| Hit me with a Y if this makes sense so far. | |
| I don't want to over-explain. | |
| Don't want to under-explain. | |
| Want to get the porridge just right. | |
| Hit me with a Y if this makes sense to you. | |
| Yes. | |
| We're doing all right? | |
| Good. | |
| Okay. | |
| Somebody says, a woman on a dating app, first message to me was, what's your deepest, darkest secret? | |
| I'm like, no, right. | |
| Yeah, that would be somebody. | |
| Who's looking for leverage and power over you, for sure. | |
| Now, another way that you are dealing with a selfish person, a narcissist in the amateur sense, is when they provide to you excessive praise when first meeting you. | |
| Oh, you're so funny. | |
| Oh, that's an amazing story. | |
| Oh, what an incredible outfit. | |
| I think you're the best-looking guy here. | |
| Right, whatever. | |
| Like, if you get a lot of praise early on in meeting, then that is somebody dangling the worm to see if you'll bite the hook. | |
| Relationships that start at a very high level very quickly, that accelerate to a very high level very quickly, when they're asking for secrets in your childhood and what your favorite movie is, like, it's all just probing for things. | |
| Like, I'm telling you, I have seen guys Asking women who their favorite actor is, and when the women say Brad Pitt, the guys will start to act a tiny little bit like Brad Pitt. | |
| You know, that laconic, slow-moving, even the way he, in Moneyball, he bites the top off the magic marker. | |
| Like, even the way he spits that is assertive. | |
| The man is just an assertiveness juice of dominance. | |
| If you say, oh, what's your favorite movie? | |
| Oh, I love that movie, right? | |
| And if they seem, another thing, if they seem to be in alignment with you about an improbable number of things. | |
| Now, the more you're original, the more you think for yourself, the less likely it is that anyone's going to be in alignment with you about anything. | |
| But if they seem to be, oh, I love that band. | |
| Oh, that's a great movie. | |
| Oh, he's a fantastic comedian, because he's not Bill Burr, who just completely cucked. | |
| Oh, God, it's gross. | |
| Ugh. | |
| I think they're doing fantastic things out in California. | |
| They didn't make any mistakes. | |
| Repulsive. | |
| Anyway, it's even more repulsive to get mistaken for him and Billy Corgan and Phil Collins and a pink bowling ball and a giant thumb and an ostrich egg. | |
| not necessarily in that order Bill's burnishing the balls of those in power Yeah. | |
| If there is a strange familiarity about someone when you first meet them, if you feel that there's a deep connection and that this can happen romantically in particular, right? | |
| If you feel like there's this deep connection, they just kind of click together and they lock in. | |
| It's like your jigsaw puzzle pieces that fit together. | |
| They're molding themselves to your personality in order to take control. | |
| They're settling into the seat of your soul in order to grab the joystick. | |
| Sexual innuendos are not accidental. | |
| They're never accidental. | |
| Be aware of that. | |
| I was saying Bill Burris cact is an insult to people who are cact. | |
| He's beyond cact, he's pegged. | |
| Hey Steve, nice to see you tonight. | |
| What else? | |
| When they inquire about finances. | |
| Oh, you must be doing very well. | |
| Oh, when did you get into Bitcoin? | |
| Oh, right. | |
| When they start inquiring into finances or they are trying to very quickly establish Your status. | |
| Oh, what do you do for a living? | |
| Oh, where did you go to school? | |
| They're trying to establish your status. | |
| Then you're certainly dealing with a status seeker. | |
| You're certainly dealing with a status seeker. | |
| They're always a little bit surprised, because often I will, I mean, because it's kind of true, I really, I mean, I know I work for a living, but if I was unemployed with infinite resources, I would do this. | |
| So I just say, oh, I'm, you know, and I did retire from my business career. | |
| And I say, oh, I took early retirement or I'm unemployed or something like that. | |
| It's not totally false, but you can see for the data secrets, you can see that if you say, I'm unemployed or I'm retired, you can see that, well, maybe retired they think, you know, he did really well or whatever, right? | |
| But you can see the look. | |
| Go down, right? | |
| Go down, right? |
