I'm confused. Why is insulting someone going to persuade them to have sex with you?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

That's a very deep rabbit hole that I'm not sure I want to point anyone toward.

It's called Negging, and the idea is that by insulting women you have established a positive rapport with you can cause them to become emotionally dependent upon your approval, and your approval should take the form of having sex with you.

It is exactly as bad as it sounds.

Feeling tired, it was a bit of a long day, but in spite of that I don't think I have that much of an excuse to feel this tired.

Guy I met on the bus asked me for my phone number :3  Very first time that's happened to me~
This... kind of surprises me. Have you seriously never had someone ask for your number before? You seem like you'd be beating them off with a stick.

So...pretty bad? It doesn't make a lick of sense on paper/computer screen.

It's a tactic that pick-up artists assholes use. You say something negative, about something, like a physical trait, someone might be self-conscious about. This supposedly lowers their confidence so much that they mistake you for a viable dating candidate. I would guess you are supposed to be less blunt than this.

The PUAs believe in the concept of a sine wave-esq emotional flow that can be changed and manipulated by other people in order to make them susceptible to suggestion. Negging is one of several strategies that they employ, with the idea being that you send someone far into the negative in such a way that they'll wish to do things for you in order to be returned to the positive. "Things" pretty much always take the form of sex.

If you are wondering how I know all of this, get your head out of the gutter, I learned about it through my now ex-roommate trying to sell me on the concept. Repeatedly. Despite the fact that it never actually worked out for him.

Though my ex-roommate actually didn't believe Negging was any good, he believed in what he called Cresting, which involves alternating positive and negative comments over several hours, and then trying to convince the subject to have sex with you at the height of the positive comments. No less stupid, really.

...I just figured out what PUA stood for. I thought everyone was just making a noise of disgust.

I need some sleep, my brain isn't working :/
