@GabeLakmann @nierenstein Like, maybe it just works for me but cultivate your dad energy and mock the bad, the inferior, the embarrassing and compliment the good. Recognize effort and dole out little rewards to people/girls/kids and they’re putty.
People are so terribly starved for intimacy, friendship, recognition that some of them are like rescue dogs being brought home from death row after an hour of taking stock of their life and giving them a pep talk.
Giving a girl a deserved compliment that’s well targeted after a handful of mockery works wonders
(not that I know what I’m doing, but every time I go somewhere new people like me and want me to come back so I must be doing some things right)
