9:30 - Over 23 Billion texts sent every day

11:00 - Texting is a NEW form of communication in this generation

13:00 - The 7-38-55 rule / "Conversation" is not "Communication"

15:00 - Because of the 55% rule, communicating with people in other languages is possible

16:30 - WASM Law of Texting: "What CAN be misinterpreted, WILL be misinterpreted."

17:00 - Bill Burr's hilarious "Bad Court Reading"

19:00 - Q: How often are you communicating? A: Always

21:30 - Texting removes the 38% tone of voice AND the 55% body language

24:00 - Rule #1 of Texting Girls: "Don't always be available"

26:30 - A woman will read huge amounts of data into HOW you communicate, regardless of what you're actually SAYING

28:30 - If your girl is your #1 priority in your life, she will quickly lose attraction to you

31:00 - Your attention is currency for a woman - tremendously valuable

32:00 - Dopamine is triggered when you get a text message

34:00 - When something is always available, we quickly lose interest

35:00 - Sometimes NOT responding to her text is the best choice

37:00 - If you haven't met a girl in real life yet, don't try to use texting to seduce her - do it in person

37:30 - Rule #2 of Texting Girls: "NEVER Argue Over Text"

41:00 - Texting girls when you first meet them: Text ONLY to coordinate logistics

45:30 - Texting girls after you're in a relationship: Text MOSTLY to coordinate logistics, plus occasional "thinking of you" texts

47:00 - Emojis add a SMALL amount of emotional info to your texts, but not much. Best to use them sparingly for fun and entertainment.

49:00 - When you're in person, DON'T TEXT OTHER PEOPLE. If you absolutely have to send texts, apologize, send the text very quickly, then return 100% attention to the person you're with.

50:00 - Don't Double-Text - After sending your first text, wait until they respond. Don't send several more texts. Desperate, needy, doesn't work.

52:00 - Use the 3/2 Golden Ratio of texting - She sends three texts, you send two

Stay Superior!
