32 / fall 2017 / splashmag.us

#1: Callback Humor Are you
ready to go
There’s a reason most women list a
sense of humor as the top quality from ‘Mr.
they want in a man. Nice Guy’ to
Laughing releases a bunch of feel- Mr. Holy Sh*

feelings of attraction and comfort click here
for a guy. So if you can tickle our
funny bone with your first text… splashmag.us / fall 2017 / 33
there’s a good chance we’ll let you
tickle us in other places later on.
And the best way to do this is by
what’s known as callback humor.
You’ll see standup comedians use this
a lot. They’ll make a joke about
something and then reference it
again later in their set for even
bigger laughs.
The way you can use this in your texts
is to reference something you shared
a laugh over when you first met.
Maybe you were both joking about
how clumsy she is. You might text
something like, “Was fun meeting you
the other night, hope you’ve managed
to keep yourself out of the
emergency room since then”

#2 Nicknames

Ever since we were little girls and
our fathers gave us nicknames, this
has a very powerful effect on us.
When a man gives us a unique nickname
it makes us feel special… like he sees
something in us that he doesn’t in
other women.
That means you want to avoid
anything cliché here: baby, honey,
sweetie etc. Not only are these
generic, they’re also too intimate for
someone you barely know yet.
Instead, focus on nicknames that are
fun and playful… as well as something
specifically related to her.
One way you can do this is pinpoint
something about her than stands out
to you and add a title at the start.
For example, let’s say you’re in New
York and meet a girl with a strong
Kansas accent. You could simply add
‘Miss’ at the start and call her ‘Miss
Kansas’.

Kansas’. example: “Hey, hope you enjoyed the

martial arts. But she’s dressed very on and come up with a bunch of ways
classy, and you decide to nickname her you can use these 3 techniques to
‘Princess Black Belt’ or ‘Princess create first texts she can’t ignore.
Ninja’.
It all depends on what you happen to
notice about her, and what you want
to go with. But using a playful
nickname in your first text is an
almost guaranteed way to get her
smiling and remembering why she likes
you.

#3 Curiosity

Want to know the most powerful text
message you can send to make a woman
insanely attracted to you?
I’ll tell you tomorrow
Ok, I’m kidding… but it DOES
demonstrate the power that
curiosity has over us.
If you tempt someone with a piece of
information that sounds enticing,
they’ll have this nagging feeling to
hear what it is you have to say.
The key here is that the implied
promise of what you’ll reveal is
interesting or exciting in some way.
For example, a text message like: “Hey,
guess what I just had to eat?” doesn’t
really get the curiosity juices
flowing.
But something like: “OMG you’ll never
believe what just happened to me!”
makes you wonder. Did you win the
lottery? Get arrested? Start a
Twitter war with the President?
Only the most jaded people are likely
to resist replying to a text like that.
Now I’m obviously not suggesting you
lie or make anything up to justify
sending curiosity-provoking texts.
But think about interesting stuff
that you see or experience each day
and you should have a wealth of ideas
to choose from.
