I think it could be helpful, but is usually detrimental because there is a correlation between those who text a lot and those who feel insecure with themselves. Personally, if I am interested in a girl I usually text her quite a bit, and it usually fucks shit up.

A hundred times this. If you haven't had sex yet, you shouldn't really be initiating texts unless for a date. And then only to set it up and that's it.

I'm from the mindset where it's for two things:

From a female perspective, don't play games, just text. Believe me, we are trying to figure out if we should text or not. The guy should take charge. Just don't come off as needy. Once a day is cool.

Personally I think text game can go a long way. You can really get into her head. It ends up being a lot of game playing but it can really be a good game supplement. Like taking your time when she texts you. Or if you've already built rapport, you can send a text here or there to remind her she's on your mind.
But it has to be done right or you can come off all wrong, like creepy or clingy. And it's important to note that it's a supplement. Not primary game.
That's my 2 cents.

Texting is a fantastic way to BUILD on what you already have. Don't text too often, and don't use it to get to know her. Keep conversation light, don't try to get to know her over text. Tease her, don't wait by the phone expecting a response, get her to laugh.
That's at the start, eventually you will be able to text her however you want, but keep it light at the start. Keeps you in her mind

I've found that text game is great after you've had a few dates or have had sex. It helps build comfort and is also a great way to neg her about your previous meetings. Keep it light and fun, with sexual undertones.
With that said, text game should be kept to a minimum if you haven't had much personal time yet. Don't be the needy guy that isn't alpha enough to meet.

How is every one getting laid on okcupid? All I see is fat chicks. I got one phone number. But I turned her off because I told her I don't think I want to stick with law enforcement as my career. But I did get an email from ok Cupid saying I was voted one of the hottest on there and wl get better matches because of that. Any one else get that?

I just play it 50/50. I text and get to the point, sending cock and sexy pictures asap and try and get some in good pictures in return and then find a time to hang out. 50% will bail but 50% will participate. Who cares about the 50 who say no because you just met any way and just considerate on the 50 who play.
