Text messaging as a logistical tool only

120 a day? What the fuck

she liked to use texting as a substitute for actual conversation. She wouldn't want to hang out with me in person because of [INSERT EXCUSE] but then she'd proceed to message me hundreds of times for the rest of the day.

Noticed the same thing once. It would appear as if that girl's (or all girl's?) goal of the game was to keep a guy on a hook. In a safe distant orbit. Once you look like you are escaping that orbit, some texting happens to pull you back.

I wonder what that was. Was I a great partner for conversations, but talking to me not in person was more gratifying than meeting me? Was I an intellectual text-whore?

Text messaging is going to be a tool for arranging hang-outs in person, nothing more.

Came to the same conclusion.

As an aside, I'll add that the one benefit of having a lot of conversation through texting is that everything is archived. So the whole gaslighting crap disappears. More than once I've saved myself by explicitly finding an old text to use as "evidence". Although... I suppose if you're at the point of having to find evidence...

Yeah, if you have to do this you've already lost whatever fight it is. Being right isn't always winning, and in the situation you're describing I'm sure that you don't come out winning even if the other person succumbs to defeat. Arguing with people is pretty much always much less effective than ignoring them.

I got rid of my cell phone when I figured out the wife was just using it to keep tabs on me and get me to do shit. Texting is like a billion times worse.

I disagree with using it only as a logistical tool but it should be used in moderation; 27K messages is a fuckload, some people might say that was clingly. Who initiated most of the text based conversations, you or her?

I'm with you on the anxiety it causes when you text and don't get a reply. I think it (texting) is a method of communication favored by women because they can use it to bullshit you in many ways

All you need to know about text game

And this gem of a video on texting and why it's worthless. BOOM

Seriously the best shit I've ever come across when it comes to "phone game". I swear by this shit.

Using the phone as a means to setup a meet is a Doc Love edict. You want person to person interaction so you can judge her body language, have eye contact, and get physical. This is the only way you can get to know these chicks, develop any kind of attraction, and gauge if these chicks are worth any long term commitment.

Besides texting so damn much does not present the chick with enough challenge. In other words, you are ALWAYS available and that is NEVER a good thing.

I find texting as a simple way to stay in contact with people (if I want to). I don't fret if they don't answer or worry about how quickly they respond. It's a fire and forget communication method.

ButterMyBiscuit · 2014-05-13T17:26:41+00:00

lol, you dated my ex

mister_scruff · 2014-05-13T13:29:04+00:00

You should only be using text messages as a quick way to arrange/re-arrange schedules. For all other communication, use your phone as a goddamn phone.

laere · 2014-05-13T15:51:43+00:00

Texting is pretty lame. I know girls that just are literally attached to their phones all the time and are devoid of human interaction. I've literally lost girl "friends" because I told them straight up: "If you're going to spend time with me and hang out, no phone, if you can't handle that, then we're no longer friends."

Really shows who respects you and doesn't.

FortunateBum · 2014-05-13T18:39:25+00:00

The question we should all be asking is why women, especially attractive women, prefer texting over almost all other kinds of interaction.

The answer to that question will explain a lot.

Also, only text when she texts first. Sometimes a little bit of playing through texting can be useful, but let her initiate and move towards arranging a date ASAP

ITworksGuys · 2014-05-14T18:43:02+00:00

If I have a text conversation with more than a couple replies I just wrap it up.

They can call me if they want to talk more.

That shit is crazy. I am glad I grew up when texting wasn't a thing.

3rt41 · 2014-05-13T07:26:33+00:00

I totally agree.

Guys, basically when you are not messaging her you are giving her attention. Attention from a man must generally be replied with affection( sex, bj's etc.) from the woman. Messaging a girl that you are not hanging out with is like a girl giving sex for free. That is the purpose of the date- the guy gives his attention and if the female deems him worthy, guess what? he receives affection.
