Crafty editing can make even the most ham-fisted PUA look successful. And when the dude says, "Women like being approached," well, he's obviously never cruised Toronto, has he?
celest said:
the idea is to kind of give a compliment but kinda diss at the same time. its supposed to throw them off guard (who says that) and then set them up for wanting you approval. head games, that supposedly work?
One wouldn't think that modern, intelligent women fall for this sort of thing, but oddly enough it actually does work. The PUA crowd calls it a "neg," short for "negative." It's sort of a backhanded compliment.
The thinking goes that it works because attractive women are used to hearing compliments from guys who want to win their favour. And it's those men that women can decide whether to respond to or not (and they usually don't).
But when the compliment is double-edged, it's essentially the guy saying, "Yea, you're OK but nothing special." That's different from what these women usually hear, which by itself is often reason enough for the women to continue the conversation. It changes the dynamic. Suddenly it's no longer the guy seeking the woman's attention and approval, it's the woman trying to figure out why the guy is not longer seeking her approval.
Many, many women will deny to their dying breath that this sort of stuff doesn't work on them. "How could anyone fall for that? I'm too intelligent/too intuitive/too aware of these games to get sucked in to such a play" is often their silent thought process. But it's precisely these women that get taken in to such things. They guy comes in so under the radar (due to feigned disinterest) that the woman has NO idea she's being played.
Try it for yourself. I think you'll find that you'll be surprised at how well it works.
For the record, I'm not a PUA by any stretch, nor do I have any interest in selling or promoting any of those sorts of materials.
..and it works!
