+1 yNeither. How much he messages me is not a factor that can determine attractiveness.
It definitely is is a positive though, unless I’ve told already rejected him due to no attraction to him, like if he’s just not what I want in a partner. If I rejected him for that and he’s still pursuing like that then he’s losing with me really fast, making me see him as annoying.
If I rejected him because the timing is not right and I’m just not ready for a relationship then him pursuing is still positive, but I don’t expect a guy to hold on to that. He has every right to keep moving and not waste time on waiting on me. However, don’t move on then come back to me later when I’m ready. That’s a stupid move.
And there is no doubt of which is my reasoning because I’m not gonna lie about it, but some guys are afraid to ask why - which one is the reason - because when you tell them it’s the first one, that he’s just not what you want - yeah, some guys freak out over that.
So, it’s not complicated, but it does depend on the situation.23 Reply- +1 y
It absolutely means she’s not interested. However, if I’m not up for having a relationship then I’m just not up for it. That means with any guy.
I’m not one who just dates casually; I’m looking for a long term life-long partner.
Therefore, if I accept or reject him more based on his looks then it’s when I’m ready for a relationship. If I reject a guy because of his looks I have no shame in telling him the truth. Other than that, if I accept and am ready for a relationship then that means he obviously appeals to me enough for me to date (which is not all dependent on looks). - +1 y

If one person is making more of the effort, that means that the attraction is more one-sided.
If the guy is pursuing the woman, and she's sitting back rather than meeting him half-way, it's bad for that reason. He should move on from such a woman.
Another thing men should consider when it comes to women speaking about these things and giving advice is that, as Rollo Tomassi speaks about, women "make rules for betas and break rules for alphas". Betas meaning guys she's less attracted to, alphas meaning guys she's strongly attracted to.
Women will tell men things that give them the power in the dating game. Why wouldn't they? It's pointless to hate on them for that, it makes perfect sense. If they could convince most men to follow their way, and give them the power, then they could avoid players for example, and get whatever they wanted. In fact for a woman that's the smart thing to do.
But, they also all sound so sensible online, we all do. To hear most people talk they never do anything based on emotion, everything they do is completely logical and we never go against those things right? We all know that's bullshit.
So, a woman will say that she'll never chase a man, that she expects the man to pursue her, that she'll make a guy wait for sex. That's when the woman has the power. And that's true - with the guys she's only kind of attracted to and isn't sold on yet.
However, once she meets a guy she's strongly attracted to she acts more on emotion, and all of that goes out of the window.
The same girl who'll have with one guy on one of the first few dates will say to another one "I don't have sex unless I'm already in a committed relationship and I prefer to take it slow" and make him wait weeks/months. All depending on how attracted to him she is.00 Reply

+1 yAttractiveness is a combination of variables, which could include the frequency of texts.
To me, I don't care if you're super attractive - if you text me every single day before we're dating, I'm gonna be turned off. That sort of thing screams "desperate and needy" to me.
But I'm also someone who is very much not a needy or clingy person. And I dislike neediness and clinginess - I'd be afraid you'd be even more needy and clingy in a full relationship. I'd rather maybe go for a coffee or date every weekend to talk about our weeks and swap stories.
However, other women might find that adorable or high value.
It depends on the girl.10 Reply

+1 yAttractiveness is one thing and I think completely separate from your intended question. I appreciate the attention of a daily text. Even if it’s just good morning and that’s it. It shows I’m at least in their thoughts which more than likely they are in mine. I just ended an almost relationship. He texted daily and sent cute loving emojis. Said he wanted a future with me and looked at houses saying there was room for my mustang yet giving of his time was an entirely different issue. Says he needs to figure out why he’s broken and where his fear is coming from. Part of me is upset because of my feeling of rejection and partly because I feel like this was coming the entire time. Yet chasing someone, I have mixed feelings on that. While I’m a romantic and think some people need persuasion, some Just like playing games so if you need to chase, you should be well knowledgeable in psychology and body language so that you know efforts are not being wasted.
10 ReplyIt def depends but it is nice to know you are being thought of morning and/or night. The problem with the frequent texting is that it is sooooo noticeable when it drops off. You eventually realize the person's personality is just a bit impulsive and they are running through their checklist. It was an interview. If you can't make arrangements to meet due to work or travel soon enough, it's possible it won't happen. Somebody else is on board even though you had a pretty good connection. I'm beginning to feel like I give good text. My time is being wasted ultimately. One even stole some of my stuff! "Sleep well" smh

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yWomen will all answer that it increases attraction but in reality it doesn't, as the asker pointed out in his update. If they are not attracted to him they will find it annoying; if they are attracted then the unsurity of whether he is fully into her fuels her attraction. (Women do this too-by playing hard to get and/or delaying sex to keep him interested). Neither side likes these tactics but both use them because they are effective. Further, if you respond quickly and often to her texts (much less initiate a lot) then she will expect it and you will be one of those "yes precious, whatever you say" simps who hand over their testicles to their girlfriend/Mommy
00 ReplyIt depends on age and where ur both at in life, under 25 years old would look desperate. But if ur well into 30's and know u both have jobs, getting that text after work hrs shows me he's kind enough to check in and talk about our days. Proves he cares and not just lazy tired after work.. If we discussed our lives enough, he'd know if I could or have the time to talk. But late in day would help relax me hearing from him. :)

Finally! An opinion that makes absolute perfect sense. Thanks @Peanut127 for saying this. It is exactly what I experience. Maturity plays a huge part in the dating game. A girl under 25 act very different to a girl above 25 and women in there 30 and above bring less drama from the beginning of pursuit in the relationship to being in the relationship. A behaviour of a woman in their 30s and above is much easier to comprehend and if you fucked up as a guy most likely you will know you fucked up but a woman under 25 will have a guy's head spinning with a lot of confusion.

I agree with this too! In my early to mid 20s, finding a relationship wasn't a high priority for me. I'm in my 30s now, and I have no interest in drama or playing games. I also won't tolerate a guy who is playing games (I'm better at spotting this now than I was before, too!). I think by the time we get to our 30s, we're all busy and we realize that life is too short to waste time on drama and game-playing. We've also learned a lot from past relationships, about what works for us and more importantly, what doesn't work for us. I don't like letting negative feelings fester for too long. In my younger years, I probably wouldn't have voiced something that was upsetting me. Now, if I'm questioning something, I'll straight up ask my guy, "So... are we good?" He says "Yep!" and we move on with our lives.
+1 yThis will always depend on the type of girl you’re attempting to attract. A requirement in almost every relationship is daily communication so it isn’t bizarre if you feel the desire to speak to her on a daily basis. We women talk nonstop most days so it’s in her to communicate.
10 Reply492 opinions shared on Dating topic. If I'm really interested in the guy, I like getting daily messages from him. I'm happy to occasionally send the first text of the day too, however. It's not all up to the guy. I wouldn't want a guy who I'm really interested in to think I'm not interested because I'm playing hard to get or whatever.

You asked that if the guy message daily... then what will a girl think? right...
Definitely the second one. Girls don’t want you to waste their time. Well the good girls don’t. But attractiveness isn’t really based on that at all really.
You say that the first one is the one that works. It’s just that a lot of girls are not mature enough to handle the second one. But they do want it. I assure you.00 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Dating topic. It depends. If i have some attraction to you i won't always reply, but there's something hot about you chasing and being so persistant. I will still reply to an extent.
If i dont and you message me daily i won't EVER respond and you will probably be blocked00 Reply
+1 yThis is exactly the kind of simplistic black and white thinking that will get you nowhere in dating.
Also: " Guys are responding because they know the truth of whether it works or not."? You're a such a delusional little worm, it's almost amusing. Your "us vs. them" just shows how low your mental maturity is. Ridiculous.01 Reply- +1 y

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI'd say that what matters is to be authentic. If a guy wants to do it, because its his personal choice, is an act of vulnerability and courage. And yes, thats' attractive.
Half of the guys that have shown interest on me have been so "flaky" and believe me.. that is the worst a guy can do.12 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 yThat's very subjective! A way of not being desperate is to be friendly with certain boundaries... again that is so personal.
+1 yI imagine that it would depend on how she feels about the guy. It would probably turn her off if she really isn’t that into him and it would probably increase her level of attraction if she already very much into the guy.

So in your opinion there is no set situation... So unless this question is about a particular relationship between two people and then are you saying it has no merit for generalized information to pursue the relationship? And I would be curious to know what the majority of the women feel about that
It's too much. They stop respecting you after a while. They just won't ever admit that, because they actually just enjoy the attention we give them. They thrive on that and are concerned with that above all other considerations in life.
