Timeless Flirting Tactic

I’ve read a lot of tactics about flirting/picking up girls. I’ve added to the discussion a little bit and hopefully I ended up giving someone some advice/skill that gave them the power to bang that fading high school hottie who’s trapped in a slut spiral.

But when the chips are down, there’s only one tactic you can rely on. It’s kind of like drunk boxing. I mean, you can learn the ins and outs of boxing with all the speed, agility, power, and technique that go into being a great fighter. But drunk boxing is different. You have to stick to the basics because all of the sophisticated tactics you learned from training hours over hours in the gym have fallen victim to your sluggishness. That might be a bad example. Whatever, let’s move on.

Which is why, when the game is on the line (the close) and there’s 1000 different ideas running through your head about what move you should do next or say, you should forget them all and rely on what made you who you are: your hormones. At least that’s what I do. I think the number of possible situations I find myself in is large enough where there’s never time to weigh my options. Instincts are all I really have, and improving those is just so amazingly difficult.

I’m convinced more than ever that “learning game” is more about forgetting the things society taught you than it is learning anything new. The so called “naturals” of picking up girls just never bother to learn what they are ‘supposed’ to learn about respecting women and their boundaries. They just take what they believe is rightfully theirs in every step of their lives: anything and everything they want. In the same breath, it’s worth pointing out that the naturals don’t go overboard with the disrespect either in the way that the players on the big screen make it happen.

This shows the larger idea of how learning the wrong thing, or learning a lie, is so much more damaging than learning nothing. And speak of the devil, I have go follow my instincts right now. I’m just trying to accomplish a foolish goal of having a blog post every day for a week, diluting this blog in the process.

Mind Games

One of the most relevant truisms that epitomizes the differences between men and women in the ongoing war of the sexes (after internet porn, it went from a battle to a full-fledged war) is how men do things before thinking about them too much and women think about things too much before doing anything. This leads to two different kinds of Mind Games boys and girls can play on each other. The point of these mind games is to have the member of the opposite sex invest more into you to get them wrapped around your little finger. Power.

Mind Games on Men

I’m obviously not an expert at mind games on men, but I’ll give it a shot.

Since men won’t normally show restraint before doing things, tricking him into doing something he wouldn’t do if he sat down and thought about it should be pretty easy. Say it’s later at night and you tell him to meet you somewhere where he wouldn’t go if you weren’t there. If he goes to meet you and you don’t show up, give yourself a Mind Game Point (MGP). The key to this tactic working is the fact men are constantly champing at the bit, and you can use this impatience to set them up for a good Mind Game trap.

Since this impatience is worse when alcohol is involved, it’s good to use this tactic at night on a weekend when most boys are drunk off their asses. Probably. Who am I kidding, I don’t know shit about playing mind games on men.

Mind Games on Women

These are the real mind games. Girls will think themselves to death on things instead of thinking for a little bit and testing those theories in the real world. Everything about girls from their ridiculous logic to their awful decision making skills (wait, those two are the same thing) can be directly traced to overthinking. You can use this to your supreme advantage.

If you can make her think; if you can put your questions, your reality, and yourself in her mind for long enough, she will inevitably conclude that she’s in love with you.

The key to making her think is to reveal as little as possible about yourself (telling Big Lies is a good way to do this) to remain a mystery. Girls love mysteries. There’s a reason Murder She Wrote was the longest running mystery series on television outside of Angela Lansbury’s raw sexuality. You have to do things that constantly change what she thinks she knows about you. If you can pick up on what she’s assuming about you, surprise her by having those things not be true.

Do things that make her stop for a second and say “wait…” while she thinks. Get her to give you the “I’m not quite sure about you” look where she furrows her brow and turns her head a little bit to the side. If you get one of those, you’re successfully playing Mind Games.

Actually, now that I think about it, playing Mind Games with girls is as easy as being slightly unpredictable, not desperate (patient), and omnipresent. If you can be those 3 things, you should start to see the steam pouring out of girls’ ears.

Remember, plant the seed and the forest will grow.

Flirting Tactic: Alpha Stare

Nothing says “I mean business” like an Alpha Stare. It identifies you as a predator to your prey, and girls love it. The fact women are relatively unafraid of a predator stare makes me think that many of them were eaten by lions in ancient times. You know, like, after they had children or something.

Anyway, an Alpha Stare demonstrates undivided attention, in it’s purest form, to your, uh, prey. I’m pretty sure a girl’s happiness is directly proportional to the amount of attention paid to her. Focus on the area on her forehead in between her eyes but an inch or so above the eyes. And don’t avert your eyes for any external distractions, this is a power stare.

Just remember, women fall in love with their kidnappers (that Swedish thing) and their mental and emotional abusers. Let’s just avoid the ‘physical abusers’ category by saying it-is-what-it-is. So girls have no problem falling in love with predators. Don’t be afraid to narrow your eyelids and look like you’re getting ready for a fight because you are getting ready for a fight. Flirting is a battle of wills, don’t ever forget that. You just have to hide it behind some polite gestures.

Another thing I like to do is move my eyes first then have my head follow my eyes. I’m not really sure why I like this, but it seems to have an effect. The girl notices that she caught your attention before she captivated you. I mean, let’s be honest here, I look at a lot of things but I don’t turn my head to focus on just anything.

Flirting Tactic: Telling a Big Lie

Since flirting is one of my all time favorite activities and consumes 75-80% of my life, I’m starting a series of posts on flirting tactics. Hopefully I’ll learn some things about flirting and about my overall flirting tendencies. I hope it’s entertaining. Let’s get to it.

One of my favorite flirting tactics is telling a big lie. Example:

Girl selling concert stickers: “So what are you going to do with this sticker?”
Me: “What?” (I heard her)
Girl selling concert stickers: “Where are you going to put this?” (got her to think and re-phrase = investment = +1 flirting point)
Me: “It’s a bumper sticker, I’m putting it on my bumper”
Girl selling concert stickers: “(look of interest)… Oh yeah? What do you drive?”
Me: “The B30 Metro connector. (pause) Some people ride the bus, and some people drive the bus. (pause) I drive the bus.”
Girl selling concert stickers: (laughs, doesn’t quite know what to say, says something as I walk away) + 5 flirting points

I successfully got some investment and a genuine laugh while revealing literally no information about myself. And that’s the key to this whole Big Lie thing: you can hide everything behind hilarious lies. Watch me tell jokes and act charming while I avoid tough questions at the same time. Don’t you trust me now? We sure do, Bill. This is different than a believable lie which is misleading and unmanly.

A Big Lie bonus is the creative entertainment value it provides you. You’ll never be bored answering questions like “what’s your name?”, “where are you from?”, and “what do you do?” ever again.

“Um, wait, so what do you do?”

• “I’m a member of Young Jeezy’s posse.”
• “I work as a blacksmith at Colonial Williamsburg”
• “I teach handicapped children how to fly kites”

Then you can ask what she does and she’ll go into her complete life story. Why? I have no idea.
