I don't have a bunch of plates I'm talking to right now. I'm still trying to focus on increasing my smv and get back into shape when I was sub 15% bf(I am focused on being sober and hitting the gym daily on a massive cut/diet because I am gross at 18-20%bf).

Anyways, I am not super busy all day but trying to be. Meeting up with clients, doing some research, gym and etc. My phone is always around me. I need to consistently check my emails or be around to answer my phone in case I get an important call. Anyways... Whenever I get a text or tinder message, I feel compulsion to just go ahead and answer the text almost instantaneously.. But we're all told it's a bad idea and I totally agree with that shit.

So how long do you wait to answer, why the fuck do women need to play this stupid game? (I'm gonna guess validation)

She texts me, I wait to some undetermined time (whether it's 15 minutes, or an hour).. Then like clockwork most girls will wait either double that or the next day and rarely instantaneous. We all know these bitches see your message, half the time they're texting with other people while they're sitting across the table from you..

What's the science, how long do you wait to respond? Playing these kind of games almost makes me want to go back to the old days where cell phones didn't even exist.
