Witty Responses to IHAB

[Masculinity]

Not all IHAB lines are created equally. Sometimes the girl drops the sentence, gives you a weird look and walks away or shows little interest in you. However, there are times when what she says doesn't coincide with her behavior says. And we all know to pay attention to women's actions rather than heir words.

There have been times when I approached females who had boyfriends, but also responded well to my approach (maybe they were in boring relationships; they're not loyal; or some other reason). I actually banged a few girls through these types of situations. In these cases, the girls drop the IHAB line as somewhat of a "disclaimer" or a test to see if you're still willing to pursue her.

These women are obviously not dating material (not promoting captain Save a Ho behavior here). But I'd be willing to have a FWB relationship with a girl like this. For instance, I approached a girl at a drive through the other day. She dropped the IHAB line on me, yet smiled from cheek to cheek, ignored the screens at work and gave me her complete attention with flirty behavior and a series of questions. She was shy and I ended up leaving because I was delaying the drive-through, but I know I would've gotten the digits otherwise.

I want to be prepared next time this situation comes up, as there's always room for improvement. What are some ways you guys respond to the "I have a boyfriend" line in a witty way?

"Perfect. I'm married with 12 kids."/ "When are you guys getting married?"

 

[sosousage]

"i have a bf"
"i have a dog"

"Great, he can make us breakfast in bed"

"you look like the kind of girl who could use two" - johnny bravo

"That's ok....you can still see him until you realize I'm much more fun....that is if I decide that I like you after we meet up for drinks on Friday evening"

"Whoa slow down.....I don't want a gf...too busy for that, I just want to meet you for a drink or two....."

"I wonder what he would think of you twirling your hair and smiling at me like that? Let's grab drinks on _____night and continue this convo when we meet up"

"Yeah I'm currently talking to a few people too but we should still meet up for a quick drink and more of this good conversation"

"He can come too"

"He can watch"

I've tested these in the field.

And what were the results?

I can't remember it's been a while (years) since a girl has dropped the IHAB line to me.

I move on immediately after that line. I'm not taking the consolation prize of a seat in the friendzone. I'm not Tyrone, but I cut off uninterested chicks immediately.

IHAB is just disinterest, not a sign to keep trying. You just weren't attractive enough at that time.

Wrong, sometimes they genuinely have a boyfriend, some of the times he's been at the event/bar/club/etc where I've asked them too.

So you just immediately eject? That's poor form, at least play it off funnily, then any chicks witnessing this (I'm assuming you do talk to girls openly in front of other girls) will know you're not some punk who turns and runs at the first hurdle.

When you level up come back for more advice.

Women monkey branch all the time. If they give you the IHAB, play it off as if you dont really care. Obviously if she is giving you signs of interest, stopping at that point is a beta move as it shows that you have a weak frame and allow outside variables to prohibit going after what you want.

Hit her with a line showing that you dont really care because the bf isnt a threat to you or your agenda with her and go from there. If she is still initiating conversation, tell her you want to meet up for a drink. Its either a yes or a no.

Decent points.

I’d probably say ‘That’s too bad. You should give me a call when you are free.’ Personally I don’t like getting involved with a girl who is very emotionally involved in another guys life and family, and getting pounded by him every other hour.

Tbh if a girl mentions having a bf in any context other than "lets stop what we're doing/about to do" then that's disinterest unless she's playing some weird game to test you

Let the conversation run its course after your witty line but unless she shows solid signs of interest, eject

I don't like the night and day approach a lot of guys take. Picking up women is a sale's job. If you cut off the lead, you're cutting your own possibilities. There is no investment or time consumed other than the effort of the first approach.

I've had women who dropped IHAB on me and later ended up being my FWBs.

I move on immediately after that line. I'm not taking the consolation prize of a seat in the friendzone. I'm not Tyrone, but I cut off uninterested chicks immediately.

I disagree. See above^

 

[RichardTheFrog]

Her: IHAB

Me: Does he have a bionic d1ck and a chrome Lamborghini?

 

[marmel75]

How long you had that problem?

That's great...you need someone else in your life so you aren't obsessing over me.

Awesome...you need someone else when I'm not around...its not healthy to be thinking about one person that much...

^^Agreed.

When they r interested, they won't even bother bringing up IHAB or husband....

True it's a sales job.

It's the women's job.

And the man's the buyer. That's why a man is often referred to as "the catch" "he's such a catch" etc.

Of course being the buyer you'd must have a discerning taste.

You'd want to pick the gem from among the junk.

Plenty of sexy beautiful women out there, which amongst them is the gem?
