Why does text game not exist?

I have been texting a "plate" ish for about a month now after fucking her three times. Over 1000 text messages. I figured we would fuck again (we have 3 hours distance between us) probably not going to happen and she got the feel that I was wanting a relationship. I told her no. Its all just been a waste of time. It was fun sex but ultimately she just wanted my validation. I was giving it to her. I fucked up. I told her im done talking to her for awhile. Im not going to say anything ever again until she says something. Its been 24hours.

Texting = waste of time. A little maintanence here and there, but stick to logistics. She can go talk to her orbiters, I was one... was.

Because almost all girls read texts literally. Females focus on the indirect communication to interpret the subtleties of a conversation, whereas guys emphasize the words used. Texting eliminates the indirect subcommunication.

Good game is mostly based on indirect communication. If you try to use sarcasm or double entendres through texts, girls simply don't get it. For example, if you are having a real world conversation and say something like "yeah I bet you like to eat sausage" all but the dumbest girls will understand that you're really talking about dick. Send the same words through text and a surprisingly large percentage of girls will think you are just referring to food. OTOH, if you text one of your bros saying "yeah your mom likes sausage" he will definitely understand the joke. Because we don't need to see a smirk and raised eyebrow to understand the message.

The only way to do game type stuff in text is if you are explicitly sexual. And this only works well if you already have an existing sexual relationship with the girl, or if she is horny and very DTF. If you are still in the early stages and trying to build attraction and it comes across as creepy/thirsty and triggers ASD if you text something overtly sexual.

It's the most noncommittal form of communication there is and girls will abuse it for validation. There is text game, but it's mostly going to be for gauging initial interest and logistics. Game is heavily reliant on establishing your presence and it's difficult to show what kind of man you are with a few texts. Even a phone call is preferable to texts since she can actually hear your voice and has pressure to answer you in real time.

Giving her that kind of attention is counter productive to appearing too valuable/busy for her frame. Also, any wins over text do not necessarily translate to you getting laid more frequently. It's not an unviable tactic, but on a list of priorities, it should be at the bottom of the list.

There's so many better, more important things to focus on, and the benefit is so minimal, and it opens your frame to vulnerabilities, so it's often reccomended to abandon it altogether. If shes responding, stick to just logistics.
