Truly sorry to hear this. He had the best life with you

Good advice . I guess sometimes if its the first time it can also be shyness, but in your example I don't think so. Should work for dates as well

Jackie’s Kennedi glasses aka dragonfly doesn’t suits men if they are Men of course.

Couldn't agree with you more Scooby. All words of wisdom and thanks for sharing.

I love this Scooby. Someone told me once it’s arguably more important to be an interested person as opposed to interesting, and that stuck with me!

I feel you scooby on the struggle w/food, was trying to get my pets weight up for over a year due to cancer and every morning had to roll out the red carpet and fix her the buffet, it was worth all the effort though for the time it gave us.

Oh if only you made this video earlier so that teen me could see it lol I am ashamed to say I was the bad friend that talked about myself a lot. Thankfully I turned that around and not only ask to be polite but because I am genuinely interested in learning about other people's stories.

love it

What is the question?

One of your most hilarious videos hands down. And the sassy glasses omg, it's just perfect. Honestly I feel so socially inept compared to you Scooby that I'd really appreciate a whole playlist full of videos like this 😅

Scooby is like best friend you might never meet.

<joke>so you are saying crossfit 10 times a week is not good? </joke> ;)

Thanks for providing the backstory for the video, very interesting 😊 take care, Scooby!

Scooby, this is depressingly accurate. I hate it, and thank you.

Scooby, do you think people with kids make terrible friends for single people?

Absolutely. Should be intuitive though. It's so exhausting talking with someone who just keeps talking and has zero interest in what you have to say.

You're the best scooby. Been following you for a decade

Great video. If those anti-vaxxers were right, people who get a handful of vaccines at their annual physical would get tons of clots and die. Vaccination saved millions of lives in the 20th century so how did people end up so ignorant about how they work?

Fool. How many dicks you suck to get this USED watch

Scooby just quit and retire already and delete youtube. You're old and insignificant. You can't even work out anymore. All you do is TRX and push ups... you look like crap. Go enjoy a salmon dinner. You are beyond the youtube fitness world. HANG IT UP.

Great points just recently internalized; I hope young people see this video and consider how powerful this simple test is across many stages of life. And the potential confusion and hurt practicing it will save in 9/10 cases.

True ! But we can all be better friends

Awesome video , thanks ❤

I'll have nothing to do with anyone who uses term 'fabulous'.

I'm sorry about the diagnosis, but appreciate your wholesome, forward-facing spirit.

Hey Scooby, appreciate you. Just a question, I wanted to recommend you to my little brothers (they're the age I was when I found you ten years ago); I noticed when I link your channel, it shows the 'gray and fit' description of this channel as a channel for fitness over 50. Is that still your target audience? Just curious.

It’s a great video, and I agree with your point, but some of us are sigmas and omegas and we simply aren’t interested in getting to know others or having others know about us. We prefer our own company. We may or may not have some close friends in our life but overall we’ll take solitude over strangers any day.

This is so simple yet explains so damn much about the mistakes I have made in the past. Thanks as always for the brilliant advice Scoob!

Happens all the time during networking, very frustrating but I guess i'll never do business with them!

I kind of have the same barometer now. If someone ends up constantly changing the topic back to themselves with transitions like "...well I have.." or "..well I went to"... where the topic is just turned on a dime back to the other person's selfish topic, and it's a struggle to get any actual comments in or questions...the other person is just looking for another human to listen to what they have to say. And I try to avoid that person in the future. The Q factor sort of derived from Dale Carnegie How to Win Friends.... where you are really supposed to express interest in the other person's interest and minimize talking about yourself. It's good to get that message across to high schoolers and college kids though rather than waiting to figure it out.

I realized this a long time ago, people just enjoy talking about themselves, they barely hear what you are saying and don't remember what you said even after 10 minutes. On the phone it's even worse, sometimes I've realized the talking ratio was something around 95:5 or even worse. I'n almost 50 and I can say without any shadow of doubt that I don't have any 'real friend' in my life, only a bunch of people who enjoy spending time with me just to avoid being alone. And sadly in romantic relationships it's been about the same.

Mental tally? How about writing it down on a paper in front of them if one has a bad memory? It would be easier and more accurate.

Card counting for humans!

Scooby is fighting against Q anon shaman: confirmed 😂

I could have used this advice 10 years ago. 😅

Safest is to not have friends.

I definitely agree with the reciprocity, but I feel like there is another dimension with friends: being able to be quiet around one another without feeling uneasiness or tension. I feel like some people can take this Q ratio and extend it illogically to mean "These 3 hours we have together have to be 100% filled with talking evenly amongst ourselves." It is very annoying when people don't allow room to breathe, eat, exercise, or work on a project to then have the audacity to come out with the "Well, isn't this awkward." No, it wasn't until that was stated and what a way to make a person or a group of people uncomfortable. It could be really comfy just hanging out with someone at a park, on a bench, at a beach just existing, but some people need to fill the air with words (and I don't mean the thoughtful 50/50 reciprocity type of conversations that are beautiful).

Harder to make friends as you get older.

Thanks for the advice Scooby. I think the lifestyle change is actually harder than the working out hard. But, I notice when I make the change, like smaller portions for example, weight sort of automatically comes off.

I only have one best friend of 24yrs and he just told me he is moving away.😢

If you dont have a Rolex, then I cant be your friend. | How much is your wach? ---> Oh its just a $70 G-Shock. | Um yeah we cant hang out...

Once again Scooby proving he would have been one of two awesome dads if he decided to adopt

"... a person who yells out his own name during sex..." haha I love that scooby. It kind of sums it all up in a perfect way lol. Great video with a very good message and advice!! Thanks!

I needed this SO BADLY today. Scooby, I’m a longtime fan (like since ‘09 I want to say) and I love that every video you make isn’t simply “content,” it’s value.

In your example, recognize that this is how this person treats YOU. People are interested, when they sense someone has similar values, or something that interests them. The average 25 YO woman would not ask many questions to get to know the average homeless male age 50, but she would be THRILLED to get to know 27 YO Leo Dicaprio. People treat you well, when they have a use for you in their life. And they dont care about you, if they don't have a use for you. If I met Scooby in real life, then I would ask lots of questions about what interests him these days, because I have similar values.

Thanks, Scoob. You've been providing me insightful and useful advice for over a decade. I really appreciate it. You posted this at a good time for me as I'm trying to expand my friend group. I meet a lot of self-obsessed people through my career and find I need skills to filter them out. That can be tough because they're genuinely interesting and impressive people. I used to think that was enough for a good friend!

Awesome advice Scooby, will be using the Q ratio in future! Thanks

"This is the kind of person who yells out their own name during sex." LOL! That's gotta be up there in all time greatest Scoobyisms.

This applies even more for first dates

I suck at asking questions, but I tend to ask the reciprocal ones out of awkwardness. "Oh crap, I've been talking about d&d for 10 minutes straight, I should ask them if they have any hobbies too"
