How to speak with power

From the article:

Correcting people is also a strong sign of intellectual dominance. Since I live outside of English speaking countries, I also mostly meet non-mother tongue English speakers.
Albeit my English is far from perfect, 99% of the times I’m the one with the best language skills.
I always take advantage of that by asking the girls I interact with if they want me to fix their English. That positions me as the intellectually dominant party of the relationship -and their answer gives me great insight into their psychology depending on their -.

Total shitpost. Correcting people is not "Dominant". It's what we cool people call assholes. It shows that you're try-hard and need to insert yourself into the conversation however possible.

Everyone hates that "actualllly..." guy.

Cutting People Off

”Similar to speaking over people, but even more powerful as the submissive party simply accepts it, thus confirming that he is the real authority.”

This isn’t serious, is it? If you cut someone off in interaction for the sake of “asserting power over them,” your social priorities need to be re-evaluated.

A lot of this lacks context. Speaking over people, correcting, etc. are only "power moves" in niche situations. In the case of Trump, it's only a power move bc his purpose is to achieve more media attention.

The most sensational or "rudest" politician/celebrity exhibiting socially brash behavior wins bc they get the most media attention. Same thing applies to Kanye.

I don't fully agree with everything but overall it's a helpful article

I thought this post was great OP.

The part about correcting is spot-on. I love correcting people, but I wouldn't advise doing this with your boss or male friends. Or if you do it, do it respectfully. No one likes to feel their intelligence questioned. Which is why it works WONDERS with women.

Like most things, it's about HOW you say stuff. If you come across like Sheldon in Big Bang Theory, then you are a total nerd. Correct them with a playful, smartass vibe, plus a smirk on your face and you're golden. Yeah I just questioned your intelligence, so what. What are you gonna do about it? Maybe you are a bit of an asshole. But you know what? Women love assholes.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard the "OMG stop correcting me! No one talks to me like that! You are horrible" while laughing and punching me in the arm. If I'm feeling particularly bold, I'll even add a "That's cool, I'll teach you how to speak properly. You get a spank next time".
