You are too busy to read and I am too busy to write so lets just use the tl;dr of some posts that I will never bother writing:

Something seddit needs

There is not enough material on how to be interesting. Most of what we teach is "inner-game"/confidence.

Seddit should be about all self-improvement and seduction. Once you have the balls to talk to somebody you need to have something to say. If you want a relationship with a smart girl and not just a one night stand then you need to be interesting. Confidence is only half the equation towards demonstrating high value. This guy is probably confident, but you can tell he is going to have nothing to say.

What can you do? Learn some patterns for telling anecdotes, and patterns for jokes, and techniques to spontaneously bounce ideas. Seddit needs some posts on these. I'll do some in the future, anyone else want to join?

Simple tricks for interesting conversation with somebody you already know

  1. Ask relevant blue sky, open-ended questions, e.g. when talking about animals try "I wonder what aliens would look like?"
  2. Give them the tl;dr rather than the story, and let them ask you questions about it. e.g. "I humiliated myself yesterday". "how?". "I fell off my bike while eating an ice cream". "Hah!? why/how/where?". Then go into detail, one sentence at a time, and hopefully have a useless "life-lesson" at the end.

Intelligent conversation topics for the lazy:

When bored (or feel like lightly preparing for a dinner party type thing) I get some good topics from here, then look around wikipedia for a bit on the topics discussed. Its efficient. Also read slate.com, wired.com, NYT, and the top-posts-of-the-week in /r/truereddit. Sunday newspapers are great too.

How to tell if your field report is any good: a tongue-in-cheek checklist (tongue-in-cheeklist)

☐ Some people don't believe you
☐ Some people say it was "easy, so what?"
☐ Some people accuse you of rape
☐ You are told you wrote too much
☐ You are asked to write more and clarify things
☐ You get hate-PMs
☐ You get dismissed as 'you must be attractive'
☐ But mostly people seem to like it and leave nice comments

Summer clothes

Summer is here. Some good guides have popped up on dressing well cheaply in the UK and US on /r/malefashionadvice. Don't miss out. I just bought some white buck shoes.

Your Myers-Briggs personality type and how you can use it.

Can be fun to talk about. Also look up the "big five" personality types.

Personality type has become a favourite conversation topic of mine, especially with the tenderer gender. Girls love reading horoscopes and answering quizzes. Psychology is fun.

Also it could be a great goal when meeting somebody: find out their type ASAP.

My type is ESTP, what about you guys? How useful do you think this is?

You can learn your main sticking points and how to improve a little easier if you look at the weaknesses of your type.

A Piracetam call to arms

4 months ago I made a post (http://redd.it/m1ga0) about a nootropic ("smart drug"), Piracetam, for social use. I still take it on occasion. I often skip it on days when I expect to be a bit antisocial because of work piling up.

I've had several PMs and messages from some people who have had pronounced and positive effects. One such review was:

I'd simply like to let you know that I'm grateful for your post about piracetam about 4 months ago.  Based upon your review of it I decided to try it myself. The supplement/drug affects me in a very similar way. I've noticed a great increase in confidence, eye contact,  posture and most of all, verbal ability. I don't plan on taking it every day, instead from now on I plan to take it when I know I will  be in tight social situations. Thanks for posting your experiences with the  substance; it sure helped me. Thanks.

Did anybody else try piracetam? What were your thoughts?

I have had issues with mixing it with too much caffeine (2 cups of coffee or more) - sometimes I have had anxiety (very unpleasant) and other times I become horny and very confident and start hitting on people when I probably shouldn't...
