GAMEFILM: BEGINNING TO END TEXT BREAKDOWN

There’s a LOT of gems in this so it’s a longer read. if you don’t want to supercharge your texting stop here.

But I guarantee this blows paywalled texting breakdowns to smithereens.

I see a lot of bad texting on this app

This is not one of them

To start,

Great demonstration of avoiding burden

This girl is throwing shit at him throughout the interaction

And every time pimp runs sexy texting jujitsu:

“Not the late night message” = “I disapprove”

Most guys qualify or apologize.

“Sorry didn’t mean for that.”

“This isn’t a booty call”

Lower position

Pimp: “I know what’s wrong with us”

NOT accepting blame but “sharing” it with her.

Position even,

Also indirectly knocks her off high horse.

Next,

“Considering I’m not in San Diego, yes”

Translation -> your message was actually worse, admit it

Most guys submit to the “logic”.

Lower position.

Pimp: “Wow what a tease”

Redirects conversation to another thread, do this through observation / judgement / free association on current situation, instead of responding from within it

This is skirting out of the blame choke hold a second time.

She is not a fan.

“Ok is this all you got” -> "Are you just the hook up guy playing games"

disapproval + qualification bait

“Relationships are a two way street”

Evades qualification and reverse pushes burden.

See how each time she’s opening a door to HER precedent, and pimp is refusing to enter?

Don’t play into her judgement play to yours.

Another ex: "Depends on what you're bringing also"

next thread, though I don’t dislike pimps message imo it kept the conversation too “standstill”

He may have a different read on it, but mine is:

Multiple threads in they’re still frame battling over the same thing and it gets old.

Though not entering her frame with the joke, Pimp is not creating a new one for her to follow

Not saying that’s why she ghosted but it might have contributed

My personal opinion:

Do not take the burden, but also push the conversation forward.

“... I’m looking for a relationship”

“Love that - why don’t we stop going at each other then?” -> calls her out nicely

“We’ll have a better shot at one this way :)”

Give her something to fall under, while also challenging her to put her money where her mouth is.

Bangs comfort and now anytime she’s difficult it’s under the premise of her rejecting a potential relationship lol

Then you could close from there

But yeah who knows

Anyways

She wants to set up a date after double texting.

I’m guessing either Pimp didn’t respond right away or it’s that she expected him to schedule in a time but he didn’t lol

She invested a lot in that response so to receive a one liner back she feels stupid that it was not reciprocated.

Hence the Hmmph lol

I’m sure he has his reasons, but would have been decent to take the shot there instead of saying “love that for us” if he wanted to.

I understand it’s close to the double text but her investment + initiative makes it a high percentage shot.

You could also push for more investment here too instead of slamming the breaks.

“down if you promise we’re not gonna bicker all night and be good to each other lol”

Arguably the way it ended up he had an even stronger precedent so oh well

Hereafter there’s a lot of frame reversal.

Pimps now playing the hot girl on the hot girl.

“Can you stop messaging me so late at night…”

Trolling, entering banter again while qualifying/ pushing burden on her

It’s a weird spot though because you’re trying to rebuild momentum now after dubbing her earlier.

What I probably would have done too, but makes the convo feel like it’s going nowhere

One thread is decent two might have been greedy.

She ghosts again for another couple days then springs back up.

Pimp shoots here but she’s in India lol

Pimp gives her shit

“What is the point of hinging in India”

She is reactive but does not carry burden.

“Is a girl allowed to…” -> your judgement is ridiculous

“Is that all I am to you”

Places a lot of burden on the girl.

Challenges her and is investment bait for her to qualify. Exactly what chicks do, sex.

NOW -

Notice what she does.

ZERO acceptance of burden.

“I was waiting and waiting for your response” -> not my fault it’s yours

“When are you going to take me on a date” -> redirection challenge

Look how she skirts the negative positioning, the qualification and then creates a reversal lol.

Women are masters at avoiding accountability, it is positioning management.

TEXTING IS A POSITIONING GAME.

Learn this and congrats you’re a better texter than 97%+ of guys

Next is LOGISTICS.

He’s demonstrated his value.

That he can hold boundaries, carry no burden, troll.

This is high positioning - you saw how he built it brick by brick and how she didn’t just accept it like a lot of other exchanges.

This is where you do logistics

Notice

There’s no immediate specificity.

They are discussing AROUND the idea of when and where first.

“When you’re back from eat pray love”

“Back this weekend”

“Ok maybe this weekend, busy Sunday though”

The logistics are TENTATIVE but that’s all you need, the specificity does not increase your odds or solidify the plan whatsoever.

The confirmation of the hang out is already there, worry about details later/one at a time.

Next section.

More burden skirting.

“My ideal first date is laying in bed anyways”

Maybe meant as a filter or a ping idk, but this kind of text also triggers ASD, feeling easy, so she tests him again.

“How many first dates do you have laying down…”

Most guys: uhhhh none actually -> qualifies, backtracks -> L

Most guys: why is it even your business -> Directionally good but too overt, comes across butthurt, reactive -> L

Pimp: reverse burdens, calls out the hypocrisy and fights fire with fire.

“Hate you have the little heart…” -> who are you to be asking me that question but calibrated, the abstraction softens the message

It’s an equal amount of judgement redirected back which cancels things out.

She reacts, great for pimp.

Per her trying to secure a relationship, or give off that impression at the very least, this does not look good so she has to.

Wants to push burden back but it still creates the perfect shot for pimp.

“Come over after your flight”

This is getting more specific with logistics, see how that works? You don’t need to rush it.

Final stage

REASSURANCE (comfort)

This is not her trying to out big dick you, or “get out of hanging out”

You’re no longer in a battle for position for the most part, (look at her double texting as evidence)

This is her feeling nerves, you fuck up if you don’t treat it as such.

Solve her concerns.

“My mom…” -> she feels uneasy about straight to box, phrased in a lighthearted way

“You could be a catfish” -> more concern

Solve her concern, do not big dick her or treat it like another positioning game.

“Your mom would say yolo and you should go”

“Your mom said this man has gone back n forth with you for a month, you should go” -> create a frame of familiarity

“We can FaceTime before”

Just offer solutions here

That’s it.

OK THANKS FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.

In summary,

Do not carry burden

Texting is about positioning

Logistics at high point, no need to rush specifics

Help her solve concerns

And

Don’t be ghey.

NOW - could this have been better optimized? Maybe, maybe not

But all in all this is a HUGE demonstration of the texting dynamics that are the needle movers, with great range.

Shout out Pimpjuice.

He one of them ones.

Personally, I would go down an opal mine every day but Sunday before I set foot on an Alaska crab boat.

During one of the worst storms of my career, I stood as officer of the watch on a 1,000-foot supertanker, bobbing like a cork in a tsunami. All I wished for was a 2,000-foot ship.

When it gets that bad, you start fantasizing about the various ways you can end your own life just to stop the pain. Not at first, but after a few days of it, yes.

When the weather cleared, I saw a tiny crab boat.

Then a voice came over the radio. “Do you see me?”

I grabbed the binoculars, and I still can’t describe what I saw.

The guy wanted confirmation that he was still alive. He did not believe he was.

The look of relief on his face when I called him back is something I will never forget.

I have also crawled through tiny 100-foot tunnels in the bottom of a ship. Once, the tunnel was flooding with water. Twice, the ship almost capsized.

What people don’t understand about ships is that there is absolutely no light in the steel box of a double hull. NO LIGHT.

Once my flashlight died, and it was the purest black I’ve ever experienced. NO LIGHT.

I never entered a tank or crawl space again without two flashlights and a watch.

Those claustrophobic experiences were nowhere near as scary as the look of pure horror on that crab fisherman’s face.

It’s kind of funny that John Adams is left entirely out of the Hamilton musical. It probably would have undermined the central character too much.

Meanwhile we have this scene from the HBO series.

[Your Best Version @YourPrimePath]

Stop being a loser. Get up early. Make your bed. Go train. Eat clean. Do your laundry. Pay every bill on time. Save till it hurts, then save more. Pick a craft and get obsessed. Pick a person to become and start acting like them today. Care more than everyone around you. Push till you break, then get back up. Knowing when to quit isn't weakness, it's strategy. Stand up straight. Speak up. Go all in. Smile anyway. Life is short and then it's gone. Misery is a choice. You're not the first to suffer and you won't be the last. Someone with less than you made it. So will you. Nobody's special. Everybody is. Keep moving.

National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon (1993) has one of the GREATEST cameos ever: Bruce Willis drops in and is basically John McClane. He did it as a favour to his brother David, who produced the film. I also added the Basic Instinct gag with Kathy Ireland… I couldn’t resist

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why nobody goes to Outback Steakhouse anymore

At its peak, Outback Steakhouse operated nearly 1,000 restaurants across the United States. It didn’t just become a successful chain, it helped create the entire casual steakhouse category and turned the Australian-themed dining experience into a cultural phenomenon.

But today, the picture looks very different. The company has closed nearly 40% of its restaurants, and its stock has gone essentially nowhere since going public in 2012.

So how did one of America’s biggest restaurant success stories lose its momentum?

This is the rise and fall of Outback Steakhouse.

I’ve known several women just like this. Every one of them eventually had a midlife crisis and turned to drugs or alcohol to cope.

She’s only 32, so there’s still some arrogance in her eyes. Take this woman and imagine her 20 years from now. Now imagine millions more just like her.

Today’s “32 and single” is tomorrow’s “52 and miserable.” By the time these women learn, it’ll be too late.

We are in the early stages of the “female loneliness epidemic,” and millions still don’t see it coming.

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise of Panda Express

Back in 2006, Chipotle went public. The stock soared, and McDonald’s made billions by selling its stake in the company. At the time, every restaurant operator and investor in America was following the same playbook: franchise aggressively, grow fast, go public, and cash out.

That same year, a reporter asked Panda Express co-founder Andrew Cherng whether he would ever take the company public. His answer was simple: “We don’t need the money.”

Was that the smartest decision in the restaurant business or the dumbest? That’s what this video explores.

When Cherng made that comment, Panda Express had just crossed $1 billion in annual sales and was growing rapidly. But instead of franchising like McDonald’s or bringing in outside investors, the Cherng family chose a different path. They kept ownership of virtually everything, controlling every restaurant themselves.

Eighteen years later, that decision looks very different. Panda Express is approaching $6 billion in annual sales. It has surpassed major chains like KFC, Arby’s, and Popeyes in systemwide revenue. The Cherng family has become worth billions, all while maintaining control of the business they built.

And just as Chipotle came to dominate fast-casual Mexican food, Panda Express has become the dominant force in American Chinese fast food.

This is the rise of Panda Express.
