Hi All.

The Art of Manliness just put out a video on making small talk with strangers. It seems to be fairly informative if you think you could use some tips and want to meet new people.

I'm not understanding? Isn't the majority of small talk just getting over the immediate fear of talking to someone and then trying to pretend to give a crap about their menial stuff?

I don't care about making small talk with people but I thought this might help those that do. Was I wrong? I usually just talk about whatever I want and if the person I'm talking to doesn't want to hear it they can either leave or deal with it.
