How do you use mirroring to make someone like
you?
You don't!
You're not going to be good at it.
Some of you will be, there's a small percentage
of people that will be able to slowly, subtly
mimic somebody, or mock somebody.
But for the most part you're going to look
like an idiot.
So don't do it.
Just be mindful of when it happens.
That's better.
Alright.
So one of the things, like, the example is
if I am in a bar, I don't like to be overtly
touchy.
I would like to see when people touch me.
Alright.
So if I'm talking to a girl, and all of a
sudden she, you know, I'm not going to go
out and touch her, I'm going to wait.
Okay?
She hasn't touched anybody, she hasn't touched
me.
In 20 minutes, now, when we're starting to
get closer, she's starting to touch me.
It's like a good litmus test, or a way of
defining what's going on.
It's interesting.
But, like, yeah.
Don't do that.
For the most part, a lot of sales books say
that.
A lot of this.
I've very rarely found people who can do it
effectively.
If you are going to mimic something, mimic
the level of eye contact.
Even then.
See, like, if you mimic somebody else's behavior,
and their behavior sucks, then you suck.
So like if all of a sudden, you know, the
person is sitting like this, and you're like,
okay let me sit like this, or the person's
sitting like this then you don't look good.
So it's not effective.
You can do it, but the context has to be perfect.
