Does it matter what you say?

From an evolutionary stand point, words cant matter. If word were all it took, then every guy would just string a sentence or two together, fool the female and successfully pass on his genes.

Females who looked at only the surface value of words mated with chodes and got their genes weeded out of existance. Females that looked at the subcomunication, body language, vocal tonality, facial expression, micro expressions etc etc, stood a higher chance of selecting higher quality genes and resourceful, high status husbands.

Imagine this process occuring over millions of years. This evolutionary pressure would have been brutal to women who couldn't look at the depth of things.

But don't take my word for it. Make it your mission to see if this is really true in practice.

No. Words don't really matter.

Imagine if words mattered. Then how are we here today? How did our ancestors mate before they had created language?

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with everyone who's commented so far. Most semi-intelligent animals have their own forms of speech: birds chirp and sing, dogs bark and growl, cats meow and hiss, dolphins shriek like psychos. The reason we're able to actually talk is because our brains are more awesome.

Why do you think humans developed speech in the first place? Because we needed to, so we could communicate more effectively.

I'm not saying body language and attitude aren't important- they support and modify the words we use to suit our intentions and convey a stronger message. And god knows it's entirely possible to run a good amount of game without using any words at all. But it's also entirely possible to run a good amount of game with a terrible frame and insecure body language. Likewise, it's easier to fail when any of these things are insufficient.

OP was making jokes that were funny because of the words he used. BUT, he probably got more laughs than he otherwise would've because of his attitude/body language. They're both important when it comes to communication.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to point out that if words didn't matter, we wouldn't use em. And I wouldn't be forming this sentence right now.

I'd say the right words help you more than the wrong words hurt you. Good attitude and body language will exponentially amplify good words. Good attitude and body language will simply minimize the damage of dumb ones. m2c

Content is MUCH less important than style when you're building attraction with a girl. As long as the conversation is light, entertaining, preferably has some content that shows you as a high-value guy, and you're doing kino, the content is not critical.
