Episode notes
INSIGHT

Practice Dating Early

  • Dating is a skill that improves with deliberate practice and real reps.
  • Delaying dating until 'you build yourself' is usually counterproductive.
ADVICE

Do Post‑Mortems After Dates

  • Do post-mortems after sexual or dating interactions to learn what went right and wrong.
  • Treat sex like any other process and analyze it no-fault on a whiteboard.
ADVICE

Make Your Interest Common Knowledge

  • Create common knowledge when you 'shoot your shot' so your interest is unmistakable.
  • Prefer clear, well-timed moves because ambiguous openings don't count as shooting your shot.
