This is so not fair. If it's true, how can anyone treat another this way?

Sad!!!

Welcome to the behaviours of the average L'Oreal modern day woman that men are suppose to endure to be privileged enough to be tagged "Real Men".

The same selfish, wick and inconsiderate woman in that link would be the same one complaining when a man dumps her arsse in marriage and looks for his happiness elsewhere. Then you will hear her moaning "did the 10 year marriage men nothing to him".

ekt_bear: Update:

So she responded. She is busy with finals related stuff this week, but has agreed to hook things up sometime after that.

So....suck it, haters grin

ekt_bear wins again cheesy

Except she is the one suggesting to meet up, this seems a bit rushed by UK standard considering she was not willing to give her phone number.

In the UK, she would just think you are desperate and [as a black girl] is just likely to exploit it.

But, Hey, that is the UK. I will not tell someone in the US how to play the game there when the rules of the game might be different.
Re: "I Can't Give You My Phone Number, We Can Be Facebook Friends Though" by ektbear: 1:08pm On Nov 27, 2012
Bros, you may be right. What I did probably doesn't conform to US standards that much either...there are a bunch of intricate rules about how you are supposed to wait X days to call a girl, blahblahblah.

But I've never cared to follow any of those rules. If I'm feeling a girl, I ask for her # and I'll call the next day. I think it is better to go with your instincts rather than conform to different standards that society arbitrarily is making up for you.

My instinct at that time was that the girl was feeling me (despite not wanting to give out her #), but was being inhibited in some way by external factors.

Plus if a girl is a stickler for society's rules, we wouldn't get along anyway...so better for me to find that out right away.

Yeah, it is not the greatest setting to be frank. Luckily I have a good sense of humour and can be innovative when approaching girls, so sometimes I can approach in such an environment.

It can even be fun because you can make it difficult for the girls to know which of them you are interested in by focusing your chat on all of them. This might even make them much friendlier as they try to figure out who you want and work hard to make it themselves just for the ego boost, even if they are not interested. Well that will only occur if their is no huge dichotomy in their appeal. Like when you see a gorgeous girl with her butters friend(s) 4 times her size. Then it is obvious who you are going for and the cockblockers are likely to do their thing:

https://www.nairaland.com/942597/why-women-own-worst-enemies/5#10897644

Even if they are all fine, that depends on the group of girls though. If they are Naija, I suggest you waka pass, as they might see it as a great opportunity to humiliate you and feel like a Super Star amongst their friends.

As per the friend wearing hijab, that does not mean nada to me. grin I have even approached a girl that was wearing hijab before. It is not the norm, but fck, she was so freaking curvy wearing hijab, waist coat on a top white shirt and colourful gypsy skirt that assenuated her hips, to the point that I could not resist. Hips are a universal, non-religious language. grin

She happened to be a Naija girl from a popular Lagos family with double barrel surnames. She gave me her number and we went out on a date. She was not sure but thought since I had the confidence to approach her while wearing hijab, I must be a Allahu Akbar guy. She asked during the date, I never answered. Turned it to a joke and game without lying. It was when she used the word 'haram' and I did not know the meaning, when she realised I was not muslim and started laughing. grin

I can't fault your approach. One of my friends is using the same approach at the moment. He got bored of the rules and is doing things as he pleases.

If he feels like calling a girl at night after getting her number in the afternoon, he just does it.

But to practice that approach, one must be able to convey simultaneously that he is:
- very confident.
- not desperate.
- and he is willing to pack it up if she misforms.

If a girl messes up because he did not follow the rules, he just scraps that side quickly.

The trick to that ability is "piling them high". He gets as many girls number as possible, so he does not fret over one fcking up.

ekt_bear: Also, I don't necessarily want some girl i just met in my facebook life. Isn't a phone # easier for everyone involved?

It was so sketchy. I asked her, "oh do you have a man or something, is that why you don't want to give me your #?"

And she said she doesn't have a man.

All I know is that women are crazy
na by force for her to give u her number? sad

Yeah! grin

She did what she did because she is an inconsiderate and rude person, who has not invested anything in the interaction. So since she has no investment to lose, she did not care how the built-up interaction collapses. That is the average woman for you.

They think of themselves first and if they have nothing to lose, then it is fine for the other person to lose and they lackadaisically expect no retribution. While if they invest and someone does the same, they expect to be allowed to give retribution and also have a pity & character assassination party with guests of other women and special guest of eager-to-please "real men".

All these guys have to start learning how to protect your interest when interacting with women.

ekt_bear: My brother, the story ends here, unfortunately cheesy

It would be ungentlemanly of me to share any further details of whatever happens on NL.

Besides, the purpose of this thread has been served: the lesson learned is not to assume that a girl wanting to be facebook friends = rejection. I should have known better than to listen to the detractors that abound on NL grin

Oh I forgot to say, she told me the reason she didn't give me a # is due to some creepy, overly aggressive stalkish guys she met in the past.

Oh that? Seen it. Long story abeg.

Eketbear and the story continues..........

Guy: can I have your number please?
Girl: hmm...have my facebook account instead
Guy: (accepting his fate like his life depend on it) ok thanks.

Guy: message sent to Girl's facebook inbox.
Message content: I want us to be just friends, but you refuse to give me your number the other day. Why babes, or am I not handsome enough? Am a good guy you know, I promise not to hurt your feelings, I cross my heart.

Girl...replying message.....
Message content: I would have given you my number but, I am scared of stalkers because I have had a bad experience in the past. And besides, I've got some school work, hence I've been very busy.

STORY.........

Number 2 rejection. Its just a phone number, and not a marriage signature( Gosh, lol) There's no need for the long story.If she was really into you, she wouldn't go on about been stalked in the past. She would have brought that up maybe in the future when you both are deep into the relationship. End of story!
