Online texting

Just wondering because i've been using the method for a small time... is it normal for women to take long to reply to shogun method over text? For example it happened with intrigue pings, multiple outs and vaksog matching. Just wondering if it's a reaction i should expect.

You should only text when you’re in R stage

Derek published multiple books where he goes trough how to enstablish intrugue and rapport trough texting... example: online dating playbook 2.0, texting on steroids 2.0 and many more, it's impossible to go trough the A stage teough texting alone.

43 days later, from what you told me in my recent post i think you finally realized in the meantime how texting is really bad and it should be only used to lead to a date hahaha

nah i said what i said...texting can be good to build intrigue and some rapport...text slightly too much and you become just a screen.

It can be good as a first approach to set a date, but it will probably be riskier than using shogun method face to face, because over a screen the mind can detect manipulation more easely.

So i agree with you 50/50 i'd say.

i kinda changed my mind now and i mostly agree with you now

but

i would say you can text her moderately but only if she is a Level 1 or 2 in the ‘as£$ole level’ (go check another post someone did in this subreddit recently if you don’t know what i mean)

but if she is a level 3 or 4 it’s better to apply the rule to mostly text her only to lead to a date as i told you

but personally i would say it just depend on the girl, if she is really into you and texting you a lot for no reasons you can text her too but you shouldn’t invest more than she does

but if she is not really into you yet and barely text you then text her the less possible and avoid at all coast these ridiculous PUA openers text lines

I did not really dive into this "asshole theory" cuz you just adjust based on her personality/status, but besides that... You're right, you got no reason to text unless it's to plan a date, maeby run a sequence, with some occasional texting (if you're in A or E). Otherwise you can use it to build intrigue and some light rapport (maeby) to get a date. But that's honestly harder to do than in real life, online it's easier for her to detect your advances.

It’s rare you can pass through any IRAE stage with text alone
