EPTNote: i used to be a pioneer of this shit, i used a lot of the online services that everyone know and love today before there was any hype at all and at that point it was even kind of cool to have voice convos, real-time whiteboards, friends lists you could access from anywhere and shit, chatting and caming with girls was awesome 'cause at that time there existed a requirement of at least some basic computer literacy in order to use this stuff. But: during this period i was like 14-16, i was horny, young and stupid and communities were like the "new thing" and everyone checked out "rate me" picture sites and sites with party pictures 'cause it was new and fresh. Facetube is an excellent business model to profit from the guy i used to be and i would have used it no doubt, along with all my friends. Luckily though, i'm no longer him. Fuck him, fuck him for everything he did except for the stuff that made me turn out so f'ing awesome... Hey wait - allright, i don't mind it too much, but leave it to the kids yeah?

He's saying the current generation of young people are seeking less and less direct forms of communication, as layers of protection against sincerity. You can pretend to be whoever you want when all you do is facebook and text someone. It gets harder to maintain the lie once you start actually calling people and communicating more directly. So someone who communicates almost exclusively through facebook is probably not very sincere, and you have almost no bearing as to who they really are. | ||

i posted a very similar thread on "theattractionforums" and the results are basically the same. i would have expected that if facebook is somewhat commonly used nowadays as a substitute for exchanging numbers (or even an improvement over it because you get many more infos about the person at once) then the people on this PUA forum would probably tell me / do it. isn't the case it seems. it's also ~ 85% who still go for the number. one of the replies said that if someone uses FB rather than numbers he has a specialized system that doesn't follow normal game and they are set up to make it work another one emphasized that They are two different things for different strategies. When I meet girls when I travel to different cities abroad, then a lot of the time there's no point me taking the number if I'm leaving the next day, unless I think I can get her out that night. I'll take the facebook and keep her on a slow burn, pinging her occasionally, in case I return to that country and want to hook up. a reply in favor was: I think overall it's better to get her facebook, especially if you have a good setup on facebook with nice pictures, friends etc. So if you have a great FB page then I'd say get her FB, if you don't then stick with the phone number the general consensus seemed to be similar to here and is kind of summed up in this reply: But you should always start much higher up the 'funnel' - go for the date first and try to sort out the logistics there and then, if not then go for the number, if not the number then go for the facebook. I would never shoot for a facebook first as you should always be trying to move things towards the bedroom asap. The number/facebook is only a tool to get her on a date with you, not the end game as a lot of guys seem to treat it. so it seems to depend on your "technique"/the setting but generally the phone number still seems to be held of higher value than a facebook contact. who knows how it'll be in 5 years or so  | ||

This also is much less confrontation to the chick, at least it seems so to me, so they often can dodge much easier without it being an issue, or even get to know you a bit without it being the pressure of making conversation. | ||

Still, getting a facebook OR a number doesn't mean much, but it's much easier to get a Day 2 or get laid through calling. It's even easier to get day 2 or laid by telling them to call you. If they don't it wasn't going to happen anyways. | ||

You just send them a message inviting them to do something, or just real time chat. Text messaging works when you get the number... | ||
