TheFourKindsofTexters “The medium is the message.” So said Marshall McLuhan in Understanding Media:The Extensionsof Man (McLuhan,1994). McLuhan argued,just as the digitalagewasdawning,thatnotonlydoweadaptourcommunicationstyleto the channels we use... but that any channel we choose to use itself tells th personwe’retalkingtowhatkindofmessageitis.

Tobeginourbook,Iwanttointroduceyoutofourkindsoftexters.Threeo these texters don’t fully respect the medium (texting) as a message (quick simple,andlogistical).Thefourthonedoes–andhegetsthebestresults.Much ofthisbookwillbeaboutwhy,andtherestofitwillbeabouthowtotextgirl likehedoes. Beforewegettothat kindoftexter,first Iwanttotellyou aboutthethree far more common forms of texters on the dating market. These I’ve affectionatelydubbedCluelessBoringQuestionsGuy™,EndlessConversations Guy™,andReally,IncrediblyWittyandInterestingGuy™.
TheThreeNormalGuyTextingStyles There are three strains of text messaging styles prevalent among the men ou theretoday: 1. CluelessBoringQuestionsGuy™ 2. EndlessConversationsGuy™ 3. Really,IncrediblyWittyandInterestingGuy™
I’verankedthesestrainsinorderofprevalence,frommosttoleastencountered
Yeteventhoughhe’slast,theReally,IncrediblyWittyandInterestingGuy™i notallthatuncommon. Before we dive into what to do with girls to actually get results out o texting, let’s start with a look at what these three guys do, and why it doesn’ work.Trynottobemiffedifyourealizeyou’reoneoftheseguyshalfwayin.. becauseifyou are,you’reexactlythe targetdemographic ofthisbook. There’s hope. Can’tfixtheproblemunlessyouknowtheproblemexistsinthefirstplace right?
CluelessBoringQuestionsGuy™ To women, the most diabolically annoying texter is the Clueless Boring QuestionsGuy™,hereafterabbreviatedasCBQG.CBQGhaszerocluehowto textgirls,whatgirlswouldliketoseeinatextmessage,orevenwhatgirlsare likemostofthetimeingeneral,period.AtnotimehasCBQGeversatdownand askedhimself: “IfIwasagirl,howwouldIrespondtoamessagelikethis?” Heimmediatelyassumesthatallwomenarelikehim–lonelyandwithou manyoptions.Thus,theyshouldbethrilledtogettextsfromhim,evenifthey’re alljustcluelessboringquestionslike: “What’sup?” “How’sitgoing?” “Howwasyourweekend?” “Whatareyoudoing?” “Doyouhaveplans?”
CBQG assumes that girls must love getting texts like this from him. After all he’dlovegettingtextslikethisfromgirls.Soofcourseitmustgobothways. CBQGoftenbecomesfrustratedwhengirlsdon’tanswerhisquestions.He wonders why he doesn’t get replies. He thinks girls are difficult to understand andmakethingsneedlesslycomplicated. Heneverstopstorealizesheisn’tthereinpersonanddoesn’tgetthesame
level of context and expressiveness from him she would if he was ther (Critchley,Rotshtein,Nagai,O’Doherty,Mathias,&Dolan,2005). AtnopointdoesCBQGsitdownandthinktohimself:“Lameguysinundate mostgirlsalldaywithlamerequests.Mostguystext,write,andsaytogirlsthe samelamethingsall thetime.Oh no!IfI sendgirlslame texts,they’llassume I’mlame,too!” This never occurs to him, because CBQG knows himself so well that h knowsthathe’snotlame.Heassumesthateveryoneelsemustknowthis,too.. evenifhebehavesthesamewaythatothermen,whoactuallyarelame,do. “She’ll know I’m not lame, even if I seem totally lame,” CBQG thinks “Otherwise,she’stotallyshallowandnotworthmytime!” CBQG believes that it’s women’s responsibility to recognize his inne awesomeness.Girls must fightthrough the lameness heexhibits on the outside todiscoverhisawesomenessinside. CBQG spends many nights alone, angry, hurt, and confused by how th worldcanbesoconfusingandsocold.
EndlessConversationsGuy™ EndlessConversationsGuy™, hereafterECG,is usuallya CBQGwho cleaned uphisact.Oneday helookedathis phone,whichwasdevoidof repliestothe textshe’dsentout,andsaidtohimself: “IfIwasagirl,howwouldIrespondtoamessagelikethis?” ...andinaflashofsuddeninsight,herealizedhe’dbeendoingitallwrong. ECG is, you might say, on a more enlightened plane than CBQG. He’ realizedtheneedtoengageagirlindialogue.Andhe’srealizedgirlsdon’twan toanswercluelessboringquestions. Unfortunately, ECG still doesn’t get much further beyond “engage her in dialogue” – and there he’s usually stuck. ECG’s conversations tend to look somethinglikethis: ECG:Hey Shirley,how’dyour weekendgo? Isaw somefriends Saturday,butyesterday wasalljustrelaxing.
Girl: Hey, it was all right. My friend from out of town came to visit, so we went to a coupleofrestaurantsandsawsomesights...thatwasaboutit. ECG:Cool,whatsightsdidyousee? Girl:Oh,youknow,SeaWorld,theharbor,justtheusualthings. ECG: You know, I’ve been living here for 5 years and I’ve never seen Sea World. EveryonekeepstellingmeIshouldgo. Girl: I know, I didn’t go to Sea World until I was 19, and I grew up here. Isn’t that ridiculous?ButyouSHOULDgo,it’salotoffun. ECG: When I used to live on the East Coast, sometimes we’d go down and visit the Baltimore Aquarium. I don’t know if Sea World’s like an aquarium at all, but that place wasamazing.Ikindofmissgoingnow. Girl:It’snotreallyanaquarium...morelikeaplacewithseaanimalsthatdoesshows. ECG:Yeah,theyhadsomeofthoseattheBaltimoreAquariumtoo. Girl:Cool. ECG:Hey,so[conversationcontinues]
ECG treats his texting like written phone conversations. He doesn’t recogniz textingis supposed to be simpler in both language and function (Holtgraves & Paul, 2013). He doesn’t know that the more time she spends with him in tex chatsandthelesstimeshespendswithhiminperson,theworseshefeelsabou him, as researchers found studying teenage couples in 2014 (Luo, 2014). H never realizes these endless conversations are actually boring, pointless, and inane.Hedoesn’trealizemostgirlswhoengageinthesewithhimareeither(a justdoing it becausethey’re also bored, or(b) just too nice tonot send back a response. To him, it feels like he’s unlocked the key to texting girls: just keep texting. AsfarasECGknows,thisisjustanothernormalconversation...inwhichhe imaginesheisinchinghiswayeverclosertobecomingthisgirl’sbeau...every senttextbringinghimanothercouplecentimetersnearerherheart.... Youcanimaginehowfrustratedhegetswhenagirlhe’sspentsomuchtime with in endless conversations... endlessly dodges his date requests – and how perplexed he is to discover, after weeks or months of conversations, that some otherguyhasmanagedtobecomeherboyfriend.
“How can this be?” ECG thinks. “I thought we had such specia conversations!” He’s bewildered... it just doesn’t make sense. Why would she spend SO muchtimetalkingtohimandthengodatesomeoneelse?
Really,IncrediblyWittyandInterestingGuy™ LastbutnotleastisReally,IncrediblyWittyandInterestingGuy™,henceforth RIWIG. RIWIG is the next stage of evolution after ECG. He’s a man who’ realizedthatendlessconversationsdon’twork.They’reboring,killhisintrigue andeveryguyandhisbrotherengageinthemfruitlessly. RIWIG has more experience with girls than either CBQG or ECG. H knows women react well to humor and prefer interesting bad boys to uninterestingniceguys. “So,”goesRIWIG’slineofthinking,“whatcouldbebetterthanbeingabad boyviatextmessage?” Most texting advice you’ll see online or hear from friends comes from RIWIGs.They’vecrackedthetextingcode,they’lltellyou.They’vefiguredou how to create the emotions they want in women... desire, laughter, intrigue Being really, incredibly witty and interesting over text is the way to get girl attractedtoyou.

TheFourthKindofTexter There’s good news for our heroes Clueless Boring Questions Guy™, Endles ConversationsGuy™,andReally,IncrediblyWittyand InterestingGuy™.The goodnews isthere’safourth texterwith astyle theyhaven’ttriedout,though up,orlookedintoyet. And he doesn’tneed clueless boring questions. He doesn’t require endles conversations.Heck,hedoesn’tevenneedtobeallthatwittyorinteresting.Al you’vegot to do touse his style isbe able to sendsimple text messages... and tellthegirlyouwantadatewithherBEFOREyougetherphonenumber.
If we had to give this kind of texter a name, I think it’d be Just Gets I Guy™(JGIG).Hisstyleisallaboutkeepingthingssimpleandto-the-point.The truthis,less“natural”media(likeemailandtextmessaging)arelesssatisfying forpeopletodealwith(Kock,2004).Youwanttospendaslittletimewithherin lessnaturalmediaaspossible–andasmuchtimeaspossiblewithherinperson. I adopted the JGIG style only after I reached a point where I didn’t hav time to engage in long text conversations. I didn’t have time to think up incredibly witty, interesting things to say. And at that point, even when I did havethetime,Ididn’tcaretodoallthatworkanymore. WhatIfoundwas,thisnewstylewasfarmoreeffective.
