As I talk to woman. I always feel akward in the convo when she says she has a boyfriend. How should I respond to this?

You should congratulate people! Then admire her, no wonder you recently more beautiful friends, the original is with nourishing love it!

Keep on talking and ignore it, do not try to escalate yet, just keep the conversation going and if she does not seem interested then try your luck with another woman.

Depends what you want from the girl. If you want to fuck her / make her your gf just say. "Ah what a shame" . Then move on to a girl who doesn't tell you that she has a boyfriend.

If a chick says to be she has a boyfriend, I just say "oh yea cool" and go on gaming her like she never said it.

Just ignore it, about 50% of chicks cheat on their boyfriends anyway.

Ignore it. Usually it's a shit-test anyway, if it isn't, proceed as usual.

Totally ignore it as if she hadn't even said it.

Wow, a lot of posts about this lately. It's not usually a shit test, it's usually an IOD. You can keep gaming if you want, but you are starting in a hole. I usually game a little more escalating aggressively to just find out real quick if she has an interest or not; usually she doesn't have interest, because well, girls do have boyfriends they don't want to cheat on sometimes, and even if not, her telling you she has a boyfriend is a pretty clear obvious IOD.

Again, contrary to most PUA "beliefs", "I have a bf" is NOT a shit test, it is an IOD, and generally means your chances are MUCH lower than with a girl who doesn't say this. I'm pretty sure as I've posted multiple times, PUA logic likes people to believe that you can get a girl who says she has a bf easily because it is a great selling point for products and bootcamps.

I think the point is more telling people to assume it is a shit test, because if you assume it isn't, and it is legit for real - you've failed somewhere you might have passed and gotten the girl.

I've assumed it was a shit test before (when it, in fact, wasn't) and pursued the girl pretty hard. It turned out she actually did have one, didn't like him much, eventually dropped him and fucked me. She was pretty cute too.

Yea and in that time you probably could have fucked 20 cute girls who didn't have boyfriends.

I wasn't not fucking girls during that period.

I think I fucked like 3 the week I fucked her?

To be fair, that's definitely higher than an average week for me. More around the peak of my effectiveness.

The more attractive the girl the more she is approached. The more she is approached the more likely she will say "I have a BF" it's an autopilot response. If you're going to bail out at this point you've failed, unless you definitely know she has a boyfriend it's a good heuristic to barrel through and see what happens and use your pua skills to create attraction.

I see where you're coming from in that time is a valuable commodity (especially in a club) but you will get a handle on the dynamic with mins and if the girl is an HB9+ it's time well invested. Look up the book by Nassim Taleb on truncated barbell investments called "The Black Swan" it applies to the stock market but the principles can be utilised in PUA too.

Plus if she's really hot you're going to get the preselection as well during the interaction. If you realise the situation is going nowhere then end it by shaking your head a lot and pushing her away in a jokey manner so any female observers see it as you ending the interaction.

When panhandlers ask me "can you spare any change?" I always reply no. Then again I could be lying to them to get rid of them......
