She probably spent a lot of time on her makeup too. You should've told her she looks great without makeup (if she wasn't wearing any) and she would look great with no makeup.

You stupid ****. Why do you use the damn negs that are in the book? Those are designed for super-high self-esteemed Las Vegas bitches. That's ad one. Ad two if you go out "hoping to score" you obviously lack the confidence to deliver such a line with proper voice tonality and body language. The ******* point of a neg is not to insult the girl. It is designed to make the girl think she's beautiful but you're unaffected. And SMILE for God's sake when you neg. I bet your face was all nervous... P.S.: Mystery Method is getting considered as "outplayed" because of dumb ***** like you.

Given the stigma of PUAs and the guilty-by-association element that it creates for men in general, the club scene is probably now the worst place to meet women. The gym is the new club.

What did you learn...?

No, no, no, OP! When you neg a chick, keep it shallow/physical. You don't have the rapport to talk about any part of her personality: "You know, not many girls could pull off that messy just-out-of-bed look, but it really makes your eyes stand out." "I thought the 'natural' makeup look was just for the beach!" (Going along with that,) "You're in the wrong place. You need more makeup to fit in at the bar." See what I did there? Always start the opener with a specific, observable downward shot, then bring it back up. If you're gonna do it, do it right. If you can't do it right, practice. For the rest of you people saying it doesn't work, it does. The tactics work because they disarm people. You go up to someone saying something they don't expect, or don't usually hear from others, they don't know how to respond and their guard goes down for a minute. It's simple psychology. Granted, this is not a way to find a quality girlfriend, but you really don't go to the bar to do that. Have fun. It's a game. For the record, I'm a girl.

Yay for big words!

I had no idea what negging was, but suddenly this conversation I had with a guy makes sense. He was flirting then said I was skinny in comparison to the girls who lived nearby. I sat there wondering if he realized he just sounded like an a$$h*le. You totally deserve this, but know you've made me a bit wiser.

It shocks me that insulting a girl would leave her feeling insulted. Totally didn't see that coming!
