This is written by a woman so theres some good insight on here for phoning the girls
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some things that men and women may never agree on, like the pleasures of shoe shopping, Meryl Streep movies, the merits of tofu, going to the bathroom in pairs, and of course, talking on the phone for hours and hours... and hours.

Think of how attached you are to your Xbox. Now multiply that by 10: that's how much most women enjoy talking on the phone. For women, the phone is much more than a mere communication device, handy for making plans and ordering pizza. Oh no, for women, the phone is an all-out activity; an event; a source of entertainment comparable to a night of tequila shots and lap dances.

And not only is the phone a source of entertainment for women, it can also provide a healthy dose of intellectual stimulation; in fact, a good phone conversation can even replace reading an issue of any woman's magazine.
ring her bell
Once men begin to understand women's fanatical love of the phone and the crucial role that it plays in their lives, men can approach the phone with the respect it deserves, and treat telephone conversations with skilled tolerance rather than bored annoyance.

Learning to skillfully handle phone conversations can make the difference between a mediocre and a fantastic relationship. If you want to talk your way into her heart, you may need to do some of that talking over the phone.

If a phone conversation consists of a 30-second monosyllabic exchange to you, you may need to master 8 phone friendly moves to become a truly smooth operator in her eyes.

1- Have something to say
If you're the one making the call, make sure that you have something significant to say -- something she'd be interested in hearing. Calling to invite her out, ask for her fettuccine Alfredo recipe or what you should wear to dinner at your boss' house, or to tell her you love her new haircut, are all acceptable conversation starters (especially the part about the haircut).

2- Personalize your conversation
Many men complain that the phone is too impersonal, whereas for most woman, the phone is one of the most personal means of communication. Women don't use the phone just to call a cab. Nothing is too personal to talk about over the phone, and women can spend hours discussing their deepest and most intimate secrets, darkest fears, childhood traumas, and other emotional baggage.

You, however, might not be ready to discuss the deep pain you felt when your childhood puppy Binky was hit by a car. Nevertheless, there are steps you can take to make phone conversations with your honey less impersonal.

Try looking at a picture of her whilst talking on the phone. Seeing her face while you're speaking might help you feel more connected to her and may help you open up a bit.

Multitask, ask questions and leave her begging for more...

3- Learn to multitask
So you think talking on the phone is a waste of time? Guess what? Your woman probably doesn't. Hang on, don't hang up yet. Talking on the phone doesn't mean the rest of your day has to be put on hold; all you have to do is learn to multitask.

To avoid devoting your full attention to the phone, buy one that has a speaker phone option, so you can talk while moving around; or better yet, invest in a handy headset, so you can have both your hands free to pursue, uh, other endeavors. Even a cordless can allow you to fold your clothing or even do the dishes, all the while chatting it up with your woman.

4- Become one with the phone
Multitasking is not for everybody -- if you really can't concentrate on clipping your toenails and talking on the phone at the same time, you may want to try focusing solely on the conversation itself. Chances are that if the two of you are talking in the first place, you do have a slight interest in what she has to say. So sit down, gaze lovingly into the phone receiver and just listen.

5- Ask open-ended questions
Open-ended questions require way more than a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Be prepared. Have a list of "safe" questions at your disposal, so that she can do most of the talking. For example, questions about her cat and her new stereo are phone-friendly.

Questions about her relationship with her mother or the picture of that mystery boy on her shelf are not. If, for some unforeseen reason, the phone conversation begins to veer in the direction of the meaning of your relationship, quickly intervene with a question about her award-winning chili, so you can sit back and let her gab away.

6- Take control of the conversation
It's true. Women's phone conversations have no emotional boundaries whatsoever, and if allowed to run wild, these conversations can run to dangerously steep emotional depths. If the only tears you want to shed while talking on the phone are from the onions you're chopping for your dinner, you need to take control of the conversation and steer it away from any deep, emotional drop-offs.

To remain in control of the chatter, you need to be the one doing most of the asking. If you merely respond to what she says, she may sneakily lure you into talking about your feelings and other "no-win situation" questions.

7- Always leave her wanting more
Who do you think is sexier: Peter Parker or Spider-Man? Spidey is because he's mysterious and unpredictable. So take his 8-legged lead and weave a web of mystery around your conversation. Don't tell her every teeny, insignificant detail about your life. Maybe you are a world-class ping-pong player -- but save that gem for another conversation.

8- Exit gracefully
Luckily for you, all phone conversations must, alas, come to an end -- but don't be fooled; you need to factor in at least an extra five minutes for the goodbye talk. Saying goodbye to a woman on the phone is like overtime in hockey -- we think the game's over, but oh no, there's a whole other period.

So get that stick back on the ice because abruptly saying "Gotta go, game's on," doesn't qualify as an acceptable goodbye. Ease into the finale. Try getting off the phone using sincere statements that let her know that you enjoyed the conversation and hope to see and talk to her soon. If you really are in a big rush, tell her your mother just walked in, your chili is burning, your phone battery is dying, or your pet rattlesnake isn't in his cage.

I have my doubts about anything written by a woman in relation to what women want from men. That article can be summarised as "when talking on the phone, act like a woman."

In my experience, this is good only if she is your fiance or very close gf or something. Else you could easily fell into 'just friends' category which you wanna void at all cost, if you talk like a woman, she gonna treat you like one, in other words, she won't fuck you.

But for being PUA, keep conversation short, making her want more and more. When it is hardest for you to hang up, remember it could be same for her (if convo is going real well), guess what? now it is the time to HANG UP!!!! Cause she don't want you to leave....

that is my piece of advice...

I drew a diagram for a fellow PUA the other day (he's a coworker as it happens). Two circles with a slight overlap. One circle is what women really want. The other is what women say or think they want. There's a slight overlap, but not much. The size of the overlap varies from girl to girl. The overlap is bigger in English girls than American girls, even bigger with Swedish girls. If you're a nun then there's no overlap.

I think I'll call it 'the Speedbird overlap diagram' since I invented it.

I definitely agree with all of the things our female poster has to say,

If I was conversing with my pivot...

short and sweet on the phone
high impact in person works the best in my experience

it's impossible to shift into kino routines on the phone

I've never fuck-closed on the phone, I doubt any of you have either...

Thanks,that was pretty useful.

Well.. this ariticle isn't all that incorrect. From my experience, a short phone call can be flaky if a purpose of the call was to make some kind of meet up. Long meaningful conversation for both parties are the best. If I can talk with a girl for about 40min or so on the phone then she is locked in for day 2. I also use phone to test how much she is in to me. If me and her are having fun on the phone then she must be really into me.

there are many suggestions made here that would be great to use in a phone convo, but like the rest of the PUAs i agree, many articles written by women giving advice to men arnt usually the best haha

Seeing as I got my start in pickup just talking to random, cute, online girls I probably have more experience in this field than any other. You can definately turn a girl on if you make a good convo, you can even do it on AIM.

I think the trick is to keep telling her you are interested so they don't put you in the friend zone, you have to make that blatantly obvious because you don't have Kino to back you up
