An interesting talk by TJ English.

A classic mob documentary from the 1980s. Very colorful.

I am Gen X. Falling down a rabbit hole and watching a ton of videos about red pill/MGTOW the last few days. I see a lot of talk about men withdrawing from dating. How men are not approaching women. And I am left a bit confused.

20-30 years ago women generally expected a guy to be the one to approach. The guy was the one to ask her on a date. But, the women made it OBVIOUS when they were interested so it lowered the anxiety. Example, if you were out in public (for instance at a party or a nightclub or even a bookstore or gym) and there was a cute young lady there who was interested in you she would lock eyes and maintain eye contact for long enough to let you know you are welcome to approach. Maybe even smile a little. We called it "reckless eyeballing".

And she would do it consistently. If she refused to make eye contact or gave you a less than pleased expression that meant she was not interested. So you knew who was safe to approach and who was not. You even see this reflected in rom-coms of the era. Think Pretty in Pink or Sixteen Candles.

Is this no longer true for young people. I know women 40 plus still do this.

Is this common for a seller to sell a home where the buyer is assuming their existing mortgage and paying them the equity in cash? How hard is it to switch the seller for the buyer on an existing mortgage?

I have a client asking me about this and I am at a loss.

You got a pocket full of quarters and you're heading to the arcade. What are you playing?
