The border between persistence and being clingy/oneitis

Plates man, plates. If a woman is giving you any trouble at all, switch your attentions to another plate and cool off before you go back.

They can be the same thing, there isn't necessarily a border.

People will use whatever words they want to describe anything and these words can twist and distort reality.

persistence is more sexual dynamic... like courtship. clingy is more based on fear of loss.

Totally different.

Persistent if there is mutual attraction. Clingy if one partners holding on to a lost cause.

im not persistent or clingy...

just talk to enough girls that they keep your attention without much effort on your part.

If an attractive guy texts a girl frequently, he is persistent.

If an unattractive guy texts a girl frequently, he is clingy.

If you'd like to be considered more persistent than clingy, go to the gym/read books/do your hair.

Persistence is useful in developing a relationship -- manifests leadership and counters hard-to-get shit tests. It is completely counterproductive in obtaining a relationship: nothing demonstrates lower value more than seeming like you have no options other than her.

Abandon your scarcity mentality.

"If you feel that you have something to lose with a particular girl, you're no longer spinning plates—you're thinking and approaching dating in terms of exclusivity." - Rollo Tomassi

Always ask yourself, "is this worth my time?" If the answer is "no," then abort. Most of the time, you know the answer to that question.

Always remember that your time precious; when you do that, it's easy to sift out the details.

Persistency is when you try it because you have a good reason to believe that she is actually interested but don't care if it fails.

Oneitis is when you do it multiple times. Do not have options and care about the result.
