You started out strong with small talk but in the end you came off as less then confident and like your were trying to impress her by verbally social proofing. Social proofing dosnt work verbally. Notice how suddenly her responses became short and clipped around 11:14 PM To a women it comes off as your trying to hard to impress which shows a lack of self confidence and pulls you out of the Alpha catogory. Now around 11:18 she trys to convey this and you then push the subject by being cocky > [@](#): > > 11:26pmNina > > haha yes. ttyl At this point she signs off and says to herself NOT !! Thats what the HAHA was for. Not trying to be harsh but you asked. Oh and before you think, Well your a girl what do you know about PUA. I would have to say probably more then most the men. After all women have been practicing it since the beginning of time. Tisha ---

Once again dj, I’d go with tish on this, if you notice, all the time you were asking about her, you were getting fairly long, detailed answers. As soon as you started ‘hiding’ details about the girl from Taiwan, she noticed that you were dangling the bait and backed right off. Had it been face to face, you would have noticed and bailed out of the set. I get the distinct impression that, up to this point, she was gaming you Online game is a bitch because you are only getting 10% of the communication. Read back through it and imagine it was a club scene, now pick up the point where she crossed her legs away from you and started to tap her foot 😉 You’ll spot it. If you think of PUA as playing the ladies at their own game, you won’t go far wrong. As Tisha said, they’ve been doing if for thousands of years and, as a result, even the likes of Mystery and Gambler (and there’s no doubt how good they are) will always be at some disadvantage. The other thing I noticed is that your attention slipped around 10:43/ 10:44. You asked whether she had done with school, she said that she had and you asked again whether she had done! Most girls I know would have picked up on this and the alarms would have started ringing. ---

It really is true, If you really want to see it observe a 5 year old girl wrap her father around her tiny little finger. We are born to it, its a natural instinct that we have been practicing since birth. My Best friend is male and his grand daughter does it to him all the time. I laugh my ass off. He never noticed till I pointed it out and he is a PUA. She is gonna be a handful when she grows up LOL Tisha ---

And this is why I post, I want insight. Diamond I ment Overall wise not semester wise, which is why is sounds like the same question twice. 1. I do not talk about the sexual of past partners with possible future partners, should I change this rule? 2. As far as the 11:18 bit, I picked up on that too which is why I bailed, but I dragged it out too long. I should have nixed the looking for bit, but I talk to her perhaps once a week for like 15 minutes. 3. I have to admit, she made it quite difficult I should have ended 8 minutes earlier. Thanks for the advice all, Tisha you know how it is. It’s all about improving, this girl is across the country, if I can not practice on that, the ones closer will never meet up LOL. -DJ ---

11:16 is where I thought it all fell apart (her response was ic), after which you essentially carried the convo (she stopped asking questions) If I was talking to a guy and he mentioned this chick from Taiwan he dated who was all weird and stuff but then gave a vague throwaway answer when I asked how… well I would assume he was lieing about dating the girl from Taiwan When she said ic is where I see Diamonds “legs being crossed” at the club she checked out because (imo) she thought you were BSing her and trying to impress her with your foreign girl stories. ---

Thats what I figured as well, Most people do not understand about host families. I figured she would understand as she was a host family for 4 girls… They get pretty wild. And yea it’s all true, did’t date an american until 22, dated foreign exchange students. Taiwan girl took classes in a building I worked in, that was fun since her apartment was above mine, I live across the street from our university. ---

Dang! that is a looong conversation to fiddle into a phone with text. Yet it could have been said in 10 minutes of phonetalk or five in person.
