I've been approaching a lot lately. There's always been some question in my mind whether it's better to text or call so I decided to alternate. Every other number I got I either texted or called.
The data set: 20 numbers over the last month. I texted and called 10 numbers respectively.
The results:
Texts - 2 returned texts. No dates.
Calls - 2 fake numbers, 3 returned calls, 3 dates.
Ages/rank on the returned calls and dates: 22/8, 27/6 and 30/9.
The 27 year old returned my call with a text within an hour. I then setup the date via text. The 22 year old returned my call with a text the next morning and we setup the date via text. The 30 yd returned my call with a call within an hour and we setup the date on the phone.
Verdict: Call. The biggest advantage to calling is you know right away if you've got a fake number. If a girl gives a fake number I can replay that approach in my head and see if I missed a cue from her that would have told me the timing or vibe wasn't right to go for the number. Second advantage is you can read her emotions on the phone. The 30yd 9 is the hottest girl I've approached since reading Bang (she could pass for 22), she took a little warming up on the phone and I was able to time asking her out perfectly. Finally the girls who were into me but didn't want to talk on the phone texted back. Nobody seemed put off by the phone call.
For phone game I do have a few things working for me: I have a deep and steady voice. Girls have told me it's sexy and calming. I'm also fast on my feet. I can joke around with a girl on the phone and give her slight negs in a way that just doesn't work for me over text. I asked the 9 out using a callback neg to the one I opened her with the night I approached her.
It was a small sample size and your results may vary. I'd be interested to hear if anybody else has tracked similar numbers and what their results were.
