Unusual Skills: Dancing Salsa, finding the best places to eat, and baking your favorite pastries
My dude, you took everything that was good about my suggestions and shat all over it.
The point is to be interesting, to “show, don’t tell”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show,_don't_tell
Don’t say “dancing salsa”, say “wear out salsa shoes too fast” or something.
“May own more pairs of shoes than you on account of my salsa addiction”
“Finding the best places to eat” versus “knows the best place for X” (DHV, also more emotive and is a curiosity trigger, girls will ask you where that place is)
“Baking your fav pastries” — firstly, this is food again so now you’re leaning heavier into being a foodie. Be mindful. Can be a valid strategy just be mindful that you’re doing that. But again, “your fav pastries” — you’re positioning yourself as the nice guy baking her pastries while she bangs your roommate. Name your signature pastry you can make. That’s much more interesting.
The drunk thing is just an idea, you can tweak it. And it really doesn’t matter, it’s just a hint as to what your hobbies are. It’s fine if you don’t actually dance salsa when drunk. This is just an interesting way to introduce that you do salsa, without just saying the word salsa.
Don’t be logical about it, be emotional.
It’s not even about the prompt, it’s just inspiration and a nice package.
I have changed unusual skills to Strengths because I wanted to add a funny/sexual “Weaknesses” section (e.g. of a weakness: short skirts).
What matters is crafting that story.
You don’t SAY you go to the gym, you have a gym picture SHOWING that. Likewise, you don’t say you go to the gym… you say something like “Lift heavy things and put them down” though this is overused.
