ted (not lasso)

can barely get a cast in during the day (is this what locked in feels like?) so sharing some random late night observations on my mind: - people who have opinions > people who don't have opinions, even if their opinions differ from my own - current trend cycles are exhausting, both in crypto but even more so outside of crypto; gen Z is starting to rebel against micro trends and instead invest in developing and defining their own, more durable personal style. i am HERE for this. - Lena Dunham just launched a Substack, sigh. i was so excited when Pamela Anderson did it, so why does this one bore me? - Sporty and Rich founder Emily Oderg is using OnlyFans (yes!! OF!!) as a marketing channel because she believes that's where lifestyle campaigns (getting flagged on instagram) will live. hmm. - dating shift of online-to-offline; curated matchmaking platforms are in hot demand again. people want to feel something (like really feel) IRL again.

my son is young Gen z (or alpha) and not interested in alcohol at all, not too much into sex either. gaming, skating, and...wait...walking in the forest!

very bullish on "corrections" back to IRL. the technology we have is exciting bc it lets our real life be richer. not more sparse. this is the synthesis.

because lena talks a lot and has nothing to say and then says something incredibly stupid in the absence of having anything to actually talk about

Interesting thoughts. Thanks for the read. I, too, find myself exhausted lately.

the curated matchmaking is soo legit. I’m part of a muslim women book club and after long convos where everyone shared frustrations from using apps and how tough it is to find partners, we got a new group that sprung out from the convos. The point of it being sharing people/men you can vouch for and for those who’re looking for serious partners.

I often tell people who are early in their careers and nervous about speaking up that it's better to be confidently wrong than silent. The world values opinions and forming one of your own that you are able to defend but also modify when needed, is a great skill.

Curated match making platforms are in high demands. Everyone wants to find love. Do people really get to meet the love of their lives in these sites

The dating thing is interesting as that’s the area I’m building in. My bet is that niche-ing down with an interesting way to match will bring the same sort of results that people are looking for with the move to curated matches.
