3 Years Learning Manwhore's Text Game: A full-on exploration of what it means to successfully communicate with women
My text-game, is pretty fucking good. I've worked on it since the beginning of this site, and I know Manwhore has mentioned a couple times that I was one of the original people who really "picked up" on what he was doing, and made an effort to really learn this shit. I was also lucky to stumble upon it at a time when Manwhore was really able to give me some serious one-on-one style training with this stuff. I'd say my text-game, at this point, is leagues better than a lot of what's already been written. That is to say, I've worked on it a lot, and def. see the results.
It's paid dividends. One thing you notice in this game is that "real" progress is made in terms of months and years. You'll notice some spikes in progress on a "monthly" level, every now and then, but the real shit is when you look back to where you were 2 years ago, and it's just like, holy shit, I am so much closer to being//doing what I was born to be, on a daily basis, than I ever was before.
Manwhore's text-game has actually impacted me as a person, in a way that one wouldn't typically expect something like "text-game" to effect someone. You see, since I first got into the scene, I was making posts about authenticity, and it's always been my focus. Becoming the best man I can become, and a result being naturally attractive to women, has always been my goal (That's the first thing I sent Manwhore when he asked what I watned out of trianing. This isn't about the girls. This is about me, and being/./living the life I'm supposed to be living...). I honestly think that, despite the fact that I sometimes clash with Manwhore, and we have to hash shit out sometimes, at the end of the day, since my first post in the game, my deep-level mindset has always been right on target with where Manwhore is at. It's why I've been around here so long.
Anyway, when learning Manwhore's text-game, I started out just seeing it as a tactic. I'd ask for individual lines from Manwhore, without really thinking about it. Slowly, I looked to become more independent and started posting full conversations, not necessarily because I thoughtt hey were perfect, but because I wanted to develop the courage to be independent, and then get feedback that I could learn from for future conversations.
But then, the text-game started to have an interesting effect. I noticed myself start to use some of these lines in person. I started to talk to girls in-person, similar to how I was talking to them over text. I was practicing so much, and noticing how potent it was, that I just naturally developed a "quicker wit".. And I want to point out that it's not just a "Quicker Wit", but a wit that is tuned into the right frequency.
Then I had one final mind-shift: "Final" is probably not the operative word, as "game" is about developing ourselves fully, and it never "ends". But this shift actually occurred over time, and then it finally clicked while reading the samples of Manwhore's text-game manual that he sent me to look over and review
Manwhore's text-game is not just about "Individual Lines". Don't get me wrong, if that is entirely what you're looking for. You will find it in there (more than you can read in one sitting). But if that is your only goal, I would suggest you take another look at what you're trying to get out of all of this, because there's more to be offered.
Manwhore's text-game is about allowing people to do a deep-dive into the material, and actually understand the fundamenatl backdrop of the kind of mind-set that is successful in communicating with women. This isn't just an e-book on texting. It's an exploration of what it means to really communicate with women.
The shift that happened for me was in understanding that any sort of "sarcastic//combative//ego-driven meanness" is what I now like to think of as "Poinson Frame". The shift that happened for me, was understanding that everything coming out of girls' mouths is funny//cute//playful
There's a masculine softness in the way that I interact with women now that didn't exist before. "Masculine Softness", in the sense of tackling a girl to the ground, but ensuring that it all happens in a domminanet fashion, and where I'm making sure the girl doesn't get hurt.
So much of life is freeing ourselves from our subconscious habits:
This is something else that I noticed about Manwhore's text-game. In his e-book, he actually provides an explanation for the mind-set that the different of styles represent. If I had simply been able to read that shit 2 years ago, it wouldn't have taken me 3 years for these mind-sets to develop.
But in practicing my text-game, I started to notice specific instances, specific subjects or categories of texts from women, that created a habitual response in me to be a dick, or want to "retaliate", or take the frame combative. I noticed these reactions, because I was practicing a style of game where none of that needs to exist. Everything is fun. Everything is playful. We're all on the same team, and as Manwhore says in his book, "We're just playing in the sandbox with these girls"
So by practicing text-game, my mindset and some of my subconscious habits//reactions were brought to the surface, and I've started to understand why I react certain ways to certain responses, and uncover the deeper layers that cause these reactions.
You see, in the past, I would react and blow up the conversation. I would unsuccessfully communicate with the girl, and not because I wanted to, but because I was being controlled by habitual response patterns. My emotions were dictating how I responded. Because of my life-story, I was projecting artifical and distorted meaning onto texts that were actually probably meant to be "cute". Like girls would be trying to flirt with me, and I'd be coming at them with texts that, essentially amounted to, "Fuck you bitch"
Because of the work I've put into learning Manwhore's text-game, I now can see that girls are usually just "Tryna be cute". Anything//Everything can be made playful. Everything can be turned into a fun adventure that you and the girl are having together. The girl doesn't get any of what's going on. She's operating on an unconscious level, so it's our responsibility to navigate the conversation to a safe-place for both of us to play together. But if you create a hostile communication environment, you're giving the girl no choice but to respond in kind.
Also: This isn't the only way to Text:
This playful//silly way of texting is really just the style of texting that I've adopted because it matches up most closely with how I am in person with everyone I communicate with. There's other styles of texting that Manwhore goes over, and for someone who those styles click with more, I can only imagine you'll have a similar progression. I also will mix//match different stylesdepending on what makes sense.
The key take-away I've gotten from my experience learning and adapting Manwhore's style of texting, to my own life:
This is about more than just "texting". It's about creating an understanding of what it means to successfull communicate with women, and abolishing our predictive, subconscious, habitual reactions from our repitoir and replacing them with constructive forms of communication that are a more accurate reflection of reality.

Great read bro, I understand how this could hold true on a subconscious level...that being said I can't wait for my book to come in!
Potted has read I believe 4 of the chapters now ;)
if you would of have got more reference experiences in those 90 day challenges you did 2 years ago, you would of realize this faster.

BreastCancer this is well beyond a level you're aware of and he's well beyond your reproach. It's little 'tard snipes like this that keep dudes even such as myself from sharing. You're a monkey
LOL
This has nothing to do with that. I've had a few massive-action periods of my life, in terms of game, and they are cool. But what's more important is just going out consistently a couple times a week for a very long time.
What I'm referring to in this post, is a level of sophistication in Manwhore's text-game that supplements the reference eperiences you get while going out.
You'll actually notice that when you go out everyday for a period of time, you build up momentum more than anything- which is different than the fudnamental, deep-level changes that I'm talking about with learning Manwhore's text-game.
Awesome write up.
So the point of me writing this was obviously to just explain my own experience with Manwhore's textgame- but the inspiration came because Manwhore recently sent me over a couple sample chapters to review.
What I read was mind-blowing. Seriously.
And that's coming from a guy whose specifically made a point of studying Manwhore's textgame for a couple years.
He's going into a lot of detail here. I literally can't compare it to anything that exists right now, becuase it just isn't out there. Nobody in the game right now understands text-game. It's an entire dynamic. It's an entire way of communicating, and it's more than just a "Meet-up Tool"
I think what shocked me the most was the amount of examples, and just the level of detail that everything was being broken down into.
I've essentially just never seen anything like it before, and frankly it blew my mind. I texted Manwhore and told him as much as soon as I was done reading.

no wonder your forum has the same 10 people talking to you. you always have to diss posts you dont agree with.
Dude. There was nothing to disagree with.
you were just being a dick and he called you out.
Yeah and plus you're wrong there's at least 11
wait count me in for number 12
Thanks for sharing man. I've noticed the same thing since reading MWs stuff. I realized the contrast between how he perceives/responds and how I was perceiving/responding. His way was much more loving/playful and I started to realize in contrast that I would be interpreting it like it was her being against me.
Unreal, I agree. Lately I been making that connection between texts and verbal communication in person as well. It's not about text game specifically anymore, it's about actually comunicating with women in general.
There are some major changes that are about to happen and this ebook is really going to help solidfy those changes. I can feel it.. *tingles in pants*
no wonder your forum has the same 10 people talking to you. you always have to diss posts you dont agree with.
Wtf who is this
Potted your early posts about authenticity and work with manwhore was incredibly inspiring to me. And yes way deeper than learning how to get a girl to come over or anything superficial. Amazing post, can't wait to peep the rest of the ebook
Great post, thanks man.

Do less.

This is exactly what I feel has happened to with my game. Awesome post. I think having read this when I first got into the forum also helped me see and connect to this perspective much faster because it gave me a specific context to look from. Thanks for sharing dude.
P.S. I just saw I had already replied on this thread. Worth it though, good stuff on here.
Wait, the book came out?
Cracking read that, my teasing in all forms too easily wanders into sarcastic/combative/ego-driven meanness when I don't mean it to. It'd be useful just to write those three attributes down and check each text you send doesn't fall into any of those categories before sending.
