Your Taste Alpha
When you approach someone you’re interested in, you can’t be sure how she (or he) will react. Maybe she’ll give you a warm smile - or maybe a cold shoulder. It’s usually stressful. And enough so that people today are out of the habit. On the current crop of dating apps, you know even less. That’s why so many men resort to spray and pray swiping, and so many women resort to silly filters to make the excess more manageable (over 6’5” only, please!).
But what if you could know in advance what your prospects were? Then you wouldn’t have to swipe everything, or filter everything, or deal with random rejections over and over. You’d succeed more often because you’d take the right shots. And the whole process would be less stressful too.
“What if.”
Well, let’s have a little think about how we can turn this pleasant “what if” into a reality.
Consider Jane and Joan. They’re standing in different corners of the gallery at a crowded art exhibition. And you only have time to pursue one of them. To your eye they’re about equally pretty. Whom should you pick?
Well, suppose you know in advance that the whole crowd thinks Jane is pretty, while only you think Joan is pretty. That means if you pursue Jane, you’re competing with hundreds of men. You have to beat all of them for her to accept you - and the other boys in the gallery are serious competition (some of them are even taller than you). However, if you hit on Joan, you don’t need to compete with anyone. So your chance of success is hugely higher - while your winnings are exactly the same.
With this amazing advance knowledge, hitting on pretty Joan is… pretty much a no-brainer. And both of you are about to go home happy.
You may have noticed a tiny issue with this example. Back here in reality, you do know what you consider pretty, but you don’t know what the crowd considers pretty. And if you don’t know the difference between your taste and the crowd’s, you have no way to decide whether to hit on Jane or Joan. Thus, in your current unfortunate reality, your night at the art exhibition will probably have an unhappy ending. And all because you’re lacking that one crucial piece of information!
Oops.
What would happen if we could give you that crucial piece of information? In our hypothetical example your chance of going home happy would almost double, and Joan wouldn’t have to waste the rest of her night looking at paintings alone. Of course, it’s true that the crowd won’t swing quite so sharply to one side in reality. But big differences between your tastes and the crowd’s really do exist. Your type isn’t everyone’s type. Even if it feels like it should be.
Well, you’re in luck. Because now you actually can get that crucial information - in about fifteen minutes, and at no cost. The new MyType app identifies how your personal taste differs from the crowd’s, and then uses the results to tell you exactly where you have an edge. I call that edge “relationship alpha.” Just pick your favorite faces, and the app will do the rest.
Your chances of going home happy are about to go way up. Enjoy!
