giving value

housepartypuaLegend and I were talking recently about this whole game.  Call it what you want:  dating skills, learning how to be great in a relationship, learning game, being a pick-up artist, etc.

Regardless, our blog content is all free and is not for profit.

We will very occasionally review a product and affiliate the link, but that just makes sense: If we truly believe in a product and send it web hits and prospective buyers, there’s no reason we [Click to Continue Reading…]

Edge – Willingness to Give Value

by Edge Thoughts

Thinking back on my social interactions, I had a history of being stingy even as a kid. I didn’t like sharing, I wasn’t a big fan of being generous and I was definitely one to fight for anything that I viewed as scarce. As a teenager, I saw this in myself and felt guilty about [...]

Edge – Giving Value vs. Taking Value

by Edge Thoughts

Here and there, people will talk about giving and taking value in social settings and interactions. In my last post, I wrote about how I’ve begun throwing house parties with my roommates as a way to meet women and give value to all of my guests. It works phenomenally. But let’s step back and take [...]
