Now you positively gotta check
this one out
there is a behavioral consulting company in New York City called First Impressions. Among their
services they have a dating simulation. A psychologist meets with you in a public area, a restaurant or something,
and you have a pretend date for two or three hours. Then the psychologist prepares you a detailed report of your
communication styles, strengths, weaknesses and which specific behaviors, attitudes, personal approaches are
hindering the way other potential (mates, girl/boyfriends, hookups, business associates, and so on) will perceive
you IN SPITE OF how you believe you are perceived. I read their book where they detail the long list of behaviors we
have that we think are sending positive or neutral signals that are in fact turning people off, shutting down
communication, running the interaction into the ground.... I guess the take home message is that the great majority
of us don't have high quality feedback that will let us fine tune our presentation, and that many of us suffer life
long "social underachievement" as a direct result.... and that's a horrifying thought...
here ya go

Hmmm, somebody's found a way to make a buck off of this problem.
