Before I get into this, I'm going to disclose the fact that I believe that the neg is not optimal in the first few moments of opening and think that there is more risk than reward if you are actively looking to use them. Passively, they are great for banter but at that point it shouldn't be considered a neg because a rapport has been established. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, my question is what did those negs do outside of possibly making the woman self conscious? Attention grabbers? Elevating your value by lowing her value?

Don't get me wrong, outside of the "nose wiggle" this is one of the better uses of negs that I've seen but since the interactions are edited there is no way to know what was really done to get the phone number and lower the the chance for a flake to happen.

Hey Jack,

I am reallyyy not use to using negs at all in any of my conversations so I am practicing them now to incorporate in my social "vocabulary". I wanted to use them for attention grabbers, not really too much into elevating my own value and lowering hers cause since I didnt build rapport yet she probably wouldnt have seen me as higher value.
