I think it's time to do a thread of different kinds of sexy dude
1. the intellectual/philosopher type

get yourself a turtleneck or otherwise dress preppy

make a lot of prayer hands when thinking, like you're about to drop a rap album

smouldering intense gaze

poast bookshelf ImageImageImageImage
2. the guitar guy

if you have at least one cool action shot you can count on that one and then be derpy/silly with the rest, conveys that you don't take yourself too seriously

you could also write lyrics, wear hats, generally license to be "a creative soul", bard archetype ImageImageImage
some nuance here – you don't necessarily have to be entirely in any one archetype, you can sort of mix things up. you can be a musician who's goofy, or you can be a musician who's solemn. or a bad boy. whatever! you get to choose!!! embellish whatever is your actual personality ImageImage
3. the fit guy

there's many different types of fit guy you could be

should you choose a whole style of fitness just because of the desired vibes and associations? well a lot of ppl do this subconsciously to begin with

just sth to think about

see this is fun, life is an RPG ImageImageImageImage
4. the chef

c'mon

who doesn't want to date a chef

I'd date a chef

feed me sir

even if you look weird fuck it i'll try it if the food has a shot of being great ImageImageImage
i'm being sloppy with different classes of categories here but fuck it this is twitter you're not my boss I can do whatever I like

5. bad boy

the cliche exists because it works

not on everyone, but for the ladies who want one... ImageImage
ok i'm tired, taking submissions, what did I miss
I used to be the guitar guy, these days I'm like the jewelry/aesthetics/business owner/public speaker guy ImageImageImage

one thing about the japanese, they will develop a special interest in something and then do it better than you

there are several interesting things to be said about the mass Ghibli event

First thing is that people don’t often know in advance what they’d want out of a tool until they see it for themselves. “generate any image you can think of!” draws a blank for lot of people
so lesson in there for anybody making things; customers/users need more guidance than you might think.

Second thing is I think this is an ongoing preference cascade and consensus cascade, at least some of the people who are adamantly anti-AI concede this is a cute/fun use case
for a lot of people this is the first time they’re like “ok fine I want one for myself and heck the whole timeline is doing it so what’s so wrong if I do it too”

I think this is probably a good thing. I think it gets more ppl interested in art and visuals etc

i haven't really bothered to make a deliberate effort to grow my twitter following or to write bangers etc in years, but i still have a clear sense of how to do it and i've advised other people who wanted to do the same, and witnessed them succeed. here are a couple of thoughts
one of the most important things you have to remember, especially if you're still a small account starting out and trying to get more attention, is that people aren't reading your tweets in isolation. your tweets are showing up as a 'beat' on a timeline
so if your tweet is something that's moderately unclear or confusing, or has too many details, or the sentiment is too complex, people's likeliest response is to scroll past it

this changes once people know you, care about you, believe that it's worth the effort to decipher you

there’s a thing I often wish I could explain to people… but hilariously, it fits the same pattern I’m trying to explain:

a lot of the most interesting, valuable things you can do are things that have very small windows of opportunity Image
so in the case of matchmaking, a beginner matchmaker might think it’s a matter of finding the best possible people (according to some set of metrics) for the best possible people.

but the expert matchmaker will tell you that actually timing and seasonality etc matter more
in something like football you might think that the player with the most stamina, best striking ability, etc is the strongest

but the guy that scores the most goals is typically the guy who is most sensitive to the situation. Messi famously just walks around the pitch Observing Image

one of the oldest stories we have on record is from 1850BC Egypt called "The Eloquent Peasant". It's fairly short yet interestingly complex. i'll try and retell it as quickly and entertainingly as i can

we begin with our boi Khun-Anup, a poor peasant just tryna sell his wares... Image
to get to the market he has to pass thru land that's owned by nobles. ultimately i believe the land is owned by the pharaoh, but it's administrated by the high steward Rensi, who in turn lets it be run by the local goon Nemtynakht... a ~4000yo matryoshka of bureaucracy Image
so anyway. the local goon Nemtynakht is a corrupt mf and decides to rob our boi Khun-Anup. he lays out a cloth across the narrow path, which is in between a river and the goon's private fields of barley.

Khun-Anup is like, pls sir, I can't move, I don't wanna trample your cloth
