Yep, this does work sometimes. I've found girls that respond to this are not worth effort/time, which is why I started ignoring them. It's an annoying game I don't play. Good luck.
[–]Leadbaptist 70 points71 points72 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Right? I hate it. Alright so when I stop caring that's when you START??? Goodbye
[–]dsade 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, and this game pretty much never ends. YOu want her, so she doesn't want you. Stop caring and she pursues until you act like you want her again, rinse repeat.
Better to find someone that isn't hung up on this game.
[–]IWLoseIt 32 points33 points34 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
yup, girls like this are usually just in it for the cheap thrill. it gets boring after a while to "keep them entertained".
[–]PopeOwned 10 points11 points12 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Oh yeah, had that happen to me recently. Girl at work gives me attention and then constantly flakes when we set up dates. I figure out she has a boyfriend (lied to me the entire time) and then ignore her entirely.
Kept trying to text me and get my attention. That's just annoying.
[–]geft 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Are you me? She wasn't texting though. She constantly tried to get close to me at work.

It works best if it's perceived as authentic instead of just a ruse.
Pretending to be scarce vs actually being scarce. Think diamonds and gold.

Ever hear of the D.E.N.N.I.S. system?
[–]MJive 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
This actually works though?
I thought it was just a joke I wasn't supposed to take seriously.
[–]nxqv 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Well, define "works". Depends what you want out of it.
Also, I have this theory that nearly every failed relationship can fit this mold.

OP, this type of girl is a pump and dump. I guarantee it
[–]Stevie_Stacks 38 points39 points40 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Works. While it's true playing games like this is something petty or "immature" chicks may do, I see your hustle pimp just tryna get some booty. Hell if she's fine too got no problem hittin that that and then throwing her the deuce while you heely tf out her house.

[–]Roamingkillerpanda 18 points19 points20 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
OP, this woman sounds incredibly petty. Why even bother?
[–]a_nus29 points 10 years ago* [recovered] (8 children) | Copy Link
This works because you're portraying that she's not your top priority. You got other shit to do. You're not a chump that just sits around and thinks about her all day.
Funny thing is that even if you are a chump thinking about her all day (let's face it, many of us on this sub), you can still consciously ignore her and it'll still work for a limited time, until she reads through your bullshit, which she eventually will.
The main takeaway should be that you should get to the point to where you're subconsciously ignoring her. Improve your life, get awesome hobbies, and keep yourself so busy that you're not thinking about girls every 20 seconds. And honestly, that applies to many of the "seduction techniques" you read on here. The goal shouldn't be to memorize and apply certain techniques. Although it's necessary at first, the end goal should always be to get yourself to a point in life where you ooze confidence naturally, and assuming you're not autistic, the rest should fall into place.
[–]ermhelpmeplz 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Never ceases to amaze me how long it takes people to realise this (myself included). All of the techniques and pick up lines, kino etc. - its all just attempts to imitate the actions of a man that has strong "inner game". He doesn't need kino techniques, he'll touch a girl when he's talking to her without thinking because he wants to etc. Your comment or something along those lines should be the first thing anyone that comes here sees

That's exactly what I did. I am improving by losing weight (10kg left and i'm done). I started mma as hobby. I am keeping myself busy by, studying school work, hanging out with friends, and reading self improvement books.

Ok, cool. Now, what do you do that can make someone feel a range of strong, fun emotions? Can you do it well and consistently?
[–]code5fun 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
What do you mean with that? Do you mean acting more like an alpha?
[–]vardarac 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
"Being alpha", or emotional resilience and ability to command authority, is just one facet of creating any of a pack of emotions that add up to excitement.
The point I'm getting more at is that women are excited by feeling a wide range of strong emotions. Think of DJs and rock stars, they get laid because they make girls feel excited by their status, talent, and/or unafraid expression of themselves.
OP might get laid by this girl because he makes her feel like he's powerful because she can't control him, he becomes this object to be chased. Just one problem with that sort of excitement is that it's temporary. Once your novelty and illusory power wear off, she won't be interested unless there's something to take its place.
[–]code5fun 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Do you see it nescessary to always trigger emotions in a girl since they are emotional beings? In the way of keeping a balance of good and bad emotions, balance alpha and beta traits, not let it out of control so she always feels "something" or "anything" and doesn't get bored or hurt. Is this the formula on keeping a girl? Could we see emotions as a material that creates a gravitational pull to make a girl attracted to you? When is it safe to ease emotional stimulation? Maybe when the orbiting matter touches the center they become one? But when do a man and a woman touch? Is this maybe the point in time which is called love? Yo I think I've found a model to explain love. Or how to create it. I'm fucking genius, good night baby.

Great comment, you're absolutely right

Or depressed or anxious. It takes conscious effort and thought techniques to undo the thinking habits that can underlie this, and some people need medicine on top of that.
Sexual confidence is in a different category from just being in a good position in life.
[–]ALetterFromHome 15 points16 points17 points 10 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
This is inconsistent advice. Depending on the situation. It's likely you'll just come off as an asshole and she will move on to someone else.
This is kid's stuff. Girls over 25 are not going to respond positively to these kind of games.
[–]geft1 points 10 years ago* [recovered] (6 children) | Copy Link
Girls over 25 wont play games in the first place. She either gives her number or doesn't.

It's not that black and white. Every person and situation is different.
[–]DrManagoni 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
So some girls over 25 may respond to the games then? Since every situation is different.
[–]Ironchar 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Read his post history, he's a fake. He sounds really unhappy and miserable. Work on inner game before pledging yourself to the red pill.

I, too, played childish games when I was in middle school.
[–]getRedPill 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
While it's true this might work, in first place you should be aware this works only on some type of girl. The kind isn't that worthy in first place. She is like sugar, sweet the first seconds but then cloys your tastes and finally becomes harmful for your health.
Secondly and more important, you should do this, yes, but not because but not because of her, but because of you, your self-esteem. Whether you are avoiding a bigger head-ache or childish games.
[–]Woujo 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm tired of people giving advice as if they were general laws based on something ONE GIRL did. Every girl is different. yes, some girls will become attracted to you if you ignore them. Those girls are usually shitty and have low self-esteem. And girls who play these games will usually turn it right back on you once you start to like them. You're not going to catch anybody impressive with this tactic.
Also, getting a hug and a number is not something worth writing a post about.
[–]recyclablebanthas5 points 10 years ago* [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link
For this to work you need to first build a strong connection before trying this.
So I was talking to this girl at school, we got a long really well so I asked for her #. She said she doesn't give it out so easily.....
This isn't a strong connection. This is superficial banter at best.
I started ignoring her for the last 2 weeks because I have abundance.....
.....today I was walking to my class than she gave me the biggest hug infront of everyone in my class.......She gave me her number before she left.
So you see what happened here? She didn't want you when you were being normal and reachable. (Which is, by no means, needy.) That means she wasn't really attracted.
Then she wanted you after you "ignored" her. So what gives?
So I realised ignoring a girl really makes her miss you a lot. She starts thinking about you more, and probably puts you on a pedestal.
Nope.
What you did was activate interest based on the thrill of the hunt. Can you see the potential problem there? She's only showing interest when you're pushing her away. The interest is not based on who you are as a person.
This might be okay if you wanted a one off fling or a fling with a shelf life, but it won't work for anything longer. Because she'll need consistent distance in order for the chase to be enough to attract her.
You won't be free to be yourself if you want to stick around. Of course it's great if you don't want to stick around. All you need to do to end it in those cases, is basically stop playing games. The moment you stop, she'll be out.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I see were you are coming from and you make some interesting remarks, but there are just too many assumptions.
I don't think anyone is that one-dimensional that you can predict them just by three sentences.
You shouldn't constrain yourself there and just see how the whole thing develops.
[–]Moderatorrecyclablebanthas 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
First off, OP dropped more than 3 sentences.
Secondly, this is extremely non-controversial. This is what push-pull does. It builds attraction by keeping the girl at a distance, which makes her chase. That attraction ends without the games. Period.
If it's solid enough to stand without the games, that's fine but then you wouldn't have needed the games in the first place.
What were you reading? No one was talking about constraining anything. Of course, OP should see what's what.
But facing the limitations of certain seduction techniques is valuable.
Push pull is great for disposable interactions, but not solid, serious ones. Period.
[–]Tentaye 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hmm. Good advice. Now all I need are tutorial on how to build string connections and we are go.
[–]average_latino 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The first step to getting someone to miss you is to get gone in first place.
[–]AttractandSeduce 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
True story. For those who haven't tried this technique, It works BEST if you do it AFTER she has already EMOTIONALLY invested in you.
If you do it BEFORE, it's not much of a big deal to her.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't get it. You can't be friendly despite not getting a number? This sub is supposed to make you more confident. I think you're confusing that with arrogance and hostility.
[–]Speedingscript 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Usually a girl pulling this shit is going to ignore you when you give in so she can feel better about herself.
I've met plenty of girls like her. Be nice, don't be rude and even greet her if she says hi, just don't ever get in her game. Trust me, I have punched myself a lot of times bc of this. Totally not worth it.
[–]Fly_MartinZ 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Where was there a strong connection built between you and the girl from class? I missed that part...

I can vouch for the opposite, never be "in love" with an ex who doesn't care the same for you, or she never will.
