I thought he wanted my youth. In the end, he captured my body by investing in my ambition.
A few years ago, I made a mistake every ambitious young woman might make: I believed my talent alone was enough to make powerful men see me as an equal.
In the 48 hours before my date, I binged every “how to win over a tycoon” video from KOLs on social media. They taught me to talk finance, to casually flash brand logos… I memorized these so-called “killer moves” like I was preparing for a final exam, armed to the teeth.
I thought I needed tricks to enter his world. I later discovered that all those dragon-slaying skills learned from influencers were useless in front of a real dragon.
That night, at Odette in the National Gallery Singapore, he asked a question that made all my preparations instantly obsolete: “Which painting in this museum is your favorite? And why?”
In that moment, all the KOL dogmas in my head screamed: “Talk about art? Will he even get it? You should be talking about the M&A deal he just closed!” But looking into his curious, unadulterated eyes, I suddenly felt that all those techniques were incredibly hypocritical and ridiculous. I made a decision: To hell with the tricks. I was going to talk about what I truly love.
I began to speak passionately about my favorite painting, my eyes shining. He listened quietly, his gaze slowly changing from initial assessment to genuine admiration.
Key Takeaways:
- Abandon “Tricks,” Return to “Sincerity”: Techniques can be mass-produced. Your unique, passionate knowledge and sincerity are the real scarce assets.
- Enjoy the “Buzz,” Offer “Trust”: Wine is a key to unlock deep conversation, not a tool to show off. Giving your partner the choice is a high-level expression of trust.
- Become a “Sanctuary,” Provide “Emotional Value”: When he speaks of his pressures, don’t offer empty platitudes. Share your own struggles and position yourself as an equal, a fellow “warrior” in a different battlefield.
Conclusion
I once thought I needed many techniques to enter that world. I later discovered that sincerity is the only killer move.
Of course, sincerity alone is not enough. You also need a “venue” where your sincerity can be seen and respected. If I had met him at a noisy party, I might never have had the chance to discuss a painting in depth. A platform like Btcsugardating, which precisely screens for you and creates an environment for private dialogue, is that most important “stage” that allows your sincerity to shine.
It saves you from all the noise and pretense of ineffective socializing, allowing you to skip the hypocritical games and speak directly, soul to soul, with someone who understands your value. So, stop believing in “winning scripts.” Polish yourself, go to the right “market,” and find the one willing to invest in your “sincerity.”
