"That's how you perceive it"


A good reframing phrase - Chad Daring - 06-28-2011

I like using "Thats neat" for just about anything. There's something about the word "neat" thats just inherently backhanded and belittling, without being overt.

Give me an example dialogue of how you would use that.

her -"I just finished graduate school and got my Masters in graphic design"
Me - "Thats neat"

This was an actual conversation I had with a girl in Baltimore, my lack of enthusiasm and praise took her visibly off balance. She was waiting for the "Wow, thats so amazing, congratulations!"

The expected answer is "wow thats great" and more praise, by simply going with "thats neat" you arent saying anything bad or negative, but the connotation is backhanded. Neat is the kind of word you use when talking to children. A three year old does a shitty cartwheel and goes "Look at me look at me" you say "that was neat" to appease them.

Neat concept Chad.

Good stuff. Here's one I use:

- Someone gives you a compliment
"I'm glad you liked it."


It's a bit more empathetic than "Thanks." I use this more with friends and family than with girls though [Image: smile.gif]

Her: "I just finished graduate school and got my Masters in graphic design"
Roosh: "When was the last time you had sex?"

Roosh,

Would you ever really say that? With a "Jeeze that must suck--when was the last time you had sex??" kind of vibe..

Hah

When would you pull out a line like that though? I cant imagine that going over very well anytime before midnight, or am I wrong?



Another one used in a slightly specific situation, when a girl is attention baiting and trying to get a compliment, lets say about her new haircut.

What she wants you to say "I love your new hair"
What I say "I like girls with {insert hair style} hair"

You deliver the compliment, but you dont personalize it. You arent complimenting her, hell you could possibly be complimenting someone else. It plays on the natural neurosis of most women.

Same thing goes with saying "You look really good RIGHT NOW" vs "You look really good" You modify the statement and put a expiration on it. This gives incentive to try again next time, since she doesnt inherently look good, its just right now when she's put effort in that she looks good. I hear a lot of black/spanish guys say this and something tells me its not coincidence that black/spanish girls tend to dress better more often.
