Do you work out?
"Do you work out?" and all its permutations has got to be the most amusing I.O.I* I've ever heard; because I'm allergic to physical fitness and because of all the body language that accompanies this line.
-So, do you work out?
—Er, no.
-Ah, kasi… (sabay tinging sa dibdib) daw ka-firm sang lawas mo…
(parang napaka-firm ng katawan mo)
—I suppose golf is ok. The pace suits me since I don't like fast sports.
- Oh but you look fit.
—I'd really rather not move at all blah blah blah…
- You look fit… (pinipilit na 'di tumingin sa dibdib)
Then, last night
-So, what sports do you do?
—Uh, none. I'm not an active person.
(Later that evening, without prompting…)
-I'm surpised. First time I met you, I had you pegged for the sporty type.
—Eh? Why?
- Well, um, uh… (embarrassed, but gestures towards body with a once-over look) you look good…
—Ehehe…

haha panis! i've read parts of The Game, very interesting methodology. NLP seems like a very useful talent, whatever your purposes may be.
