Texing is not a surefire way to fuck up unless you don't know what the fuck you're doing.
What I meant is that it's almost completely unnecessary, so why run the risk of doing it in the first place? There's very little attraction that can be built from texting, and absolutely none that can't be built better through an actual encounter.

This could not be further from the truth. Girls love texting, you just have to know how to do it properly...
That's true. A lot of the girls I hang out with never stop texting! And the really hot one are usually texting a couple of guys at the same time. Maybe it's ego, maybe it's efficiency, but I don't wanna be just another one of those guys. I can't get the same expressiveness (paralinguistics) through with a text, so it cuts out the most important part of my message.
I genuinely believe, more and more lately, that less is more. I don't do any of that "being unavailable" bullshit. I do my own thing, and when I'm available I'm available, when I'm not, I'm not. I achieve the same effect, indirectly, by just not wasting time on stuff that don't bring me closer to my goal.

how much reference experience do you have with this
I've been texting girls for a good 8 or 9 years now, but only got into game about 4/5 years ago, and only got decent at it in the last year.

In three years of "Game" I have rarely called girls, as opposed to texting them. Initially things didn't go well, but lately my skills have definitely sharpened and I get them to invest more in texting interactions. I guess it all depends on how the initial interaction went. Texting, calling, I guess everyone has their own style... do whatever works for you!
I'd agree with some of that. I usually never call girls. 2/3 quick texts and that's the date set. Sometimes I'll call the evening before and confirm it's on.
As far as investment goes, I think it's a waste of time. It's not difficult to get a girl to invest using texts - as pointed out above, girls LOVE texting. Investing in texting a guy really doesn't mean much to them.
The amount of girls who'll be really flirty and sexual with their messages and then you meet them and they're nonchalant about the whole thing is incredible.
Essentially, if you've done your job right, a few quick, snappy, texts should do the job for you to get a date. If you can get a date then why even bother texting her?
I don't avoid texts altogether. If a girl keeps messaging me I'll message her back, I'm not dry or anything. Simplify people, simplify. The biggest problem in the community is over-gaming.
EDIT Haha, another big reason I don't usually text is that I rarely have credit. I can send web-texts but I'm hardly ever at home except in the mornings and late evenings.
