Lot of great points made in this thread. It's a timely topic.
My take:
Flaking is a part of the game now whether you like it or not. There are a lot of reasons for it, but unless you are a top 5% earner like Guru pointed out, you are going to have to set your own bar as to what you will tolerate and what you will NEXT for.
To me flaking is a preemptive weed-out mechanism. It simply means low interest, 9 times out of 10. The reason for the low interest is irrelevant! I dont believe in trying to conjure up interest with clever game tactics and timed responses. Either they like you or they dont. NEXTing has nothing to do with teaching them a lesson--that will never happen. It's about self-respect. Obviously we should always be working on improving our social game, but that does not mean trying to micromanage each encounter so you can augment interest. There is nothing masculine about that, and if you're doing it you give too much of a fvck.
I see where Roosh is going with his prognosticating but I also think he's coming from a player's perspective. I'm with Kailex here---if a great night and a kiss isnt enough to land a second date, the interest isnt there. I think a big part of this is realizing you are not a scrub and you're worth a damn. You dont need to bang a girl to land a second date...does anyone else see how ridiculous that sounds?? We're not fvcking desperados here.
