He Said/She Said: Does Texting Help or Hurt Romance: http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/ ... &GT1=32023

Just saw that article this morning, and I figured I'd see what everyone thought. My opinion is that it actually recommends texting, just not stupid crappy texts.

Actually, the female perspective is that texting detracts from attraction... but I'm not sure her supporting points are actually bad! Well, the first one is absolutely but texting is so common these days I'm still not sure how relevant it is.

But not caring if she responds? Aren't we _supposed_ to not be overly worried about a girl responding or not? Isn't it DHV to be busy enough that it's no biggie if you don't hear from her?

The last point is that you might have texted multiple girls at once... so, she thinks you're surrounded by beautiful sex partners who might come over at the drop of a hat, and that's a bad thing?

So what do you guys think?

EDIT: on a side note, why does the url thing never seem to work right on here?

It turns into a link without needing the URL code :)
Right, which is what I've had to do every time... the disadvantage is I can't change the text of the link...

She Said...
Texting definitely detracts from attraction.

Dating is all about getting personal, and texting is by far the most impersonal method of communication — a girl can't derive any useful personality traits from a "S'up?" text. This makes misinterpretation the biggest danger of texting in the early stages of dating. The action itself will speak louder than its contents, usually saying one of the following:

1."I'm scared of you."
Every time you communicate with someone, the recipient is aware that you had multiple methods available. You could have called, e-mailed, showed up at her doorstep, sent a singing telegram — the possibilities are endless. When a guy texts, it's clear he chose to do so, leaving the suspicion that he's too scared of you to actually speak with you, doesn't have clue how to start a conversation, or is suffering from a social anxiety disorder. None of those things are sexy. Ever.

2. "I don't really care if you respond or not."
A text loosely translates to: "I don't really care about you. It might be fun to go out tonight, and it would be awesome to have sex but I'm too tired/bored/uninterested to make any real effort. So if you get back to me, great. If not, I can finally catch up on Lost. Bonus if you drive over here and I can do both."

3. "I just sent that text to every single woman in my address book."
... And he will mostly likely hook up with the first girl who answers, unless of course a much hotter girl gets back to him before he gets Girl No. 1 back to his place.

If a guy genuinely likes a girl, he should want to talk to her. Plus, the act of talking has another positive outcome — it boosts his chances of success. It's easy to ignore a one-line text message, especially if it's a chain of lowercase letters and numbers, such as "u want 2 go out 2nite?" A nice, deep, human voice? Now, that's harder to turn down.
This article is written by a women who doesn't know any better I'll go through her numbers

1. Her saying men are scared is her way to try and shake you up to make you think texting is bad or that your wimp. Not true If we were scared we would have never approached her in the first place. Next she says you should have called or email. These are things the women have control over because they can deny they ever received them. Lets say you call then your forced to leave an awkward voice message then she doesn't return your call should you call her back again?(answer is NO). Email is the worst way of communication if a girl gives you her email and refuses to give you her phone number it's already over. Texting is best so she can't get a handle on your personality, so you won't get into long conversations that may reveal too much about yourself or say something that can hurt your chances. And she really can't deny receiving a text and the beauty of text you can always resend same the message again and simply say your phone is malfunctioning.
Summary she's just mad she's not in control which is exactly how it needs to be.

2. Exactly you shouldn't care again this girl is angry because she's not in control.
And she's taking more pot shots at men by saying we're boring and uninterested and rather watch tv to bait you. Ignore her, women come and go if she doesn't want to play by my rules forget her not going out on a limb to chase her.


3. Yes you need to have more than 1 woman's phone number handy if you just met this girl theres no guarantee she's going to come over and have sex with you.
You never want to have to depend on one woman.


A word on texting new women you text solely to request a meet up. All that flirty trying to be funny shit is not good, until after you've at least kissed the girl or gotten her naked.
