Gonna harp a little more on the hypergamy fixation again today. Not, as I’ve repeatedly emphasized, because it’s not true. Because there’s something a lot of people miss when they talk about it. Most consider hypergamy an indication of female amorality. I think you can argue this, fairly. But then you have to also look […]

I was doing some “dreamcasting” this morning about where I’d like to be in the future. It’s a good exercise, especially if you want to figure out what you value in life. (Like all ENTPs, this doesn’t come naturally to me) One thing that’s been coming up for me recently is sailing. I don’t know

Yesterday we talked about sex and enlightenment. Today we’re going to talk about it too. As you know, I think most psychological growth comes from deep, intimate relationships. The reason for that is simple. People you spend time with hold a mirror up to you. And the closer you get to someone, the more they

It seems more and more that the divide in “the sphere” is between cad and trad — those who want to sleep with a lot of girls, and those that want to settle down. Most consider me on the side of the latter. Which makes sense. I’ve taken more than a couple jabs at the “gather-notches”

I was tagged in an interesting story the other day. Basically, a very talented clarinetist got into his dream school, but his girlfriend — who didn’t want him to go away from her — pretended to be the school and sent him a “rejection” email. Meanwhile, she pretended to be him and sent a rejection to

We mentioned briefly yesterday why you can’t trust insecure girls. But we didn’t talk about why guys date them anyway. It all comes back to one of my favorite topics: Girl Game. Men are naturally stronger than women, and have a different role to play in the species. Every man deep down feels the desire to protect.
Yesterday we talked about authenticity, and how many are just play-acting the trait. But even genuine authenticity isn’t the be-all-end all in attraction. Indeed… if it’s not packaged correctly, it can even be a liability. The reason? Authentic people act boring. Now, are they ACTUALLY boring? I don’t know. A lot of people seem boring,
The Bad Kind of Authenticity Read More »
With the rise of the “personal brand,” everybody’s been talking about authenticity. I’m happy about it, too. Authentic people are more enjoyable to be around, and it’s good for business — authenticity is correlated with the deep work I do with clients. But there’s a trap that many people who want to be “authentic” fall into.

As most of you know, I’m currently in France. So it should be no surprise I’ve taken time to visit some wine producers. It’s fascinating to see how these guys work. There are certain “universals,” obviously, to how they make wine — but they styles are so distinct. One guy has a real cult following

It’s no shock to people that I enjoy my drink. Alcohol is fun, though truth be told its the culture around it I love. (Why 95%+ of what I drink is wine, unless I am in Poland or Mexico, when it’s vodka or tequila shots respectively) And so, I’ve had my share of “hangovers” and
