“I’m Surprised You’re…”

November 17, 2008 by CH

Here is a quick and effective one-liner/neg to toss out that will instantly raise your value with the girl you like. It’s easy to remember, versatile, and virtually betaproof.

“I’m surprised you’re [wearing those shoes].”

You can fill in the brackets with anything you notice about her. For example:

“I’m surprised you’re [wearing that color scarf].”

Naturally, the girl will follow up indignantly with something like:

“Why? What do you mean?!”

You’ll want to calibrate the sting of your reply to her beauty. If she’s an 8 or above, go harsh:

“Your colors don’t match. Unless that was the look you were going for.”

If she’s lower than an 8, soften the edges:

“Oh, nothing. It’s a unique choice. It takes some courage to pull that off.”

Occasionally, you’ll come across a girl who will challenge your rude observation with a response like this:

“Yeah, well, I love these shoes. I’m surprised you notice stuff like that.”

If she gives you flak, don’t sweat it. You’re in! A testy girl is an intrigued girl. You’ve nudged her out of the indifferent zone into the shit test zone. Consider this a troop advancement.

    I agree that you need to tailor this to the girl, but I’d stay away from dropping this on the best looking girls, unless they really are wearing something that looks ugly. I’d say this works on girls in the 7 range. They’re cute and begging for affirmation, but without the absolute confidence in themselves better looking girls have — it’s easy to take them down a notch and play self-esteem games with them. You’ll instantly boost your status and scoring chances. Girls in the 8.5+ range are already obsessive about fashion and their appearance. You’re likely to make yourself look like an idiot getting into a fashion fight about something, unless you’re gay, you are likely to know far less about than the girl. Probably works better on American girls in the 8.5+ range than on European girls, given the formers’ relative lack of sophistication and knowledge in the way they dress.

    Metrosexual. A word that came out around 2002 to describe heterosexual men who have gay men’s sensibilities with regards to fashion, style, culture, etc.

    Typically thought of as effette, snobby, hipsterish, and usually urban. Heavy overlap with SWPL.

    Not bad — kind of retro, but solid.

    Let me share something with y’all from Tupac’s Trick Bag:

    The next time the girl you are working on is showing you photos of herself and her life, wait until she shows you a medicore picture of herself. Nothing *too* bad, but one that is definitely not her best.

    Pick up the picture, look at it closely, turn to look at her as if you’re studying her face, look back at the picture, and then with a deadpan face, say:

    “You photograph *really* well, you know that?”

    Then just get back to looking at the rest of the pictures as if nothing happened.

    I call this one the Silent Death Touch.

    It’s not for nothing that Ann Coulter called them “girly boys” when they had a collective pantie-piddle in response to her Charles-Martel-worthy post-9/11 column.

    2) it’s strange how NR is showing Obama craning his neck up. That’s no Alpha stance. The first thing they teach you in Army basic ttraiing is alpha body language. Of course, they don’t call it that. They call it “military bearing.” Same thing.

    I have always held in little regard the canned “opinion opener”. (And I hate the glittery Ed Hardy shirts favored by Pick Up Artists as well, but that is another story).

    Using a natural or free flowing opinion opener is a much better way to do it.

    A lot of Pick up Artist techniques are two rigid and lack flow.

    True G’s are more free flowing and organic.

    Its just like Martial Arts.

    Why give Obama time? He is after all a screw-up, his coalition is fighting, the Rezko corrupt crowd vs. his buddies the Ayers-Wright folks who want a concentration camp for un-cool people. Obama’s like a Dead Kennedy’s song come to life (California Uber Alles).

    Gender issue: The more Obama preens and poses and the Media and women worship him, the greater risk he runs of male jealousy and hatred. Caesar, Joseph Smith, Douglas MacArthur, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Russell Brand all felt varying degrees of male jealousy as they preened as an idol/rockstar.

    Men don’t like other men who prance around too much being worshiped. Bush’s genius was hiding his Aristo upper class background behind a fake good-old-boy facade.

    For a pick-up line, I would say it depends on the guy as much as the girl. The “I’m surprised” bit might taken to opinions about sports, weather, predicted economy, things like that where you can take an opposite tack to her own viewpoint but not on things like politics or religion. You demonstrate independence and contrariness, but nothing relating to her core opinions. Comments on clothes most men just can’t get right. Russell Brand plays “gay” but that works only for his celebrity stuff. Most guys could not pull that off or want to.

    “Typically thought of as effette, snobby, hipsterish, and usually urban. Heavy overlap with SWPL.”

    First off, MPM I would assume knows what the term means, but being a man of style, he probably doesnt respect how its been used in common exchanges.

    Second, I disagree with your description. Hipsters are not the same as metrosexuals. They might be overly concerned with fashion or their appearance, but by and large they are a different group. “Metros” are more about nice clothes, have high disposable incomes, gelled hair, fake bake, etc. Hipsters are much more likely to wear thrift store clothes, be poor, and if they do care excessively about their appearance, its in a manner to make it look like they dont. I would disagree that there is much overlap with the SWPL set. Think David Beckham.

    Also, regarding MPM’s comments about canned routines, and his relating Game to Bruce Lee’s martial arts philosophy: Spot On, G.

    Guys who have popularity do so because they form patronage/teaching networks. The highest form PUA can have lots of male friends as long as he does two things: teaches guys how to get women, and lay off the intended of his male pals.

    Two simple rules, build power. The problem of men is cooperation, that patronage solves it.

    Chic I’m not sure if you’re serious or not. Bush came out of Yale and Harvard. That’s pretty aristocratic. Most of his bad decision making was of the aristocratic University reasons (no canning of cronies, not fighting for his agenda, getting rid of dead wood or resistant subordinates).

    Obama is almost certain to be even WORSE than Bush. His radical politics, corrupt machine experience (without being an enforcer like Truman), and reliance on largely female worshiping of him as First Rockstar is sure to breed male resentment without building male patronage networks. He doesn’t get how to relate to blue collar and average white collar guys — only high-income aristocratic radicals like Ayers (heir to the Commonwealth Edison fortune).

    I mean, wow, big surprise most of how men relate to each other is based on moderating competition over women. I’m shocked!

    Most of his bad decision making was of the aristocratic University reasons (no canning of cronies, not fighting for his agenda, getting rid of dead wood or resistant subordinates).

    I’m not looking to male logic to explain female behavior, but one thing I do know for sure is that the WORST way to understand women is by taking radical feminists seriously. I read her snarky points, they just boil down to “Any criticism of me and my lifestyle is automatically invalid and the sign of a weak man who hates women and wants us barefoot and pregnant and oppressed in the kitchen all day.”

    Sites like jezebel can’t EVER admit that radical feminism is anything except a utopia for women, no matter how many commenters seem coincidentally unable to find happy companionship. That article had no interest in coming to grips with any truth, all it cared about was exonerating feminism, avoiding any accountability and justifying not changing.

    Good article by mainstream media standards. She imagines the typical ‘SYM’ to be way more bitter than he actually is though – it’s a matter of sampling bias, with only the angry ones writing letters.

    From the game forums I’ve read and guys I’ve talked to, it’s nearly always an innocent admission of failure with women with the desire to improve.

    She frames feminism as the cause of game, when it’s really just an enabler. Game is the result of studying what works with women. Darwinism grounds and unifies it, but do you think it adds that much independently? It’s hard to tell.

    Oh, and as for PUA II, the coolest dude on the show is a starving actor – Greg Fellows, look him up.

    for what it’s worth, i’m very glad guys have learned game. yes, i get tired of hearing the same shit over and over from guys who want to read my palm, guys who bet they can guess my birthday, and guys who ask me to tell him whether he’s taller than his poor sap wingman friend.

    in my view, what game has done is give guys who would otherwise lack the courage to approach women a logic-based routine they can learn to give themselves confidence (or build up what they had already). the result is that guys who would have had a shot with a girl but who were otherwise too shy to approach are now getting themselves in there. 🙂 it’s like ballroom dancing for guys who have no natural skill. they learn the routine and fake it until they build up enough confidence to make it, but as women we’re thrilled bc we get a guy to join us on the dance floor who would have otherwise sat out altogether.

    but let’s be real. while i acknowledge that solid game can ‘mess’ with a girl’s head and get her intrigued, in the sense that she’s hearing something different from you than from the other 10 guys who tried to get in her pants that night, she made up her mind as you approached whether you were worth fucking. +/- 5% that you change her mind, since i’m feeling generous today.

    As a very attractive 24 year old woman, I can tell you these “negs” do not work. Completely ineffective and worse, they make the guy seem socially inept. If I can have my pick of whatever man I want, why would I choose the socially inept guy? I want to be with and around the guy who is smooth, likable, and funny – the guy that everyone wants to be around and be seen with. If I was on the receiving end of this scarf-color neg, I’d immediately lose interest.

    Roissy and the readers of the blog just don’t seem to have a real grasp on what truly gets women. Have you guys even seen interactions between a very attractive woman and the guy she wants (“Alpha guy”)? He doesn’t make her uncomfortable in the least. None of the “Alphas” that I know would ever say a neg. Ever. If they’re going to comment on the scarf, they’ll say something nice about it. If they want to give the woman the impression that they don’t care about her looks, they’ll do it in a way that brings her other qualities to the surface of the conversation. But they would never so directly and shamelessly say something negative about her physical appearance. And remember: using a neg that involves physical appearance inevitably draws a wave of attention to your own physical flaws that women might not have noticed earlier.

    As for women that are above-average-and-below: maybe negs work. I can’t say. They would have to be annoyingly insecure.

    Bottom line: Negs do NOT work. unless the woman is not very attractive and/or annoying and insecure and you only want to sleep with her with no further commitment.

    Em says, “Bottom line: Negs do NOT work. unless the woman is not very attractive and/or annoying and insecure and you only want to sleep with her with no further commitment.”

    That’s kind of the point. A secure woman who’s comfortable with her sexuality, is out there already, picking a guy to spend time with. A woman who’s insecure and playing games with herself, is ripe for the picking by a guy with game.

    How we women gauge attractiveness, even if we’re bi or Lesbian, is different from how guys do most of the time. They’re happy with a hole, and if they can manage it, one that looks pretty, how ever they define that.

    In other words, “You are not a special and unique snowflake.”

    The only real difference between one woman and another is all between the ears, and if a guy isn’t looking for actual companionship, none of that matters at the moment. This doesn’t make men bad, it’s just part of what makes them men. It’s better to make peace with this reality than to entertain illusions that will only harm you in the end, and maybe them too if they’re made to feel guilty for being as nature made them to be.

    If you don’t like what you’re being offered, opt out. I prefer game over other things like actually lying to a woman that he wants a commitment when he doesn’t. I think it’s much more ethical to convince a woman that he’s worth shagging just for the experience, than it is to convince her that he’s going to stick around.

    * Kay Hymowitz rocks.

    * Hello has a Shakira butt? News like this can really make a guy’s morning.

    Three little bits of perspective? Since I seem to be the oldest commenter around here (whatever happened to Dougjnn?), I hope I also get to be the guy who conveys the occasional bit of perspective. Age isn’t a lot of fun — we dotards have to content ourselves with stuff like “perspective.”

    * “Game” in the sense of a highly-formulated, aggressive system is new. But in a looser sense it isn’t at all. Pre-’80s, there used to be something called “courtship,” as well as a related thing called “knowing how to treat a woman like a woman.” Look at Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and Bond movies — the negotiations that went on between gals and guys (and the open recognition that guys and gals are somewhat different and after different things) was just taken for granted, even in the broadest popular culture. These were aspects of a craft called “being a man.”

    * There are cultures that have never had the commonsense about sex and courtship knocked out of them, as white middle-class American culture seems to have. T/Ricky points out that many black guys have never lost the ability to come on to women in winning and attractive ways for example. In NYC, I see this all the time. Sometimes it’s crude and shocking, other times it’s really smooth and elegant. I remember an incident at a US Post Office. This harried but pretty whitegal got to the counter with her package … This nice-looking black guy was the employee … And he started bantering smoothly with her in a “Hey, pretty lady” kind of way. Absolutely fascinating the way she reacted. 1) Annoyance. 2) Indignation (as in “should I cry sexual harassment? Where’s the supervisor?”). 3) “Uh-oh, he’s a black guy, so I can’t shame him the way I could shame a white guy.” 4) “Actually he isn’t bad looking.” 5) “This flirtation is kinda fun.” In the course of two minutes he turned her from a nervous highstrung wreck into a luscious Woman with a Capital W, a purring kittykat. Made her day, as far as I could tell.

    3) Another culture that never lost its commonsense is the French. PC never caught on over there. Gals remain gals and guys remain guys. Like black American culture it’s a culture of flirtation — you get up in the morning looking forward to giving and receiving tingles and flirtation, and — who knows — maybe moving beyond that too. But there are huge diffs in how French guys and white American guys grow up. In the US, white American guys seem to think it’s shameful, maybe even faggy, to show an interest in sex, l’amour, flirtation, pursuit, poetry, etc, except maybe in the crudest Maxim form. It’s as though you aren’t really a guy unless you’re a snowboardin’, videogame-playin’ eternal 12-year-old, grossed out by girls. In France, you grow up — as a guy — looking forward to conquering la femme, to enjoying art and food … Nothing faggy about it at all — the whole love-sex-art thing is in fact an aspect of being macho winner, not a sleazy wuss. BTW, American blacks often find France quite simpatico. I wonder why.

    Check out the Choderlos de Laclos novel “Liaisons Dangereuses” (or the Stephen Frears movie of it, “Dangerous Liaisons”) for proof of this. It’s often referred to as “Machiavelli for love and sex.” These are people waging real sex-and-love campaigns against each other. Great novel, great film, btw. You’ll see all of “Game” right there in a novel from 1782.

    3. It used to be possible to be both “nice guy” and “sexy rascal.” A real, substantial man could be and was both, and knew how and when to switch roles. As far as I can tell from what gets said around here, one of the effects of feminism and PC is that young guys (at least young white American guys) are now divided up between the loser/nice-guy crowd and the winner/rascal crowd, with the first being desperate to learn a few of the skills the second have. Is this a fair impression? And what was it about feminism and PC that created this divide? Seriously, it didn’t used to be a big deal to have nice-guy and rascal as two easily-accessible parts of your personality. You could be depended on, but you could also turn on the heat and demand your fun.

    (All that said, American men whiteguys always been a little notorious for 1) not making the pursuit of women, love, sex, and poetry their main focus in life, and 2) being henpecked patsies for their bossy women …)

While im not as unnecessarily hostile to that site as you guys seem to be, I do think they need someone other than emotionally ruined, forever-single, bitter feminists posting on there – just as I’m always glad to see views on here other than “yeah Roissy! you are so right, dude!”. I’d love to see some truthspeak from the guys on here commenting on that site.

    Also, @ Em, Im not a big “neg” guy, and I wouldnt say Roissy advocates canned negs either. Its more about changing the frame so that you arent trying to gain approval of the girl, which too many guys end up doing because they are attractive or whatever. Girls always focus on the neg when they read about Game like they just CANT believe guys would do that, but they basically just misunderstand the whole philosophy behind it, which is not surprising. An effectively used ‘neg’ or some version of it is not obvious. Its subtle, and is mostly a playful way of flirting with a girl while showing her you arent trying to win her over. It also works wonders when used properly, which once again proves why guys shouldnt take advice from women.

    Even stranger is that white American men are so brainwashed that they are proud of being henpecked, and think people without bossy women are missing out. I’ve often seen white American men get lucky enough to meet a traditional foreign woman and proceed to turn her into a feminist upon dating her for “her own good.”

Now she is sassy and “independent,” cooks less than him, is into Sex and the City and is headstrong and fierce. Then he proceeded to mock the backwards men of her culture who were too insecure in their manhood to let her bloom the way he did. Then a bunch of other white guys in the comments chimed in with similar stories about how they were superior to foreign men in this respect too, and how they converted women of foreign cultures into American feminist women. I swear this was not tongue in cheek parody but 100% serious, it was on a blog I read years ago around 2004 but I can’t recall where now. I remember when reading it though that a lot of white American guys are not satisfied with just having ruined their own women, they are out to create a worldwide revolution and ruin other cultures’ women too.

    If negs really do “work wonders,” none of you guys are or are dealing with attractive, smart people. As I’ve acknowledged, it may indeed be effective among the less picky men and women.

    I wouldn’t mind it if someone ruined Muslim women, though. Would be far fewer martyrs out there if they got some poon.

    I once jokingly said that we should liberate the hot and moderately women of the Middle East, and indoctrinate them with our glorious liberal values depriving the Muslim men of what they squandered on playing Jihad.

    Hell, given how Iraq is turning out, we’ll probably end up importing the Christians…

    Em, again you miss the point and misunderstand. I agree to an extent that more insecure girls are more likely to be affected by comments that are more negative, but it depends on what the conversation is about. Guys have probably used “negs” on you, consciously or unconsciously, without you even thinking of it in that way, and you were likely into it. You cant tell me you only are into guys who come up to you and are just super complimentary and nice the whole time to you. Again, its called being playful, flirty. You are probably a blast to hang with.

    Elitist? Me?
    Definitely.

    But also nice. Just trying to steer you guys away from negativity, and thus, negs. I’ve had a line used on me recently, uncannily similar to the one in the original post, and it completely turned me off, though I wasn’t interested in him in the least to begin with. But any possible friendship where he could meet my friends was nipped in the bud. People who say negative things just aren’t welcome.

    Rick, there’s a difference between being playful and using negs. Oftentimes guys will use negs in what they think is a playful manner, but it just comes off as rude. Again, I’d suggest watching a real Alpha guy in action.

You admit to being elitist, you declare that you’ve taken it upon yourself to “steer us from negativity,” yet you frame your points in a way that is judgmental, superior and off-putting, pretty much guaranteeing more negative responses. You declare yourself more knowledgeable and enlightened than anyone else here without giving any concrete evidence of it outside of empty platitudes and declarations of how nothing works on you. You show that you misunderstand what a neg is by saying there is a difference between a neg and being playful.

    Em, what works for Alphas won’t work for betas. By Alpha, what I mean is either social hierarchy or raw natural superiority.

    The upper eschelon don’t need any of this advice. Who needs it is the moderately attractive to plain guy who hasn’t murdered anyone, and doesn’t deserve to be mistreated, but finds himself consistently getting the women who mistake him for a masochist, or none at all, or only the ones they don’t want for whatever reason.

    Granted, it is my personal opinion that one shouldn’t play a game in which they are a loser by default, but we’re not talking about careers or marriage in most of these guys’ cases. They’d just like some “hot” female company with as little drama as possible.

    To get that short term goal met, they have to learn to mock what they are not, or to work around the barriers that “hot” women put up because they feel that they are entitled to more than they really are.

    If you think about it, most of the women these guys would meet day to day either make the same or less money than they do, have the same or less education, and the same or less social status.

    I’m a firm believer in that self confidence comes from actual abilities and accomplishments. People can put up whatever front they like, but almost everyone I know who is insecure is so because they are living a lie, or they have things they did not earn, and hate themselves for it. Deep down, they know eventually the bubble’s going to burst.

    The PUA is a needle for that bubble.

    To me, it’s an interesting cultural phenomenon. Nobody in that crowd is or has ever been trying to get next to someone who looks like me, so I’m not personally affected by it.

    Thing is, in order to be the sort who is personally affected by that kind of thing, a woman has to be trying to be that. PUA is the modern American man’s _Cosmopolitan_ quiz. Like goes to like, and this is how nature works. Go with the flow.

    The only reason I add my voice to any of this is because I’ve been the fat friend in some of these scenarios, and it piqued my curiosity. Sometimes it’s nice to talk to some of the lions I admit to purposefully feeding some of my female acquaintances to on occasion.

    I also try to add some perspective from the unapologetic freak side. Adds flavor, and sometimes pisses people off…but sometimes we all need to be pissed off. Makes us think.

    Micheal Blowhard said In the US, white American guys seem to think it’s shameful, maybe even faggy, to show an interest in sex, l’amour, flirtation, pursuit, poetry, etc, except maybe in the crudest Maxim form. It’s as though you aren’t really a guy unless you’re a snowboardin’, videogame-playin’ eternal 12-year-old, grossed out by girls. In France, you grow up — as a guy — looking forward to conquering la femme, to enjoying art and food … Nothing faggy about it at all — the whole love-sex-art thing is in fact an aspect of being macho winner, not a sleazy wuss. BTW, American blacks often find France quite simpatico. I wonder why

    Nothing personal, but your original comment is just the sort of ambiguity that leads naive, idealistic men down the path to ruin. Women only appreciate the niceness as an afterthought to attraction, like icing on the cake.

    “Women only appreciate the niceness as an afterthought to attraction, like icing on the cake”

    And the guys here, of course, never ever appreciate niceness as an afterthought to looks, like icing on the cake, right?

    “Referring blithely to the cake itself as “je ne sais quoi” merely obscures what should be revealed”

    Charisma is often described thus, in vague terms because it is very hard to describe and quantify. BTW, true charisma is by definition rare and no even moderately intelligent woman expects that all, or even most men she meets will have it. One who does is an idiot.

    One more thought, Pac:

    “I haven’t totally given up on marriage…yet.”

    Is your marrying contingent on you fulfilling every fantasy your wife can have, and her seeing you as perfect? If so I advise you to totally give up on marriage. There are lots of women who work themselves into hysterics because they don’t compare to the porn stars their husbands and boyfriends watch. David Alexander aside most men don’t expect their partners to compete with fantasies, and despite what you believe there are women out there realistic enough not to demand perfection. Yes people are more and more picky every day but good ones are out there although you probably won’t find them in pick up joints.

    Dude, I like your psycho writing style interlaced with realism and insight but you really don’t have to be perfect.

    The difference is the men here are straight up and forthright about their desires.

    Are you suggesting a lot of guys you know are waiting in line for me?

    Maybe. Sometimes people get tired of waiting in line for the blockbuster and decide to jump over to the B movie.

    Is your marrying contingent on you fulfilling every fantasy your wife can have, and her seeing you as perfect?

    No, it’s contingent on her

    1) being hot
    2) remaining horny after marriage
    3) being somewhat sophisticated and intellectually compatible
    4) content with the subdued moments in our life as against the high points during our courtship
    5) capable of being a good mother to my future son

    In other words, not very likely.

    Are you familiar with the old joke:

    “Beautiful, intelligent, sane. Pick any two.”
