I don't mean to make this a broad sweeping statement it's just an observation of the men I've talked to in my life.

我并不是说这是一种广泛的现象，这只是在我与我认识的男人交谈时的一个发现。

How to practice it: Next time you start a conversation, make an effort to ask the person you're chatting with at least three questions before making another observation of your own.

具体怎么做：下次在开始一段对话前，准备好三个问题，向对方发问，然后再发表你的看法。

Cultivate an ever-continuous power of observation. Wherever you are, be always ready to make slight notes of postures, groups and incidents.

要培养一种持续性的观察能力，不管在什么地方，都要经常有意识的留意人的动作、人群、和事物的细微变化。

It used to be the case, for example, that it cost less to make a new observation than to store the results of an old one.
