Question: My best friend, Jason, and I often go to town together and went for bashes. We’re both attractive, but for some unknown reason, he gets all the girls. He tells me it’s because I talk too much about myself. Is there any truth to that?

Answer: While you shouldn’t be embarrassed to shine in the spotlight and talk about yourself, there is a limit. If, after chatting with a woman, you found you know more about her than you did when you first said your hellos, you are indeed monopolizing the conversation. Droning on and on about your job, childhood, love life, opinions, and interests is a great big turnoff. So start listening to your conversation partners, or prepare to spend every Saturday night hitting the town with Jason.
