Dating in Brentwood: Coffee Before Commitment

Brentwood runs on early mornings and good coffee. So does this pitch.

Are you a single female between the ages of 28 and 48 living in or near Brentwood?

Are you building your own brand(s)? Then we probably have something in common! Check out this intro recording and video from me and then read on if you find this interesting.

I apologize in advance for any uncomfortable, politically incorrect questions. A good friend of mine is giving me on the spot prompts on live video and he tends to be a bit blunt with his questions.

Anyways... Maybe, just maybe, you should skip the AI prompts, not use JDate or Christian Mingle, and instead just see if you are a match with an honest-to-goodness copywriter.

Hi, I'm Jesse Gilbert.

You can see current pictures of me below in the gallery along with a picture from when I was young and handsome. Oh, it's rough getting older — I'm 49, born in April of '77. But as you can see evidence of, I'm still a believer in love (or at least lust) and I spend my days studying persuasion and implementing it across my digital-based brands.

Mimicking My Mentors

I know this is an unconventional way to meet, but I'm not the first to try and bypass dating services and find the one(s). The famous copywriter Gary Halbert put ads in newspapers and had some success, so why can't I do it online with my techie skills? I'm as good a copywriter as he ever was (thanks in no small part to AI assistance) and I'm a branding, design and SEO specialist to boot.

I just like to control how I'm viewed online as much as possible, and I find it easier to put myself in the best light on a webpage that I can update rather than fumbling through an app I have to pay for or get verified for.

A First-Date Plan for Brentwood

  1. 1.Early coffee on San Vicente, because Brentwood runs on mornings.
  2. 2.A wander through the Brentwood Country Mart.
  3. 3.A trip up to the Getty if the conversation's good — the view earns the extra hour.

An Unorthodox LA Dating Experiment!

Fair warning: I'm running this as a case study in guerrilla dating, and I'll be sharing the strategy and overall results of the experiment online, including on my Substack. This isn't a public tell-all. I will never use anyone's name or share private details.

And you don't have to make a decision now... You can opt-in to my Substack subscriber list and read my words before you jump in and we make a date.

Worst-case scenario, you get some good tips to build your personal brand or even just hire me.

Note to the gentlemen reading this: If you ended up here looking for a date, sorry to disappoint—unless your idea of a romantic evening is auditing conversion funnels and talking web design. If that is your thing, or you want to hire me for SEO and copywriting, head over to my Services Page instead. Let's make some money together instead of breaking hearts.

Quick Facts / Rapid Fire

What's your mom's best dish?

My mom's best dish was lamb stew French style with noodles, boiled carrots, and a mix of vegetables.

What type of girls do you like?

Ironically enough, the only dating success I've really had is with Mongolians — I've dated 2, to be exact. I'm probably the only Jewish guy in history to date 2 Mongolian chicks. What can I say? I like Mongolian fashion and the yurt aesthetic — I aspire to be a cyber nomad and travel light.

What else should you know?

I'm a dual citizen (American-first / Israeli) and I have a new wave Jewish media company / AI video project at Isreel.com.

Hobbies?

I'm also into gaming and want to design my own game like Unicorn Hunters. Hope you don't have too much of an emotional attachment to unicorns — there are so many of them these days.

On my wavelength?

Well, that about wraps it up for the first draft of my dating page. I will probably be OCD about this and update the page constantly. If you're on my wavelength, pick your next move — all four are real, and three of them are about business:

Text me at (213) 219 2807 with a current picture of you and an audio file or video. Your website is optional.

Questions from the group chat

Is this page serious?

It's as serious as any landing page I've ever written — which is to say, the offer is real. Look, not to brag but I know what I'm doing when it comes to SEO. I'm a single ad-man in Santa Monica who's tired of paying for dating apps and can just make it so you find my profile through organic SEO.

This is bizarre.

Everyone has their own opinion. I'm not afraid to try out an unorthodox dating strategy.

How many dates have you gotten this way?
