Quote from Cygnus Atratus:
At that point you lose the battle, nothing you can say afterwards to correct it.
Quote from Thunderdog:
Fair enough. I'm not much of a sportsman of the above variety. But I would think that for her to care that you're ignoring her, she first has to know and care that you're alive. And once she knows and cares that you're alive, I would think there are better ways to proceed. If she cares that you're ignoring her, then isn't she already interested? And if you're going to be doing any feigning once mutual interest is established, shouldn't it be about the level of your availability to her rather than the level of your interest? I'm afraid I'm woefully unsophisticated.
Quote from Rearden Metal:
My understanding is that <i>throwing a neg</i> isn't about ignoring her at all, but rather treating her like a bratty little sister instead of a hot chick: Backhanded compliments and mild insults, briefly walking away with your back turned, picking your teeth/blowing your nose to demonstrate lack of concern towards how she perceives you... stuff like that.

Quote from karol88:
let me share actual example from 1 week ago...so I brought this guy, a young friend of mine (26)...in the last year or so he started to take a very good care of himself: exercise, nice clothes, very metrosexual, great attitude, confident, smart and hilarious, can make anyone laugh (however I doubt he is making any money, way too young...he does IT or something, so nothing major)
anyway, ALL my girlfriends were blown away by him....to the point that one of them (a model, who literally looks like she poses for playboy, no kidding) was offering to go out with him (+other things)...I've never seen anything like this before...sure, this guy looks good (David Beckham meets Samantha's (sex and the city) younger boyfriend), but besides the looks he must have done something right...I mean the girls were going crazy! and are still asking me for his contact....
well, looks like money alone won't get you there
however I would like to add that all the girls present were from 21 to about 30 years old, and I know that the younger don't care as much about the money...not YET...
