5 Second Rule

OK...We're not talking about food hitting the ground here...

I am curious if anyone else has experienced this ~~

As I've gotten older, I find that my instincts are spot-on about 95% of the time. I also find that I trust my instincts more. All this leads up to one observation...I can tell (in about 5 seconds after meeting someone and speaking to them) whether I will like and/or trust the person or not.

Anyone else have the same experience? When did you begin to trust this instinct?

Oh...and what tips you off about a person's character in that first 5 seconds???

Inquiring minds (like mine) want to know....

I've found that I can tell if I will like someone based on: a) the number of times their eyes drop to my chest; b) the amount of intelligence in the topic of conversation they pick to have with me; and c) if they automatically treat me like an idiot because I am a woman and I am blonde.
Just my thoughts.

Hmm.... No, I take longer.

However, we do use the 5 second rule with food.

Osuche~ My mother saw that I had this sense early and fostered it, encouraging me to trust myself implicitly. The only time it has ever failed me is when I try to talk myself out of it but even then I still know.

I can't pinpoint one or even ten things that lead me to begin to construct my impression but I used to tell my dad to just give me 30 seconds on the phone with anyone he was dating and I could save him some time

My former boss still calls me to "feel people out" and I have looked over/read applications etc for Mr. Lil to help identify those with potential issues.

All this does not mean that I don't give people ample opportunity to prove me wrong. I always take it with a grain of salt, and continue on but I am possibly more cautious about how much I divulge.

I call it "listening to my gut", and luckily it's always served me well.

As for the 5 second rule for food, we practice it here too... except for one daughter who is oh-so-fussy (whatever)

I also believe that intuition is a skill that can be built upon if practiced.


Oh and hell my kids say 10 secs if it's good stuff

I completely agree with you Lil about intuition... it's something I'm interested in developing to the fullest.

I also agree about 10 seconds, lmao

Oh, hell, my 2 year old firmly believes that if she tosses a hand full of crackers under her high chair at lunch, they're good for a day or two.

Always go with your instincts, they are always correct. Its just a primal sense in all human beings. Scientist say we only use like 10% of our brains. Personally I think we use more of that, sticking an electrolyte sensor on somes head and sticking them in a room is just stupid your not going to be able to track all day to day thought processes that way. Anyways im getting off topic.

Yes I go with my instincts at all times. and 80-90% of the time i'm always right!

I wouldn't say 5 seconds..but probably within the first 30 minutes or so. Probably depends on if they break a chair within the first hour or so too!

15 seconds, and I'm right a lot more often than wrong.

Self fulfilling prophecy perhaps.

My friend mentioned this weekend that I don't give people enough of a chance and that not everything has to be a philosophical discussion. While I agree to a certain extent, I also just avoid whiners and small talkers as discreetly as possible. It usually takes me a few conversations to make up my mind but I might put up with them for a while.

I've found I like men who break chairs...especially if they do it in service of good causes.

Only a day or two? My daughter came crawling out from behind my entertainment center with an animal cracker that had to be at least a month old...I have got to get back there and clean!
