3 days, fool?

i just learned about this 3 day rule business where a guy is supposed to wait three days to call a girl. by waiting exactly three days, that's supposed to be long enough to intrigue her and make him not seem desperate. one day = desperate! two days = still kinda desperate! three days = omg eligible bachelor who made time for me! bullshit. 72 hours is a long freaking time, and personally, i'm more flattered by a guy who calls sooner rather than later. put it like this, you waiting three days isn't going to make me want you more; it's just going to piss me off. if i don't want you when you call on day 1 or day 2, then i'm not going to want you when you call on day 3 or 20. but that's just how i feel. i didn't know people actually adhere to such rules. does this make sense? does this actually add value and benefit to the relationship? do women do this too or just men? in honor of this conundrum, i have a new poll. i also welcome comments.

i can barely wait 3 hours for anything let alone 3 days, L.A.

well, I am a woman and not a typical one at that but i used to definitely wait a few days. But as I get older and realize what i want more there was no need to wait. Either you want to get to know the person or not. Simple as that.
