Every man who is in a happy relationship got this right on the first date:
- Sat next to her (never sit across)
- Paid for drinks
- Let her talk more than he did (80/20 rule)
- Brushed her leg/touched her arm at exactly the right time
- Told her just enough, but not too much
- Ended the date with a kiss (or more)
Half of men will read this and nod. Half of men call it inauthentic and laugh.
Only one of these halves is happily in relationships…
Stop asking girls stupid questions like "what is your favourite colour"❌
Ask questions like a man, not a child.
Here are 8 power questions that SEPARATES you from other men:
convinced that if you decided to write out how your perfect life would look every month (max 10 sentences) for a year
you would 7x your results and get rid of the feeling of missing out or being lost
all of our answers are always found in the simplest methods we overlook
Old moms are more neurotic because they spent their years of youthful neuroplasticity goofing off and it turns out that adapting to motherhood in the grandma years (40+) is actually very difficult.
This is how to compliment without simping.
And why all the traditional never-validate advice is incomplete.
Notice how there’s really zero repression, he’s very liberal with complimenting.
“You are so cute” “I’m so serious” “You have such a cool look to you”
If he feels like saying it, he says it.
And he doesn’t come across like a fan at all. Reason why is because of the back and forth energy balance.
Yes he compliments and validates, but he also takes away validation too.
By:
Giving her shit -
“Yes you, not the person behind you”
“I love how you’re so taken aback, as if this is not happening to you all day”
By evaluating her -
“… all black, I had to come see what’s happening”
His entire demeanor throughout the interaction is a give and take.
And so no matter how much he compliments,
The balance remains even as he equally breaks rapport just as much if not more.
“You speak good English right?”
“Omg you’re unbelievable”
“You’re kidding”
Interrupting her and changing threads,
Leading the conversation.
What’s being communicated is:
“Yes I am interested but I’m not a pushover”
The interest comes not from pedeatalization but from expressing purely what’s on his mind.
Both the positive and the negative.
And that’s what works.
Crazy I know, but I think the International Paper rebrand in 2023 was brilliant. It feels like something you’d see printed on a brochure from a business conference in 1968, esp with the mid century inspired font
Jim Simons broke codes for the NSA, then got fired for criticizing the Vietnam War in the New York Times. He went back to math, built Stony Brook's department from nothing, and at 40 years old decided to start trading. By 70 he was the most successful investor in human history.
In 2010 he gave a lecture at MIT about how it all happened. One hour and three minutes.

Coca-Cola ha estado presente en Chile desde 1946, aportando empleo y acompañando a generaciones con marcas que ya son parte de la vida cotidiana. Visité su planta insignia de Renca y conversé con Gonzalo Said y otros directivos sobre los desafíos y metas de este año. Da gusto ver cómo una empresa con tanta historia sigue apostando por el crecimiento y el impacto positivo en Chile: no solo destapa botellas, también destapa oportunidades.
