"Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

[Nick1984]

Hi,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

To get down to brass tacks, what is an acceptable response to the question in the subject line? I've been asked this by multiple women and can't think of an answer that doesn't make me seem like a total mook. The whole spectrum of "I'm a dork" to "No woman can tame me, baby" seems bad/cheezy.

What do you guys think. I'm interested in any ideas.

 

[Stéphane]

It means your attractive and girls are wondering why your single.

 

[Nick1984]

Well, I'll admit I've indulged my ego in allowing that thought to cross my mind (Although I don't know if it's true). At least two of the women that have asked this have been unavailable.

Still, what should I say?

 

[Stéphane]

Don't answer, and set up your own question. Why are you asking this?

 

[Nick1984]

Interesting...

I like that. The only problem I have is that the question is bound to come up again, later.

I suppose I could continue being evasive, but couldn't that "trigger some alarm bells"?

There are some good answers to this question here:-

I agree with it triggering alarm bells. When girls ask you questions like that, its a loaded gun and your treading on VERY thin ice. Every answer to me can be analyzed in a bad way...maybe a "good" answer differs with each girl?

I remember the last girl who asked me that, I made a HUGE mistake in my answer. I told her "Oh well recently I've just been doing hookups no real relationships." And what did I get when I told her that? Just a hookup.

Somebody on here said this but I don't know who.

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I know somebody who'd get mad if she heard me say that."

Say it confidently, with a sly smile and move on.

Another one you can say is, "I'm currently accepting applications, but I must warn you I only take on qualified applicant's."

 

[Nick1984]

Guitar: Thanks bro, I tried to search and couldn't come up with anything.

Lost: I think you hit the nail on the head. I want a response that projects some kind of quiet confidence. I don't want to seem like a dork (which I don't think I am) or some smooth player that's going to get her guard up (which I'm definitely not).

 

[Nick1984]

Maxtro:

I believe the first line is from comic Mitch Hedberg (I may be wrong about this, however)

The second line seems like it is a bit player-ish. I don't know if it would work unless she was really into me and willing to throw caution to the wind.

 

[Stéphane]

My answer the best one just because a girl throws a **** test doesn't mean you need to answer it. Girls asking this are usualy single, you should just say why don't you have a boyfriend?

 

[Maxtro]

Yup I just Googled it and it is Mitch Hedberg.

"I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that."

I still think it's a great response.

As for for my second one it does seem kind of playerish and not everybody can pull it off. Heck I don't know if I can :crackup:

 

[619joe]

Use Chris Farelys line.

"Well many women have tried to lasso this stallion,but for now,this wild buck has to roam free or he will die"

On second thought if that one seems too cheesy(or if you cant pull it off) OR Maxtro's 2 are excellent to use.

But ya man these are good signs if they ask you.

 

[Nick1984]

Strange. Off the top of my head one woman was in a serious relationship and another was married.

What was the Chris Farley line from? I'm a big fan.

What do you guys think. I'm interested in any ideas.

I've done this one before: "Cause I'm a virgin...". I had this huge smile on my face, started semi-laughing. She didn't know if I was serieus or not, but she found out later , telling me: "THERE'S No way YOU are a virgin!". I just laughed and said sure I am.

 

[schttrj]

nice one if u return it by saying, "why are you asking this?" like stephane said...

u can also say outright,"because maybe i have not met the right person yet..." simple and challenging in PUA terms and if u just imagine urself saying that without acting needy whereas u r a bit attractive too, it will amplify the attraction instantly i think.

 

[romangod]

I'll ask you honestly, "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

The answer you give me should be the answer you give them. Cheers!

 

[slaog]

I just say I'm in no rush to find one and I'm not attracted to most girls. (Cause I'm high value )

 

[Beffing]

how I usually respond (because for some reason EVERY girl I hang out with asks me the same thing) is usually with another question like : "Why don't you have a bf?" or "What? Am I supposed to?" or "Are you trying to tell me something?" (usually say that one with a smirk so she knows youre not taking her too seriously)
