How to Decide Where to Eat (When Nobody Will Pick)
Every friend group has the same fight: everyone's hungry, nobody will choose. Here's a set of decision rules that end the stalemate — fast.
1. The 5-3-1 rule
One person names 5 options, the second cuts it to 3, the third picks 1. Three people, thirty seconds, zero resentment — everyone shaped the outcome.
2. Veto tokens
Everyone gets exactly one veto per night. Vetoes feel powerful, so people save them — and 90% of picks sail through untouched.
3. Constraints first, options second
Don't ask “where should we eat?” Ask “what's the budget and how far will we go?” Options argue; constraints agree.
