A plea to the admin(s) to create a sticky in closing or mid-game or even a thread of its own...

Text Messages

What's the verdict?

As someone said elsewhere we are the first generation of real 'texters' so we need to figure this stuff out!

As a moderator on the forum and someone who is very experienced with game I can tell you that Text Messaging does not need to have its own section or even a sticky ask questions thread. I could even argue that my Online Thread of around 60 pages is almost not needed! SHOCKER

Here is the thing guys that you all need to realize. Even though you might be online through email, Instant Message, or even Text - THE GAME IS THE SAME AS IT IS IN PERSON. The only difference is obviously she can not see your body language, and you have to make sure that you messages aren't going to be interpreted incorrectly.

For example things like teasing and negs have to be worded correctly, or maybe accompanied by some emoticons or to show that you are being playful. Outside of that what you say to a girl via text message is really no different that you would do in person.

I know I am not the only experienced member on the forum that feels this way. This is why it hasn't already been done. That is why I'm so good at Online Game. It's not different that really being in person I just say what I'd normally say to be honest with you. Nothing any different. OKAY the secret is out now! LOL. Of course with online there is that whole profile thing which is most of the reason we actually have a section for it.

Text/Phone Game is not a "game" in its own form. It's a continuation of something else. You don't just randomly enter in numbers sending openers to girls. You meet a girl in person, or possibly online then you use text messaging or phone calls (which is more personal and works a lot better by the way) to build attraction or rapport, depending on where you left off when you last talked to her. The only other reason you need it is just to setup dates.

Allow me to summarize my two very valid points for why there is no need for a text game section. #1 The way you text should not be any different really then how you speak to a girl that is in front of you. #2 Texting/Phone Calls are not a game art in their own, they are a continuation of another way you met.

Ok fair points and obviously your the admins.

However I do disagree that the game is different in one big area.
Ignoring a text message is A LOT easier than ignoring someone stood in front of you. Also, and in part because of the above, you have more room to work your game in person than you do in a text message ie. you can see their physical responses and respond to them and you can use kino and more props so in a sense I agree that the basics are the same but your tools are reduced and the boundaries, i think, are smaller.
