Bird Larry

@Ulax First mistake, use simpler vocabulary. People don't like it. It's hard to persuade people.

Lol, all this just makes me not want to go to western countries. Making a martyr for the wrong people. An idolization of irresponsibility. Thank god im not there. As if it's so hard to understand something new that is going on. Firas explains things very clearly. Sometimes wisdom breaks, even in america or any western society.

Eliminate them. But respectfully and humanely of course.

This is the long version of Krishnamurti talking about being a "good boy" or "girl" In short, Krishnamurti puts emphasis on sensitivity being a major factor to become a good human being. People try to discard the senses, but he wanted his students to learn deeply, think deeply, watch, listen, feel. The "good" person is not a "nice" person, and many may object to the use of the word "good" because of the moral connotations that we may put into it mistakenly. But if we are to investigate deeply, anything good cannot have an opposite, like evil, just like how beauty doesn't have it also.

@Ethan1 I feel also, with writing, we need to not repress our feelings. We are taught to express with our speech and in real life, but I dont see anybody helping us express through writing. Be it anger or positivity, knowing how to express that through writing is good. So if the girl disrespects, its not a bad thing to confront. Don't be a pussy and just run away. Tell her off. Tell anybody off who direspects.

@Arcangelo Well, the way you text can impact her feelings as much as real life interactions. So to tell him "don't focus on texting, and just focus on real life interaction" is just as blasphemous. The way he texts can make her interested, and the way he texts can make her lose interest and not reply to him at all. This isn't because the guy who posted this question is attractive or not. It simply because he doesn't know how texting works. Just teach him and the other girl he gets a phone number on, it will be easy-mode on getting her on dates. Texting isn't a big deal. You don't need to be attractive to do this well. Just take time before answering a text. Don't say anything needless. IF you are patient when you respond, she will help you be patient and respond herself. But ultimately, texting alone won't have you be successful. But also real life interaction alone won't have you be successful. Even with friendships and networks. Writing has its own importance above speaking and body language which cannot be expressed just through it. To think of texting as not important is a mistake in building relationships.

Well, then I'm happy you are not a try-hard as you say you make great results.

@something_else With 4 words, you can bed a girl. With 4 words you can repel a girl. Yeah, I don't understand how my advice to 'spend a long time coming up with a response' can have you translate it as 'write a long paragraph to the girl in text'. With 4 words you can kill a person. With 4 words you can save a person from suicide. Simple. But it takes effort to say those right things. If you write even those four words without thinking, you'll fail.

@hyruga Todd, the guy just seems, not fun at all... I've watched one of his courses on texting... He just... complicates things. haha. Just write, think before you write. Don't rush into things. But he has these jargons and theories, and rules about texting, lol. I don't think theories are needed to write a good text.

@something_else Congratulations.

There are no such girls who like long paragraph texts from a stranger. I'd like to know where you've seen such a girl.

Again, I would have to ask you, how on earth have you understood my texts as if I've said a man should send long paragraphs to text a girl? Could you quote? Here's why I find it hard to believe you when you try to advice anyone how to text to a girl. Because you couldn't even translate a basic paragraph I've said into your own words right. I said, think long before speaking any (long or short, it doesn't matter, I haven't specified) sentence. My texts with girls are most 4 words or less. Occasional 2 sentences. I find it hard you are a good texter, when you can't even read a paragraph I've wrote out of my thoughtless head.

@Tyler Robinson You'll have to understand. Even a needy guy wouldn't care to text immediately or be a bad texter. I've seen guys horrible with women be excellent with texts. And as I see it, women, too are horrible texters, as much as guys. Maybe women are worse than men (maybe this has gone too far). I've read from Jane Austen that she considers women to write better letters than men. Maybe that's true. But men usually are better writers. Hemmingway, Tolstoy...etc. So we both have different opinions. With enough introspection and a tiny bit of foresight, even if the guy is retarded with women, he can write a decent text to get her responding well. I've seen it happen many times. For example for me, I've had women just go on a date with just me texting 3 times, when I've talked to her only a minute on the streets. But when we met, and I've said some awkward things about sex, she didn't respond to my texts after that day. So you can be a good texter, but be different otherwise.

@Tyler Robinson I'm Larry Bird. You don't know who Larry Bird is, don't you.

@Tyler Robinson Who are you talking to. Me?
