18, in college, decently good looking, just not too much luck with pickin up chicks.

I am reading "The Game", and have read about Negs. I have also done some research on the topic.

However Im not sure what to do if I say if they are offended or something.

Also can someone list the IOIs for me?

welcome to the forums. i'd suggest not using negs so early on when your starting off. people often misuse/overuse them.

some IoIs include: touching you on your arm, playing with her hair, constant eye contact, picking up the convo when it starts to die off.. theres so many more you can find from searching the forums.

Yeah becareful because a lot of times guys cross the fine line of a neg and an insult.

This seems to be a pretty common theme. In fact the other night I hear 2 guys busting out a few old routines from the game and I couldn't help but wonder if they read the book, and then never looked into it more.

Start off reading popular blogs like Sinns for some more modern info, and yeah stay away from negging for a while. Normal or not, unless you know what your doing your just going to piss girls off for no reason (there are other things to be learning early on anyways)

Negs really aren't necessary. In fact, you can get the same effect by simply mostly ignoring the girl in the group and you don't even have to worry about negging. Their mind does all the work for you by wondering "why's he talking to everyone a lot, except for me? QQ". Which I find is just as effective.

At our particular age range is where the game is the most difficult (in my opinion). Many girls are at VERY different parts in their life and calibration's key. I tend to like slightly younger girls (I'm a freshman in college, 16-18yo highschoolers are really easy to DHV on). Once you get your first success (just as I did the other evening), you'll gain a lot more confidence.

I was ignoring a girl while talking to her roommate, and she interrupts with "How tall are you?" I took it as a, he is not talking to me, but he is cute, I need to say something. I replied in decent fashion, and talked a bit more into different subjects like why soccer should be called football? etc. Before I screwed up by boring her, but you get the picture, IOI come in all sorts, but if she pays any attention to you, analyze the reason, if there is no reason, she is into you or something.

lot of what i read is right i mean negs r to make u discernible from other guys and disarm BS(b*tch shield) and anything from anyone got taken wrong u never apologize and just come up with some wittier and smartier it's basically battle of the witts

I personally believe all guys game is there but what MM,C&F and things like that do is build our confidence u know

I'm seconding what these guys have said. Negs are not necessary what so ever. They do get the important factor out there though. Which I believe is somewhat of a shock and awe situation. You're just trying to get their emotions going. Humor, Attraction, Curiousity, Neglect, Happy.. You're just finding ways to pull at each of these strings.

As for the confidence what helped me most was just practicing on people I knew. Even talking to a friend about a routine you're going to run and talking it out helps a ton. If you have a good girl friend then use some with her. Practice makes perfect! The confidence comes quick.

You'll notice girls notice the confidence change as well. I've noticed that I get more girls looking me over and opening me when I walk in the room since I've started this whole game. You radiate "I'm the one you want".

It's really not what you say either. It's how you say it and your body language. So I mean don't just say gay shit but be confident in who you are and what you say.

But it helped me out on knowing some material so here's what has helped me throughout it all.

Negs-

-Man, those shoes look comfortable
-I like the dress, but explain the shoes
-Your hair would look good/better up/down
-I like the skirt/shirt/whatever they're getting pretty popular
-" " my mom has one pretty similar
-That was Rude! (don't ask why but it seems to work)
-So demanding
---The best however are something you come up with

IOI's

-What's your name?
-Keep asking questions..(a good neg is am I getting interviewed?)
-Physical contact
-Hitting
-Smart Ass comments
-Their Body language in general

Speaking of body language though. Lean back when talking to them act as though you'll walk away at any time

5 Questions, if you're looking for something easy that works, has worked like a champ everytime I've used it. You have to bet something on it though

Hope this helps ya out
