追女生是一件很好玩的事情,因为它很简单,简单的同时也很难,而且充满无限的可能和不确定性。追女生是一件很简单的事情:因为你和女生在 一起,厉害的高手说什么都是对的,甚至不说什么也是对的,因为在现场,有经验的情场高手的本能会驱使其做正确地事情。那时候,你和女生在一起约会,真的单 单做自己就已经很容易吸引到女人了。
追女生同时是一件很困难的事情:很多人的答案说白了就是泛泛而谈,说了等于没说,或者读起来感觉很给力很爽,读完之后你还是不会,因为p用没有。脱离现场和当事人的具体情况的答案都是在耍流氓。
追 女生充满无限的可能和不确定性:我搞定过很多女人(也被很多女人搞定过),在酒吧里也从很多条件比我好的男人手里抢走过其女伴/女朋友,但还不是有很多女 人搞不定,甚至有一次耻辱的是和人家姑娘互动的很好,人家小姑娘看了一个帅哥,就主动贴上去了,这种事很丢人,但这也是我爱这场游戏的重要原因,只有赢没 有输得游戏不好玩。而且作为一个条件普通的男人,通过自己的努力和天赋在吸引女人方面做的比条件好的男人更加好,是一件很痛快的事情,我常常在酒吧里和刚 见面的姑娘亲热,旁边就会遇到不认识我的男人对我竖大拇指。
这里想跟条件普通的男人说一句:爱这场游戏,虽然你可能会被打击,但值得尝试和探索,因为这场游戏风险虽大(你可能会被女人拒绝/丢脸),但奖品也很丰厚(漂亮的女人和可供选择的伴侣)。
为什么对于有些男性来说追女人很难?
因为没经验,说白了就是缺乏成功经验。
我们在回答任何一个有关情感方面的技巧问题时,都不应脱离实际情况满嘴放炮夸夸其谈,可能你脱离具体的实际说出来让人感觉有道理,但还是那句话,对于很多情感小菜鸟,那没用。
知道和做到是两码事,说出来让人觉得有道理和自己能做到也是两码事。
看看追女生时涉及多少的变量:
1、男人:
A 外形如何?外形是否导致男人面对女人时缺乏自信/自卑?
B 身高如何?身高是否比女人矮?从而引起自己面对女人时的自卑心理?
C 年龄如何?年龄是否比女人太小,让女人觉得不太成熟或者女人因为年龄比男人大而缺乏自信/安全感,面对男人时,内心出现摇摆不定的情况?
D 性格如何?风趣幽默还是沉默寡言?自信满满还是缺乏自信?甚至是否严重到连说话时的发音都有问题,我以前有几个基础很差的学员,连跟女生说话都成问题,这时你跟她讲什么聊天技巧,选择什么样的聊天话题,那完全是不负责任的扯淡。
男人身上的变量可举的例子还有很多,这里只是给大家一个思路。
2、女人:
A 外形如何?
好看,非常好看,还是绝顶好看?
外形上的优势会在一定程度上影响女人的心态,尤其是面对男人时的心态。
同 样的话,跟7分女人讲可能有效,跟9分女人讲,人家会当你是 2 B,比如赞美,赞美一个不太经常会收到赞美的女人,若你表达方式得当,时机把握得好,女人会很受用,若此方式完全不改,照搬照抄到9分女人身上,你便很容 易沦为和其他垂涎她美貌的屌丝同列,你的赞美在女人眼里就是个P,除了显得你廉价之外毫无用处。
B 人生阶段如何?女人的心态如何?
跟一个还没入社会的小姑娘,你带她逛逛校园/公园/植物园/动物园,聊天时幽默一下,再带女生浪漫一下,很容易吸引到人家小姑娘;
若你是一个乳臭未干的臭小子,跟一个入社会很久,懂得利用自身美貌换取资源的28岁女人试试?
她对你一个小屁孩能有多大兴趣?
这里并非指年龄小的男人不能追求到比自己年龄大的成熟且成功的女性,是根据大部分菜鸟的具体情况,这可能会有点难度,但还是可以的,此话题略偏,在此避开不谈。
C 女人的情绪状态如何?
跟女人聊天时女人的情绪状态很重要,若一个男人忽略女人的情绪状态,常常说什么都是错的。
女人的情绪是指引男人与其互动最有力的指标。
很多情场小菜鸟和女人在一起追求所谓的聊天的效果,比如要幽默,要逗得女人开心;要聊得来,不能冷场。
但我想说的是真正会聊天的人知道什么时候该说以及说什么,什么时候闭嘴以及好好倾听女人的心声。
更厉害的人是能够通过语言/行为/态度/策略改变女人的情绪状态,那叫会哄女人。
女人情绪状态不佳,比如工作中受了气,倾听女人,让其发泄不满的情绪比你说很多P话管用;
女人压力大感觉无助,你的关心和对其重视/在乎的态度胜过那些不着调的话。
问 如何与女人聊天以及追女生时该聊什么样的话题的男性都很容易犯这样的错误,在此提醒一下各位男性,和女人聊天时若你想着一个特定的目的或者想使用某个技 巧,你和女人聊天是做不好的,因为聊天讲究节奏感和现场的及时反映,刻意的追求某个目的或者使用某个技巧就会违反你的本能/本性反应,打乱聊天的节奏感。
有多少人学习所谓的与女人的聊天技巧感觉很变扭/不自在的?
同时让和你聊天的女人觉得你不真诚,像个2 B。
和女人聊天可以练习,学习相关技巧和理念,但不要把这些带到现场(或者说现场时不要刻意想这些),不然你会做得更糟糕。
D 是否有男朋友?
虽然我不鼓励男人去追求一个有男朋友的女生,但若你是发自内心的喜欢一个女生,而且想带给对方幸福,又发现女生男朋友靠不住/有外遇,而不是只是想和女生睡一觉就走,那就大胆的去追,把自己喜欢的女生的幸福交到其他男人手里,还不如自己来把握
但有多少菜鸟挖墙脚知道怎么挖?
很少。
面对有男朋友和无男朋友的女生,你与其聊天的话题/语气/态度在和女生最开始接触的时候有很大的区别,即便是吸引到女生之后,你采用的策略以及遇到的困难都会有很大的不同,这也决定了你和女人聊天时说的话有所不同。
女人身上的变量还有很多,上面只是举一些简单的例子而已,意思到了就行。
顺便提一点:
说到女人身上的变量,提醒广大男性同胞,不要说什么女人太内向/安静/害羞/保守/是个处女所以你搞不定,这些都不是你搞不定女生的原因,你搞不定女人只能是因为你太菜了而已。
在我眼里没有太内向/太保守的女生,女生怎么样,取决于她所面对的男人,把精力放到这些无实质意义的因素上纯属浪费时间。
你男性的本能可能会引导你让觉得这些是重要的事,但我想告诉你,以我亲身经历过众多女人的经验以及教了几百个学员追女生的教学经验告诉你,这些不重要。
没有绝对的荡妇也没有绝对的忠贞烈女,女人是什么样子取决于她所面对的男人。
3 你与女人约会的场景/环境
A 物理环境/客观空间:
人多还是人少,有无熟人在场?
是否方便聊天交流?
还是更易于游戏互动?
举个极端的例子:
在酒吧我做过这样的事,跟一刚认识不久的姑娘说:“姑娘我发现你太好了,今晚我要把你睡了”
人姑娘听了开心的笑个不停。
你要是和一姑娘在一咖啡馆里说就显得有点不合时宜了。
B 社交环境
与女生有社交联系的人是否在场?
其是否会影响女人的心理?
若会影响女人的心理,是好的影响还是坏的影响?
举个极端例子:
女生爸妈在场时,你聊天的尺度和开玩笑的尺度我相信你还是会有所收敛的。
4 你与女人感情发展的阶段/你与女人所处的情感状态
这一点很好理解,举几个例子加以说明:
A 跟一女生见过一次面,留了电话/在微信陌陌上聊天聊得不错,但没见过。
打电话给女生:“在干嘛呢?”
女生:“看电视”
我:“最近X战警逆转未来上映了,网上评价很不错,我想去看,想约上你一起”
B 和一个女生约过一次会,约会过程中有过牵手,送其回家时告别时拥抱了一下。
女生来电话,接起,开心的说:“哎,刚想给你打电话你就打来了
我相信女生听了会很开心。
C 和以前一年没见但常跟我打电话说想我的一个姑娘通电话。
我打给她,她接到电话,高兴的说:“咦,大忙人今天怎么想起给我打电话了?”
我温柔地说道:“想你了,所以给你打个电话,想听听你的声音”
女人听了会感觉很柔情。
D 跟老婆,再恶心的话说出口,对方也会觉得你好可爱。
我先躺在床上,老婆在洗澡,于是淫荡的说:“老婆,我JB变得又硬又大了,你怎么还不过来?”
(这个例子有点操蛋,但事实如此,不知是否违反知乎的什么规范啥的?)
类似的变量还有很多,毕竟人是极其复杂的动物,就不再举例了,意思到了就行。
上面吹了那么久,只是想给大家一个思路,和女生约会也好,聊天也罢,要做符合实际情况的事情,不要脱离实际,具体情况具体分析,我不会蠢到教一个极度缺乏自信的男人去背几个幽默段子或者冷笑话去逗女生开心,做不好,很容易成逗B的。
下面开始正式回到此问题:
追一个女孩子时,聊些什么话题比较好?
原则:聊你想聊的,聊女生感兴趣的。
理念:聊天的话题和方式要符合你与女生的感情阶段以及所处的场景/环境。
方式:自然而然的切入/引入双方都感兴趣的聊天话题
技巧:说什么不重要,重要的是怎么说
1、聊你想聊的。
A 不是幽默的人不要装幽默,伪装自己是最不可取的行为,无论是追女生还是学习/工作/生活;
B 不想聊天时不要因为怕冷场或者场面尴尬就硬着头皮上,闭嘴有时候比你没话找话要好得多;
人多的时候,自己不想聊天,就听别人吹牛B,乖乖吃/喝东西,不要因为觉得自己没说话显得不礼貌/不合群,你没有责任和义务讨好其他人/与他们打成一片,我能告诉你在多人吃饭/聊天时候,最引人注目的人是最安静的那个人,然后才是那个说的最多让人最讨人厌的那个人吗?
但请注意,懂得安静和性格内向是两码事,不要混淆。
C 聊自己擅长的/熟悉的/充满激情的话题。
比如
a 冷门知识/有趣的见闻
我能告诉你世界卫生组织旗下有个研究机构叫“ 女性性高潮研究委员会”吗?;
我能告诉你玉皇大帝和王母娘娘是同事而不是夫妻吗?;
我能告诉你在中国大陆上映的电影是不准出现真正意义上的鬼吗?因为这是广电总局规定的;
我能告诉你我很多学员和女生约会时聊到我吗?我的那些退学啦,辞职到丽江旅行啦,教人追女生啦,各种烂事,结果女生听了我的这些破事之后对我好奇得不行。
b 自己擅长的行业/知识面
有个词叫不明觉厉,很好地说明你你擅长的东西即便别人不懂也是可以赢得别人好感/佩服的;
不要告诉我你没有擅长的,没有就去学习去积累,天天待在家做抠脚大汉不读书不出去见世面,当然不懂咯,所以人生是需要积累和沉淀的。
和女生聊天的话题也是需要积累和沉淀的。
c 有趣的经历/故事
拿我举例:
a 退过学:
觉得学校教的东西垃圾就把学校炒了鱿鱼,然后独身一人到了陌生的昆明,第一天晚上到,第二天找到工作,第三天开始上班,两个星期之后升职。。。。。。一年之后被一老外挖走送去泰国
b 辞职旅行,专职艳遇:
辞职做无业游民已经一年,每天睡觉睡到自然醒。
在丽江遇到女生问我干嘛的?
我就说专门辞职来丽江艳遇的,结果人家姑娘听了都不信,反正最后的最后我是把人家小姑娘给艳遇了。
到目前为止我活得还挺开心的。
c 在泰国上语言不通的陌生人的车,和她们一起去吃早餐:
我在泰国,住在一家酒店里,一早起来在海边看大海,然后不远处有几个泰国人对我招手,示意我上车,我也不认识对方,对方又不会说英文,完全没法沟通,反正最后我是跑人家车上坐着,然后他们带我去吃了个早餐,本来人家是要开车去普吉岛的,可惜要我要上班就没去成。
上面的破事只是简单描述而已,你们又不是小姑娘,我才懒得跟你们好好说呢。
生活不是缺少美,而是缺少发现美的眼睛,大家多留意,多经历,你亲身经历过得有趣的故事可以深刻的打动女生以及引起对方的兴趣/对你的好奇。
d 深刻的/附有智慧的理念/观点/生活
附有智慧的观点:太简单,略过不讲。
理想的生活:我常常和女生在一起聊起比如我想开间咖啡馆/书吧,在把这样惬意的生活描绘的精彩点,很容易引起女生的向往/憧憬,若你再运气好点/厉害点,遇上和你有一样生活理想的姑娘,那个相见恨晚啦,心有灵犀啦,超多共同语言啦,这些都会轻易拉近你和女生之间的距离。
