Is Playing It Cool with Gals a Losing Strategy these Days?

My buddy is a drought god and I wanna be the ultimate wingman but I'm wondering if I should advise him to play it cool because every dude is a thirsty simp or to be somewhat aggressive because sloots are getting unlimited attention and he needs to set the hook before she gets away.

Seems like he usually comes on too strong and pushes them away. Maybe that was bad luck though.

For me it seems like after I meet a gal, it just goes, but he's much more shy so I don't think it's the same.

I wanna offer advice but I don't know how to frame it for someone shy.

Be high pressure up front to fight off the other 100 dudes casually vying for her attention, but don't linger.

Message scarcity, like act now before this offer disappears forever.

If she starts to have delays in between texts, should he respond in kind or pretend like it's not happening?

I virtually always take longer to respond to texts than the girl I'm texting. I make a point to do it tbh.

How about this person stop being a bitch and text whenever he wants instead of giving the girl some imaginary authority about when to text

With the gals? Yeah, for sure.

But the dames? Playing it cool with them is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Disengage if it's chit chat and only text if it's something particularly topical or you are (forcefully) inviting her to an activity. Your time is valuable and not to be spent talking about bachelor reruns.

Unless you are an Omega Chad who can close the deal with literally 0 effort, you have to make a pitch at some point.

I prefer a strong powerpoint deck and offering a novelty pen gift set.

I'm of the opinion that if she's met you, she's seen you in action and she has a way to contact you, she's either gonna be reaching out or it's the wrong gal

I dunno if he has the charisma to make that kinda impression that takes all the guesswork out of it. He probably needs to show up a few more times so maybe he's gonna have to push more in the beginning

It's literally a sales job and you are the product. Sometimes you make the sale on the 1st contact, but some customers need a 2nd or 3rd contact. They will always give you signals that any non-sperg can pick up on.

Also worth noting that if he's not Chad, "you get to have sex with me" is not a good pitch. "We're going to have so much fun and have such a great story to tell when we do X" is a better angle.

Aren't you in PDX brah? If the game there is anything like Seattle, jestermaxxing is just an unfortunate reality for those out there trying to get puzz on Friday nights.

brb meet girls at chitty bar like Linda's by starting conversation waiting for drinks from Joe Hipster
brb suggest relocation to nearby bar like The Unicorn and listen to retarded music that is "omg like so fire"
brb just make them laugh, dance maybe, physically escalate if getting good vibes
brb entire operation takes 3 hours including the phucking
brb lose a piece of your soul

Other than that, inter-social circle banging is completely the norm in the PNW.

God I do not miss that place (other than the mountain loop highway).

He just needs more practice/confidence. Best way to achieve that is with less attractive chicks. It’s super easy to build game or confidence when you know how to talk to women. It’s easy to talk to women that you know you can bang or don’t really care if they walk away.

Tell him to test the waters on a couple fattys next weekend. Gotta crawl before you can walk. Gotta slam a whale before you bang a dime.

I think it should be a back and forth. I also think that if you’re interested you should show it. F the stupid games. Why would I want to waste time with someone who won’t act like they’re interested? Ain’t nobody got time for that shizz.

Women reach out to men they are into. My advice is dont over text if they are talking. Keep it short. Simple. Obviously you can joke around but you don’t want to be texting her all day. She’ll get bored. Reply time is whatever. As long as you don’t start your text right when she sends it worrying about that is stupid.

I disagree. Texting a lot has never made me lose interest or be bored with someone I'm into.

Nah, I'm an obnoxious piece of chit and it never fails me

He's pretty quiet right up until he's 1 drink away from being too drunk to do anything

I was telling him the goal should be to reach that point sooner so he can make chit happen

What sucks is that I pretty much can't go out and be my normal piece of chit self without completely overshadowing his personality

I gotta kill my fun in order to be his wingman
