Cell Phones

[shurgs]

After reading the game, I noticed they made very little reference to the use of cell phones. Are PUAs not supposed to use cell phones in the field?

Also after number closing, I find girls want to text more than talk... I read Miths post on texting looking for answers, but they werent there...What was funny though was BigBs response below is so true. Not 15 minutes after reading that did I get an HB8 text me and say "what are you doing". I shook my head....

BIGB1) Stop the texting. For two reasons. The first, is that it is to hard to say anything worth while in a text, its always stuff like, "what did you do today" "hows it going". What it takes to say in a whole day of texting can be said in about 2 mins. in person. The second reason, is that if you don't have a text message plan you are gona kill it on the bill.

IS this a comfort thing for women, or am I doing something wrong for them to want to text instead of calling...


Another problem with texting is if they arent in the same mobile service plan as you then the one-three word texts message can add up to some serious $$$ fast.

Any help is appreciated.

your right, there is little references to mobile phones in the game. i remembering reading somewhere styles prefers writing phone numbers down on a business card which he pulls out of his bag/ pocket.
he rips it in half and hands it to the women to write it down.
if done right, you continue th econversation while she writes it down number down, almost subconciously.
then, dont leave straight away - stay and talk for another 2-3 minutes at least. this shows that you werent just after a number close, but you were genuinely interested in her and what she was about.

It is claimed that if you have someone else business cards to use, it shows higher value.

(i think i read this all part of the stylelife challenge)

now, i dont carry around any business cards, and here in OZ, there is no problems with handing a phone over.

I've actually never considered doing something like that, but it appears to be a rather fluid form of number exchange. Future topic of another post... Hmmmm... Good ideas brewing every second.

I hate texting all it seems that HB use it for is to check up on you or to give you a shit test that they usually wouldn't do normally in person.

Does anyone have a method of making them stop texting?

You forgot to add that then he asks for them to draw a picture for him to remember them by.

Ignore the text and don't reply.

Make it obvious that you only talk on the phone, not text. After a few times of you just ignoring her text and speaking to her via phone call or in person later, she will get the hint and stop sending them.

[shurgs]

Good, Im glad to see I was not the only having text message issues... meth ill try it out, and i guess if they dont call... just move on to the next HB....

I turned off my Text messaging. Anything someone types with their thumbs isn't important.

It's partly a fear of talking.

People text so that they have more time to formulate more precise, clearer answers.

However, the major side effect is that emotion cannot be conveyed easily, and sometimes messages in text form are misinterpreted.

Honestly, it depends on your preference. I like to speak on the phone and text on occasion, sort of balancing it out.

Yet in the end, it would be better to talk directly.

Although older women might not be THAT big on texting, for HS and college girls, texting is life. They wont even answer you if you dont text. (Welcome to reality).

Your preference.

Are you serious? Damnit. Stupid teenagers and their stupid thumbtyping. Hmm... anyone think of any way around this?

I like texting for a few things... but it can get overdone.

Sometimes I will text and address and a time to a girl, and just go there... if she shows up, compliance test passed... if not, sarge the room.

Dude, that book is a number of years old now, and cellphones have really started picking up in society now, practically EVERYONE owns one!

So that's why it wasn't referenced that much.

[Ian Smith]

I can't say it any clearer than this...for those of you who have never seen the show "The Boondocks" and are easily offended, too bad watch this anyway.

AHAHAHAHAHA great fucking video. Was that really aired on CN and that was Samuel Jackson right?

[Ian Smith]

Yeah, that show aired for one season on Cartoon Network. Got shut down because the racist humor was too edgy for some people, they are still trying to get going for season 2, but there is a lot of opposition to it. Quality cartoon.

Yeah, thats Samuel L. Jackson, he was in quite a few episodes.

[Trivial]

LOL thats tight. Cant believe that aired though. Samuel L Jackson is one funny mfer.

[EvoJ]

Just for you Meth.
