Take your uncertainty as a compliment.
“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” — Charles Bukowski
The most common relationship dealbreakers.
“A study of 2,445 heterosexual, European adults aged 18-45 rated how likely they would be to reject a potential partner based on each characteristic.
Ratings for short- and long-term relationships were collected separately.
The results yielded seven distinct factors that constituted the most common relationship dealbreakers. These factors were:
-Unambitious (indecisive, no sense of purpose)
-Hostile (unfriendly, grumpy)
-Filthy (dirty, stinky)
-Arrogant (egotistical, overly opinionated)
-Unattractive (physically unappealing)
-Clingy (insistent, eager to commit)
-Abusive (aggressive, violent)” — h/t @JustinLehmiller
Men don’t know when women orgasm.
Vice asked their audience 2 important questions:
Straight men, the last time you had sex with a woman, did she orgasm?
Women, the last time you had sex with a straight man, did you orgasm?
65% of straight men said they gave the last woman they slept with an orgasm…
But only 40% of women reported orgasming the last time they had sex with a man.

Do not give your self-worth to the public.
“The mob on social media, and elsewhere, is a fickle beast; they’re rooting you on one day and tearing you down the next, and if your happiness and identity are tied to their opinions, they’ll move in a similarly undulating course.
When you’re down, you’ll be willing to do whatever it takes, including selling out your principles and tastes, to get back on top again” — @kyleschen
Beware of Mastery Lock-In.
“The problem with getting good at a game, especially one with big rewards, is you continue playing it long after you should have outgrown it.” — @naval
Alex Hormozi just spent 4 hours dropping the most brutal truths of the year on Modern Wisdom.
One line broke me:
"Money loves speed. Wealth loves time. Poverty loves indecision."
If I wanted to stop wasting my life, I would do these 10 things he said in that room.
“Nobody roots for Goliath.” — Wilt Chamberlain
People largely privilege the emotional states of a low-power character over those of a high-power character.
Basically, we have a natural affinity to the underdog.
I think it’s why we love rags-to-riches stories, fat people who’ve got fit and inspirational stories.
It reminds us that if everything goes wrong for us, we might be able to get out of the muck and mire too.
That person is also seen as less of a threat because their success seems less secure, if they came from nothing then maybe they’ll go back to nothing – so we don’t need to worry about them competing with us as much.

Many men are ass guys. Most ass guys are boob guys too. No men are only boob guys.
A 2026 study of 395 Norwegian men identified distinct groups of male preferences for female body parts:
73% are focused on both breasts and buttocks.
18% prioritise buttocks alone.
9% were “Body-Unoriented.”
Basically, researchers found no “breasts-only” group, concluding that buttocks serve as a primary, foundational preference, often complemented by breasts.
“Buttocks may occupy a more central and stable role than breasts in male mate preferences.
This suggests that men value breasts, but primarily when paired with buttocks.
Specifically, we identified a distinct subgroup of men who showed a marked preference for buttocks, but no corresponding subgroup that prioritised breasts exclusively, as ratings of breasts persistently co-occurred with high ratings of buttocks.
Put more plainly; men may derive sufficient cues related to youth, fertility, nutritional status, and developmental stability by observing the buttocks alone.
In this context, breasts appear to serve a complementary rather than primary role.”

why Naval deleted his calendar, ghosts everyone, and refuses to be anywhere at a specific time
Naval: "I read a blog post by Marc Andreessen where he said don't keep a schedule. And I took that to heart. So I deleted my calendar and I don't keep a schedule. I try to remember it all in my head. If I can't remember it, I'm not going to add it."
"I have a nasty email autoresponder that says, I don't check email and don't text me either. If you need to find me, you'll find me."
"My wife knows not to ever book or schedule me for anything. I'm not expected to go to couples dinners. I'm not expected to go to birthdays. I'm not expected to go to weddings. If somebody tries to rope her into having me show up, she says he makes his own decisions. You got to ask him directly."
Chris: "Are you not killing serendipity in a way?"
Naval: "No. I'm freeing up all my time. So my entire life is serendipity. I get to interact with whoever I want, whenever I want, wherever."
