So what's the verdict, guys? It kinda seems like there are two schools of thought when talking to new women:

  1. Being persistent. Overcoming her shit tests, being witty, clever, knowing just what to say, and ultimately showing great interest in her.

or

  1. Having a zero-fucks-given attitude. Being nonchalant. Oh you're not interest? Ok cool, I'll go find someone who is. I'm high value and not going to waste my time on you.

It seems like psychology would suggest the second approach more adequately captures the primitive core of female desire, but I'm also aware (and have witnessed) the "game" in the first one to work as well.

Is this just a case-by-case basis thing? If so, how do you determine which approach works better? Is it something else? Or is one really better than the other?
