Cindy Lauper was right. Girls, they want to have fun.
Welcome to the Dating Transformation Podcast. Here's your host, dating coach, Conal Barrett.
Welcome back to the Dating Transformation Podcast. I am your host, dating coach,
Conal Barrett. I'm the real life Hitch. If Hitch was a skinny, nerdy ginger who looked like
a cross between the lead singer for Weezer and Ron Howard. Anyway, I help introverted men
gain confidence, flirt with charm, overcome self-doubt, and get a great, amazing girlfriend.
And doing all of this without any creepy, weird pickup artist
BS, no toxic masculinity, this is about being your best, most authentic self with women.
And I'm really psyched about today's pod because I have a very simple, practical tip
that I'm going to share in just a few minutes about how to drastically cut down
on getting ghosted, how to get ghosted a lot less, and how to get more dates. There's a very simple,
practical thing you can do. I'm going to walk you through it by the end of this pod.
And ghosting is a big topic because ghosting is a thing that a lot of guys struggle with
if you're like most men you get matches on the apps but or actually if you're like most men you
don't get matches on the apps at least not as many as you want but then when you do get a good match
it's so often you send that opener and you get no reply. Or maybe you do get a reply and then she doesn't respond to
your next message and you just got ghosted. Or another common situation is maybe you're out in
the world socializing, you're at a party, maybe you talk to a woman at a bar at a party and you
get her number. And then you say, hey, Jenny, it was nice meeting you. Great chatting with you. Crickets. Nothing back. And that really can bum you out because
finally you get a good lead. Finally a woman you're excited to have a date with or at least
get to know better. And then she goes quiet. And it makes you wonder, what the heck am I doing wrong?
Why do women ghost me? What do I have to write? What do I say? And today,
I want to help you fix that and cut way down on ghosting and get a lot more matches and a lot more dates. And so I'm going to give you a texting tip called the three times rule. It's a really
simple system you can use to cut way down on ghosting and get more dates.
Before I do that, I want to give you a quick overview of a really powerful, important tool
that can be a real superpower in your dating life.
So if you've read my book, and even if you haven't, I want to
quickly take 20 seconds and go over what I call the five super values. What are super values?
These are five. Let's think of them as five players on the basketball court. These are five
players you need to have on the basketball court of your dating life if you want to win games and
win an NBA championship. The five super values, this is all in my book, but I'll go over it really
quick right now. Here are the five super values. The five super values are number one, authenticity,
being truly radically authentic with women. What that means is aligning your thoughts,
your words, and your actions from a true genuine place and letting women see the real best you,
because that's your most attractive side. The second super value is connection.
The art of connecting with women in a masculine, feminine, man-to-woman way.
You don't need to create attraction with women.
You need to spark connection. Attraction happens naturally if we get on that man-to-woman wavelength.
So the second super value is connection. The third one is courage. There are going to be so
many times in your dating life when you have to show courage, right? That first approach, asking your crush out,
going for the first kiss, there are just moments when you have to have courage. That's your third
super value. The fourth is fun and playfulness. Hey, dating should be fun. Women don't want to
go on a date with a guy who's super negative or boring. She wants to play. She wants to have fun.
Cyndi Lauper was right. Girls, they want to have fun. And the fifth and final super value,
and this is the one we're going to talk about today. It's the least sexy, but it might be
among the most effective, is resilience. Resilience. In other words, tenacity,
grit, determination. Look, if connecting with bright, beautiful, incredible women was easy,
and if getting your dream girlfriend was easy, every guy would have that. But it's not always easy. You're not sure how to flirt, you struggle on the apps, and desirable women just don't seem into you.

And it takes moments of resilience. Basically, it takes moments of persistence and not giving up and
basically getting back up on the horse. So think of these five super values as the five starting
players on your all-star basketball team of your dating life. And you're the head coach,
okay? You're Pat Riley. You're Red Auerbach. Boy, I'm old dating myself.
I can't even think of any modern day coaches right now. I haven't watched an NBA game in years. But basically, you are Phil Jackson. And these five players are your Jordan, your Pippen,
your star players. Okay? So let's talk about resilience. There's a lot of ways to be resilient.
And we're going to get into the resilience on texting and how to stop getting ghosted.
But here are a couple of examples from my dating life of what
I mean by resilience. So resilience is essentially saying to yourself, I'm not going to give up
on my goal, on my outcome of finding love, of finding a woman or dating the quality of women
or finding the single incredible woman who is my type. And resilience comes in all shapes
and sizes. Resilience might be you go out to chat up women for the night, and the first three or
four women you talk to blew you off or maybe just weren't that interested in talking to you. And instead of licking your wounds and going home, you instead say,
you know what, let me do one more. Let me talk to one more woman and see what happens. That would
be an example of resilience. Another example of resilience might be you're on a date and it's going okay. But it's not going great. It's going just fine.
And part of you might say to yourself, well, this isn't going anywhere.
Might as well end the date.
But instead, you try a different approach.
So let me give you a couple examples of resilience in my life.
And then I'm going to get to the three times rule.
How to show resilience and persistence in your texting in a way to cut down on ghosting. Here's a couple examples of resilience
in my life and also in my clients, the men I coach here in New York City. I coach men all over the
world, but I'll probably give a couple of examples of resilience from here in New York City.
So here's resilience in action. I once went out
to approach women. When I was learning, being coached by other men and coaching myself,
I would go out several days a week, and I usually gave myself a goal. I said,
I'm going to go out and approach women for one hour or until I get to five approaches, whichever comes first. And then I
told myself, that is what I'm going to do. No matter what, I'm just going to keep going. I'm
going to do my five. So I would go out on a lot of Saturday afternoons. And I went out one Saturday
afternoon many years ago here in New York City. I went to a park, a park called Madison
Square Park. And the first woman I walked up to that day in Madison Square Park, I went up,
I talked to her, I chatted. She was friendly. She was cool, but she wasn't that into me. I could
kind of tell. I wasn't super into her. I asked for her number and she said, oh, I don't think so.
I'm kind of seeing somebody. So I got a quick thanks,
but no thanks. She was polite, but she just wasn't that interested. So I was 0 for 1.
Then the next girl I went up to, she happened to look a lot like Selena Gomez. I just remember
thinking, whoa, that girl's got a whole Selena Gomez thing going on. And I approached this woman and she immediately rebuffed me. A pretty hard,
fast rejection. And at the time, I'd already gotten pretty good at approaching women. So I
didn't get very many harsh rejections, but this one was pretty instant. It was basically,
she didn't look at me. She just looked down at her phone and
said something like, no, thanks. I'm not interested and just kept walking. And of course, like a
gentleman, I try to always be a gentleman. I said, all good. No worries. Nice meeting you. Bye-bye.
At the same time though, I have to admit, I felt a little bit, well, I'm a human too. I felt a little bit, well, I'm a human too.
I felt rejected.
And I thought, man, maybe it's just, today's just not my day.
Today's just not my day.
Maybe I should go home.
Maybe I should quit.
Maybe I'm just not in the zone.
I'll go home, hit the gym, reboot, try again tomorrow.
But I made myself a deal.
I told myself, I'm going to go out and chat up five girls today. And so it was basically the deal I would make with myself was do five
approaches. Or if I got a phone number before the fifth one, I could just basically celebrate that
and quit or stop, give myself a reward. So I said to myself, I'm not quitting
until I either get a phone number or a date. I'm sorry. Or I hit my five. So I walked into Whole
Foods, which is located right there near this park. I walked into Whole Foods and I saw a tall,
beautiful blonde woman in the middle of Whole Foods with a younger female, like maybe a
12, 13-year-old. And the older woman, who was probably mid-20s, she was doing yoga poses
and showing them to her younger companion. And I looked at them and I thought, oh, that's probably
big sister and little sister hanging out. And I remember
thinking, is it creepy to walk up to an attractive woman while she's with her little sister? Is that
going to be awkward? Is that going to be weird? Am I going to get rejected again? Oh my God,
then I'll be over three. Then maybe I'm not good enough. Maybe women don't like me. Perhaps I should just
move to a monastery and become a monk. All these thoughts go through your head when you're on this
dating, approaching journey. But anyway, so I quieted those thoughts and I just said,
no, be resilient, Connell. Be resilient. Stick to your plan. Go chat up woman number three.
So I walked over and I'm always trying to make approaching fun.
Because once you can make approaching fun, man, the floodgates open,
become something you really enjoy doing.
So I looked at the situation.
I thought, okay, it's probably big sister, little sister, or maybe like big sister,
little cousin. And they were both doing like a yoga pose. So I thought, what would make this
fun for me? How would I enjoy this? And I just thought, oh, you know what would be funny is if
I walked over and I did a yoga pose with them and I pretended like we were taking a class together. So I walk over and I mirror the yoga pose that they were doing.
And I said something like, oh, hey, I love these Saturday morning yoga classes at Whole Foods
or something like that. It was not necessarily the wittiest, coolest thing in the world
or the most clever opener. But the thing about opening is it doesn't have to be that clever.
The older woman, the one who I found really attractive, she laughed. Her younger companion
laughed as well. And basically, I did a really nice open. And the situation was just pretty
much what I suspected. It was big sister, little sister out for a Saturday afternoon.
Now, the older woman, her name is, well, I don't want to use her real name because who knows?
I like to protect people's privacy.
Let's say her name was Sarah.
So Sarah was, at the time, this was 10 years ago or so, but at the time, Sarah was a writer, a model, part-time model, a writer, Russian-born, who was majoring in Russian literature.
Why do I say all that?
Because that's basically my dream girl. Basically, what man wouldn't want to be with a Russian-born model who's also intelligent.
She knows Russian literature. We talked about war and peace. We talked about her degree.
Just a total 10 out of 10 in my book. And she was hanging out with her little sister for the afternoon.
And long story short, I chatted.
I was very friendly with both of them.
I did not hardcore flirt with Sarah.
That'd be a little weird to flirt with a girl super intensely when she's right there with her kid sister.
So I just kept it friendly and just chatted with them both.
Rejection, ghosting, loneliness, lack of dates and lack of confidence.
For many men, dating just sucks.
But it doesn't have to.
There's a simple yet powerful way to gain instant confidence
and attract a great

Found out sort of what the deal was, what they were up to that day.
And then after about three or four minutes, I said to Sarah, hey, I got to get going.
I've got some things to do.
But how about, would you like to trade numbers? It'd be cool to chat sometime when you're not
busy with your sister here. And she was totally cool with that. Long story short, we exchanged
numbers and I got a date with a credible, beautiful model slash writer slash Russian lit expert named Sarah. And so I walked home that day thinking,
wow, I'm so glad I kept going. I'm so glad I didn't take those first two blowouts as
some sort of indication that you can't successfully approach women because that's not true.
That was a real powerful reminder of the power of being resilient, of saying, you know what?
0 for 2 isn't so bad. Let's get to 5. I'm a baseball fan. So oftentimes, I'll use the
metaphor of a baseball player who might strike out the first couple
times at the plate, but you know what?
He keeps swinging and that's how he hits home runs.
Aaron Judge last year hit, what was it?
62, 63 home runs, setting the New York Yankees record.
He also struck out something like 180 times.
So he led the team in home runs.
He also led the team in strikeouts.
And that's just part of the game, right? That's just baseball. And with going out with dating,
and especially with approaching, it's okay to strike out. It's okay to swing and miss.
But you don't go home after you strike out a couple times in baseball. You keep swinging.
You do the same thing with approaching. So you
want to stay resilient. So that's an example of resilience. One other quick example of resilience
is a client I have who went on a date a while back. His name is Gerald. Gerald was on a first
date and his first date was not going that well. What was not going well is they were talking about
dating too much. Gerald and Amy were on a first date. And after about one drink,
45 minutes into the date, he felt like it was going flat. And he later told me that he almost
ended the date. He almost made the assumption that they
just didn't have a spark, didn't have a connection. But because I had coached him on this, he said,
no, be resilient. Try something different. Maybe the topic isn't right for us. And he was right
about that. Amy and Gerald had been talking too much about dating itself,
which isn't a great first date topic. Talking about dating too much, it's sort of like talking
about why a joke is funny. If you overanalyze comedy, it loses the humor. And if you overanalyze
dating on an actual date, it's too meta and it doesn't let the two of you connect
as people. So Gerald said, be resilient. What did he do? He changed locations. He invited her to
have a second drink at a different spot. Very smart. That logistical change of venue sort of
rebooted the date. It's almost like it started over.
And then he also changed the topics. He said, okay, no more talking about dating. I want to
find out about her. I want to find out what makes her special, what makes her interesting. I want
to share about me, share my sense of humor, basically do the fun, get to know you, flirty first date stuff.
And by the end of the date, they had a really great goodnight kiss, a really sexy, passionate
goodnight kiss. And last I checked, they're going to see each other again. And that's the power of
resilience is just saying, hey, don't give up yet.
Let's try something different.
Let's be resilient, right?
There's a real power in resilience, not just in dating, just in your life in general.
I mean, stop right now and think about something you've done in your life that was truly incredible.
Like what is one of the greatest results or achievements of your life?
What might that be? Did you learn a second language? Did you get a really hard to get degree,
like a law degree, a doctor degree, a medical degree? Did you start a business? Did you work really hard to lose weight? I've worked with guys who've dropped 200 pounds, went from obese to six-pack abs.
I have a client who is five years sober. He went from alcohol and drug addiction to being a fitness fiend who has not
had a drop of any drug or alcohol in five years. And he's now so much healthier and happier.
Think about anything amazing you've accomplished. It took a lot of resilience, didn't it? There were
moments when you wanted to quit,
moments when you doubted yourself, moments when you just kind of had that moment of doubt.
And then if you succeeded at this thing, I'm quite sure you said, you know what? I'm going
to be resilient. I'm going to keep going. So that's the power of resilience in your dating life. Now let's apply this to texting. Let's talk about what I call
the three times rule. Here's a way that you can be persistent, resilient in texting with women
and cut way down on ghosting and get more dates. Here's how we do it. So anytime you're texting
with a woman, let's say you just matched with her on a dating app, or you just got her number out
in the world. You may, I would say not only may, you should, can and should text her three times
before giving up and calling this a ghosting. Because here's one of the biggest myths in dating.
One unanswered text message does not count as getting ghosted. I'll say that again because
it's so important. One unanswered text message does not equal getting ghosted. Now, I know all about getting ghosted. I've seen more ghosts than
Jack Nicholson in The Shining. I know all about it. But one unanswered message I learned is not
ghosting. One unanswered message just means that she didn't respond. Maybe it wasn't a good enough
text message and she wanted something a bit more interesting and funnier. Maybe you didn't respond. Maybe it wasn't a good enough text message and she wanted something
a bit more interesting and funnier. Maybe you didn't even ask her a question. I have a lot of
clients. They send a text message to a woman. It might even be a good one. It might be one that
offers value that makes her smile. But some women get stuck in their head. They don't know what to write. And so some guys say,
oh, Connell, I got ghosted. Shelly from Hinge. Oh, she's so beautiful. Man, I was so excited
about her, but she ghosted me. And I'll say, okay, send me the screenshot. Because with all
my clients, I'm basically like IT support for their dating life. They can just shoot me a
screenshot, shoot me a text message
with a girl, and I get back to them. It's part of what my coaching does. So I'll look at the
screenshot. And his opener was, oh, hey, what's up? Happy Monday. Hope you're having a good Monday.
And then she doesn't respond to that. And he thinks he's getting ghosted just because a woman doesn't respond to,
hope you're having a great Monday. That's not a great text, but it's not awful.
The reason she didn't respond was probably because she didn't know what to say and because
his text message didn't invite a response. So instead of saying, that's not ghosting,
that's just a woman not responding
to one message. So what you want to do is follow what I call the three times rule.
Three times rule is you send that first message or you send a message, whether it's the first or
the 10th in a sequence. But let's say it's the first message that doesn't get a response.
You don't give up. You send a second message. You send a PS to the first message that doesn't get a response. You don't give up. You send a second message.
You send a PS to the first message. Or maybe you take a totally different tack. And instead of,
hey, hope you're having a good Monday, message number two is, oh, by the way, here's a picture
of my dog, Benny and I, swimming. And Benny's doing the doggy paddle. What do you think of his style?
And all of a sudden, a woman's going to be way more likely to respond to a video of your dog
swimming in a pool than she would of, hey, I hope you're having a good Monday.
And then if a woman doesn't respond to the second message, you can send a third one.
That's right.
You can send three.
And as long as your messages are offering value, they're giving her something.
Because the biggest mistake men make in texting, there's two big mistakes.
One is they give up too quickly.
They're not resilient.
In other words, two is their text message don't text messages don't offer
anything they're just asking boring lame questions how's your day how are you how was your monday how
was your weekend what are you up to instead of giving value in the form of a good question, a good question, not a boring question. Giving value in the form
of a joke or a dog video or a cat meme, or maybe a callback joke, something that two of you laughed
and joked about if you have spoken already. Anyway, so the big two mistakes men make with
texting is they don't offer value in their texts.
They take rather than give and also just not being persistent. And they look at one unanswered text
message and they see it as being ghosted. So let me give you an example of the three times rule.
In action, let me call up a text exchange that I found with my client, Nicholas. So I'm going to read to you. This is a
text. This is back in April. So it's been a little while. So my client, Nicholas, matched with a
woman named Emily. Really attractive. Brunette with a great smile. This is on Hinge. So Nicholas wrote, Nicholas matched with Emily.
Hi there, Emily. Did you take a field trip this weekend? I don't even know what that opener means,
but she must have put something on her profile about taking a field trip. No answer. On April 22nd, no answer. Okay. Three days later, April 25th.
Now, right then and there, most guys are going to say, oh, she didn't answer me. I'm ghosted.
April 25th, three days later, so, Emily, how does Hinge work? Do I silently wait for our wedding date?
And there's a little engagement ring emoji. No answer to that one. That was message number two.
That was a pretty good one. Now, notice how he's asking questions, but he's asking questions that are about something
from her profile.
In the first case, her field, the field trip question could have gotten an answer for whatever
reason it didn't.
Second question was just a kind of a fun, cheeky, hey, are we engaged now?
Cause we're on hinge type of question.
No answer, though. So Nicholas took one more shot. One day later, on the 26th, he sent her an audio message of about 30 seconds. Now, I can't play it for you because I don't have access to his hinge. But it was a 30-second audio. And on the audio,
he mentioned something about going to a kind of spa that she talks about on her profile.
And he also cracked some kind of joke. I don't know what it was. Bottom line, though,
he tried something different. The first two texts did not
get a response. So he said, hey, I'm going to be resilient. I'm going to try something different.
He sent an audio message. Now, it just so happens Nicholas has a nice voice. He's articulate.
And seeing his openers didn't get her to reply. But Emily got the audio message. She wrote back, hi, Nicholas!
Two exclamation points.
That message was pretty adorable, and it definitely worked.
She's actually giving him dating feedback.
She's actually saying you're being persistent and charming and it's working.
And then her next question was, what's a Korean spa?
Whatever that means.
I don't even know what a Korean spa is.
But his audio is about spas and a Korean spa.
And then they start texting.
And now he's got a good dating lead that's alive. That's alive. So that's the three
times rule in action. The first one or two don't work. Try a third one. Try something different.
Maybe send an audio message. Maybe crack a joke, a knock-knock joke, a dad joke. It doesn't really matter what you try.
The reason why this works, just to give you a little psychological window into women,
is that think about this from a woman's point of view. A woman, a desirable, intelligent, good catch of a woman.
She has literally hundreds, maybe thousands of likes on a given dating app.
Potentially thousands.
I've been on dates with women and I said, can I see your hinge real quick?
And like fairly attractive women, not models, just attractive. And I looked at their
like queue, and they were maxed out into the thousands. One woman had 4,000 likes.
Another woman I had a date with a while back, a couple years ago, had 9,999 likes on that dating app, which literally means that's the highest number it goes.
So bottom line is women have an insane abundance of men trying to date them.
So think about it from a woman's point of view. Is she going to answer the first text message
all the time? She's busy. She's got other guys trying to hit her up. And also, she's also trying
to weed you out and decide if you are, quote unquote, man enough, charming enough, cool enough
to get her interested in you. And so if you give up on the first message, you're basically saying, I'm not persistent enough to pursue you.
So we don't want to give up after one. At the same time, you don't want to give up,
I'm sorry, you don't want to like overdo it and send 10 messages. That's the other overcorrection
that you don't want to make because that says eager, needy, butthurt. So think about it like this. The three times rule
is that nice sweet spot. If you give up after only one text message, you're basically saying,
I'm not man enough to pursue you. You're saying I give up too soon. If you send 10 messages,
you come across as over eager, needy. That's bad. Just try hard. Because I really do believe in the
idea of dating abundance. If three or so messages does not get her interested in me, in you,
then I say, okay, let's move on. There's other fish in the sea. Totally fine. But I can,
as much as I can promise anything on a podcast, I can't promise anything
to you specifically, but this is pretty darn close to a promise. If you follow the three times rule,
you will absolutely highly likely get dates with women you otherwise never would have met
if you gave up after just the one text.
I know this for a fact from my dating life. I had multiple women. They didn't answer the first message, but the second or third message, especially because it offered value, made them
smile. They would say, oh, hey, Connell, sorry. I got so busy last week. I missed your messages.
How are you? Yeah, let's get that drink. That happened to me many times.
And I even had a couple women over the years.
One of them actually said, after my second or third message, she said, oh, hey, thanks
for following up.
I just wanted to see how persistent you are.
So women are noticing persistence.
They're noticing charm. So follow the three times rule.
You'll get ghosted less and you'll get a lot more dates. Okay. That's a wrap for today.
Thank you so much for listening. And by the way, if it's not clear from the ad spots on my pod, I'm available for free phone assessments,
consultations with any guy such as yourself who is looking potentially for a dating coach.
It's a free call. It's about 30 minutes. We hop on the phone and I help you get clear on what
dating problems you want to fix and what dating problems of yours I can fix.
So if you ever wanted to do a free consultation with me because you are interested in at least
finding out how dating coaching works, all you have to do is go to my website, datingtransformation.com.
Okay. End of plug. Thank you so much for listening. And remember, beautiful, attractive, amazing women out there,
they already like you.
They just have to meet the real, authentic you.
See you next time.
