I'm not the one to send chicks good morning or goodnight messages.. I rarely ever do it.

However on the odd occasion I have had to do it, like tonight.. Just to get rid of her, as she was texting me for ages & I was getting tired.

Once I sent the goodnight text off, I began to feel cringey as fuk... I mean she does all the goodnights & good mornings, pretty much every day.

Does anyone else feel this way with a girlfriend or even a plate? I've never been good at this kind of thing.

It’s considered part of being courteous and polite. Not sure why it bothers you, or why you care that much. It’s not worth the glucose your brain is burning to try to understand why.

Yeah it always made me cringe when a plate did it. I chalk it up to lack of social awareness. If a gf does it I am fine, seemed more appropriate for a committed relationship.

If you don't like it, don't reciprocate. They either get the hint or get frustrated and leave. Not every text deserves a response or acknowledgement.

"Good morning" is cringe, but you at least have to say "goodnight" after you've been sexting a girl. Otherwise she'll go cold.

My go-to response to a "good morning" text is to wait until mid-afternoon and respond "hey". No one's got time to text all day.

OP, don't be afraid to use a false time constraint as you would over the phone. Does this girl do that god-awful speech to text novel-writing bullsh1t?

As @EyeBRollin would say, it sounds like you've established bad communication habits with this girl. If I were you I'd fake some upcoming life event where you're super-busy and can't be as communicative as before.

I do “Rest well” instead if “Good night”. Only because i dont want to be the same as the other dudes.

@SargeMaximus good point, you always have to reciprocate. But you want to avoid using the definitive and use the hypothetical instead. Don't say "can't wait until I'm phucking you". Say "it would be so great to feel that poossy" instead.

Use "would" instead of "I am". Never *verbally* assume the sale, only do it mentally.

Good responses. I don't mind reciprocating a goodnight/good morning back to her, if she initiated it. I simply can't find it in myself to initiate any morning/goodnights, feels fukin lame, even in a dating/LTR type situation.

I tend to put minimum effort in my response.

Her - Goodnight baby ❤ sleep well, don't miss me too much, goodnight, speak tomorrow xxx

Me - You too girl, have a good sleep xx

It's the initiating the goodnight, that makes me shudder all over haha.. However on occasion it needs to be done, just to make her go away lol

Remember that women operate on emotions and being courteous leaves an imprint on her. She will “feel” good before she falls asleep and it will cheer her up when she starts her day. Sounds like a pain in the azz, but they are different than us. I hug and kiss my wife’s bbf ‘s cheek every time she comes over to visit. Just makes them feel good which is creates a more enjoyable atmosphere for us as well.

I talked a work acquaintance off the ledge last night, made a few jokes and ended the conversation with laughter. She sent me “goodnight“ and heart emojis. All part of the game.

Sometimes you gotta do it to stop the back and forth.

Sometimes you gotta flex that you are an early riser and send her pictures from the duckblind. It also subconsciously reminds her that you have priorities, While she thinks you are just being sweet..

You guys have too many "rules".

The rule should be : do what you want, what makes you happy, as long as your frame stays strong and you are not compromising yourself with others (including women).

Women respond to physical touch, emotional connection and vocal/non vocal communication.

Be good/seductive in all areas and you won't be able to beat women off of you.

Be a skittles man.
What is that?
A legendary Manosphere story from 2009.


Some guy would get a lot of pusssy and all he ever gave to women were bags of Skittles.

The Skittles Man story is basically proof of Alpha Fuccks and Beta Bucks. In the blog post, Skittles Man was directly compared to a guy who had a wedding with $15,000 flowers (in today's dollars, that's roughly $20,881 per the CPI Inflation Calculator).

In most cases, texting good night is a bit cringe. Saying it in person is acceptable, but there's no need to text it.
