So getting a phone number really isn't that big of an accomplishment. It's getting a phone number that sticks. And when I say sticks, it means her texting you back and her actually going out with you. A girl going on a date with a guy is not only risky because she's risking her safety, but it's also a gigantic hassle. She has to get her makeup on. She has to figure out what to wear. Many times, boys, when it comes to women, their hormones are all over the place.
So a tub of ice cream might sound better than going out with you. And that's why, once again, we need to make it stick. We need to make it feel like something she really wants to do. And here's some techniques to get you that little bit more attraction that will hopefully get her to actually text you back and come out with you. The Unapologetic Man Podcast. What is up, you champions? Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the UMP. I super appreciate you joining me.
And I got a good one for you today, boys. 10 things to say and do to make a phone number that actually sticks. If you've been listening for a long time, you understand that getting a phone number is pretty damn easy. In fact, we could get lots of phone numbers on any given night. It's really not that difficult, partly because girls will sometimes give us BS numbers or give us her number without any intention of texting us back simply to get rid of us. So getting a phone number really isn't that big of an accomplishment.
It's getting a phone number that sticks. And when I say sticks, it means her texting you back and her actually going out with you. That is really important. And the thing that dictates whether or not you get a phone number that sticks is the first conversation. Were you attractive enough? Did you elicit enough emotions? Is she feeling comfortable enough around you and attracted enough to you to want to actually hang out with you outside this first conversation? Now, what a lot of guys will do is when they yank that phone number, they'll just kind of like leave.
They'll just be like, all right, good to meet you. See you later. And it can kind of make the girl feel used sometimes or feel like, oh, that's all he wanted from me was my phone number. He doesn't really care too much about the conversation. So what I always try to do is I always try to stick in there a little bit longer, let her know I wasn't just there to yank her phone number. She wasn't some notch on the bedpost or some accomplishment I was trying to make, but that I'm actually interested in her.
Now, obviously, logistically speaking, it's not always possible to stay in there with her longer. And yeah, sometimes, many times, I've gotten the phone number and just dipped out. But the ones that really stick are the ones where you'll stick around a little bit longer, maybe say or do a few charming things that I'm going to tell you about today that really help that phone number to stick. And again, when I say stick, that means she texts you back on time. She's participatory. And of course, she wants to go out with you because we have to understand that a girl going on a date with a guy is not only risky because she's risking her safety, but it's also a gigantic hassle.
She has to get her makeup on. She has to figure out what to wear. Many times, boys, when it comes to women, their hormones are all over the place. So a tub of ice cream might sound better than going out with you. And that's why, once again, we need to make it stick. We need to make it feel like something she really wants to do. And here's some techniques to get you that little bit more attraction that will hopefully get her to actually text you back and come out with you.
All right. So an easy way to go to phone number is to be like, hey, you seem pretty cool. Why don't you toss me your number? And maybe we'll catch up some other time. That's kind of like the basic thing I always say. There's a bunch of different ways, but that's generally what I do. If you want more ways, I have done podcasts about it in the past. So she says, yeah, for sure. You give her your phone. She puts her phone number into it. And one thing I like to do too is to put Hurricane in front of her name.
So if her name is Amy, for example, you put Hurricane Amy and then hand her your phone. She laughs again. We just want those little spikes of attraction. And that's something I do that always cracks them up. Now, once they give me their phone number, I always say, or I should say, I usually say, I promise to text you 500 times in a row until your cell phone overheats and burns a hole in your purse. And that again, too, is just a little spike where she'll laugh and hopefully get a little bit more attraction.
Something else I like to say would be something like, so Amy, I know you like to repetitively text people. You're like a compulsive texter, but please don't text me more than 500 times in a row. My cell phone overheats and I have enough burns on my legs as it is. So take it easy over there. And that always cracks them up. Another thing you can say is, hey, listen, Amy, no calls after 1 a.m. I get enough of those as it is. And again, guys, these are just little things you can throw in to crack her up.
All right, something I like to do that works really well is once she puts the phone number into my phone, I call her. And this not only corroborates whether or not she gave you the correct phone number, but it also leads into a fun little gambit that, again, might spike her attraction just that little bit more to actually want to text you back and hang out with you. So you put Hurricane Amy, right? You hand it to her. She laughs. She puts her phone number in it.
Then you press call. It's going to call her and it's going to be ringing. You'd be like, hey, pick that up. So she picks it up and she's like, hello? And you'd be like, yeah, this is Mark. So I got this like kind of weird girl's number. I think she's kind of cool, but I also think she might be a Stalker Texas Ranger. Do you think I can trust this girl? So you guys are actually like talking on the phone as you're standing in front of each other and it makes for kind of a flirty banter opportunity where she'll be like, I don't know.
I don't know if you can handle her. You'd be like, yeah, she seems cool, but I don't know. I can just imagine her sneaking in my backyard and putting on a ghillie suit and being like in the bushes and training a sniper rifle on me. Do you think she's that kind of girl? And then she'll banter with you and say yes or no or whatever it is. And it makes for a funny little moment before you dip out. Now regarding dipping out, as I alluded to previously, girls will sometimes feel cheap if you yank their number and then you're just like, see you later.
And she's like, oh, all he wanted was my number. So what I like to do ideally, and again, this doesn't always happen, but ideally speaking, I like to kind of work it into the conversation and stay an extra two, three, five minutes if I can. So for example, you'd be like, you know what? I enjoy talking to you while we're doing this. Why don't you toss me your number right now? And maybe we'll catch up some other time too. She says, yeah, for sure. She puts her number in it.
And then you go into like another story and be like, oh, that reminds me. See that thing over there? And then you talk about another story. A little bit more warmth is given. A little bit more familiarity when it's not just give me your number and then I'm fucking out of here. Like she hasn't even finished putting the last number in your phone and you're like grabbing the phone and walking off. It makes them feel cheap. So if you can stick around, that's ideal. That isn't always possible.
But when you can, I definitely suggest it. And saying those things, especially calling them, that shit works really well. All right, boys, before I get into the next one, and this one's really important, so you need to stick around. I actually got a new sponsor. Yeah, I always get people hitting me up for sponsorships and I'm like, ah, I'm not really interested. But apparently this guy, Mark Singh of the Unapologetic Man podcast.

The next one is don't let a girl whose phone number you just got see you flirting with other girls. And this is why anytime I'm out trying to get a lot of phone numbers, I will get a lot of phone numbers. I will get phone numbers from girls who are seeing me speak to lots of different girls. But here's the thing. I don't make it obvious that I'm flirting with them. I don't touch them. I don't get into their personal space. I definitely don't kiss them.
Have made that mistake many times before. Because any girl whose phone number you yanked previously will be blown out if she sees you flirting and, of course, making out with other chicks. So the way you play it is that you're a social guy who's just talking to different people. And when you yank the phone number, do it very much under the table. I have a place in every single bar I go to, even coffee shops, even in day game. And let's just use the bar as an example.
I pull them over to the side and do it underneath the bar. So there's like a dark corner in all the bars that you go to. I guarantee you the bars and nightclubs or wherever you frequent has a secret place. Pull them over there. And this is what I say. I say, hey, listen, I really don't get many girls' phone numbers in here. And I don't want to be like that guy, the guy who's like ruining his reputation. So let's just do it real low key over here.
Okay. They always say yes, because they don't want to feel like a slut either. So I pull them over to the dark place, wherever it is. Let's use the bar as an example. I have her do it under the bar. I just kind of hand her my phone. I don't make it obvious. Guys who are going around yanking phone numbers from girls and again, boys, getting phone numbers is super easy. So I'm never like impressed when a guy's like, yeah, I got like 10 numbers tonight. Who the fuck cares?
How many numbers did you get to stick? And more importantly, how many dates did you get this week? That's the real question. There's this one dude I used to watch on YouTube. He's no longer a pickup artist coach, but he would go around and like write girls' phone numbers on his hands. So it's like he gets a number and he's writing it on his hand. And the girl's like, how many numbers did you get? You think because of pre-selection, which means when girls know that other girls want you, it's a good thing and it builds attraction.
But in this instant, it actually works against you because you look like a man whore. And even though girls are attracted to men who other girls want, they're not attracted to man whores. What you want to portray is lots of girls want you, but you're always pushing them away. You're like, nah, you're not good enough. You're not good enough until this girl comes along and you're like, hmm, you might be good enough. That's the vibe you want. So when I'm out talking to lots of girls, I keep my hands off.
I give them lots of space. Yeah, I'm running game. Yeah, maybe I'm being flirty in my language, but I want it to look like I'm chill and she's the one like super flirting with me. But if another girl is watching it, it may even seem like I'm not like super into it or I might be into it. That possibility is good, but directly going into it, and I've done it many times, really showing that I'm interested in that girl will piss off the other girls. I have been yelled at boys, fucking screamed at because I got a little bit too into it.
I was a little flirty, started touching her, holding her hand in instances where I didn't even make out with them, which I've done too, but in instances where I didn't even make out with them, I've had girls come up to me and yell at me. I'm like, fuck, dude, I put 20 minutes of work into this chick. It was a super solid number. We already had plans for God's sakes. Then my red helmet to warrior in my pants convinced me to get super flirty with this other girl.
I got a little too excited, bro, and I started touching her. I started getting real flirty, getting really close, and then girl A got pissed off because I was flirting too much with girl B blew myself out. So you need to think logistically, control yourself, and almost in a way, when you're not touching them, when you're not showing too much interest, it will work to your benefit even with the girl you're trying to attract because, again, you don't want to seem too interested. You don't want it to seem, like I always say, all your Christmases have arrived on the same day.
So we're always a little standoffish, and we don't want other girls to see us obviously yanking numbers and obviously flirting with other girls. All right, boys, and I want to give you a few bonus tips. Honestly, I don't even know if I got to 10 or more. I just throw down a bunch of ideas and rifle them at you, but I'm sure you've gotten tons of value. Next one is text her the next day at 6 p.m. We don't want to do that whole waiting game. We don't want to play games.
I don't like to text them immediately after, and if you did the call technique, she already has your number, and who knows? Sometimes they'll text you, but I like to do the next day at 6 p.m. and then reference something that we spoke about in the first conversation. You guys may have heard that I always accuse girls of being ice cream men, so I'll be like, hey, what do you do for a living? Let me guess. Let me guess. You're an ice cream man, aren't you?
And she's like, no, I'm not. I'm like, yeah, you are. Don't be ashamed of it. You're Denver's best ice cream man. Listen, I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. I actually live in a cardboard box outside this bar, so here's what I want you to do. Come here tomorrow, 12 p.m., with two gallons. That's right, two gallons, Amy, of mint chocolate chip. I will be your best friend. Pull up in your little ice cream man truck with the Rastafarian image on the side with the music going and bring me my two gallons of mint chocolate chip.
She's like, shut up. Okay. So I always accuse them of being an ice cream man, and then after I do that, I'm like, nah, really, what do you do? I have her tell me a story about it, and then I reward them. I'm like, you know what? That's actually pretty cool. So it's that balance of like messing with them, being sarcastic, being silly, and then being serious. You have to have both vibes. Okay. So she gives me her number. I text her the next day at 6 p.m., and I refer back to what we spoke about, a high point of the conversation.
Since I will often accuse girls of being an ice cream man, I will sometimes say this. So Kelly, I saw an ice cream truck going 100 miles per hour down the 25 freeway. I know you're late for the ice cream man convention, but slow down. You're going to kill somebody. So once again, it's referring back to the first conversation, a high point of it. You want to make her laugh and give her an easy softball for her to hit back to you. That's the ideal first text. Now, it goes without saying, another bonus tip.
Dude, I can launch into another podcast episode right now about texting. And actually, maybe I will do another episode soon about texting. But one thing I want to say on this, never fucking double text. You text her, she texts you. You text her, she texts you. You text her, she doesn't text back. You do not double text. What you do instead is you wait two weeks, that's right, I said it, two weeks of radio silence, and you follow up with what I call the black hole template.
80% success rate on this. So listen closely. You text her, she doesn't text back. Cool. You don't sweat it. You don't double text. You're not spazzing out. Losing your precarious sense of your composure and coming unpeeled like a little pussy. You stay calm, you don't text her. Then what you do in two weeks is you say this. So I was texting with this pretty cool girl, but I think she got sucked into a black hole. I hope she's okay. Dot, dot, dot. 80% success rate. Why is that?
Is it the black hole reference? Is that funny or some NLP trick? No. It's the two weeks that you waited. You're not being needy. You're not following up. You're showing her that I'm cool without you. I have plenty of options and that will usually be enough to get her attracted enough to not only text with you, but hopefully and obviously come out with you. So to review them, gentlemen, getting numbers is easy. Getting phone numbers that stick is the hard part. I promise to text you 500 times in a row until your cell phone overheats and burns a hole in your purse.
Or, hey, Kelly, don't text me more than 50 times in a row. My cell phone overheats and I have enough burns on my leg as it is. Next one is no calls after 1 a.m. I get enough of those as it is. And then another one is call her right there and then accuse her of being a little bit weird. Say she's going to turn into a stalker Texas ranger and have a fun little interaction with her there. Another tip is depending on the situation, don't just bail the second you get the phone number.
Stick in there a little bit. Build a little more rapport, a little more trust and connection. Maybe crack her up a few times and then excuse yourself. Next one is don't be the dude who's getting tons of chicks numbers. Do it under the radar. Don't let them see you doing it. And on that note, don't be touching chicks, leaning in too much. Look like you're just a social guy who lots of girls want, but you're more discerning and you're not flirting with girls because the girl whose number you got previously is the one you're really interested in.
All these other girls are interested in you, but you're kind of on the fence about them. One good way to do this is to take them to a dark part of the bar and kind of do it under the bar or in a place where all the other girls aren't going to see you doing it because I guarantee you, you flirt too much or you yank phone numbers, it pisses them off. It makes them blow you out and they're not going to text you back. A few bonus tips are text her the next day at 6 p.m.
Make reference to something you two spoke about in the first conversation and never, ever double text. And if she goes to you, then you wait two weeks and follow up with the black hole template. Gentlemen, I super appreciate you listening. I drop podcasts every Tuesday, so please stay tuned for the next one and I will see you in the next episode. What is up, brother?
