BIG QUESTIONS: THE HUMAN RACE
Creative Awareness
Bad Dating Advice
Exercise: Imagine you write a dating advice column where you give particularly bad advice, with the intention of sharing tongue-in-cheek tips on what not to do. Your task? To dish out the absolute worst dating advice imaginable to help your audience. Please share a piece of comically bad, outrageously inappropriate, or hilariously impractical advice for the lovelorn.
Why: Sharing intentionally bad advice taps into your ability to think outside the box and play with ideas that defy conventional wisdom. Crafting intentionally bad advice challenges you to invert norms and expectations, stimulating creative thought processes. It also helps in understanding the dynamics of humor construction, perspective-shifting, and the fine line between the absurd and the plausible.
Examples: Bad Dating Advice
Wear a wedding dress/tuxedo on the first date to show you're serious.
Bring your mother along to get her approval right off the bat.
Order for your date to show decisiveness.
