I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I couldn't find it.

"What are you looking for" has been asked to me so many times, usually on the first interaction or first date. I assume the majority of girls asking this question are looking for a boyfriend. It could also be a test.

Personally, I am looking for casual relationships with the potential to take one as a girlfriend. Obviously, I would never go into specifics with a girl and spill all my beans.

How can you create mystery and intrigue while coming off as sincere that she could eventually be a girlfriend if she meets my checklist of girlfriend qualities.

How would you guys answer this question?

I think it would be a mistake to assume they are only looking for a boyfriend. Remember girls have different 'slots' for different guys. You can just as easily fail by getting incorrectly slotted into the boyfriend category as you can by being too explicit.

Personally, I would just tell her the truth, in a vague and dismissive way, maybe tease her about it a bit, change the subject and focus on escalation. If she's not interested, giving her your resume is not going to help.

It’s a shit test to box you off into a category. You don’t want to be in the boyfriend box, you want to be in the edgy lover box.

she probably wants to get banged out without commitment but can’t say it.

this still happens even at my age with all women, and I don’t answer directly

usually I say something like “world peace and free love”

then change the subject.

heres two answers that i use:

girl: what are you looking for?
fog: chemistry
girl: what are you looking for?
fog: im open to anything

palma says its an attempt to box you off into a category, and i agree.

the majority of girls asking you this are not looking for a boyfriend. rather, they ask this because they want to start flirting with you, and further define the relationship between you and her.

these answers work because they are ambiguous, hold a wide frame and are sufficiently flirty.

I have a question regarding this ..

are women sexually shy by nature ? regardless of the society ( liberal or conservative, repressed / free ) they belong to ?

i get it, that they almost NEVER make the first move, whether it's an asian girl from a conservative background or an american woman with a liberal upbringing, they will almost never ask a man out .. they will always expect the man to ask her out ( they will instead send out approach invitations or some very tricky-to-detect signals etc )

but what about sexual discussions ? are they always so .. secretive, so discreet and tight-lipped about those ?

It is an invitation to make her qualify herself.....

So do that...

..." I'm looking for someone who I can talk easily with who is affectionate and likes to laugh."

..."Looking for someone who loves the outdoors and is passionate about life"

..."looking for someone who is up for adventures, and lives like there is no tomorrow"

Make it in the direction of pleasure seeking, but not too specific. The more interested she is the more she will qualify herself, and then you reward that with attention and and expand her specific interest with leading questions...

True dat

Agreed

LMAO. Might be a little too gamey for me. Nice deflection though

Absolutely love this answer. Law of least effort and it's sincere while being playful at the same time. Unless you want a one night stand, then your other answer works perfectly

girl: what are you looking for?
fog: im open to anything

;)

@Yaxir

This is an enormous subject and one that still amazes me every time I think it through and it’s bought home to me.

I still now (at 53 with an N of over 200) find it incredible to believe exactly how sexual women are. By and large They are far far dirtier and more sexual than most men. But only with the right man.

Take a woman I was banging a few years ago - pristine white uniform bc she was a therapist, perfect nails and make up, coy and shy. One image for the outside world. But when you flipped the switch and were the man she was having sex with she wanted everything, hair pulling, face stuffed into the pillow, dp with me and a butt plug (and probably actually more than that in her head). Handle her like that and she would shake uncontrollably and get off.

by the way I know she’s not doing that stuff with her current lover because he hasn’t taken her there and she either hasn’t said she wants it or he isn’t capable of doing it. If she had to tell him she wanted it like that then it would turn her off. He has to “just know”. By now he’s boring the shit out of her

The thing is you could never and I mean NEVER intimated at doing any of that during the lead up, or actually in the first couple of sex sessions.
You have to handle the seduction properly and gently or you’ll scare them off.


Women can’t admit what they like for a number of reasons. One, it’s ASD, but the bigger thing with younger women is they’re not confident that the man can actually deliver it, respect limits, and go to those limits without the girl getting hurt.
I don’t know if that answers your question

I got asked this too many times during my online dating escapades, didn't seem to matter what the context was or how I answered it. The answer was always wrong (before I understood what was happening).

It's a shit test a lot like the "Do you have a girlfriend" one. If you say yes, then you're a cheating asshole who she rejects. If you say no then why don't you have a girlfriend, are you a loser?

Then I just started sending this and it seems to hit the mark:


Honestly, from what I can tell of women asking questions like this, it's not that they're trying to test you or anything. I think it's genuine curiosity mixed in with them self-sabotaging from asking shitty questions that don't really have a 'right' answer. So basically, just deflect it with a politician's non-answer and move right on along.

Completely agree.

Women have to maintain a public persona/image of almost being asexual - they need to try and appear innocent and almost virginal - this public image is partly to maintain their position in society and particularly within the hierarchy of her friends. It is so ingrained that it becomes part of the physiological foundations of who she is and therefore doing anything to make her feel like she could possible be seen as a 'slut' is immediately shut down. She feels she has to shut it down otherwise she will undermine the foundations of who she is - hence the term ASD (Anti-slut defenses)

There is of course a certain irony here against the point @PalmaSailor makes above. Because of this we often refer to a "secret society" which basically refer to people who understand that there is "code of plausible deniability" and confidentiallity that has to be maintained in public. This persona is also maintained in private until both parties understand and trust that other person also understands this code and that you need to maintain this persona to protect the girls reputation.

There are some really good articles on Girls Chase that cover this in much more detail - but hopfull this gives you an insight.

It’s as Derek says

So it’s taken me an awfully long time to understand this. All my life in fact.

The best way I can describe it is that it has to be done in stealth mode. And you definitely can’t “discuss it” with anyone else. You can’t even discuss it with the woman concerned until you are a long way in to an established situation where you are banging her. Even then you have to be very careful.

You can’t escalate and push the limits ref the sex until you’ve banged her at least twice. She has to be totally comfortable with you. Even then you have to lead her. You can’t ask if she’s into xyz because she may not know (because it may have only occurred as a fantasy in her head) and if she does know she can’t admit it so you have to escalate and feel how she responds. For instance gently getting her by the throat while fucking her and slowly increasing your grip - you’ll feel in her response if you’re unleashing her erotic desires if she starts to get off like mad. If she doesn’t like it she’ll give you a sign and you need to back off.

Even if it drove her into a frenzy, after the event you shouldn’t actually even talk about what she liked. It’s unspoken, she won’t necessarily want to talk about it even with the man doing it to her. Definitely do not say anything like “I can’t believe you liked it when I did xyz”

As Derek says it is to preserve their image, however the ironic thing is that they will actually discuss the sex amongst their friends - but that’s their decision, don’t you even think about mentioning anything at all. I have yet to get to the point of banging their friends but I think this is totally acceptable and they will share secret society lovers.


When you are in, they will also talk openly with you about their married girlfriends who have lovers. They won’t actually say “she’s married and has a lover” but they’ll say xyz is having trouble with her boyfriend. I had to double take at the time. I said “oh isn’t she the one married to Dave?” She said “yeah that’s the one”. You have to not bat an eyelid and not judge.

Secret society is especially relevant when banging younger women. Right now I have a 25 yo (I’m 53), she’s very slim and good looking, and she wants all the sex she can get. She comes and stays over for days at a time and has been doing that since November. I won’t get into how we met, but she won’t tell me her surname and I have no idea about her social media or anything else and that’s obviously because she doesn’t want me to know her “other” life. And when she comes over we don’t leave my place except for the odd country walk or to get food shopping. (We’re locked down here anyway)
She comes and goes. I don’t ask her any questions, I don’t judge her, and I don’t make any demands of her except sex which I lead. When she leaves I don’t ask when she’s coming back, what she’s doing, where she’s going and I don’t text or call her.

and also including @Derek da man in this reply

WOW just wow !

ok i kind of get now .. i always thought Secret Society was a crazy sex cult or something

no , it's not !

it's a way of thinking or rather way of perceiving, regarding the casual relationships than men and women have

it secret society, because no self-respecting person in the entire world would EVER reveal their intense sexual desires and internal sexual identity for the world to see

it all makes so much fucking sense now !

haha !

thanks both of you, i just hope i am able to reach that level of intimacy and sexual familiarity with a few women in my lifetime !
