Should I wait to answer texts?

You should reply whenever TF you wanna reply. Be sporadic, I’ll reply in seconds, mins or even hours depending on what I’m doing. It’s so wack how we made up this wait exactly X mins rule.

I’ve never understood why anyone would wait X amount of minutes to respond to someone so they don’t seem desperate or too clingy. If someone is responding quickly to me, most of the time I do not even notice but if I were to, I haven’t ever thought they were weird. I don’t like slow conversations so when someone purposely waits to text me back, nothing bothers me more.

'text game' is vastly overestimated IMHO. If you find yourself stressing out over whether you are texting too soon or not then it's usually a sign that you are in a weak position with a girl.

The aim of 'text game' isn't to add value through texting or turn around a losing position, it's merely to 'not fuck thing up'. Fuck all the chit-chat with them, they can get the validation and attention from their friends. One text a day is enough from us and the focus should just be on getting dates and banging them.

Let's say you lead a fulfilling life (might even be your case), would you answer right away when you are at work? With friends? When you are training?

No! That's what you are trying to emulate.

Event better: Lead a fulfilling life, you won't have to emulate one!

If you believe the concept of high value/status guys do X, but low value/status guys do Y - then "Brad Pitt"/"Derek Jeter" wouldn't answer any text timely. George Clooney is too busy being cool to always check his phone.

The theory says that a guy that ALWAYS replies timely, that sends more texts, longer texts, etc is showing "low value behavior".

There are other ideas on this topic, but that's what the idea of timing your texts/time to reply/length/frequency is about.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Waiting to reply to a text is a stupid game.

Text when you're able to -- if you're genuinely busy then don't text back.

This forces you to fill your time with other things so that you are **genuinely** busy so that you won't text back immediately. Believe me, it works

Yes definitely, 10-15 minutes minimum.

I'm not a fan of the waiting game. I feel like text convos always end up feeling stale, so as soon as I make them laugh I ask to meet up, where I know I'll kill it 9 out of 10 times.

I like to wait to not seem desperate. Just keep doing what you were doing and reply in a good stopping point. Show you are a busy with ambitions. If you are not, wait about 20-30min

It's a balancing act. Respond immediately sometimes. If you're not busy. If you're driving, you shouldn't be responding to texts anyways. Cooking? Playing a video game? Watching porn? Respond when you're ready to respond.

Don't always be immediately available, but don't never be either.

You should not reply immediately but somewhere after waiting 10-30 minutes.

She needs to understand that she is not your top priority and that she needs to invest first before you become more committed.

To give her a signal that her investment is appreciated reduce to reply time frame window slowly.

However it is important to not to forget that casual texting should not be your goal.

Never wait. Just answer when you can, its alway cool to have "this person" who alway message quick

Well the trick is to actually be busy so you don’t have to ask this question
