3 Strikes and You're Out or One and Done?

[Maximus Rex]

It used to be that I would give a chick three times to blow me off before I said, "F*ck it," and left it alone. Now, I guess because of the lack of patience, the fact I really don't like calling chicks, and the "Celebrity Maxim," which states, "If a chick were to get a call from her favorite celebrity, she would literally stop everything and anything she was doing, (up to and including f*cking you,) to return that call, and if by chance she couldn't return that call immediately, she would do it within the hour."

Not to say that a chick needs to stop her life to return my calls, but it is only courteous to return a person's phone call by day's end. I'll leave a message on the voicemail, then I'll send a text. If I don't get a reply to either, then Rex will take her lack of an answer as her answer.

There was this chick that I hollered at on the last day of school and I got the number; however, I left for California a few days later and I was gone for a month, when I returned back to NYC, I tried to arrange a date, I left a message and text and I got zero reply. Ole Rex applied the "Celebrity Maxim."

When school lets back in I'm curious to see what will happen. If babygirl mentions that I was suppose to take her to Cold Stone, f*ck it, we'll go, but other than that, as it's so eloquently said on Sosusave, "NEXT!"

1.5 stikes via TEXT is my rule.

I don't call girls I'm not f*cking. That's just my own rule.

I like texting because there is less excuse to ignore it or avoid it. With calls, she could be driving, in a movie, getting wasted, in a loud place, etc. With a text, its easy to respond so there are less excuses to ignore it.

When I get a number I sent ONE text. If she ignores it, I wait a day or two and send a question mark to bump my original text to the top like:
"?"

THATS IT. If she ignores that, I move on.

Hmm dude 1 month is way too long after meeting a girl. It's kind of expected that she won't reply because she probably doesn't remember who you are.

My "strike" rule is a sliding scale. The less you know the girl, the fewer the strikes she gets. You have to adapt to each girl. If I've been having $ex with a girl for 2 months and she cancels plans I'm not going to bail right away. You have to give people the benefit of the doubt. As long as you keep your game tight and don't look like a fool, be confidently persistent. I've had a chick ignore me 3 times in a row but I kept at it. After minimal effort she was on my bed looking at the ceiling. When I asked her what made her come around and she said that she liked my persistence and that most guys give up. Confident persistence goes a long way. Hold the motto "Make the ho say no" and you will get more girls than you imagine.

Eject too early and you miss the chance of a great lay because you wanted to avoid direct rejection.

And this is where the game gets tricky. Every man should have his own rule. Don't adapt to the girl.. that elevates the girl and makes you the peasant ass kisser. Sure.. you'll get laid that way sometimes --> but at the price of your dignity.

There are loads of beta faggots with wives and kids.. so obviously being a pandering pushover doesn't stop you from getting laid. The question is --> At what cost?

The early stages of a relationship set the frame. If you start out kissing her ass and giving her control.. you will have to do that forever. I've passed on over-priced p*ssy many times because the girl required more work than I believed she was worth.

Its not all about getting laid. Its also about getting laid ON YOUR OWN TERMS.

Yes I agree. Fortunately in my case it was not at the expense of my dignity. My point was that confident persistence is MUCH better than bailing out early.

This girl was just playing hard to get. Staying level-headed and persistent works for me. Because she took some "chasing" I hit it and quit it.

I probably should have added that I wasn't trying to date this girl, just bone.

I can pretty much tell which girls will flake and which girls wont, you can tell from the interaction. Simple test, talk about the future, not in a weird way. Just say something like "oh I'm going to go and do XYZ at some point this week, come along" and from her reaction you can just tell whether she wants to or not. If you have a great conversation but dont make future plans, you have to do it over the phone anyway and you wont be able to gauge her reaction as well.

Fvck phone game, it's boring and I'd rather be watching Californication than trying to get some girl out. Do the hard work early and just work out logistics.

I disagree. In order of leniency toward flakiness my list goes something like this: wife>fiance>girlfriend>plate>ONS>pickup target>acquaintance. You cannot sit here and tell me you would be as strict with your wife (if you chose to have one) as you would with an acquaintance. No man is a robot that cannot distinguish between emotional investment.

With that said, you gotta have ground rules. I operate on a two strike rule. No matter wife or acquaintance, you get 2 strikes. However; what constitutes as a strike for a one night stand would not constitute as a strike for my favorite plate. For example: a one night stand not returning a text or call from me is a strike. Similar situation for a plate and I just move on to the next one and forget about it. 2 or 3 calls though, that's blatant uninterest and is a strike.

Hopefully by the time you have a girlfriend or get married you have screened appropriately and learned the difference between disrespect and respectful ignorance (forgetfullness, having their own life, business, etc.). I have no problem dropping women if I feel that's the punishment they deserve...NONE. But some women have proven to me through their actions that they deserve a little more leniency when it comes to matters such as these. I will bend a smidge for each level up the hierarchy, but rules are rules--two strikes and you're out. Lord knows that women put up with more than enough bullsh!t from me.

Quoted for truth. Playherman has already said he doesn't want a wife, ever. So he is going to bash your post as being a "beta f@ggot." To the other readers, this is the way to think about it. If you next every girlfriend because she didn't answer a text you are going to be miserable.

Look at it this way. If a good friend of yours ignores a text, do you say "that was disrespectful and I have too much pride to hang out with you anymore"? No, you move on and act like nothing happened because in reality, people make mistakes.

Ever sent a text but someone didn't get it? SAME THING. Maybe the girl didn't get it. But because of your hard "rules" you nexted a girl that could have been an awesome plate.

Why would you be miserable? Do you NEED a woman for your life to be complete? Are you desperate? If so.. you are indeed beta. :crackup:

I'm not saying to NEXT any girl that doesn't respond to your text. I'm saying not to kiss ass. Not responding to a text is RUDE behavior. If this woman gives a sh!t about staying in contact with you.. she WILL return. After a week or two she will respond with a: "Sorry I didn't get back to you..."

I talk from experience. She will become insecure that you are not chasing her and she will return to you. If she doesn't return.. then she didn't want you in her life to begin with and you did her a favor by not chasing her.

Only women with low interest and control-freak c*nts need a man to chase them HARD before they give in. FACT--> The more you have to chase.. the more she believes you are low value.

Bradly Cooper wouldn't have to kiss her ass would he? NOPE. Why is that?--> She sees value so she jumps on his c0ck no questions asked. Your value should be easy to see when she FIRST meets you. If its not.. she isn't SEXUALLY attracted.

If more men acted the way I advocate women would be FORCED to work harder to please men. But most men are desperate clowns.
