    His wife is WAY out if his league. If it wasn’t for that, I’d tend to agree. He has been super successful in life doing sales and marketing, so I wouldn’t buck the idea. It isn’t me, but it is an interesting tool to be aware of in life.

      Considering sociopathic people tend to excel at sales and marketing, that doesn’t really rule it out.

        Just because someone is a sociopath doesn’t automatically mean they’re a bad person. Just means they’re more likely to have flexible morals depending on the situation.

            Fair enough. The original comment that the person you replied to, replied to, made it seem like sociopathy was inherently negative so I assumed you felt the same. My apologies. I just wanted to let people know that just because someone is a sociopath doesn’t mean they’re inherently evil.

      It sounds horrifying to me still to be honest. I dunno how his wives being hot (is that what we are talking about?) really changes that.

      I just don’t see how the „success“ alleviates the self-commodification and how regimenting your whole life based on some ideas around extracting highest value sounds like a pleasant life?

      But sure, if you do relationships to extract value out of it, then maybe that is a reasonable way to go at it and maybe you even get together with pretty people that makes it worth it for you. if this was me I would still ask myself what the fuck am I doing this for, but maybe thats just my existentialism talking.

        Taking one cherry picked metric as a anything more is insane and your lack of reasoning scope is appalling. Please block me as I have done you. I find interaction with you unpleasant and undesirable.

          Sure,

          I guess Im sorry if my phrasing made that feel very combative, which is not how I intended it. I didn‘t know it was common courtesy to tell people you block them though, so have a good one.

        WTF is with your tone? Effectiveness means more empirically than opinion or perception of anyone. Perhaps I am bad at explaining or perhaps he is or perhaps culture is stupid and out of check with reality. It doesn’t matter to me. Exceptional results speak for themselves with a higher truth.

          Effectiveness? At what, tricking people? Getting someone who’s “hot”, as if that’s the main measurement of a good partner. I dunno man, the whole thing seems shady and you justifying it as “effective” comes across creepy.
