Full Definition:
The 2 second rule is a conversational technique developed by Dan of Charisma Coaching. One of the qualities that women value most in men, is the quality of being a good listener. However, many PUAs have poor listening skills because they are so intent on what they are going to say next, or because they interrupt the women who they are speaking to in their anxiousness to relate to them on something they mentioned.
The two second rule is a good technique that can be used to improve a PUA’s listening skills. By waiting for a full two seconds after a person has made a statement, they ensure that the other person has had a chance to say everything they wanted to say, and they can then relate to the last statement which the person made, which is usually the main point that they wanted to make.
Good listening skills are crucial to developing strong rapport and having a good conversation, and the 2 second rule can be a good way to stay in the moment and be an appreciative listener.
Usage:
Try using the 2 second rule, instead of interrupting her every time she talks!
