Chapter 48 Facebook Seduction Techniques
Kevin's friend request was swiftly accepted this time.
"Why did it work like that? I just can't figure it out," Kevin was puzzled. But the priority was on securing a hookup; after all, there was a million-dollar prize at stake!
Kevin: [ Hi, what is up.]
ID: [ lovely woman: Hmm.]
Kevin was befuddled by the reply. ‘What does she mean? Is this the new normal for women on Facebook? She is so aloof.’
Kevin: [ Where are you from? We seem to be close by!]
ID: Lovely woman: [ And then?]
Kevin was stumped again! He muttered, “Damn it, sophisticated women are truly a challenge to converse with.”
Kevin: [I'd like to get to know you.]
ID: lovely woman: [ Really? But I'm not that interested in you.]
He thought, ‘Damn! This conversation is going to become a fruitless one.’
Kevin realized there were problems with his approach; he hadn't caught on to what was appealing to her. Thinking about the reasons a woman might search for people nearby on Facebook, Kevin recalibrated his thoughts and glanced through the woman's timeline.
Her Facebook posts were almost exclusively for the soul stuff and photos showing off her daughter, who seemed to be a little over two years old and quite adorable.
Kevin found no selfies of the woman, just the aforementioned posts that seemed rather naive and intellectually empty encouragement.
From this, it was clear that the woman was lonely and that there was a substantial problem in her marriage.
[Reminder: In your first chat, avoid asking generic questions that might raise alerts and are meaningless. It's recommended to understand the other person's basic situation and hobbies through their bio and timeline posts and approach them on topics they like. Your questions should not bore or alarm them.]
[Do not ask barren questions like "How are you," "What are you doing," "Where are you from," "What do you do," "How old are you," etc. Every woman on Facebook is precious, the target of countless men. Most men would start with these drab questions, which women find repulsive. Moreover, such questions also reveal your intentions, making the woman instinctively cautious and raising the difficulty of your pursuit.]
Having read the system's prompt, Kevin seemed to be enlightened.
Indeed, back when Facebook first emerged, one could chat freely without much concern. During that era, curious young women and girls were everywhere. Casual chats, sharing a photo, and if pleased, arranging a meeting were quite common.
However, as Facebook became ubiquitous, hookups became more challenging, and Kevin was still sticking to his old conversational methods. Naturally, the success rate plummeted, and he couldn't even score a hookup anymore! So that was where the problem lay! It was a matter of being innovative in a competitive field. With a newfound understanding, Kevin decided to start with the topic of her daughter.
Kevin: [The little girl in your posts, is she your daughter? She is lovely! I wish I could have a daughter as adorable as yours.]
The woman: [ Thank you! Are you married? Don't have children?]
The woman took the initiative to ask a question! It was a good start, indicating her interest in him.
Kevin: [I'm married, but we haven't had children. I would love to have a daughter like yours and be a doting dad. I'm envious of you.]
The woman: [Then why don’t you have one?]
[Reminder: The principle of chatting is finding a topic and letting her talk while you listen. It doesn’t matter what she says because your goal is to understand her as a person, not to delve into her life story. Whether her views are right or wrong, you should show 80% agreement and 20% disagreement to make her feel a connection yet perceive you as having a distinct personality.]
Observing the system's prompt, Kevin realized that since he had already begun a conversation, it was time to steer toward her emotions. Obviously, there were marital issues, and her husband had been unfaithful. The woman must have been looking for someone to confide in.
Kevin: [Because our relationship isn't great.]
The woman: [Is your relationship with your wife not good? Why?]
Kevin: [She's very busy and travels a lot, so we're often apart.]
The woman: [I feel a kinship with you! I understand your feelings!]
It worked! Seeing her reply, Kevin immediately knew he had her hooked.
Next, he needed to draw out her emotional experiences and her confessions.
Kevin: [Is it the same with you too? Why do you say that? You and your husband must be quite loving, right?]
The woman: [You are wrong. My relationship with my husband isn't good either, and probably worse than yours. He often travels for work, treats me coldly, and we're apart most of the time.]
Kevin: [Well, that's for livelihood. As long as he's devoted only to you and takes care of home, it shouldn't be too bad.]
The woman: [ If only that were the case! But…]
Seeing her reluctant to continue, Kevin wanted to press on, but he knew he had better wait and allow her to pour her heart.
Sure enough, after a brief pause, she continued.
The woman: [But my husband doesn’t care for home. He's cold to me and even to our daughter, and worst of all, he’s been unfaithful!]
