Podcast 96. The subject is the top three mistakes men make once the number is in the phone. Texting is where a good approach goes to die, and it usually dies for boring reasons. You write too much. You write to entertain yourself. You hide the fact that you want the date.

I also get into the Hustler Club favorite text at the end, the one I actually want you to send when you are asking for the next meet. The episode is not a museum of clever messages. It is a short list of the habits that keep her replying and never meeting you.

Direct display matters here. Darwinism, in the plain sense I mean on the episode, is that she is reading what you are. A paragraph that performs personality is still a paragraph. She can feel the man who is texting because he is afraid to say "let's meet." The mistakes cluster around that fear. Over-explaining. Double texting a joke because the first one got silence. Turning the thread into a pen-pal hobby.

The cover is a crossed-out message on purpose. Most of what men send should not have been sent. Cut it. Leave the text that moves the meeting forward.

If your approaches are fine and your dates are not happening, look at the phone before you look for a new opener. Three mistakes cover most of the damage. The episode names them and then gives you the text I want used instead of the performance.
