But when you had the beat down shit life I had growing up, you're gonna have to do something to have a fulfilling dating life
I'm an engineer and approach everything else in life from the same concepts...there is always an OPTIMAL move
Do you see how often people here ask for girl advice and how terrible they are with women? Why would I volunteer to be that terrible if I can game theory improvements that make a lot of difference?
If theres discussion on how to do something, there is an optimal way to do it, and that means it can be studied and engineered
That said, it is not sociopathic at all, it can be as simple as "introduce yourself and swap names as soon as possible" or "maintain good eye contact". Or a million of other little or advanced things that add up
I respect women and all...but there is always an OPTIMAL thing to do or say. And because of the work I've put in I will always know that optimal move
(Note that optimal does not mean it works 100% of the time, and adjustments are a big part of the game)
Like the saying goes, dont hate the player, hate the game
Fair points, but I find it odd to break human interactions to optimal settings; however, I know a lot of engineers and you're not alone in that way of thinking. Still creepy though, and I call 'em out on it whenever I get the chance
