The Cell phone/Facebook generation

[RSanders219]

Also on the argument of "Things have changed" in relation to the FB, texting, and other social networking web phenomena... Think of it like adaptation and Herbert Spencer's phrase "Survival of the Fittest".

A new environment is brought upon man (Social network sites, texting, etc..) In the early/mid 2000s. The men that are weak in their game will fall victim to this new environment, and the men that are strong will surpass.

I truly believe SoSuave is a great database of information in order to remain in that top pack. We have the ability to overcome this new environment with all of the information we share. Fvck.. I was so lost with women about 1 year ago. Since joining this site I have had WAY WAY WAY more success with women than ever before.. Not only that, but my self-confidence has risen tremendously and have learned to set goals for myself and to achieve.

It's the most egotistical trend in history.

I agree.

But look guys, it only works if we play along with it.

Emails and texting are women's forms of communication.
The telephone is a MAN'S form of communication.

Why?

Because text-based communication puts the ball in the girl's court. She can phrase things however she wants. She can stop responding when she wants. She can take as much time as she wants. Meanwhile, the guy has sent a "text" and instead of having peace of mind, he is checking his phone like an idiot to see if she responded back.

With a telephone call, she either picks up or she doesn't. If she picks up, you control the conversation and find out the information you want to. If she doesn't pick up, screw it.

I don't even carry my cell phone around most of the time. I leave it plugged in at home. There's no law that you have to carry a cell phone around everywhere. I hear everyone moaning about how hard it is to live now with all this social media and cell phones and crap, and I just laugh...because I never bought into it in the first place.

Stay in 20th century mode and you'll have a lot more peace of mind. And maybe even encourage better behavior from women in the process.

I agree with the first about calling, can't argue with that, one 5 minute phone call will give you more 411, then a week's worth of text. However t his whole notion to stay in "20th century mode" is backwards, eventually you will have to conform or adapt. If that style works for you, great I can't knock it, but having a FB, and utilizing it to your advantage can be done, without losing mystery, or sacrificing anytime, for example I got buddies who rarely go on their FB, but they have one. Then a guy like myself I'm on it all the time but its helped me in terms of social proof/pres election due to my hobbies i.e. photography, video production, going to new restaurants etc

When girls ask me if I have facebook I always tell them that I do not have a Facebook or Twitter because I don't have time for that. Everytime I say that I know that in the conversation I established myself as the Alpha.

To be honest, the amount of complaining about and dissing social media/text messaging on this forum bothers me more than social media/text messaging does on its own.

It's simply how things are now. Why do we have 74 threads here all talking about how much it sucks?

Plenty of people have either found ways around it, or found ways to incorporate it into their game positively.

Great post.


My cell stays in my coat pocket usually, on silent. I check it every few hours, give or take. Everyone is used to this in my social circle, and my girlfriend knows that she might not get an answer if she texts me. Works for me.

Adapt or die. Stop b*tching about it.

If people didn't like Facebook and texting and instant messaging they wouldn't be using it, but the fact remains that 3/4 of the US population has a Facebook, and the majority of those people log in every single day of their lives. You can't just sit here, plug your ears, and refuse this stuff. It's here, and it's only going to become more widespread.

This is 2011, we are bombarded with absolutely ridiculous amounts of information daily and must find ways to time manage. Time is the most precious quantity we have, and we are all looking for ways to conserve it and make better use of it.

Quite frankly, if you are college-aged and going after quality girls they are going to be want to use Facebook. They are in college too, and if their goal is to do anything interesting with their life they will be busy as **** studying and accomplishing things. It's a favor to both of you, it allows you to communicate when it's convenient. I don't know about any of you, but I know that around 80% of the time when my phone goes off I'm in the middle of something and will let it go to voicemail, women are the same way.

On the other hand, I check Facebook once or twice a day, when it's convenient, and give any messages I've received the proper minute or two of attention they deserve.

Sure, you can't get a girl all excited with your sexy voice, and might have to focus on actually being witty and clever with a medium that is notorious for poor emotional communication, but step it up! It's just like a phone, your words reach her just as well, they just loose inflection.

very good

**** that stupid ****. You have less competition now because almost every guy out there is a boring f@g without balls these days.

Facebook is for keeping contact with people you don't see that often. I travel around quite a lot these days and it's a perfect medium to keep in touch with friends. Trying to game girls through that is creepy as ****. Why would you give a **** about how many facebook friends she has or about some fags she messages with on there. Let them post lame ass comments on her photo's; you're better than them anyway. These stupid douchebag p*ssies with their shaved chests who take pictures of themselves in the mirror, I laugh at all of them.

In terms of gaming, all this digital sh*t waters down your personality when you interact with her. Texting or facebook can be convenient to set up a meeting or do a little teasing when you're already in, but that's where it ends. The only way to really blow her away is in a face-to face interaction. Or did you want to have some virtual sex with her, too? There are actually online games out there where you can do that. Go for it!

Or rather, don't be a wussy and leave some sh*tty message with a wink-smiley at the end on facebook, like all the p*ssy LAME ASSES do all the time. Meet up, look her in the eyes and grab her ass. No apologies. BONER TIME. Aggressively make out with her on the first date and at least try to f*ck her. My dog doesn't have facebook and he gets laid all the time.

Stop being such big ****ing wussies for chrissake. There's no problem with all this sh*t if you don't create one. Blaming Facebook and texting on you not being able to get chicks is trying to put your own shortcomings on something else. It's not facebook, it's YOU.




By the way, hint: if a chick texts during a date, you're boring her.

 

[sirBill]

Well dude, I'm not advocating writing long, drawn out memoirs, that's not really a good idea, unless you're rich or famous, in which case it'll probably work.

You just do what you do with the phone. Send the girl a darn message, something to the effect of "hey, do you want to get drinks this thursday? I can pick you up at 10".

For the record I value face-to-face time too, I don't waste time composing masterful facebook messages, but I also don't waste hours on the phone when I"m inevitably trapped talking on it, I setup dates and get back to my life. Anything more is just wasting your's and the girl's time.

Integrate technology into your Game... assuming you have it. If you have no Game, no amount of technology is gonna help you.

There is no need for messages on facebook with this thing called texting...

Bingo. A lot of what I see in this thread is people not understanding how to adapt to the times or not wanting to change. Change happens deal with it.
