The Power of Bluntness

[Grape]

I'm totally stealing Banya's flow here, so creds to him for even getting me focused on this topic.

Be blunt to create tension.
Don't give any details, don't give any clear signs through vocal tonality, body language, description, etc.

Just say it in monotone and don't change.

It creates tons of tension.

Example:
Dude: "Hey man, blablablabla."
PUA: "Awesome."

Chick: "PUA! You like my new dress?"
PUA: "Sure."

They'll think "Is something wrong?"

But you gotta release this tension eventually or else you'll just come off as a douche. You don't want that!

Use it, love it, respect it.

It feels like if you say "Sure!" and then move on with something totally different it'll come off pretty douchy. As an amogging/shit test tactic it's great, but I'm not sure how to work it into normal game.

it's called being unreactive. it's borderline blunt, but you can be like "that's cool, nice, awesome" but the key is to be emotionally unaffected to it. banya's concept of not giving a fuck plays in with being unreactive to every situation and not letting anything get to you.

[Grape]

Totally agree. people usually look for a reaction when they do something, so yes. not letting them know your reaction or (being unreactive) was the real point. thanks guys.

when ever someone does this to me, it just pisses me off.

As game goes, if someone asks me a question a lot of times ill just give a playful answer.

ex. Hb: Do you like this? (shows me it)

me: eehhhhhh *wiggles hand* with smile

The "Kinda" Hand thing lol
I do this with a "it's hurting me to tell you this and see that" type look and then I stick my tongue out at them =P
