In this week’s episode, we talk about the social media platform TikTok.  I am testing TikTok to see if there are any free marketing opportunities there for me that might help me move my stuff for sale, and I while I was checking out everything I started to wonder if TikTok might be useful for you guys.  So today I want to take you through what I found out about TikTok, and run through what I feel are some of its good and bad points, relevant to our topic of flirting and meeting with and connecting with great ladies out there.

Today we are going to look into the subject of the ethics of flirting and dating.  What sort of things are good or not so good when it comes to meeting women: your intentions, how you act, the decisions you have to make along the way, your treatment of women, and generally how you think about the whole subject.  We’ll do this by talking about some specific, real-world examples of issues you are likely to encounter as you navigate that world.  I talk about some real issues here, including dating more than one woman at a time, and when is it ever okay to cheat.

In meeting women, how can you be bold, yet respectful, non-threatening, cool, and fun— all at the same time? In this episode, we will take another look back at flirting history during a specific timeframe the late 1800s through around 1930 when flirting or acquaintance cards were in use. I think there are things we can learn from that very different time - both good and bad - toward our goal.   Link to Mr Alan Mays’ wonderful and interesting collection of acquaintance and flirting cards on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aemays/sets/72157626967453736/   Background: Book's website: Gentlemen's Guide to Flirting (due for release on Amazon.com in January 2021 - https://gentlemensguidetoflirting.com/   Consider the book your complete textbook.

For the past few weeks I, your exalted leader, alongside some other leading scholars and top scientists in the flirting world have been in the GGTF Research laboratory creating the definitive guide to the history of flirting. Many snacks were consumed in this pursuit, several naps were taken, and - I sadly report - some lives were lost. But I am here to report that we are done, and are presenting our findings in this: Episode 009 of the Gentlemen's Guide to Flirting - The History of Flirting!

I very intentionally don’t normally discuss topical or news items in this podcast, but in rare cases when I feel I have insights from a particular event that might be useful for you, I’ll speak up.  Today is one of those days.  As of when I am recording this, February 5th, 2022, popular podcaster and celebrity Joe Rogan got into a great deal of trouble, rightfully, over comments that he made in the past.  I have a few thoughts I want to share about this, not to pile on Joe Rogan, but to learn from his mistakes.

We are two years in to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s time for another morale boost.   In my own life, I continue to see people cracking under this continued stress and pressure.  Cracking under pressure, that isn’t us.   Yielding or compromising on our standards and principles, that isn’t us.  We find a way to thrive in all conditions.  But, again, it doesn’t hurt for us to huddle up from time to time to remind ourselves of that.
