Assuming there are both women and men around you that you could be annoying, its worth thinking about why these little assertions of dominance only target a certain group.
You could experiment with intentionally annoying men… And dont just pick men who are somehow subordinate to you.
there was an interesting thread here in the past couple months about the gambling aspect of temu et al. I can’t find the link. IIRC the OP was about baby boomer parents being extremely susceptible to scams and tricks the apps play. But then people were talking about how they had gotten sucked in. Maybe someone else can dig up the link.
Obviously if something is price at 0.01% of expected, the difference cannot be account for by poor quality. Assuming it’s not somehow a trick to get you to spend more money in another way immediately, it’s a loss leader because they think in the long run they’ll get you.
I can’t tell you the details, but I can tell you one way or another it’s a trick.
