I’ve been on the most tinder dates and I can confirm with my greatest confidence that this beautiful method works tippytoppy

Fake: anon gets frequent tinder dates? Doubt.
Gay: while on said dates he’s thinking about another man… also like the worst man to think of for both for the object of attraction and for the confidence trick.
Talking like Cave Johnson would be a much better option all around. Then you’re not drooling over or mimicking a pedophile AND you can make vaguely ominous jokes about science, so it’s clearly the better choice

Added bonus, you might win over a Caroline.

I wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of mimicking his voice. Is it part of the act?

You have to make the accompanying hand gestures, which I can only describe as kinetically emphasized whining.
The more he wants to whine about something he detests, the more he uses his little hands to make little motions, like they’re an exclamation point for how annoyed he is.
This is opposed to say, emphasis for dramatic effect, to convey conviction, seriousness, or something like that.

I’ve been doing it my whole life. I chose not to use this power for evil, unlike some others I could mention. Because it’s a choice not to be a giant douche canoe just because you can.

I might sometimes do something like this myself, but I like to think I sound a bit less retarded and also I do it only when the other person has been overly annoying. Like bullshitting me first or asking me random questions in a meeting where I don’t belong or when I was clearly not caring and not paying attention before.

I mean, this… isn’t surprising at all?
Blustering around confidently exploits how … duller human brains interpret factuality.
Moneky brain see confidence?
Monkey brain know they must be correct!
This is the basis of … well, con artists, you know, confidence artists, a whole lot of PUA type shit, uh, a whole lot of politics, a whole lot of marketing…, many debate and negotiation tactics/styles…
Being a bullshitter is a common thing because bullshitting is broadly very effective.

Confidence is a huge deal and very important. Now just talk like a confident you, not like Donald Trump.

So you look at talking. What a joke. Does anyone actually think he knows what he’s talking about? Tactility? Really? Weak language. My keyboard is has ten times more lights than his, and when I press a button it knows I mean it. Tactility isn’t a factor. It’s rough, gruff, able to take the pressure of a real man’s hands.
Oh, and did you notice how he said loudest? I did. All these vocal minorities, with their purple hair and face tattoos. They don’t care about America, they don’t care about our traditions or our values. All they want is a handout.
I feel really dirty….

Same, but because it’s still too much Trump.
My keyboard is great, I love it. it’s loud, but also a joy to type on. I built it my self, which makes me live it even more - it’s not so difficult. Look at the lights! Here try typing on it, isn‘t the tactility great?
