"You're so bad at texting"

Only use texting to set up dates. Anything else is a waste of time. Also look up text-game.

There has to be a reason for your current woman to be annoyed and it may just be that it's because she can't put herself where she wants to be in the relationship. I.e. being able to change you.

It's a shit test, don't change.

Don't change for the girl.

If you need a better way to be notified of WORK texts, you can buy a Pebble watch. I find that even if I accidentally leave my phone on silent or in a drawer, my Pebble watch will vibrate and notify me of a text.

Chicks in their 20s especially are texting fiends. It's what they do. Texting, instagram, snapchat, facebook.

Just be yourself. If you check it every three hours, that's what you do. She's just some chick.

Shouldn't be a priority for you.

I try to keep most text exchanges to 4-5 "chatty" texts maximum, followed by logistics for a date. Makes them feel like I'm giving them just enough time but then I have other things I want to do.

Varying response times coupled with a short line of texts is really the way to go. The longer you text a girl for, the longer you have to fuck up.

It really depends on the context - this could easily be a shit test from a woman you're already sleeping with, or on the other end of the spectrum, a frustrating remark from a girl trying to meet up with you while you're too busy following a script to text her.

No no no. Keep doing what you're doing.

If she bitches again about the texting thing, tell her to send you a pic of her pussy and/or tits with every text she sends and then MAYBE she'll get a quicker response. Say it with a playful devilish grin and that settles everything.

This is really omega - dude sorry to tell you but you have to change! You should be constantly checking your phone. If you get a message write back instantly. Also send her a kiss-text as often as possible :*

Anyone read "The way of the superior man" ? Women crave attention because they are only about "Where is stuff NOW?" and "Where is stuff going?". It doesn't matter that the dinner you payed for the other night took you 3 hours to earn the money to afford and in three hours you could literally send a kissy text almost 10,000 times, enough so that every hour for the next two years she'd know you were paying attention to her. Because they are insecure unfufilled creatures they need a lapdog to make them feel secure and attended to and like you won't leave at a moment's notice (if they were raised with a Daddy that always gave them attention or other boys often have...is she hot? yup? she's going to be an attention whore). These women need your constant attention and you aren't giving it to them. This is not a bad thing necessarily unless you are into satisfying that need. This is something I might do for the mother of my child so that she feels safe and loved and protected and like I'm always there because I think this will make her happier and a better mother. For anyone else? Not worth my time generally but I'll still do it occasionally as long as she is holding up her end of the bargain...you decide about yours. Also, do it sparingly and randomly and you get mega "bonus points" cf Variable ratio schedule (VR) in reinforcement learning. (Note: don't give a hot girl attention after you have and it will drive her ballistic so watch out for retribution socially/from her orbiters/etc). Thanks for the question! This is a universal problem. EDIT (more shit to say it seemed)

Just do as you please. If you are dating this girl it wont be an issue. She wants something to complain about and just let her, ignore it and keep doing as you do.

You obviously reply to her texts, if you are actually doing things then why should you stop what you are doing just to look at your damn phone? When I go to the gym, or dojo, or do anything I put my phone away and focus on what I am doing.
