This reader is very proud of his text game,
I just had a text exchange I am so proud of that I couldn’t help but share it with you. Feel free to post it if you’d like, but please don’t use my name. Thanks.
Girl: Level of disappointment from a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the break up of the beatles and and 1 being the break up of the spice girls
Girl: …of me possibly rescheduling our rendezvous to next week
Me: Is this a trick question? I loved the spice girls
Girl: Nevermind. Ill see you Thursday
How alpha is this reader’s text reply? On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being STEVE MOTHERFUCKIN MCQUEEN alpha, and 1 being Hugo Schwyzer situational alpha which fails the second he walks out of a roomful of deranged feminist coeds, I would rate his reply an 8.
An 8 means the reply is more than serviceable; it actually boosts his alpha cred a little. But what prevents the reply from reaching the exalted heights of 10dom is the springboard from which it was launched. You see, a truly alpha text message is one that careens out of nowhere, takes a girl by surprise, and instantly moistens her cortical ham for further romantic interaction. But this reader’s reply came on the heel of a very turgid message from the girl; a message so long-winded and carefully constructed that a third party reading it would come to the easy conclusion that she already harbored strong feelings for this reader.
Evidence shows the reader was operating from a position of prior alphatude, a fact which docks a couple points from the alpha score of his text reply. It was a fine reply sir, but like virtue free of the temptation of vice, alphaness is easy when it isn’t being tested by female aloofness.
Christ in fucking heaven–if you always feel under the gun to be absolutely as alpha as possible are you really alpha?

Kinda try-hard funny beta, but I guess it worked. Still not nearly as good as the old: ‘gay’ standby. I think expressing emotion that she’s wasting your time (in a non-butthurt way) is important. My time is valuable, and she isn’t. By just trying to be funny, it’s like you don’t value people sticking to commitments.
In short, swings too far towards court jester and away from alpha man of value.

Self-deprecating humor is okay. It’s essentially “I suck.” It’s a step up from “you suck,” which is snark, but it’s a step down from “here is a fun and unique perspective.”
Ellen:

That’s just funny.
Self-deprecation/Snark are humor-by-way of sub-communicating value. That’s why they hit or miss. If you have value, people will laugh at both your self-deprecation and snark. Otherwise, they will think you lack confidence or are possessed of spite.
LikeLike
Generally men should avoid self-deprecation and women should avoid snark. I’m never snarky to guys I’ve just met. They have to be good friends.
I would never recommend self-deprecating humor to an unattractive girl. It only works if you have obvious high value. It works very well in longer-term flirting (vs loud club pickups) and if you do it in a funny, positive way…. the same way guys should be using snark.
LikeLike
Non high value people should just avoid them both lol. Although, if you must…my favorite type of that is the apparent snark that turns into self-deprecation.

Look folks, a lot of you sound like you don’t even game. Or understand the basics of male-female social dynamics. When a girl is truly “in control”, she doesn’t write novellas to a man explaining how she might… MIGHT… have to cancel. She just cancels. The chick digged him, and was looking for him to put her in her place.
LikeLike
My guess is she isn’t sure about him at this point. If she was crazy about him, she wouldn’t have cancelled, unless she had no choice. If she didn’t feel that he was a possibility, she would have just cancelled. I would say he handled this well.

Oh…..CH already addressed these concerns.
Lara —
There’s a wide gulf between ‘not into you’ and ‘crazy about you.’ If the former = 0 and the latter = 100, the level you have to be for a girl to sleep with you is probably like, 50-60. So yeah, if she was ‘crazy about him’ she would have done everything.
However, 0% game is necessary when they are ‘crazy about you.’ Here, he’s probably at around 60…so ya, some game is still necessary, but it’s not like he’s at 20.

For many commenters here, an alpha is conceived of as an apotheosis of masculinity who has transcended game and can simply command any woman he fancies to drop to her knees and suck his cock thanks to his overwhelming alpha essence. Hence all the “herp derp if you’re alpha why are you asking for advice?” and “if you’re so alpha, how come she is even thinking about flaking?” comments.
Alphas game. Even super alphas have to put in some work to fuck hot bitches on a regular basis. And many readers here are greater betas or lesser alphas trying to take their game to the next level. So enough of this “I just tell women how it is and that’s that because I’m alpha as fuck” posturing.

Glad to help. There’s a post somewhere in the archives about the level of game you need vis a vis a girl’s SMV. In general, if the girl is 2 points below you, you need 0%, if the girl is 1 point below, you need 50%, and if she’s at your level or above, you need 100%.
It’s helpful to think of game adding points to your passive SMV. So like, when you are a 6 and you approach a 6, you’d be at 0 = not into you. You use some game, and eventually you get to the 40-50 “zone” = ‘I’d maybe sleep with you.’ This is equivalent to the 6 now thinking you’re a 7, based on your game….so you still need game to seal the deal. Once the chick is in love with you, or close to it, then you can do no wrong (barring major fuckups), and the 6 now believes you are an 8.
Kind of a nerdy way to connect everything, but it makes sense to me.

Can somebody give me some pointers on this. My GF is smoking hot, easy 9, we have a great relationship in all aspects and 95% of the time I am very happy. The problem is that she is very jealous of other girls talking to me etc. Two recent examples:
1) Went out with a group of her friends to play Quizzo. Before we even met up we were talking on the phone and she said “Jen is bringing her friend Liz, you’ll think Liz is hot and break up with me”. We have a great time and are walking back to her place and she keeps asking me if I think Liz is hot (she is). I agree and amplify and she ignores the joking and keeps asking and asking saying she wants a serious response. I say “yeah, she’s decent” and she flips out on me and calls me a scumbag, etc. She eventually apologized, but it annoys me when she does stuff like this.
2) I have a female friend (Laura) who is roommates with my best friends fiance. Laura is a cool chick, a 5, not hot at all, and is treated as one of the guys. I have no romantic interest in her at all. My GF will say things like “Youre in love with Laura” and gets mad when I hug her hello or she hangs out with everyone. She says that Laura is “rude” to her. I just joined Instagram b/c my phone just got upgraded. Laura had broken her phone and joined Instagram too. I didnt find out until I got this text message from my GF

Your girl likes drama and your smooth-sailing relationship doesn’t provide enough of it so she creates it. If it wasn’t this, it would be something else. Play along with it and laugh it off and don’t stress her being “upset”. Drama-types love being upset and experiencing the whole rollercoaster of emotions.
Whether its too MUCH drama for you is a personal choice, but I’ve had girls that constantly pick fights like this and I just use “agree & amplify” and tease them and then ignore them when they get mad and smooth it over next time we talk and joke about “oh no I’m in the doghouse now” etc. it’s just playful fun on my end even if she’s super dramatic serious about it. You’re the rock solid oak tree, she’s like silly little squirrel skittering about your branches.
Plus look at the alternative: her not giving a shit about other girls because she doesn’t think you’re attractive enough that they’d want you…where do you think THAT road leads? lol
Now if it’s too much drama for you and legit annoying, you can try using “Soft Next”s to train the behavior out of her:
http://www.pua-zone.com/showthread.php?5492-How-To-Soft-Next-Step-by-step-instructions-and-answers-to-questions
So in your situ the next time you ran into a scenario like #1 where she won’t drop it, you say “you’re being ridiculous. Goodnight babe” and walk and turn off your phone for the night. Then if she keeps going you can get into stuff like “this jealousy thing is annoying. I don’t like when you accuse me of shit you know I’m not doing.” so she knows why you’re Soft Next’ing and if she does it again, you Soft Next again, but for a longer period of time. Keep repeating this until either she stops the behavior or you’ve broken up lol
So the alternative to laughing off her silly jealousy is upping the stakes into more of a “might end the relationship” game…it’s up to you which you feel is a better option.

Try being a shittier boyfriend. She’s using other girls to get her drama fix because there’s nothing about you that she can start drama over so she has to use them. If you had no job she could start drama about how you need to get a job. If you neglected her she could start drama about how you neglect her.
This particular girl has a need for X amount of drama. If she was a housewife in the past, she would get that fix by watching soap operas and gossiping about the neighbors lol. She probably watches reality TV.
Think of it kind of like someone with anger issues having a need to be violent. You don’t care what you’re hitting as long as you’re hitting something…if someone doesn’t give you a reason to hit them, you’ll FIND a reason and pick a fight to get your fix.
Now get that guy a punching bag and he can safely vent his violent rage out on that, instead of forcing him to bottle it up and explode on the people around him.
Your girl is currently venting her need for drama in an extremely safe and not-inconvenient way, by being jealous of other girls because she doesn’t want to lose you. That’s a helluva lot better way to vent her need for drama than alternatives like reaming you out for not making more money or cheating on your or picking fights for you with dudes over her etc.
I would just laugh it off and treat it as “awwe she’s jealous, that’s cute, c’mere babe”. Not all girls have a big need for drama (tho the hotter ones tend to), but you’ve picked one that does. If she’s 95% awesome and it’s ultimately not that big of a hassle then fuck it lol

One of my current girls is super high-drama. Probably the most I’ve dealt with in my life. But it’s in that same “you like her more than me I bet, you should just go fuck her, whatever, we’re done, just delete me” way. At first it was more than I’m used to (the past couple years I’ve had a string of extremely low/non-existant-drama girls, so it blindsided me), but I’ve handled it the way I describe and it works out fine.
Plenty of our conversations go like this:
Me: “ya, I’m going to sleep.”
Her: “no, YaReally, I’m really upset about this!!”
Me: “lol it’s fine babe.”
Her: “whatever, you don’t even care”
Me: “lol goodnight babe.”
Her: “you’re probably fucking one of your whores”
(5 min later)
Her: “fine then ignore me, fuck you!”
(30 min later, while I am fast asleep or busy working or whatever)
Her: “whatever just so you know I’m deleting you”
Her: (sends screenshot of my name missing in her address book lol)
Her: “have a nice life YaReally”
A lot of guys would read that and be like “holy fuck what a shit-show, Next that psycho” but the reality is that 1) she’s super fucking hot, heads turn everywhere she goes, guys at the bar have bowed down to her Wayne’s World style as she walks by lol, 2) aside from this little need for drama she’s pretty awesome and has some rare qualities that I like,
and most importantly 3) I understand now that she’s just doing this because she needs drama and I’m a super low-drama chill guy so I don’t provide any drama. That was fine with the low-drama girls I was with, but this one will scrape and claw trying to pick a fight just to get her fix. So I give it to her in little doses that I don’t mind, like stopping txting her. I KNOW she’s going to barrage me with “fine then fuck you” and “have a nice life!!” drama and get herself all worked up over there, and that’s just cute/funny to me. Like a little frustrated puppy working itself up and pouting lol
Then the next day I just txt silly shit to smooth it over and she puts up a bit of a fight and then we’re good again…that usually looks something like:
Me (waking up to her angry txts): “o man I’m in trouble now. but I only went to sleep so I could start dreaming of you sooner babe! ❤ ❤ ❤ lol"
Her: "whatever. who's this?"
Me: "the creepy guy hiding in your bushes watching you shower this morning."
Her: "NOT funny YaReally. I'm really pissed at you."
Me: "fine then, I WON'T dream about you anymore!"
Her: "not amused."
Me: "that makes once of us, you should see how much I'm lol'ing over here"
Her: "I hate you"
Me: "You hate that you love me."
Her: "lol no…"
Me: "Yesss, a lol, back out of the doghouse! When's our wedding?"
And then we're back to normal and she's back to doting on me like I'm the greatest thing she's ever seen in her life. The fast 180 from "I'm mad!!" to my diffusing the drama and her returning instantly to lovey-dovey mode is one of the things that helped me figure out what was going on under the surface with this.
One of the guys I learned bits of this mentality from was a natural with a girl who would always get pretend-upset at him. In person would just keep agreeing & amplifying and teasing and assuming she still likes him until he'd start going "Don't smile, whatever you do, don't smile or I'll know you don't hate me" and inevitably she would crack a little smile and be like "fuck I hate you 😀 :D" and it was all good from there.
Note that the whole time through those kind of exchanges, she's not ACTUALLY mad and doesn't ACTUALLY hate me…she's more frustrated than anything, that I won't give her the attention she wants/expects so she ups the stakes waiting for me to crack and be all "awwe babe what's wrong? I'm sorry 😦 :(" so she can get her big drama fix out of me. But I just feed her a little bit of drama (like ignoring her txts) and diffuse that bomb in a safe location like giving the angry guy a punching bag, and keep my cool the entire time and look at it as just silly girly shit.
Also note that the whole time I'M not riled up. I legit just think it's cute now. It doesn't phase me at all, and at no point am I worried that she'd actually ditch me for something that dumb, because I know I'm attractive to her.
And finally note that this is no trouble to me at all. This goes back to the idea that a lot of guys would get any kind of hassle from a girl and be like "this is too much work, NEXT!!!!" but I don't care at all. It's not work or hassle to me to deal with this, it's just natural flirting. A few txts out of my day, a funny little exchange, and it's back to normal. No other guy she's met can handle her this way, so I don't have to worry about her banging other guys because all of them would fail at these exchanges and get sucked into her drama and obliterate themselves. Part of what she loves is that I consider myself high enough value to say "lol I have to work babe, have a good day" and stop replying when she's trying to get my attention.
Anyway, have fun with it. It tends to be part & parcel with being with a super hot girl…in terms of WHY they love drama, a shitty low-value girl has plenty of drama: she can't pay her rent, her boyfriend is shitty, she has daddy issues, she doesn't live the life she wants, she can't afford to go out with her friends, her friends talk shit about her and fight with her, etc. etc.
Now take a 10? Where's the drama in her life? Everything she does, no matter how bad or shitty it is, is PERFECT, to everyone around her. She could create a baby-grinding factory and every guy around her would go "what an entrepreneur, there really WERE too many babies around, I'm glad someone's doing something about it!" Even her best friends will let her treat them like shit and tell her it's okay, because she's beautiful and the world is at her feet. Can't pay her rent? That's cool, 10 rich dudes at the bar will offer to do it for her. Want a new job? Don't even have to wear a push-up bra and that job is yours if the interviewer is male. Every boyfriend she's ever had has been terrified to make her feel bad in any way so they just nod and agree with her about everything.
So how does she get her drama fix? Reality TV and picking silly little fights like this with her guy, and being relieved that her guy is alpha enough to handle those little fights and not be scared off or supplicate to her. He's basically handing her a punching bag and going "lol go ahead babe, let it all out, it's cool." and she loves him even more for subconsciously understanding.
Hope that helps put it in perspective. Again you can try Soft Nexts to weed the behavior out, but really it's not that big a deal and not something I would Soft Next over, personally. I actually look at it as good training for solidifying my own frame and generally thickening up my solid oak tree mentality of being unable to be shaken by this stuff. If I can handle a tiger like this like it's no big deal, a kitten doesn't stand a chance lol

I used to act like this a lot. It’s sh*t testing mixed with genuine insecurity. I’ll tell you what worked on me. Get angry.Tell her you’re not doing anything wrong and she needs to cut the crap. Tell her you obviously think she’s hot, she’s your girlfriend. Tell her to learn to control her insecurity bs because you’re not putting up with it anymore.
I think it’s important to throw in the reminder that she’s hot, but stay pissed off about being indirectly accused of something you’re not doing (flirting). She’ll cry but she really needs you to lay it down that she’s being ridiculous. And if she does it again, cut her off and completely ignore her for a while.
The LAST thing you want to do is placate her, soothe her, etc. Avoid this at all costs, even after you yell at her.

So I’ll let her start a little drama in a safe way and just amuse myself with it. But now and then I’ll get “angry” with her and bitch her out and scold her and ignore her for a couple days. I’m never actually worked up, I just know that she needs that now and then. I learned this from a high-drama Natural buddy of mine who loooooves bitching his girls out lol. It’s not really my thing, I tend to go for low-drama girls, but right now I’m seeing a high-drama one and I’m playing around with this. She loves every second of it.

It’s a GOOD thing for her to cry now and then, as long as it’s in a safe consequence-free scenario like this (vs just being an abusive asshole lol).
Think of it like taking your dog for a run around the block lol. If you don’t, he’ll have too much pent up energy and be annoying in the house. Take him to the park on a nice safe leash and run around with him for a bit and let him get it out and you’ll have a nice happy dog. Being terrified to let your girl cry when she needs drama is like being terrified to let your dog be tired or sweat when you take him for a run.

Just the obligatory reminder for the “gay” crowd:
Good game is about what progresses things forward to sex, not what would sound cool to tell your buddies. “I just txted her back “gay” like a boss” “awesome so did you bang her?” “well she didn’t respond…” “I’d just txt “whatever”, totally own that bitch with my alphaness!!”
Dude’s txt passed her shit-test and she kept the original date instead of flaking. The only thing he could’ve done better is sent a txt that got her to come over and suck his dick literally right then and there. Dude SHOULD be proud of how he handled it. She asked a “here are your possible answers” question and he shit all over answering her.
And as usual: the “gay” stuff only works once you have high-value to her. And it’s not fun, which is a part a lot of guys miss out on in seduction, being and having fun. The 18yo hottie with 10 dudes txting her all day generally isn’t going to give a shit if a 30yo dude she hasn’t fucked txts back “gay”. The 35yo near-the-wall woman with limited options? Sure, SHE will…but there’s nothing alpha about not being fun lol

Alpha for several reasons, including:
Took it out of her frame. He did NOT provide a logical answer, did not take her question seriously.
Kept it amusing. It is amusing because who is going to imagine a straight, alpha male claiming that they loved the Spice Girls?
Never directly answered her question. At all. Just gave some hamster fuel.
So, a 4 winning element combo in 1 reply:
Kept his frame intact, and didn’t swerve into logical beta territory.
Kept it funny.
Blew off the shit test portion of it.
Kept it short (shorter than her by a significant margin).

Someone,
Yes, the one thing I see here is a overlapping of “game” and “Alpha”. If Alpha is a man with options, then clearly with all do respect to other commentators, responding by just flipping the scale isn’t alpha, its game. A man with options doesn’t care if she asks to flake, he NEXTS that situation, if she comes back… she comes back……
Its clear this txt exchange is a shit test and not a real question, or good reason to “dissappoint”. If you know her and have established a relationship this wouldn’t be a good response. But if its the second date or so…. I got other things to do, in my world, how do you benefit it ? If you are going to be this way, flaky seriously I am not disappointed, I am moving on.

If there’s little prior attraction on her part, why is she going to work hard to reschedule? If she’s not sufficiently interested, you need to nuke her flake test to generate interest. “What about sometime in April 2015?” isn’t going to work when she doesn’t care.
On the other hand, if there was substantial attraction and she’s just playing games or has a compelling reason to reschedule (e.g. her friend just got last minute tickets to see her favorite band), you could try making things difficult for her. Even if that were the case, however, I wouldn’t use your response. Just saying you’re “busy” sounds suspiciously try-hard, and telling her to “try” the following week is completely retarded. Also, you’re immediately accepting her flake when she has implied it’s tentative.
If the level of attraction was sufficient, I might reply with “I’m traveling next week.” This credibly rules out her hypothetical alternative plans and serves as a minor DHV. Ideally, she then commits to the original plans.

I have some well formed opinions about the subject of “alpha” females. But first; realize that MY definition of Alpha-Female (does NOT refer to any kind of queen-bee status – whore ascendancy within a defined status heirarhcy. The truth is more dignified.
Real Alpha 10s are as a miracle sent from God, The are generally aware of their fate from around the age their tits formation starts to get going. Everything else about her has so far come up perfect and now she gets to watch symmetrical D cups proudly take their place on the trampoline of lust.
All men now want her. She knows this, but it does not disturb.
If she is smart, ie, truly alpha, she will fight like a Cornered Spainard to keep her good looks active. Because if she can keep most of what she was given, while avoiding bitchy-ness induced mental damage and any trace of fat acceptance.damage., her sexual value will be strong enough, long enough to allow her to successfully attract and fuck 90 % the interesting men(or women) she will ever came accross.

One of the best things that I ever did to improve my texting was to delete all question marks, as the interrogative mood is indicative of the classic beta frame(even when used as a rhetorical device; your texts should be the written equivalent of the terse statements of a pilot wrestling with the controls of a wounded aircraft) It is at its core a submissive posture; someone else has information(power) and you implore them to share that power with you.
“Is this a trick question? I loved the spice girls”
versus:
“Trick question. I loved the spice girls”
The second is more powerful. The Alpha ALWAYS knows, even when he doesn’t.

It’s also a very girly kind of comparison, since it’s so subjective. True, the vast majority of people would consider the Beatles “better” than the Spice Girls, but it’s still heavily subjective. Most guys would come up with something decidedly more objective (well, within reason: making comparisons fun involves introducing a little bit of subjectivity, but guys can control it). Eg, 1 to 10 how much did it hurt? 1 is an ant bite; 10 is your hand caught in a meat grinder. That’s a lot less subjective.

First time poster, need some help with a legit 9. Background: I met this girl like a year and half ago (should’ve laid her that night, my game was super tight that night but too drunk to realize how I could get guy orbiter friends to leave, and they were also her ride, but figure a way to give her a ride home in the morning) and have sporadically kept contact with her since then. Problem with meeting up is that she lives an hour away, I don’t have a car, and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t either (although has access to one). Anyways, this past January or whatever I join instagram and she immediately starts following me, and likes one of my pictures. A week later, I comment on a pic of her and her friend, and go “pretty cute..you’re the type of girl Id prolly hold my farts in for ;)”. She texts me the next day to go out with her and some friends for her bday. I tell her I can’t. Fast forward to two weeks ago, she texts asking me if I still live in [city where I met her] and that we should meet up that night. I don’t live there anymore and just text back that I’m in [city half hour away] out with some friends. We agree to go out sometime. Text exchange monday:
me: hey u like cute boys booze and rowdy bars!?!!? (for anyone under 25 gaming college aged girls, this line is money)
her: (20 secs later): of course!
me: k if u think ur rdy for this jelly come to [city] wednesday
her: (like 30 minutes later) what bar maybe [city] is pretty far
me: (45 minutes later) a bunch..pregame at my buddys apartment downtown first tho then out (this is where i feel i messed up)
her: (10 minutes later) k ill let you know
it’s now wednesday and have heard nothing. So what’s my move from here? Please, none of that “gay” shit.
I’d actually wouldn’t even care if she didn’t text me anything today since I’ve got other girls to hit up, but I’d just love to bang this girl’s brains out. Usually I can calibrate my responses pretty well with girls, but since I’ve only hung out with her once over a year ago, sometimes I just feel a little off.
