Landing Jobs and Girls, are the same?

1/6/2026By Reuben Roy

I’ve compared the dating market to the job market often. Can’t score a girl, and can’t score a job. And if you’re using dating apps and online job portals, it’s mostly about getting the recruiters attention.

I thought of women I’ve met with, and they’ve often been through a friend introducing us. Introducing us? No, we should call it a referral! I managed to meet women because I got referrals from friends.

In that sense, you can’t meet women now, because I got no referrals! You don’t have the connects. No connects, no referrals. You need someone to vouch for your skills, morals and values.

But like in life, there are those with crazy skills and presence, that corporate really likes, that can land a job with no referrals, no connections, no outside help required. But if you don’t have that sort of distribution, you’re gonna need a referral to land a girl bro.

I’ve confused you enough by mixing up jobs and referrals enough, time for you to come up with stupid ways to connect them yourself. And make sure you let me know what you come up with.

Soo… if you’re feeling generous, I’d like your referrals. If not to your hot friends, that’s okay, job referrals are good too.
