The Knicks just won their first championship in 53 years. An investing article said there were lessons investors could learn from their title run. Ironically, they apply to dating too...
1. The hottest draft pick doesn't always win.
The guy with the best photos, tallest profile, or flashiest job title isn't guaranteed the best relationship, or even the best date.
Potential gets attention. Consistency usually wins.
2. Don't overconcentrate your portfolio.
Some men have a type. Then they date that type again and again. And then wonder why they keep getting the same results.
If every woman you pursue is essentially the same person with a different name, it might be time to diversify.
3. Play the whole game.
The Knicks came back from double-digit deficits throughout the playoffs.
Meanwhile, many men go on three mediocre first dates and conclude there are "no good women left."
Three dates isn't a trend. It's Tuesday.
4. You don't have to fit the stereotype.
Too short. Too old. Too nerdy. Too introverted.
Funny how often those "disadvantages" disappear when someone is genuinely enjoyable to be around.
5. Have patience.
The Knicks waited 53 years.
Some men have one awkward first date and immediately start researching monasteries.
One bad date doesn't mean dating is broken. It just means you had one bad date.
Keep showing up. That's where the wins are.
As the Knicks prepare to celebrate with a ticker-tape parade, we take their hard-fought lessons to the trading floor.
