@Selatrop @bryan_caplan No. I’m not retarded. “Unaccented” in this context could obviously mean Hispanic or Spanish. Relax.

Spaniards can never fully appreciate how weird it is for Americans to hear white people speaking unaccented Spanish.

@tosuperego @bryan_caplan OK thanks. got it, so he means original accent. Also - wouldn’t the English accent be the appropriate analogy here not the American?

@WilmoreStandard @bryan_caplan Means standard Spanish spoken in Spain, just like when you say this person in US English has "no accent", it doesn't mean he literally doesn't pronounce things in a certain way, that's clearly impossible. It means he speaks with a standard, US accent. Spanish accent is that.

It’s also a much clearer sign she actually means it. Women are naturally more agreeable - often, her saying it back is just a way to avoid awkwardness, ride the romantic wave of the moment, or spare your feelings. When she says it first, it originated with her. It’s proactive rather than a reaction.

@LisaBritton A good tip for men, especially young men, is to WAIT for her to say 'I love you' first. That can be difficult, since men are usually more romantic, but showing that self restraint makes it feel more real to her. I learned this from Roissy

My mom and I were having a conversation about dating. My stepdad, a man of few words, was sitting on the couch with his iPad. He casually chimes in “I played hard to get with her” (motioning to my mom) “Works every time.” I burst out laughing at his bluntness and my mom stared at him like she had been duped. But it got me thinking— Men: How many of you played “hard to get” with your current love?

@StefanMolyneux Probably more of a society commentary than IQ. But you could argue that high IQ = better society.

The obsession with “finding yourself”entirely misses the point of life. It’s a juvenile and selfish answer to what it’s all for. Totally self centred. Literally. To the extent you do need to find yourself it should be so you are better equipped to go out and do great things, not retire from life like a hermit. An outstanding career or a family that leaves your mark on the world. It seems her legacy will be well organised cosmetic drawers. Very sad.
French OG@FrenchOG3

The end game of finding yourself, which is polluting the younger generation, is to eventually finding no one because you have created a reality where you are so self-efficient, adding someone new to your life has a negative expected value to a very organised set-up. People who have been nurtured with this idea of self-control to its paroxistic level since birth are some of the most stale of individuals out there, because everything is so structured, and there is no life about them. Like watching Arsenal under Arteta, where talented players have been overcoached to the point they have lost their intuition or flair for goals, through a control freak approach only worried about optimising for everything. Usually, such set-ups are illustrations of self-soothing stories, especially for social beings such as women, where they are are using a control-narrative to self-empower a rather uneventful life and doubling down on it through the angle of standards. What I find particularly amusing is the cognitive dissonance on apps where women are so desperate to say they don’t need a man, yet are dating trying to find one. The desperate need to unpromptly verbally frame a meta reality which does not align with what they are doing… searching for a man. Again, control of the perception at all costs. If they only wanted a man, they would be passive as they have been all their lives, but their actions are so desperate it is amusing appreciating the delta. Or a video such as this one where they are so satisfied of saying they are independent and have standards, yet they feel the need display that to the world to get that tap on the back “you go girl” when it is not the parents reinforcing it. The men I know who are in this same mindset are to happy to even bother posting about it. This is not to say this idea of self-reliance or self-sufficiency is wrong, but usually one would need the experience of a long-term relationship to be able to contrast it and draw perspectives. Here, it reads mostly as a socially awkward woman with neurotic and OCD tendencies who is framing a lack as a virtue, reinforced by the comment sections, rather than appreciating life has to teach her more stuff, including the fact that the act of secluding yourself does not make you a higher being, it just reinforces a reality that is never challenged, which is in essence weak. The most interesting people I have met have had the craziest stories, and through that had some of the most original nuggets of wisdom, and were willing to break their inner narrative to see what would come out of it. A mind who is only relying on third party processed information is a lazy one. It shops in the marketplace of ideas and pick something who somewhat sounds like them but it never takes the plunge, like the economist who only read Keynes and Ricardo and writes columns on a newspaper about business without having ever ran one. If my 20s had taught me something is you don’t know as much as you think you do until you live it. Which she clearly hasn’t. Yet the echo box will make her think she is smarter than she is.

@bluewmist This is horrible advice. A huge part of progression in the corporate world is your ability to be sociable and likeable - like all of life. Going to the pub with the boss after work has netted me several promotions.

@aiedge_ It’s so common in political press releases. Which means they’re not only not clever enough to write their own thoughts but they’re not even aware of the most obvious tells.
