Edit: Wanted to post this up top. Been trying out the "Law of least effort" today. Holy. Shit. Normally I ramble on in messages/texts/phone convos - Today I kept it to a bare minimum. I acted coy, I didn't feed a bunch of info about myself. I just hint, in a sexy/flirty way about questions these girls ask me and my responses have to have increased by 60%. Like Chase (the author) says: make them work to get to know you. Make them Chase you. Shorter sentences that are leading. The shorter the msg and the longer you wait to reply (not too long), the better. And tease! One girl just said: "Wow, you're a lucky guy. Omg, shutup!" - I replied "Calm down now. ;) Don't push your luck :P" and she replied "hahahaha :) fine fine" --- Don't be afraid to be a little cocky. They love it.. and also, one liners seem to work. If you use plenty of fish, okcupid or whatever, try something like I do (it seems cheesy, but it totally catches their eye) [Subject Line: Do you have a BandAid?] - [Body: I just scraped my knee falling for you.]. Better than, "hey... sup?" Also! Don't supplicate them. One girl wanted to chat on AIM. I said, "Aim hurts my head, download yahoo." 20 min later she made an account, tracked me down and msg'd me. Make them chase you!

Ok, so this is the second attempt at posting this link, but the submission won't link to the article. Here's the link for try # 2:

Here are some of the articles that I read which I think are a must for anyone who wants a better understanding of what women want, versus want they say they want; and how you can possibly change your game to reflect this understanding. (also some people claim I work for this guy, or I'm spamming his site for pay. Haha, read my comment history please. It's just, honestly - the more I read this guys stuff, the more I learn. We're here on Reddit to learn, right? We're here in Seddit to learn about upping our game, right?)

A few of my favorite quotes from his blog posts are:

When I was first training myself up as a persistent guy, it helped me to imagine myself as a Latin or Italian man romancing some ravishing belle. In America, men are trained not to be pushy, so we’re much more hands off and if a woman says, “No, I have to get up early tomorrow,” we just accept it and back down, even if that’s not what she wanted us to do. Can you picture a Latin man or an Italian man letting it stand at just one refusal?

Italian: Come with me, bella donna!

Girl: Alas, I cannot, I must rise early tomorrow.

Italian: Oh, okay.

and

"But the thing is -- that anger and insult is terribly misguided. Because it isn't you that a woman's rejecting -- it's your approach to her, your presentation of yourself, how you come across in that split second when she's first assessing you." It's not you. It's your game.

or

"Eventually some of the pieces started coming together. I learned to talk about myself a lot less and get girls talking about themselves much more. It didn't make much sense at first, but I couldn't dispute the fact that women seemed to be more interested in me when I told them fewer cool things about myself, and just focused on exuding coolness and sexiness without talking about it."

or (my favorite)

"The only time the nice guys actually get the girl is when she’s finally had her fill of bad boys and decides that it’s time to settle down with a nice guy who will take good care of her. The bad boys enjoy her when she’s young and vivacious, and the nice guys get the leftovers. The nice guys do get the girl – they do finish – it’s just that they finish last. Like the cliché." -------- .... "Your standard, run-of-the-mill nice guy, however, is not nice because he’s a legitimately warm-hearted soul, like those strong men we just mentioned. Instead, he’s nice because he’s scared. He’s scared that if he comes off as too assertive, or too aggressive, or too masculine, he will frighten women away and lose them. So he acts sweet and kind and gentlemanly and slow in an effort to not scare off women. And, in the end, all he scares off is their attraction." --- ..... "Do you think, for one moment, that had she told him, “Well, I’m just looking to hook up,” he would’ve said, “Oh, no thank you.” Of course not! I’m willing to bet you a hundred dollars that the entire reason he told her he was looking for a serious relationship was because that’s what he thought she wanted to hear - he probably thought it was the “safest bet” at getting her. I’m sure he’s a great guy, but when a man dances around like this and tries to act like he’s not interested in sleeping with women fast, it kills attraction. Just like it did here. Other men, who weren’t so timid about their intentions, got to sleep with my ex. But this poor nice guy didn’t (at least so far as I know!)."

and

"Oh, and as for how to act technically when a girl rejects you? Shrug. Laugh. Pretend to cry. Smack a mildly amused grin on your face and shrug your eyebrows, as if to say, "Does this girl really understand what she just missed out on?" (my personal favorite). Then go get back on the saddle and meet some more girls."

last but not least

"Actively approaching women is like that – you must commit yourself to making it through those first 12 weeks. It’s one of the toughest, most intimidating things you can do for most guys – but it’s also going to be one of the most rewarding. If you want women in your life, you need to go out and get them. They aren’t going to come to you; it doesn’t work that way."

EDIT: Also, you'll have to get used to jumping from article to article. This is a must. In each article, the author will cite back to a previous post where you should look to gain some understanding. I continue to get halfway through a blog post, only to click a link to an entirely knew post just to maintain an understanding. It's refreshingly awesome.
