wow. i´m the only person who thinks this has any merit. so be it. i´ve known about the "3 day rule" for ages and know heaps of friends who subscribe to it. ok we´re all old enough to realise it´s an arbitrary number but i do know people that have been freaked out when someone has called "too early." also giving yourself a bit of time to think about why you want to call this person can save a lot of hassle in the long run but, even though the rule was presented in a very juvenile way in the OP which allowed everyone to jump on it so easily, the idea does have merit when applied properly.

The Fix It guy doesnt understand that sometimes we gals dont want a fix, we just want sounding board. He doesnt hear that though because his brain is too busy with Must fix this problem mode. Then there is the mind reader that thinks he has the women in his life all figured out only to find himself being told to go shove his head up his ass because he too doesnt listen. He doesnt go into the fix it camp though. Hes too busy telling everybody what they think about things which may or may not include himself.

It doesnt take long to figure out which camp a guy falls into. All one has to do is shut up and listen, which brings me back to the original subject of this post. Phone calls are a great way to get to know a person and usually reveal a lot more than a face to face conversation in the whole courting game.

Humans are not complicated, they make themselves complicated...
quite unnecessarily stereotypical and a bit sexist if you ask me.
