Fortunately most women aren't like this. It's still disappointing that a popular show can be so viciously anti-intellectual.
In my experience, women are interested in hearing about the guy's passions, not less so if that passion is building a transformative startup.
- Shenglong 15y agoIn my experience, women are interested in hearing about the guy's passions, not less so if that passion is building a transformative startup. I don't think it's fair to make that assumption. Passions are awesome, but they'll lose interest if you start describing the intricate details. That's not only true about women, but most people in general. The trick is in how you describe, and not what you're describing. One remarkable girl had me asking questions for half an hour about shoes, for example. I hate shoes.
- hajrice 15y agoAgain, it's not about what you talk about RATHER how you talk about it. You're still boring. The idea behind speaking about your passions is to tell it via a story and also create an emotional connection with the women as you're doing it.

- markbao 15y agoNot only is it dangerously anti-intellectual, it also has some terrible flirting advice. Telling her that she looks gorgeous? Really?

- rdl 15y agoI think I'd rather not be successful at picking up someone who doesn't care about my passions. They don't necessarily have to have the same interests, but if they're completely uninterested and uninterested in you, it's probably not going to go well. (fortunately my girlfriend has gone from a being a biotech tech worker at a big pharma company to constantly asking about how to start a startup...)
