I know it works on women with frail egos. Is playing the “game” really necessary?
Theres a bit of talk about negging here… Starts on page 2.
Good deal.
Despite what they might say, the ladies here in this forum just love to be insulted.
Just give it a try!

Its MAD Tater not STUPID TATER. ![]()
not a big fan. but then i’m a bit of a diva. i like you better when you kiss my ass.
ok just kidding. sorta. my guy sorta accidentally negs, simply because there is very little filtering between brain and mouth with him. a lot of girls seem to eat it up. but then again he’s not really paying attention to them. I personally smack him down when he says something stupid. he seems to like that.
so - chicks respond to negging, dudes respond to bitchy. woohoo. now let’s get back to relating one on one.
Detail is everything. If you over do it or cross over to simply mean spirited ass it only leads to conflict or hurt feelings. A little in the right way and time is playful and bonding. Not everyone is smart enough to know where to draw the line.
Sometimes you can comment on something, thinking the other person won’t be offended, and she will…
Umm.. speaking as a woman who does have a bit of an issue with low self-esteem and a frail ego - although not as much as I did in my late teens and twenties.
It does NOT always work on women with frail egos - unless, and this is just in my case, it is done VERY obviously as teasing and fun.
Otherwise. I would just walk away feeling like crap and trust me a man who makes a woman feel like crap is not attractive to her.
As said, this is just my experience, negging may work on some women with frail egos but not all - so weigh it up on experience, reading body language, a good helping of common sense and a smidge of intuition.
Some of the stuff in the game would work on me - but negging would not, unless as I said it was obviously teasing and funny. ![]()

I look at it this way. To each his own, but for myself I find negging juvenile. It shows a lack of confidence in yourself. Mind you I am talking about negging not light teasing or kidding around.
Its something that if you choose to do it, you better learn to do it well or it can come off all wrong. Because getting it right seperates the men from the boys. It seperates the Alpha’s from the Beta’s
Confident alpha men dont need to neg to make themselves or others perceive them as of HV. They already perceive themselves that way and because of that confidence they give off that aura.
Beta males who lack confidence tend to think they need to bring people down to there level so they can feel like they are of HV and because they feel threatened by anyone they perceive to have HV. Alot of women will pick up on it right away. They may even be attracted to it because naturally its easier to get a Beta with a lack of confidence to do exactly what you want. This is not true of a Beta with confidence in who he is of course. I find both Alphas and confident Beta attractive.
In my opinion every person has value, but no one person has more value then another. If you value yourself others will value you as well. If they dont, screw them its a big world with alot of people in it.
Its really the essence of confidence.

HV= Higher Value and is a term used by PUA’s for those who dont already know
Damn sorry about this Tish whats a PUA ? I’m still trying to get up to speed with the forum terminology. ![]()
Pick Up Artist. Sorry should have added that one and dont feel bad I had to ask when I first came here to. ![]()
Oh and negging is something like insulting a girl you just meet to attract them. There are some posts around the board that explain it a bit better though.
Sort of like pulling pigtails in the playground. snort

Different strokes for different folks.
What works for/on some don’t to jack for another.
As for my personal opinion, “negging” can be fun IF IF IF done in an obvious teasing way and CAREFULLY taking into consideration your hopefully correct reading of the other person’s ego or lecel of self-esteem.
In one way it could be a test, especially if you are looking for a long term relationship. I for one don’t like to deal with overly frail egos, or with someone who lacks a certain sense of humor. I’m not a fan of the biting type “practical joker” personality, or with someone who takes things far too seriously. A bit of light teasing can help separate the wheat from the chaff.
My opinion.
ya know, i still don’t know what to think of the whole “mystery” pick up artist game thing.
i actually got a good “neg” from my target recently – though i am 110% certain it was not intended as one. “you are too smart to do something like that.” “Like that” = that stupid. I had to actually ask a couple of people if i should feel insulted or complimented. the consensus was that i should feel very honored. “He thinks your really smart!” I however can’t quite forget the, “That was a really dumb thing to do!” part. I was a little hurt and angry.
whatever.
incidentally, i think a lot of mytery’s appeal to women is that he’s super confident, fairly good looking, and he treats a woman so she feels that she is the only, and most respected and important, person in the world. that’s a really intoxicating feeling and shouldn’t be underestimated. Bill Clinton is said to possess that ability as well. “Charm” is what it is often called, but it’s something else and far more rare.
yeah, i’d fall for the neg thing from mystery and my target, but don’t know about others.
good looking? He looks like a homeless person with black fingernail polish and a pair of sunglasses he plucked out of a dumpster? Who needs pheros when the alleycats are giving it away for free?
You’re too smart to think twice about that guy!
Okay, so did the neg work? Huh? Did it? Did it?

mystery is hot in a hip L.A. kinda way, though his clothes are a bit overboard. but the idea is, i believe, that they would be quickly removed. i believe that’s how it works.

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHhhhhahahhaa…
…nice try.
::tosses biscuit to tater::
your neg or the target/victim’s faux-neg?
Well i was hoping that if i put on some black nail polish and rumbled around in the dumpsters for a while that youd take me home and let me make you feel like youre the only woman in the world…who id want to take a shower with, sleep in a nice warm bed with and have a hot breakfast with before stealing money from your purse, using it for 420 and going off to find the next…
Hmmm… Maybe this mystery guy is on to something!!!
the joke is on you. i’m broke, my wallet and purse are empty.
as it is i have to beg for spare change outside the supermarket to pay for my next shipment of 'mones.
Don’t tell anyone.. I did that to a girl once in school…
it didn’t work on me on the playground either.
incidentally, i just totalled up my pheromone wishlist: $1060.95
ouch.
