If we're including other hats, I have an Ebbetts Field Flannel wool baseball hat for a long disbanded team. It makes me feel like I'm from a parallel universe because people are always trying to figure out what team it is. I also have a rabbit fur lined trapper because I'm Canadian, plus some random toque

That would be pretty hilarious, so I would probably be particularly charmed.

A girl I was seeing at the time loved ships. She would always sit out near the docks and wait for the ships come in underneath the bridge. Most days she'd never make it at the right times to catch them

One day I was doing some work on a dock near the bridge and asked the dock worker how they knew ships were coming in. He told me to download this app they had and I sent it to her. It made her really happy.

So yeh, I'd have to agree, sometimes the simplest forms of sweetness are the best ways of conveying that you are thinking of someone.

This is just from the first half of one thread:

Default BF Destroyer Technique

Guys i've had a lot of problemes with this in the past but i read different routines and patterns and styles of doing it until i came up with my own routine. Now u should know that it differs from the kind of relationship, u can't use the same BFD on a girl who's been with a guy for a year and a girl that's been with a guy for a month.

That beeing said, u should NEVER EVER speak badly about the BF that will only get the HB in a deffensive and agressive state and u will be bringing them closer together. Instead u speak highly of him describe him as beeing the most perfect man/BF in the world then something strange will happen she will start disqualifing him(don't worry if she only says one bad thing it's enough) thats when u resist the urge to disqualify him again and u DEFEND him in a way making him the insecurist persone in the hole world, u need to go total AFC to do this.


FOR LTR'S:


All LTR's have 1 or all of theese problemes:


-Jealousy
-Neediness
-Failure to commit
-Abusive behaviour
-Loss of passion


This is how u respond to theese 5 problemes:


Jealousy:


"You have to understand that this guy really appreciates you, because you're probably the best girl that he ever got, or ever will get. I know that... you care about this guy (maybe sp)... but there's just a certain equilibrium where if you've done this guy a favour by being with him and he's not equipped to handle it, since he knows that he'll never get a girl like you again if he walks out, that he's just constantly frustrated and panicked that you'll leave. It's not his fault.


Neediness:


"You've got to understand that for this guy you are his entire world. He cares about you so much, that everything else in the world is meaningless to him. You are his only source of pleasure, and without you he knows that. ..he's nothing. You can't blame him, he just doesn't have anything else going for him, so he needs you."


Failure to commit:


"It's not that this guy doesn't love you. He does. Its just that deep down he has a fear that... you're too good for him... and that you'll realize it and be like, you know....you just have to dump this guy.... and then he'll be left emotionally destroyed because he made himself vulnerable. Yes yes I know that you wouldn't do that to him, but its just that with he knows that you could get other guys (SP)...like me...I just think that he's not an emotionally secure person, and you've gotta cut him some slack."


Abusive behaviour:


"It's not that this guy doesn't love you. Its that he loves you too much, and just can't handle it. He's not emotionally available, and because he knows that you're the best he's ever had, he can't handle all of these things that he's going through emotionally. All his life he probably wasn't very good with women, and women weren't interested in him.. So now that he's got this girl, he doesn't know how to handle it.


Being too predictable, not passionate:


"Its not that this guy doesn't love you. He does. Its just that he's so comfortable with you now.. and feels so close to you, that you're more like a sister to him.. Like a special sister, but someone who he doesn't feel that he has to do all these things for anymore, because your relationship is so secure and so predictable.. there's no need for all that excitement, because he knows that nothing will change.. Some guys deal with true love that way.. I dunno, for me, I think that if you really love someone, you have to keep it fresh. But really, its not that he doesn't love you, its just that he loves you so much that he doesn't see the need."


Then she'll start asking u what u would do if u were in his place or what u're like as a BF that's when u tell her i mean REALLY tell her what u're like leaving the bad stuff aside. U'll start creeping inside her head and taking this guy's place.
I prefer all this be said and done in 1 sitting i know it's a mouthfull but still. Here's how i once did it to an ENGAGED SHB 10 yrs my senior and she teaches at my uni:


We were walking side by side and then i started


Xavier: What's u're fiancee like anyway we've never talked about him, why do i get the feeling he's the most perfect guy in the world


SHB stopped dead in her tracks and said : No he's not perfect


Xavier: Oh come on now u're just beeing modest i bet he's tall broad shoulders has 8 packs beautifull eyes thick hair and that he's the envy of all u're friends.


SHB: (nothing just looking at the ground confused)


Xavier: I bet he gives plenty of just because gifts and all of them are very expensive and or very thoughtfull .He makes u feel safe, he always takes care of u never looks at other women, why i'd be willing to bet a million doolars that if Jessica Alba were to offer him a SNL and no one would ever no he would refuse


SHB: I don't know, i don't think so

Xavier: Why? cuz he's jealous, needy,.......(i used failure to commit cuz they went out for 2 yrs and she pressured him into marriage and he had been putting it off)


SHB: (starting to get that deffensive look)

Xavier: Guess what? That means he loves u .

SHB: (stunned look on her face)

Continued with the same lines tweeked the a failure to commit little cuz she's engaged, described myself as a boyfriend, used the Pandora's Box lines on her and BOOM. We broke up a couple of month ago but still, i got her and farked the sh1t out of her and her massive tits just like i always wanted to.

quote:

For STR'S:
U can pretend like these word's have no meaning and continue u're game normally or:

HB: I have a boyfriend
PUA: We'll be discrete (with a playful look)

HB: I have a boyfriend
PUA: Awww, that must be such a big accomplishment for u (this is a neg so do it with a smile and i suggest u pull her back in afterwards)

PUA:How about we go to x place
HB:I have a boyfriend
PUA: So can u not talk to other guys?
HB:yes i can
PUA: Can u not have guy friends?
HB: sure i can
PUA: Can u not go to x place(e.g.:if x place is a coffee shop u say can u not go to a coffee shop)
HB: Yes i can
PUA: Can u not do x thing?(e.g:can u not drink coffee?)
HB: Sure i can
PUA: so u can (all of the above) So let's go to x place at x time

This is a yes ladder u don't have to stretch it out as much but if u use the right tone it could be a playful thing

quote:

Here's a story for u... maybe u might like it.

I once knew this hispanic girl, total HB9... long hair, light skin, tall slim... great face... model like face even.

She was married to a guy who kinda matched my general description... dark hair and eyes, good dresser, commanding presence but short like me lol. I see them together at various parties over the years, they know me as a passing friend... never really hung out with them cuz i guess i really liked her and felt bad about it. She was also older than me by like 4 years, which when your 20 seems like a big deal lol. And this guy had himself reasonably put together so i felt inferior.

Fast foward like 6 years. She sees me at a function... her friend was with her. She comes up to me and starts talking to me. I had disqualified myself so i didnt think anything about it. We chat, i DONT ask for a number, they leave.

Fast forward again a few months. I see a mutual friend and the HB9 comes up. Turns out her husband was abusive, they divorced, she moved 5 states away... And it happened 6 Months before! I totally wasted an opportunity that basically came to me! (That time ...i saw her she happened to be in town seeing her parents)

My point is this: Always run SOME kind of game. Even if you just Drop a subtle point or two from what X posted ...do it! You never know what will happen in the future. If I did this back then, i could have very well gotten that girl when her marriage dissolved through no fault if my own.

quote:

quote:

Sorry... thats not my question. I guess i explained it wrong. What i mean is when u already fclosed and she is so into u that she talks about leaving her man or getting divorced?

How do u get across that the sex 'just happened' and that the two of you shouldnt persue anything serious? I guess dhv for the guy she's with? Tell her he is better for her? Basically, you really have no interest in getting serious but she does...

Wow u're a real homewrecker :P.
Simply just tell her the truth. Or think about what u would have done in u're AFC days:
-dlv urself
-speak badly about the husband
-become needy (which is a super dlv and definate turn off)
-if all else fails : tell her u love her just kiding don't ever do that

quote:

When they say they have a BF, I also like to say one of the following:

"Oh that's great! If it doesn't work out between us I'm glad you have someone else as a back up. And if we do work out, maybe he can cook dinner for us or something."

" (suspicious look) Why do you bring that up now? Ooh you must feel tempted to try something with me. Well, I am super flattered but I barely know you. We have to be friends first. Besides, I don't even know if you're good in bed."

quote:

In another thread a while back, a couple of us developed a pretty great yes ladder bf destroyer that I'm going to throw up in here as well. I've used this with great success, or this general concept, several times.

So if she says she has a boyfriend you go in with:

PUA: Are you allowed to speak with other guys?
Her: Yes
PUA: You can still be friends with guys, right?
Her: Yes, but...
PUA: Don’t you hang out with your friends?
Her: Yes.
PUA: I imagine your friends have your number?
Her: Yea.
PUA: Since were friends, what are your digits?

You can make several variations on this, but the point is to use a yes ladder to psychologically prime the girl to accept the place you are taking her. It works like a charm.

Nah bc instead of realizing that humans are just easily manipulated and susceptible to certain things, they think women in particular are stupid idiots (while getting bilked for all their cash in a $5000 course to learn how to talk to girls it's pretty magical).

Talking about subjects that you aren't comfortable with is nerve-wracking even if you aren't explicitly afraid of the rejection. If you don't get practice with it during middle/high school for whatever reason, you can easily end up in a situation where asking someone out is outside your comfort zone for years past the point where everyone else is settling down. It's not hard to imagine why some percentage of those people (mostly the ones who were already terrible for other reasons) might take the attitude adopted in this thread.

Nothing really, unless it's something personal. But exposing your feelings to a person you think you love/like, but are unsure how they feel about you, is kinda scary without experience.

It just so happens that for 'nice guys' said persons happen to be women and them being equivocating idiots that they are they surmise that their lack of experience/tact leading to their failures = all women are evil. THIS IS NOT ON ME! I'M SUCH A NICE GUY!

Really, it's the same 'scaryness' or rather nervousness that one would also get from say...talking in person with a movie star that they idolize and hoping they make a good impression ect.
