A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Matthew Kelly in which the speaker argues that dating while heavily involved in e-commerce (ECOM) is possible and important. The speaker stresses that social skills and "game" matter, that hustling and real-life social interactions complement business success, and warns that isolating oneself in front of a screen harms personal life.
Do you think it's possible to date while being in the trenches as an ECOM founder? Yes. If you have no game, you will get no girls. I mean, I was always in the trenches and shit, but I was always fucking meeting nice girls at the same time, like, all the time when I was scaling. So I think if you can't do that, then what the fuck are you doing with your life? I also think, like, basic social skills and, like, skills with women and stuff, especially when you're younger, like, hustling is fucking important. And a lot of that, like, carries over into business. And I think if you are staring at your screen all day, but you can never meet a girl in real life, even if you're busy, then that's not going to end very well. So, yeah, you definitely can.
