People are not always sure there is a science to relatonships until I spend a minute explaining it to them. Everything in the universe is about inductance. Inductance has lots of gobbledy-gook definitions that require you to know what a lot of other words mean, so physics definitions don’t always help, but inertia is part of the lexicon and everyone knows what that is.
Inductance is like inertia, except for electricity. You know that inertia means. It takes some effort to get something moving but, once you get going, it is actually easier to keep it going. So it goes with relationships. With inductance, you have more electrons in one place than another and they are induced to go somewhere else, like when I went green by using fruit for all my electricity. There’s a metaphor for relationships in that also.
Romantic inertia is obvious for men in statements like “it’s always easier to get a girl if you already have one.” Romantic inductance is obvious for women because a woman knows that if she takes her vagina into a bar full of men that have no vaginas, the vagina-lacking men will be induced toward her until equilibrium is reached.
Seriously, you can make an inductance metaphor for almost anything in life. 1
Relationships have inductance, and we’ll get to that in a minute, but first we have to overcome romantic inertia, which means you need a girl. Science can help here also.
Before you can create romantic inductance with her you need to overcome her inertia about you. Girls love to laugh. There are some spectacular women who have dated some ugly men because women are on a higher intellectual plane than men and will overlook a lot of things for a guy who makes her laugh, including your Star Trek “SET PHASERS FOR FUN” t-shirt with barbecue sauce on it from dinner three nights ago.
Here are some personal favorite opening lines to interest that science chick:
