Whenever i'm out and about, I seem to get a fair amount of IOI's from B's and HB's which leads me to think i'm a reasonably good looking guy in the eyes of a girl. I don't really agree, but that's not the point...
Actually, it is the point.
All the DHVs, negs, false time constraints and other tactics in the world will never compensate for lacking a sense of self-worth and a generally good self-image. You might be saying, "But 870, she can't possibly know I lack those things when it doesn't come up in conversation." If you are saying that, you're missing the point, because those are exactly the things that are sub-communicated in the way you speak and carry yourself.
The actual content of your conversation is almost totally irrelevant. What women really respond to is the vibe of the interaction and the state you project, a good portion of which is communicated via
subtext.
Take this hypothetical scenario for example (paraphrasing from something I read on Herbal's blog a long time ago). Say you've just been out on a date with a beautiful girl, and you're now dropping her off at her house. As you walk her to the door, you have this conversation (subtext in parenthesis):
GIRL: "I had a really great time tonight." (I want you to kiss me.)
AFC: "Really? That's awesome. I had a great time too." (I'm excited because I usually don't do this well with women of your caliber.)
GIRL: "Well, good night! I'll call you tomorrow." (Now I don't want you to kiss me and I won't call you tomorrow.)
That went terribly, right? Notice how the actual conversation flowed smoothly and made sense, but the subtext was totally off. "AFC" didn't communicate anything attractive about himself in that interaction. Now let's try something different:
GIRL: "I had a really great time tonight." (I want you to kiss me.)
PUA: "Really? I had a
terrible time!" (My main goal here is to have fun and I could care less about sleeping with you.)
GIRL: *playfully hits PUA* "You did not!" (OK, now I REALLY want you to kiss me.)
PUA: *grabs GIRL and pulls her close for a kiss*
Now even though the actual conversation above makes no sense, the sub-communications match up perfectly leading to a positive outcome. Now why did the PUA sub-communicate attractive things about himself while the AFC didn't? Simple: both of them were projecting their inner state. The AFC who was excited he was finally doing well with a high-value girl sub-communicated his lack of self-confidence while the PUA demonstrated his independence from the outcome of the interaction and a strong sense of reality. Game, set, match
Hope this helps.
Your boy,
870
