Surprisingly few men know how to flirt. (It’s surprising because, given the importance of flirting to evoking a feeling of incipient sexual release in a girl’s mind, you’d think evolution would have ensured a lot more men are skilled at the craft. I consider the absence of widely distributed flirting skills, particularly among northern europeans and asians, to be evidence that for much of mankind’s ancestral past the sex ratio was skewed enough in the typical man’s favor that he didn’t need to learn how to appeal to women’s romantic needs.)
But I digress. When girls ask simple questions, or when they engage in innocuous chit chat, it’s in your interest as a lover of positive, sexualized female attention to answer them in a flirty way. Training yourself to parry female small talk with unexpected flirtatious jousts is, at the least, great for honing your game, even when it doesn’t lead to a bang.
Here are some examples of what I’m talking about. I routinely employ these quips in my daily life anytime I hear an opening in some banal conversation that I happen to be having with a girl. These examples aren’t meant to be lifted verbatim, (although you may do that), but rather to serve as illustration of the type of mindset you should have whenever you interact with women. (Warning: do not use on fat chicks. They may get the wrong idea.)
GIRL: “What time is it?”
A good time.
GIRL: “You came in late today.”
Hard drug use.
GIRL: “Which way is it to [X]?”
You don’t seem like the kind of girl who’d go there.
GIRL: “How are you?”
Irresistible.
GIRL: “Could you watch my laptop for me for a minute?”
Ok, but close your porn windows first. I have a reputation.
GIRL: “What’d you think of [movie X]?”
All right… ready to hang on my every word?
GIRL: “Are you going to [X’s] party this Friday?”
Yes. You can be happy now.
GIRL: “What do you do?”
You didn’t just ask that.
GIRL: [in an elevator] “Could you press 4?”
This is just like in the movies!
GIRL: “My shift is ending soon. Can I close you out?”
Your flirting skills need work.
GIRL: “I think the coffee machine’s broken.”
Tried to put vodka in it again, didn’t ya?
GIRL: “Where’s your car?”
Tijuana.
GIRL: “That sounds like a good idea.”
Hey, it’s me!
GIRL: “It’s a really nice day today.”
Thanks!
GIRL: “That’s a cool hat.”
Flattery will get you everywhere.
GIRL: “Are you waiting in line?”
I’d better be. Otherwise I’m standing around looking good for nothing.
GIRL: “That’ll be $69.75.”
I bet you say that to all the guys.
Just kidding about that last one. Sort of.
Flirting with women ties into the whole alpha male philosophy of not taking girls seriously. Treating women’s idle politeness like a sounding board for you to amp up the sexual tension and remind your quarry that you are a highly libidinous, fleshy extension of your turgid cock is good for establishing proper and healthy male-female relations.
When you are flippant with women, they sense that you think you are better than them, and that turns them on. Women love a man who is better than them, but they will accept as a substitute a man who simply thinks he is better than them.

“hard drug use” is golden for tons of questions:
“Why didn’t you write back?”
“Haven’t seen you online lately.”
“How was your Easter?”
Thanks, that’s a keeper.

lol this is just DeAngelo’s cocky/funny concept. It’s good to refresh the basics though.
This is why people who bust on routines are dumb to me. Everyone has their own little routines. Hang out with any natural long enough and you’ll hear him repeat his same stories and jokes and comebacks. It’s not a big deal.
The trick is to be congruent with your routines and to understand the structure. Like why does it work and how can you rewrite it to fit your personality. A lot of routines that worked for me when I was a newbie don’t work for me now because they’re incongruent so cocky/funny comes off too arrogant. Same time sexual stories don’t have as much shock impact for me now because girls can just tell “ya this is a guy who would say things like that”.
Your game will never solidify if you go out enough and push boundaries, and that’s a good thing. Once it solidifies and you’re running the same interaction over and over you get bored and it becomes work. If you’re in that situation now, get out of it by pushing yourself further. Go for the kiss sooner, go for the lay sooner, go for the hottest girl, go for the 3-some, etc.

Even more rare: the combination of quick wits required to do this in real time, rather than in spaced-out comment posts.

And to see a woman neutralize it with real wit like you did is even more laugh-inducing. Most of the time IRL the man has to be witty enough for both, especially with young girls.

These are all great, but I think mostly girls you hardly know yet.

This is not to say that you should actually answer the question, but flirting is more common on a date, so you need to be even more shocking to what she expected.
For example, instead of “Hard drug use”, I sometimes say “Hookers and blow.”
GIRL: Hey! What have you been up to lately?
YOU: Hookers and blow
GIRL: What are your plans for later?
YOU: Hookers and blow
GIRL: What do you like to do for fun?

Even when it doesn’t lead to a bang! BINGO. This is called practice.

This creates an outcome independent mindset in which every single positive reaction is a success, rather than an eventual failure if it doesn’t get you laid. Each success cumulatively builds confidence.
This is what flirty bartenders or waitresses are perfect for. Practice. They will often flirt even if they are not interested, especially if you make it fun. Serious answers to questions are ‘boring’. Unexpected, unpredictable, funny answers are fun. Think of the opposite to the automatic answer to their questions and deliver it with a roguish grin.

Individual conversational examples like these aren’t just useful for their illustration of this broader principle of flirting. The individual examples like these are useful for putting into an open source spaced repetition software (SRS) program like Anki:
http://ankisrs.net/
If you’re not familiar with the spacing effect and the practice of spaced repetition that takes advantage of it, you can check out this article:
http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition
I’ll give a ridiculously short summary. If it sounds too good to be true…then check out the article. Essentially, humans forget in a remarkably predictable fashion, and we have learned how to counteract our natural propensity to forget with 90-95% accuracy over the long-term.
An SRS like Anki is essentially a digital flashcard program on steroids. It tracks each individual card using scientifically proven algorithms. You review things more often earlier on, and then less often later after the memories have been strengthened. (e.g. you would review a card the day you put it in, the next day, a few days later, a week or two later, then a month later, then several months later, and so on.) It is incredibly efficient as far as time is concerned, and, as long as you do your daily reviews, you will have 90-95% recall accuracy for whatever you put into your deck.
To the broader point we are getting. With an SRS deck, you could essentially create prosthetic alpha/charisma. You could make literally hundreds or thousands of cards with a girl’s banal statement on the front side, and the flirty response on the other side.
Here’s a card I made from Mad Men:
Random Dude who could be courting Don’s mistress: what do you do for a living?
Don Draper: I blow up bridges.
You could also make cards to quiz yourself on important attitudes, logistical techniques, or anything else seduction related. If you can’t see yourself saying these lines in real-life situation, then simply repeating them in your SRS program will increase the likelihood of you considering them a viable option in day-to-day contexts.

If you just drop responses/items into your SRS deck and review them normally, there is a chance that a significant portion of your responses/items won’t live to see the light of day due to their rapid maturing in Anki.
My solution is to purposely fail such cards on a daily basis for a week or several after adding them. This increases the likelihood that I’ll try it for real at least once. If you don’t try it at least once in a real situation and the card matures…you might never try it. If you try it at least once though…it becomes part of your real-time interaction arsenal.
After the purposely failing cards phase you can let it mature, but then don’t be afraid to randomly fail them again once in a while if you want to increase your likelihood of using them.
Another option is to have all such cards tagged, and then you can use the cram function and run through the list before or even at a party on a phone or ipod. Active production of such flashcards, I have found, sometimes puts me in a chatty mood.
I ambitiously wanted to go through and create an index of Heartiste’s archive of posts in SRS form…but I’m lazy and don’t have the time. Someone should totally do it and email the list of SRS items to him though…it would be an interesting way for him to monetize his content.

23 girls brawl over handsome boy
Ananova ^ | October 27, 2006 | Staff
Posted on 10/27/2006 11:22:17 PM by MadIvan
Police were called in Bulg
aria after a mass fight broke out between 23 teenage girls over a handsome male student.
The girls, aged between 15 and 18, used brass knuckles, chains and beer bottles to fight over the lad whose name was not revealed.
The girls, from the Bulgarian capital Sofia, agreed to fight it out and skipped school to meet up in a local playground in the Gorublyane district of the city.
Several girls suffered minor injuries and dozens of passers-by reportedly witnessed the incident.
But the alarm wasn’t raised until after the fight when a father of one of the injured girls called the police.
(The comments are funny too):
I wonder what the lad’s reaction was. Also, the winner, likely to be scarred and bruised, probably wasn’t particularly fetching afterwards.
Regards, Ivan
Oh yeah, any woman willing to use brass knuckles, chains, and broken bottles sounds like a winner even before the fight.

The patronage is only incidental. “Revoluzione” have to be funded, but ideas are the true fuel of the movement. Heartiste is the best articulator you have, as long as he doesn’t stray too much into his pseudoscientific hobbyhorses and keeps his poetic focus on observation/experience.
At some point you have to be ready for the scrutiny, and to take your lumps. Derbyshire is an excellent example of accidental courage and bad timing. A little bit of forethought, preparation, and caution can gird you for the “white hot lights.” Derbyshire stumbled into his moment because he has always been too arrogant to be disciplined or deliberate. Our webhost here has been the opposite: circumspect and purposeful. He just needs to kick his goals up to the next level. Half a decade in one paradigm is too long, particularly in the fleeting internet culture.
Truth is dynamite. You can blast mountains with it to clear a path, you can annihilate enemies in your way … or you can blow yourself to kingdom come if you are sloppy like “The Derb.” What a careless fool! Truthtelling is at least as much about preparing one’s audience to hear as it is being blunt.
You can applaud the truth of what Derbyshire said while castigating his premature recklessness for nearly suffocating the movement in the cradle with the “media frenzy [and] scrutiny” you mention. Be smart, fools! You’ve been entrusted with caretaking the truth, which has many enemies. Whether he did it strategically or earnestly, Lowry was absolutely right to swiftly purge. He did us all lovers of truth (philalethists) a favor.
Though it may be too late. Look at how the enemy is spinning it:
And Derbyshire colludes with the spin out of pique (or maybe it’s the chemo). He agrees we on the right are secretly racist, all but selling us out on the one cultural crime that keeps us marginalized in the ghetto, rather than taken seriously. By the left’s standards, we are racist. But we will never properly neutralize their Orwellian persecutions by indirectly acknowledging their standards to make ourselves feel better, as that miscegenating, limey atheist math-dork just did. Because he was caught off guard.
So keep your guard, and tell the truth wisely. Or you’ll be bumfuzzled and bemused by their carrot-and-stick methods when you find yourselves in their interrogation room: You are evil, but we will punish you less if you tactically agree with the characterization of your former brethren’s evil. They will find your treachery “almost refreshing.”
Truthtelling has become “racist” (the modern synonym of evil) because we are sloppy cowards about our dissemination of it. You don’t ask someone who has lived at night all his life to stare directly into a sunrise.

That’s frame control in action.

He doesn’t even stare them down or tell them to knock it off he’s just like “nahhhh…chomp chomp chomp”.

But it’s like it’s so completely not in his reality that the kicking contest could continue or escalate that he doesn’t even bother stopping eating his chips.
A lot of people would escalate this situation into something serious if they got involved (even by accident). This is part of why the guys who are like “my MMA buddy would kill you with his BJJ move in 2 seconds flat if you dared say THAT to him or his girl!!!!!!11111” should get out and put themselves in these situations more if they want to have an opinion on what would/wouldn’t work in a tricky situation.

All very calm and assertive (“nah, that’s not happening”) but dominant. If he approached staring the dog down the dog would interpret it as a threat and he’d trigger an attack.

The money quote:
“““““““““““““““““
Here’s a simple, pronoun-heavy sentence: I don’t think I buy it.
Ooh. You just revealed something about yourself in that statement. Why did you say “I don’t think I buy it” instead of “I don’t buy it” or even “That’s ridiculous”? Pronouns tell us where people focus their attention. If someone uses the pronoun “I,” it’s a sign of self-focus. Say someone asks “What’s the weather outside?” You could answer “It’s hot” or “I think it’s hot.” The “I think” may seem insignificant, but it’s quite meaningful. It shows you’re more focused on yourself. Depressed people use the word “I” much more often than emotionally stable people. People who are lower in status use “I” much more frequently.
““““““““““““““““““
Summary: Hot girls talking to each other always say, “I this, I that.” Listen to how hot chicks talk to each other, always saying “I think” in response to their friends chit chat about, “I think this or that.” This offers a great opportunity to go up to a group of hot chicks and explain how silly and self centered they are. Can’t wait to try it.

Proceed with good-natured bullshit and as she leaves with her drinks tell her to have a nice life, knowing she’ll be telling her friends about you in a few seconds. Pull this off a few more times and later on, when she and her friends are more tipsy, opportunities abound.

[heartiste: present-day wussy populations (hi swedes!) suffered male bottlenecks in ancestral times due to hunting mortality, resulting in a skewed sex ratio that favored men. at least, that’s the theory i’ve read. as for why these long-ago hunting peoples have become so wussy today, well, it’s likely civilization, religion and enforced monogamy have had a domesticating effect.]

“I consider the absence of widely distributed flirting skills, particularly among northern europeans and asians, to be evidence that for much of mankind’s ancestral past the sex ratio was skewed enough in the typical man’s favor”
It could also be due to their women’s low testosterone levels.
Low female testosterone = low female promiscuity = low payoff to male flirting skills.
Low female promiscuity = less females spreading their legs for alpha seed = less alpha babies = less alpha society = wusses.
However, wuss societies all have a higher standard of living for males & females. Hello Japan! The problem comes when wuss societies get lazy & import folks to do their work. Hello Sweden!

That’s all true, but it doesn’t work as an explanation for poor contemporary flirting skills – it didn’t happen significantly more than in areas where men are raised with game.

Don’t dumber females “lie” by default when asked to quantify things like partner count, etc. because they lack the capacity to quantify as precisely? They have a “shifting” (deceptive) definition of what counts and what doesn’t. I doubt very much smarter women have this problem and more accurately report.
[heartiste: in my personal experience — admittedly not scientifically robust but large enough in sample size to draw some conclusions — smart chicks are promiscuous outside of serious relationships, and even within LTRs they will cheat once in a while. dumb chicks value monogamy more but are more impulsive and will do stupid things that ruin LTRs for them. in contrast, smart chicks tend to be able to cheat without killing their LTRs. smart chicks are also WAY kinkier in bed than dumb chicks. this is no contest. smart chicks love getting off, dumb chicks love the feeling of love. related, smart chicks are more likely to have sex toys.
as for men, well… strictly conjecture based on second hand info, but i do think smart men are more interested in monogamy and LTRs than are dumb men. however, the greatest players and seducers are typically very smart men.]

scene from the last episode of game of thrones.
theon greyjoy is returning home after being away ten years. he disembarks a boat and is looking for a ride to his father’s castle. a girl walks up to him.
girl: i’m heading that way. i can take you there.
theon (looking her up and down slowly): i bet you can.
girl: you been at sea long? or were there just no women where you came from?
theon: none like you.
girl: you don’t know what i’m like.
theon: maybe you don’t know what you’re like. maybe you need someone to teach you.
theon: do you know who i am?
girl: do you think i offer free rides to every man, lord greyjoy?
next scene, they’re riding two-up on a horse. he’s behind her with his hands on her waist.
theon: you should give me the reins. i’m a better rider than you. i’ve been on horseback for the past nine years.
girl: nine years? do you still know your way around a ship?
girl (takes his hand and looking at it): have these hands ever touched a rope?
theon (pulling his hand out of her grip and putting it down the front of her shirt): don’t you worry about my hands. the sea’s in my blood.
girl (clearly aroused by his squeezing and massaging): your blood will be in the sea if i don’t watch where i’m going.
theon (retracts his hand, shoves it down the front of her pants, and starts stroking): i have a proposal for my father. one that will make him king again. and me after him. you may get to stay in a castle tonight if you’re lucky.
girl (turns her head back towards him, breathing heavily): is that an offer from my future king?
theon: an order from your future king.
theon: you can tell your grandchildren about this night.
girl: i don’t imagine it’ll be a story fit for children.

he doesn’t fuck close. in the next scene, it’s revealed that she’s his sister. he didn’t recognize her because he’d been away so long, but she knew who he was the whole time.
proof that game works on everyone.

This is actually a very timely post for me. I happen to work in close quarters often with women 1 on 1, some very attractive, and while I have definitely changed my mindset in dealing with them, the mechanics knowledge is lacking.
I do the gentle tease/hump busting (get your mind out of the gutter) kind of dialogue, but even I realize that can get old fast if you don’t mix it up. I like the mix of examples because it moves back and froth between mildly flirtatious to just flippant banter.
Question I have is, the nature of the work we do means we spend time interacting, then while in the same room concentrate on different tasks for a while. Should I limit the amount of times I initiate any conversation? The reason I ask is it seems if I initiate just to hit the ball back as it were, it comes across as trying too hard.
I am actually married, but I am interested in both learning Game skills on general principle, and for making it clear to my spouse that in the end, I DO have options, and she should behave accordingly. I am waiting for the next company holiday party to show the wife who I work with to firmly implant that in her head.
