Example: better to lose on a high than a small win that's not even real.

Like send the real invite: Come with me to _____ next weekend and get ghosted

rather than sending How was your day or some weak ass shyt, and get a weak response.

why does my boy always text pleasure to meet you - lol - and never an invite. Psychologically it's your ego trying to protect you from rejection.

it's very normal very human, but it will hold you back.

When you see everything as a response, life is easier.

She didn't text you back and you want to double text? She already responded breh, the answer was no.

It’s not that they don’t text back, I don’t worry about those anyway. It’s the ones that text back 2-5 days later

Texting/talking helps establish if there’s chemistry before I even think about meeting up.
U can’t build chemistry over texting
Now phone call is different

Texting back and forth to someone u haven’t met is a waste of time and will always lead to someone flaking

If it's long enough reply back "who this??".

When she tells you who it is (of course you really know who it is) just reply back "oh my bad, I deleted your number after you didn't respond. I thought you wasn't interested anymore".

This puts in her head that you're not thirsty and will remove her from your world in a heartbeat.

But legit having other chicks on the roster cures all of this. It makes you truly not care if she texts back or not.

This happens to me too, and with people I know. Usually it's a way of maintaining that connection, while signaling they aren't that interested at that time. It's also a power play. Which is of course, retarded, but that's how people think.

but for me, from a practical standpoint, I am always like why even bother getting back to me now? To me, that shows some effort. Example: you send someone like a article or post about a Ramen place, that you both go to, and they send you a LOVE emoji at 6:33 AM 5 days later.

BUT what a lot of women do it spend like an hour going through all the texts and notifications they missed, and sending some generic response.

obviously this is pretty fascinating to me, but what I do think is clear is the idea that "we" were all sold texting as this brilliant communication to use for everything! all the time! and 15 years in, we are all more confused than ever.

women have these same convos.

Women be having situations going on, yall sounding entitled. If she not hitting you back then she got some shyt going on. Either she just ignoring your shyt or she got a nikka. Either way, it really shouldn’t matter. If you got enough motion you not gonna be tripping on a chick not hitting you back or disappearing for a few days.

And then, nikkas high key be scared to put a full court press on a bytch. If you like her put some pressure on her if you think she playing. Just tell a bytch straight up, you gon have to cut all them other nikkas off. If a bytch fukking with you telling her some shyt like that will have her fukked up. But just cause she fukking with you don’t mean she ain’t already got a situation. If you like her like that put that pressure on her ass. If not, then these hoes will text back when they text back.
These hoes ain’t got nothing going on. They all glued to their phones like most ppl

This.
If you get some bullshyt response to your text like xyz.... "hbu?" or "wbu?" or "lol" a few days later or in morning, chances are she has lukewarm interest and is texting 50 other guys.

if you send something that doesn't even require much of a response, that's cool. you can always hit them back. But, if you just text mindlessly back and forth you will always be in that grey zone. You have to text like a grown man, even when it doesn't work. Ironically, it takes much more effort to dig through a pile of notifications and find my text, then to simply send that same response in the same 30 minute period which I sent it.

some women are going to expect you to text them all day or all week, until they are ready to respond, and then like each others posts on instagram, it's the 2020's version of texting back and forth. and then you finally meet up. maybe.

Right, once you see them in person, they will usually tell you why they benched you/didn't respond, once someone said:
"yeah I had to block you I got engaged". I was like but I never even called you lol -

Often "ghosting" is someone just saying "not right now", without actually saying I am fukking with someone else, and it's kinda serious, because its not "official" yet, or because she isn't sure, it leaves plausible deniability, even if both her and I know what's up

but what I tell my boys is stop all that cutsey texting, and have an invite. Let's go here. Let's hit this place. You will get your answer a lot faster, then going back and forth about nothing, and worrying why she didn't respond to your "goodnight" text, all that is chump shyt honestly.

This is all facts. I think a lot of the frustration I see on this board with women is a lot of posters just don’t understand or accept how women move. Like if a chick is talking to you everyday and then dosent respond for 3 or 4 days, she clearly has a situation going on. And we as men naturally feel like, well why don’t you just say so? But women don’t really feel obligated to tell us, so you just gotta read the actions. If she actually like you like that, a lot of times they simply trying to weigh they options or decide that nikka they with or you. That’s just the game. If you got enough motion you not tripping on no shyt like that
