And if this qualifies as flirting on Finlays part I find that extremely depressing. I assumed flirting involved being charming and witty, not the adult equivalent of pulling a girl's pigtails.
You're in a pickup forum. What did you think you were going to find here? Serious question.
It's psychology - not charm. And it's try after try after try of seeing what works and what doesn't. I have personally failed thousands of times. Literally thousands. I've also succeeded a lot.
I can tell you that had you and I been doing this in person, you wouldn't be nearly as "turned off" on me as you are right now (nobody is SERIOUSLY trying to pick you up here... this is all fun and games and we all know you're writing a report, so don't get offended. I'm trying to teach you by showing you).
In person, every line I dropped on you would have been delivered with a smirk or a smile. You'd have known I was joking - but you'd have sensed I wanted nothing to do with you, and that I really wasn't interested in you.
What you'd have also seen was me controlling a room or an SPAM, being the most fun person in the room, and having 3 other 9s hanging off me... so you'd have probably wanted to be a part of it. Subconsciously or not... Me making you qualify yourself (and that is what you did... subconsciously or not, you wanted me to know you were a size 4 and not a giant) is something we all do here.
Then you've have turned to your buddy, Jack-Zero, who'd have told you how awesome I was, cause he's my wingman... but you don't know he's my wingman.
He'd have let you complain all about me, though...
Do I wind up with 'girlfriends' from this kind of game? Not normally, no. I do, however, end up with a lot of angry sex from women who end up seeing me as a conquest or a challenge.
Maybe you aren't the type to sleep with guys from a bar that you just met... I promise you a lot of women are, though... and that's pickup.
