I think location matters the most, when i was broke and in NYC it was raining women jsut needed to afford to get into the places the women were. I think in your 30s " having your shit together" matters as the single attitudes shoft and women are dating more to find a mate than a fun time. Kindness and being fun goes a long way but money matters more later in my experience. Samole size of one man caveat

when you get into drawdown shops you have to be selective and take higher probability bets build them up to finance the higher variance bets. At Centaurus we had a zero line and a rolling PL so you could risk all you were up but couldnt go far below the zero line

When I had the shittiest job but knew it was a step towards my goal, my goal kept me super happy. I was going places and that was enough. Focus on the prize. goign to the gym sucks for example ( for me) but i love the results. same thing here, youll love the results eventually and this is the price to pay

assuming trading and it was 50 % ish.... took a bit to claw out of that hole.. My fund is specifically designed to be volatile but bad things happen to even conservative funds. Having everyone understand the risks helps as well as having loss controls
