    Not what i thougt

    I thought i was going to hear about some secret nerve the whole audio, but it was only for about 30 minutes, when he talked about it in whales and some other animals. Interesting that there can be some nerve, but i did not hear anything about it that i can use.

    Also he talked about online dating, people who collect stuff, and some other stuff too.

    I give it 2 stars. For telling me about this nerve.

    Interesting Issue...

    With everything from the primitive nerve that may have a lot to do with mating to tips to successful online dating (or successful avoidance of same).
