Hey Puddle So "Open" means exactly the way you described the guy...sexy eh? Laying all the cards on the table is generally where I get to pretty quickly with most people. Rare that I hold anything back. I have learned that a good spot is somewhere near where I am sharing TOO much and keeping people guessing a bit.
Its funny, I seem to be unique in the aspect and it really throws people to the point where they think I am trying to "get something" from them so they close down. In biz, this tactic only works when your in charge, the rest of the time, when I was working for others, it backfired a lot and I got slapped down A LOT. So, Too honest is bad, Hiding things is bad, Always saying what is on your mind is BAD BAD BAD, so there is a balance.
I can tell you this though, CLOSED OFF IS JUST AS BAD AS TOO OPEN. e.g. Wife and CVA, respectively.
