Fischer & Ury, closet seduction coaches ftw. Good catch, having a BATNA in negotiations takes all the pressure off you to make a deal, and gives you a clear baseline worst case scenario. The psychological effect is destressing and liberating, which is a huge advantage in any situation.

Having a BATNA (IPO) is how Skype just managed to get Microsoft to pay $8.5B when the next closest offer was $4B from Google.

You need to have options, men. Never forget this fact.

I was hanging out with my two friends tonight and we were talking to two girls who were, frankly, unattractive. Personally, I would have fucked them but my other two friends claimed they wouldn't. As a result, nobody really paid them much attention, we got bored and walked away from them.

Was the right thing to do here to try to seduce them and at least #-close? Because, right now I literally have no best-alternative. Or, am I totally misunderstanding the lesson here?
