Recommend books, websites, specific tips, whatever.
I mean mostly self-improvement in regards to social things, not looksmaxxing. I know 99% is copium overload, people like others because of their looks, not because of how they treat them, but there are small things that can make everyday conversations or even surface-level acquaintanceships a little smoother.
Here are two things I noted/discovered.

- People like to feel useful, even if it's pointless and bothersome. My assumption would be that it's rude to ask very simple questions, but people like being asked questions, even if they already talked about that or it's obvious or irrelevant. During scientific conferences people often ask such stupid irrelevant questions or just ask about things that were explained in the lecture, but it's in good taste to do that. In fact, you shouldn't ask actual questions, like difficult ones, that could make the lecturer uncomfortable or seem ignorant about a subject, but rather you're supposed to ask stupid non-questions. It's not about actual inquiry, but rather about signaling you enjoy listening to someone talk. In the same vein, it's not good to be too decisive. I always make research online and come to stores asking for specific products, but I found people are much much nicer if you start playing the game of "what would you recommend" even if it's a waste of time.
- People like to be remembered. I don't pay attention to random factoids from my life or stuff like birthdays or anything, but people do. It's in good taste to reference previous conversations or information people shared with you. I heard about people making Anki flashcards to remember random information about their friends and later reference it in conversations.
