Eh idk. When I try to call women they often sound caught off guard if they pick up at all.

“Leave the texting for the little boys”

Sorry OP but if you need to shame men because they don’t follow your exact specifications as no longer being even men, then I wouldn’t be interested in dating you.

elvissayshi · 2022-01-28T13:45:39+00:00

I could not agree with this more. The screens own us. Human interaction is at a very fragile state right now. It’s so fucking depressing.

gt35r · 2022-01-28T14:05:59+00:00

Texting is the best way to drive a woman right out of your life even if they like you. I used to be big on texting but you literally exposition dump your entire life/week on them every day and then when you meet up what are you supposed to talk about? Also the whole not knowing the emotion or facial reactions to things being said. You are 100% more likely to say something stupid and fuck the entire thing up texting than you are in person.

2022-01-28T15:22:51+00:00

Every girl is different. You like text less than others. But yeah eventually too much is too much

And of course I call them first sometimes before text “lol”

labyrinthlilith · 2022-01-28T13:49:22+00:00

Yessss! Yes! Yessssss!! I really think dating has become so impersonal over the past few years. Not just dating, socializing in general. Bring back old school phone calls and meeting people in real life. 💯

monkey36937 · 2022-01-28T14:16:38+00:00

People have forgotten that the point of a getting a number is to set up dates, not long conversation. Want to have a long conversation call the person. People don't want to meet up move on

originalgainster · 2022-01-28T15:31:43+00:00

I prefer talking on the phone too but what if she doesn't pick up or return your call? I feel like if she is not responding to my text she won't pick up my call. I guess you need establish this during the approach.

Chi-Cam · 2022-01-28T16:56:02+00:00

Why do so many women just complain rather than do.

IF YOU REALLY liked this guy why didn’t you call him? Why didn’t YOU text him “let’s hang out” or “I want to FaceTime”. Why the hell does he have to know what YOU want and initiate it. Clearly texting wasn’t the problem because if I wanted to talk to a girl, I’d simply call her or tell her to “let’s go here”.

I agree that texting isn’t sustainable but lord help my soul… Why not meet your interest at least half way instead of just stunning him because you expected him to know you.

AdditionalBad9987 · 2022-01-28T17:12:47+00:00

This is nothing more than a HOT take. Do what gets you results.

If I want to bag a woman I send her a voice clip. They can't resist my sexy ass voice and melt.

girlgurufordudes · 2022-01-28T18:33:15+00:00

I'm a woman and I see your point but I disagree. I love talking on the phone with a boyfriend. But when I'm in the initial dating stages - I have a pretty strict filtration process that a guy needs to "pass" first. My method for determining compatibility in the early stages is by analyzing how, when, and what a guy is texting me. I have unique questions to get to know him and see if we're a match before talking on the phone or agreeing to a date.

Call me a hardass but that's why my coaching clients are so successful in dating. If they can pass my strict filter, they can pass the filter of most women. I DO tell them to try to get her number early on but if she declines - it's not indicative of her attraction. It just means she's not ready or she needs to get to know them better first.

2022-01-28T18:38:38+00:00

Things have changed, people in general don’t like being called out of the blue

This is such a good post.

modidlee · 2022-01-28T15:06:24+00:00

Lmao guys don’t understand the effect their voice has. My ex actually refuses to talk to me on the phone because of the effect my voice has on her

Extension_Ad2683 · 2022-01-28T15:08:54+00:00

didn't have anything going on in his life and wasn't busy enough. Even if he waited to txt you because you told him you'll eventually find out he isn't that interesting

Mundane-Currency5088 · 2022-01-28T15:14:43+00:00

I feel like it's important to accept that you aren't compatible if you aren't willing to accommodate a person you are interested in and go find someone who gets you. I love hearing someone's voice but if the information is important I want a text so I can look at it and remember. My daughters prefer texting and will not answer the phone unless it's me or other close friends. I'm basically the only person they talk to on the phone which is kind of them.

Snakehead004 · 2022-01-28T15:38:33+00:00

I feel the exact same way but for some reason people wanna have a whole relationship via text nowadays 🤷🏻‍♂️

Neil1398 · 2022-01-28T15:45:49+00:00

Yeah I agree, I actually prefer to meet them in person, or use audio messsages/FaceTime

But maybe this dude had a girlfriend or a spouse, which is why he didn’t want to call you.

2022-01-28T16:22:09+00:00

You kinda need a solid-ish foundation via text before the calls really pick up. Otherwise, it's just the same thing but better or slightly better.

Deep-Room6932 · 2022-01-28T16:27:54+00:00

Whats your number?

SuaveFuck · 2022-01-28T16:39:26+00:00

texting is a fantastic way to find out how invested the other person is in you. if i text you romantic or hot stuff, or just text you so much that meeting in person would have easily fit in there........and that move to real life meetup never happened - shows how much REAL interest is there.

and from there on you can move on.

Casanova-Quinn · 2022-01-28T16:58:46+00:00

To elaborate on OP's point, excessive texting is bad because:

It looks needy or desperate
It seems like you have nothing else going on in your life
Higher potential for miscommunication
No mystery > no curiosity > boring > unattractive

In the initial dating phase, texting should only be used for setting up dates.

NeatBeluga · 2022-01-28T16:59:24+00:00

Please for the love of god preface the situation. Have you ever met/how did you meet, have you hooked up, how long have you known each other etc.

how can I randomly call a person? I always called long distance friends but nearby chicks, nope, I mean how should I ask?

random_question4123 · 2022-01-28T17:17:10+00:00

The truth is that texting is the norm and the one or two people that do call you stand out because they’re doing something different which is also a bit riskier. But what if, after this post, you now have like 10 guys calling you? That’s a lot of phone calls that take up a lot of time and it’s hard to multi-task while speaking on the phone. Chances are that, by that point, you’ll prefer texting. Extreme example, yes, but I think you should stop speaking authoritatively as if there is only one solution.

Not saying you’re wrong, I personally prefer calling myself but I do know it has its downsides.

Imperator_Pyra · 2022-01-28T17:19:04+00:00

Yes!

I wrote about this before, but let me write about it again from the perspective of someone who has hundreds of daygame approaches under his belt:

I call instead of texting, because my experience with texting was that some girls don't even respond, many others text with me for a while just to go silent later for no apparent reason, and only a few would go on a date with me. With calling, most girls are down to go for a date, and it's easier to set up the logistics of the date - just one quick call instead of multiple messages back and forth. Not sure yet why calling works so much better than texting - I do have a few ideas as to why that is (plus there's what OP said, also worth considering), but that's not really important - it just does.

jxn1997 · 2022-01-28T17:39:32+00:00

Women almost never respond to my call attempts unless we’ve already been on a date and built rapport. It’s too confrontational for a lot of them if you only briefly met in person or met online. If they’re even the slightest bit unsure about you (which is usually the case unless, again, you’ve already been on a full blown date) they won’t pick up because it makes it a lot harder for them to decline as opposed to text. And when they don’t pick up, then what? Voicemail is probably a worse option than texting, and if you make the call you’re pretty much all in on it. Calling then immediately texting is pretty much a double text.

iJuiiCe_x · 2022-01-28T17:42:55+00:00

Send voice messages ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

cutanddried · 2022-01-28T17:43:15+00:00

UUGH, if you want to talk to your partner, then call them.

This isnt a PSA, it's a preference, and it's not that popular of an opinion.

Chrisanova_NY · 2022-01-28T17:54:48+00:00

Lul leave texting for the little boys, when that’s 99% of what I do and it works great. Imagine shaming men for texting omegalul.

I’d rather not text and just leave all conversation for when you see each other face to face

spicylittlelady · 2022-01-28T18:46:27+00:00

I don’t think it’s quite fair to say texting is for little boys with no confidence. But I understand where you’re coming from as someone with a bush work schedule who doesn’t prefer texting. Seems like you’re both incompatible when it comes to communication. Totally fine. But he’s also within his right to want to text. That said, he does give off clingy energy from your post.

eeggrroojj · 2022-01-28T18:47:38+00:00

I learned that from Joey Diaz. He doesn't even respond to texts. What's wrong with a phone call. It's the equivalent of knocking on her door to pick her up as opposed to just texting her when you're outside.

Minute-Lie-2287 · 2022-01-28T18:48:13+00:00

Voice note.

" Doing insert task right now but just wanted to say blank" The implication is you're busy but took a moment for her and she'll be a little thrilled to hear your voice, without phone call pressure or the demand of dedicated time.

Much easier and every single time I've sent one the girl has said she was impressed and wish more guys would do that and they've tried and can't get most to do it.

breese9 · 2022-01-28T18:51:49+00:00

I try to send snap videos or voice messages instead! Found it more useful in my opinion
