I cannot remember the official source, but I remember reading a report about a correlation between relationship success versus social media posts. Couples that post more posed photos of themselves typically have less relationship success versus those who keep their relationship private. Some rational discussed was that those who posted more may have done so to make their relationship seem stronger than what it was (more superficial) versus those who kept it private and prioritized the actual experience of the relationship itself. My opinion... a man that posts more of his partner than the partner posts of them probably has more investment than the other person (think about the whole "leaning in" thing with guys versus partners in photos). Someone is always at a "disadvantage" in a relationship and their sexual mating strategies... IMO, it is pretty rare to see a truly 50/50 relationship where both partners are deeply invested in the other.

Kinda of similar to the correlation between wedding costs and divorce rates. The showier the relationship/display of relationship, the higher correlation to the relationship ending.

"How do you know [event host name]?" "Hey, have you meet [name] yet?" (be the connector) (next to a group that you are listening in on the conversation) "Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear [topic of their discussion]..." "Would you like a quick video (or photo) for your IG story?" (whip out the phone and ring light, exchange IGs) ***I recommend "How To Talk to Anyone" by Leil Lowndes for other tips on starting and maintaining conversation with anyone

Karim beat me to it lol. Add value without asking anything in return. That will set you apart from everyone else who seeks just to get something from him.

Benefits of small cities: no one else is doing what MOA teaches. Big fish in a small pond and it is easy to make yourself stand out/build your status. Drawbacks... it's a small pond. You can only work with what is available to do. If a scene doesn't exist, you have to step up to create it and create things that DRAW the type of people you want to come to you. The shortcut is to find a location that has everything you already want, and move or visit often. If you are fishing in a pond for red fish and all that lives in the pond are yellow fish, I don't care if you are the best red fisherman in the world... it will be IMPOSSIBLE to catch a yellow fish. If you are fishing a pond with mainly yellow fish, and 1-2 red fish, you MIGHT catch a red fish, but the odds are much lower and you have to work much harder. If you find a pond with mainly red fish with a few yellow fish, the amount of work you have to put in is drastically reduced. In the military, we say "amateurs train in tactics; professionals train in logistics." The "set-up" and focus on gaining resources that create strong leverage from your environment can create asymmetric results versus one-on-one on the street tactics.

@Dingiswayo M People are people. Women and men have innate "programs" hardwired into us across the globe. Read "Evolution of Desire" by Dr. David Buss to get an in-depth look and what I am talking about.
