Do Girls Flake Because Your Value Is Too Low?

By

Here’s an interesting insight I received via email about the cause of flaking…

Girls flake because not enough value was built. As a result she at least thinks she’s good enough for you (in the worst case she thinks she’s the best you can get). So even if she cancels a few times, she’s sure you’d be chasing her – so this is not a “cancellation” to her, just “postponement”. Do you think an average Western chick would flake on Elvis? I’m pretty sure that even if she had some real family emergency, she’d still show up for him.

The problem we’re facing here is that it is damn hard to build sustained value for a Western chick due to the hordes of guys constantly throwing themselves on them. You may be the most articulated and expressive dude on the Earth, but she’ll talk to a dozen more before she sees you again, and will forget everything you said.

So far I figured out two key things here:

1. For a Western chick to be sure she’d call you back you need to build MORE attraction/value than you need to have a one night stand with her. So this only makes sense for the chicks you’d really want to meet as a person, not just as a wet hole. Sadly this excludes roughly 70% of the Western female population. This is why I’m not getting phone numbers in the US. Sure you combat it by playing the numbers game, but this is too much work for the below average results.

2. She must be sure that if she flakes, you won’t ever call her again. I have stories about chicks who got mad on me since I invited her out with me once, she canceled, and I never called her again after that. It also serves as an indicator – after the story is told, if she tries to justify the chick in any way, she’ll flake too.

In Always Have A Plan B you wrote, ”This means you should always have a backup plan so that when a girl

cancels, you’ll have an alternative that is as superior as going
out with her.”

This is why I don’t really have dates anymore. I’m going out to karaoke, to hang out with a friend, to ride a cart or to a rock concert. And I just invite her to join me there. If she skips, no big deal, I go there anyway, probably with someone else. Your aim is to please _yourself_, not her. Do what YOU like to do, and find the chicks who’d enjoy doing the same. There are chicks who’d love to spend the evening coming to your place to play Xbox, you just won’t meet them in a club.

So the action should be – plan an activity you’d like to do, THEN call her. This way you’re not tied up in any meaningful way by her.

Flaking is unfortunately an epidemic in America, and in a few years it will get so bad that you’ll come to see Colombian girls—who are famous for their flaking—as reliable and dependable. The best solution right now is simply to hope she flakes.

    Flaking is a cultural problem. It’s because the Anglo-saxon way of life has no soul or connection to nature. People treat humans like “commodities.” Move to a different culture and this problem will vanish, except Columbia LOL!

    Good point, but I think you have to make the connection between the end of courtship and flaking. When girls complain that guys no longer take women out on dates and instead favor meet ups, it is important that we firmly convey how much flaking has to do with guys not wanting to take women out on traditional dates anymore.

  • Giovonny

    Of course!

    I will be doing alot of linking to this article.

    Guys always ask how to stop getting flaked on? I say improve your game. They get mad at me.

      Also, don’t forget the importance of proper text game (or phone game) in between meeting the girl and getting her out on a date.

      Bad text game can spoil the impression she had of you, and make her resist another meet-up or fully flake! Make sure to keep it sweet and funny (check out the Ultimate Text Guide or Magnetic Messaging for good example texts).

        Text game is a joke.

      • Jeremy

        text game is a joke and so is phone game, the only phone game is to call and ask her out, anything, else is cowardly and bullshit.

    You tweeted to my post here a while back Roosh on the Manosphere’s best reasons for flaking and technology’s effects on women. Sadly I can only see it getting worse:

    The bottom line is now with today’s social media, smart phones etc — in fact Roosh did an excellent article on rooshv.com entitled something along the lines of “Smart phone take away the ability of women to love men” or something. But it’s true. Every fucking minute, every fucking angle, a scag is getting a text or a msg or in or whatever from a new penis. And unless you are among the rich anf famous you do not stand much of a chance on her radar for very long.

  • Don

    So true. I met this HB7, kind of traditional chick, she was from out of town. I opened her, ran some game, and was astounded by how well she was receiving it. I #close, and soon after set up a date some day after. She flakes, and i never contact her again. 2-3 weeks later, she hits me up with a message, and this is where i royally fucked up: 2 texts later I invite her out again. Soon after she stopped responding the my texts, and i’m pretty certain this thing is dead forever.

    Lesson: If she flakes, you shouldn’t contact her again. Do that, and there is a very high chance that she’s gonna try to restart the intraction. Whatever you do, don’t jump the wagon and ask her out again, set yourself as a challenge, try giving her shit for flaking you.

      One of the biggest fuck-ups for men with text game/phone game is going immediately for the logistics of the meet-up (date/time/place to meet).

      You gotta re-build the connection that you made with her in-person. After you’ve re-connected emotionally, then you can ease into logistics.

      And if the girl did a full flake, you definitely need to force her to jump a couple hurdles before you’ll agree to meet again. Check out the experts’ text guides for good examples.

    Maybe she wasn’t interested and just gave you her number to get rid of you.

      9 out of 10 times that it. Just not interested — move on.

    Flaking is part of their nature – just deal. It’s a Beta man who expects logic, reliability and unyielding loyalty (male traits) from a woman and becomes disenfranchised when these are lacking. It’s misplaced pedestalization.

    You do not expect these values in children – and yet we can adore them.

    You do not expect these values from certain pets – and yet we can adore them

    You do expect these values from drunks or addicts and yet we can remain unaffected by them.

    Women did not innately posses these values in generations past. There were simply stronger religious, family, legal and societal constraints that kept them at bay, albeit imperfectly. Society has changed, bringing with it different rewards and challenges. A successful man can prosper in either setting. A loser of the game longs for advantageous rules of old (female behavior constraints) while hoping to reap present day rewards (easy poonany) – often achieving neither.

    • Mebus

      I wouldn’t go as far as to call someone who expects reason, reliability and loyalty from a woman ‘beta’. It’s more like a starters mistake.

      Moreover, I must disagree with the notion that somebody who longs for the old game, i.e. with behavioral constraints for women, is a loser. There HAS to be some form of restraint in order for a civilization to thrive. This is discussed in depth in a plethora of articles on the manosphere.

      A man may prosper in multiple settings, but the odds of that happening are quite low in a full-scale matriarchy.

      • http://slosurfa@gmail.com Sundance

        Yeah Beta is not quite right – I’ll go with starters mistake. Either way its a false presumption that makes a mans happiness contingent upon a dependably unreliable person.

        “I must disagree with the notion that somebody who longs for the old game, i.e. with behavioral constraints for women, is a loser. ”

        Wasn’t saying “someone” is a loser for longing for that. Instead i contend they’d end up a “loser of the game” – which i stand by. A man can long all he wants. Wishing a reality that has long passed will at best end up in futility, at worst tragedy.

    I classify most flakes into two categories

    1. She doesn’t think your value is high enough
    2. You didn’t build enough comfort

    Don’t neglect the second reason. A lot of guys will rush through things and get the number, but won’t put in the effort to make the girl comfortable going out with him.

  • tyler

    Wtf? Girls flake because dates are awkward and they don’t want to step outside their comfort zone.

    Value Is simply one piece of the puzzle. Why else would girls show up with no intention whatsoever of fucking you?

    well personal I have learned to treat them like shit (at a respectable level) and give no insight to my personal intentions.It’s a game played of superiority, if she thinks, she is better then you then good luck trying to play that game, but if you come off and act superior (a real fucking man) then you have a edge to play that game. Although this may mean shit, cus i live in a soulless fucking town called Las Vegas (to many shallow Californians are here). Point is be Authoritative with a hint of charm and a fake stack of cash (or in other terms pretend you have more money then you actually have.)
