I was always told, ‘God gave you two ears, and one mouth, for a reason’.

that's an easy rule to remember... but how do you remember this in the moment? what's your rule for sharing but not oversharing. how bad would it have been if she thought she was outperforming me by 30% and i was in an asset that she probably thinks is a scam from the hated Mr. T. ? or what if i had shared that info, and then she paid for my meal because she felt so bad for me... what then, Ryan? as it was I paid for the restaurant, and i had a leftover Schnitzel. I told her I can't store this in my hotel, can we give to someone. and she proceeded to take me around the train station looking for beggars to give the schnitzel to. she said she usually does this with butter pretzels... we found a man digging for bottles in a trashcan. she told him we just had dinner and had a left over schnitzel. he was the most grateful beggar i have ever seen--kinda worrying for me about Munich economy--but i was totally impressed by her command of the situation. it's crazy when you've known someone for 12 years and the person they are now is fully of funny surprises to the upside.

Well, I suspect I am at least a few years (or decades) older than you. Time and practice are the main ways to build good habits so that they become ingrained and second nature. I used to hate when old guys told me that, lol, but it is true.

dude the schnitzel wandering > any portfolio flex would’ve been. she already out-altruised every hedge fund alpha daddy in the room. reserve your bags-chat for like… date three. until then just ask what corner of the planet her butter-pretzel karma tour hits next.

ok Viktor, im keeping you on speed dial when i need advice to turn up the seduction and turn down the nerdiness. to be fair the investment question came up as we were passing a display of printing presses in the Deutsches Museum which led to computers thoughout the years, and I offhandedly asked what she thought of NVIDIA.

nvidia as an opener? dangerous waters chief 🤣 next time just point at an old programmable loom and ask “which of these patterns would make the best curtain for your flat” — boom, playful pivot, zero fudd. you’re good. the schnitzel gig proved congruence beats fundamentals every day.

lol ok. will have to look up what is congruence. live and learn. so many knowledgeable peeps on this network, viktor.

i mean: i like getting advice from anyone. but i generally have more ego problem with younger.

i forgot to mention i'm a mint-mobile customer. what's your story, Ryan? single, married, looking for love?
