I just had to post this here before I forget about it as I am going to want to refer to it later.  The article is about flirtatious women getting a better deal when negotiating purchases, but it also refers to something else that I find really interesting.  When the flirtation was perceived as friendliness the person got a worse deal… So under the current prevailing economic mindset, being friendly costs you money.  Isn’t that crazy?  So we are currently encouraging people to not be friendly if they want to get ahead and succeed.  Hmm… ever wondered why there seems to be so much conflict in the world today?  It is an inherent feature of the current prevailing pricing system and the mindset that surrounds it.  Does it have to be this way?  I don’t think so, I think there is a better way.

I’ll write more about this soon.  Here is the link:
