Episode notes
Why 'Asshole' Traits Can Seem Attractive
- 'Asshole' traits often signal confident directness and decisiveness, not cruelty.
- Women sometimes prefer partners who can take the lead and ask for what they want.
Don't Over-Accommodate Early On
- When someone cancels repeatedly early on, consider moving on instead of repeatedly accommodating.
- Adjust your response by context: be flexible for known partners, firm for strangers to avoid seeming overly available.
Phrase Availability To Maintain Presence
- Phrase scheduling messages to avoid sounding overly available by asking what works for the other person.
- Prefer 'I'm pretty flexible this week, is there a specific day/time that works for you?' over listing many open slots.
