Purposely delaying text frequency.

[Knight of Roses]

So, we all know the cardinal rules about not texting too soon to avoid being desperate. However, we all know these behaviors are not necessary if you yourself are a busy and high value person. Question is, I am just someone who is always by their phone. I run a large company, I get emails, texts from employees, etc.. all the time on my phone. So when a girl does text, it's not that I'm desperate or patiently waiting for her message, it just so happens that Im always in a position to see the message pop up and in a position to shoot off a quick reply.

Should I purposely delay returning these texts? What do you all think?

I do whatever I want. If the phone is in my hand and it makes sense to send a reply, then I do.
If it’s something she said that seems off or is a statement I may not.
In fact a text message doesn’t require a reply.

No there are no cardinal rules. Guys who are desperate will look desperate no matter how infrequently they try to text and guys who aren't desperate can text as much as they want and it wont matter because they wont come off as desperate.

These rules are not rules merely training wheels to help desperate dudes look less desperate. Once you truly are not desperate you can throw these rules out the window so you can grow. Rules limit growth.

Bottom Line is learn how to actually not be desperate instead of learning how to not appear desperate.

Good points. Sometimes I will text back and forth for a whole 30 minutes or so. Sometimes even sexting as a form of foreplay.

Now if I can’t think of anything to say, I just stop texting. If she’s fishing for a compliment, I stop texting. I had one say that she doesn’t feel close a guy if he doesn’t throw in once and while that she’s pretty. I didn’t text back. The next day she said, “what happened to you? You just dropped off. I was only kidding.”
I didn’t fall for that crap. I don’t give out compliments until I think she’s done something awesome.

See men don’t know that there are little traps in those texts from a woman. Anything that causes you to go into agreement (hint) is most likely a trap.

When I see something that doesn’t feel right...I just make fun of her.

Sent this one last night...
“Oh bu!!$hit. You’re a spoiled brat and you and I both know it.
There’s only one cure for that and it requires a damn spanking. “

I can post part of that conversation if you don’t believe it. She throws that compliment and praise garbage at me all the time. It’s like a game now because she says it turns her on when I’m mean to her.
She’s even been angry at something I’ve said before. I don’t apologize because she said some “stroke me” crud.

Yeah for real, I’m always by my phone and reply quickly, sometimes I’ll view a message then wait until later that day to reply, whatever floats my boat.

I would try too hard to delay responses because that sh1t is transparent as fvck. When girls do that to me that automatically go down in my estimations.
