Whatsapp: Squaring the Text vs Phone debate
11-09-2013, 01:11 PM
Okay, so Whatsapp is fantastic, and has many advantages over conventional texting.
1- Instantaneous - --- Like folks have mentioned above, the almost zero time lag allows for the possibility of conversation, instead of a series of texts being sent back and forth. An added plus considering the terribly short attention spans people have.
The time lag gap between texting and whatsapp is similar to communicating via morse code and telephone......the first was faster than most other ways then, and good enough to communicate, but the calling allowed for way better conversations. Nothing beats face to face communication, but IMing using apps like whatsapp does make conversations faster and more versatile, with minimal time investment.. For example, I was able to talk about my preference for my girl"s left boob over her right one while I was taking a dump. She was incensed,one thing led to another, and she turned up at my place in the afternoon. I made sure to ignore her right boob altogether, and she made for pleasant company. Plus a couple boob pics. Low effort, low investment, decent return. Wouldntve worked with conventional texting, this.
2- Vetting girls - So you go out, get a bunch of makeouts and numbers, and you want to pipeline some of these girls. Maybe you forgot their names, or what they looked like, or perhaps she told you she was single but refused to put out? You have her number, so check her whatsapp out. What sort of photo does she have up? Is it slutty, is it a duckface, is it some random flower, or four guys kissing her? What is her "status"? Does it give you some sort of clue about about her love life, her emotional leanings, her personality. If you're good at cold reading, very often a girl's Whatsapp profile will be gold. And if you're not, I implore you to study and become good at it.
Also helps when you're not sure if the girl's given you a fake number, saves you time and effort (and possible embarrasment) texting random strangers.
3- Let your own profile be your wingman --- Does a girl who made out with you yday refuse to recognise you in public? Maybe you had a great connection with a great girl but she forgot your name.? Did you not get the opportunity to DHV, or is there more to you than the 15 min convo you had yday?
Use your profile to peacock.
Choose a good pic, similar to what you would on OKC or FB or other such sites.
In addition, put up a decent status.
If youre like me and value your privacy, also change your name to a pseudonym or initials.
Use this to build mystery or DHV, be blatant or be subtle, but be congruent.
And then, go ahead and ping those random chicks from yday who probably don't remember you today.
Having a decent photo and status will greatly improve the odds that a girl will respond to you, or open you of her own. Massive improvement over text.
But hey, being the poon warrior that you are, you're not content to just have a nice profile. You can use your profile to gain hand,spike her emotions,moisten her snatch and make her hunger for you.
In a fight with a girlfriend? Update status a pseudo elitist suffering statemtnt, change your photo to a tinted/b&w/blurred pic.
Bitch acting cold or losing interest? Shorten your rplies, update your status to a random smiley/non sequitur/YOLO/live-life-to-the-fullest type, update your pic to one with many girls (or one hot girl), or DJing, or paragliding etc.
You've got your girl but want to build attraction/rapport? FightClub quote and a photo where you're highly engaged or very macho (a boxing pic/ playing a violin/changing a tyre/readin a book----add a whiskey--works brilliantly).
Etc.
4- Last seen, Typing, etc ----- So you are probably aware that the person who cares less in the relationship (usually) has more power...hence newbies are advised to keep their texts shorter and further apart than those received. Whatsapp introduced a "last seen" option, providing insecure partners more things to be insecure about.
Say u ask a chick if she's free for dinner, at 4pm. Her last seen status is 4:09 pm. Which means she read your text and did not reply. Cue jealousinsecurerage.
Also, when ur online, it shows ur status as online (there's an option to deactivate these statuses in a few phones, tho I urge u to use them to your advantage).
How can you use this to your advantage.? Flip the script on chicks (and be mean to the nice ones once in a while). When chicks ping you, ignore their texts once in a while. With whatsapp, the last seen thing ensures that they know you've seen the texts and not replied. Helps with hand, be careful not to overuse.
Also, when you're having conversations, keep your whatsapp open bt do not reply immediately. Occasionally, keep the window open for a while before closing it or replying. Since whatspp is almost instantaneous, shell be used to u replying pretty fast. When ur seen online, shell assume ur typing and wait....keep her waiting. Even a delay of 3-4 min will rustle her up a bit and get the hamster spinning. This is the equivalent of standing up in the middle of a conversation and staring at a chick across the hall/goin for a piss etc. Helps maintain hand, get the hamster spinning, the whole alpha image
Also, if uve entered text in the chat window make sure u send it. Don't wait with text preentered. Seeing a "...is texting" followed by "online" the chick may pick up on the fact tht your merely acting pricey and not really busy. Remember---she smells blood, your game is up. Salvageable, but why risk it? Hit send and then stay online.
This point is really unnecessary vivisection, becoming instinctive as you get better, but posted for the sake of completeness.
5- Pic and Audio sharing ---- her naked pics.
Also, a lot of times pictures are excellent ways of carrying forward/stoppin conversations, shutting up a girl, keeping interest etc. For eg---- I have a pic which has Peas on a table, with the title "Bitch, peas" in bold. Every time a girl starts acting snobby, I send her the pic. Most usually laugh and revert to better moods. Helps to keep a few stock images that u can use in conversations...
Caveat- don't go overboard, use your judgement and good taste.
Video --- a funny vid, a cute vid and a sexy vid. That's all I have. Wen a girl is down and I'm busy, I send her the cute vid(an animated pig and a delightful kid singing in italian). Tell her to keep lookin at it till I'm free. This usually cheers them up and improves my significnce in their lives. Low investmennt, then I meet her up and swoop her off her feet with my charisma and great listening skills(if she's hot).
Audio ----- very rare, I usually prefer talkin on the phone. For eg----- I never text gn etc, and drew a lot of flak from my girl for it for a lot of time. So one day, I recorded a full song sung at the top of my voice and sent it to her at night. "What??????? Was??????? That??????" She asked. I said that's my way of saying gn, asked her to repeat it every night wen I didn't wish her. No more nagging for a year, problem solved without giving in to her demands
Also, with whatsapp groups and broadcasts, it is possible to play up your social circle game and mass text loads of chicks, but I believe that most ppl here will be able to do tat with ease.
By this time I'm sure you'll agree that whatsapp is better and more versatile than conventional texting.
Whether you use it and to what extent is dependent on your M.O.and mojo.
Cheers
