Would you look up for, you know, give me your number, whatever it might be that if I think it's, it's very closely related to the primacy effect, but it just, it just kind of goes by a slightly different name in this context, or I'm, I'm putting it into a slightly different, different box here, but the two are very closely tied together.

Absolutely right.

Absolutely right.

Absolutely right.

And just to add on that a little bit, because I have this research background and I like to read journal articles, there's an interesting study that was done by a French research team looking at exactly this. How much more effective are we when we start with this small favor first approach?

So what the professors did is they sent a team of about 300 undergraduates out into the field, so to speak, you know, a crowded area. And they tasked them with asking people on a date, just again, like to your point, to use your language, like a very direct approach. Yeah. And they recorded first, like, you know, men approaching women and then also like women approaching men. Yeah.

what were the efficacy rates around that and like a lot of these research studies it was like a strictly heterosexual population and like there's a lot more research that like fortunately like coming through on like the LGBTQ community but it's still it's still like fairly sparse and so this one looked kind of like strictly at that and one of the things that was interesting is they found

When you started with, and this is France, so like every second person there smokes. So they started, you know, hey, can I get a light? Or other people would start if, you know, can I get directions? You know, where's the Eiffel Tower? Wherever they were in France. And there was a 5x success rate for the men who started with the small favor first approach. So they're like, where are directions?

And then like, hey, would you be interested in going out? Versus just the direct, you know, I saw you, I thought you're cute. Would you want to go out? Yeah.

And to me, when I read that, it reinforced, I think, what we intuitively know and like what you kind of in your work with like all of your clients and all the people you've helped under like inherently understand like, yeah, it's disarming and you just kind of sense that it's better. And it's fun to be able to tie the research to it and say, wow, five times better. as effective.
