    What do you think of negging?

    Negging is a rhetorical strategy whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise insulting remark to another person in order to undermine their confidence in a way that gains approval.[1] The term was coined and prescribed by the pickup artist community.[2] The term has been popularized in social media[3] and mainstream media.[4][5][6] The opposite of pozzing, whereby one pays a person a compliment in order to gain their affection.[4]

    Do you think it's a succesful way to get a partner to be with you?

    Maybe it would work on a girl with mental issues.

    I like these forums. I can always learn new nonsensical words which I will never use because no-one talks about trash like this in real life.

    You undermine their confidence so they think they can't do better than you...

    if you want to find partners with low self-esteem and who are ultimately not that happy to be with you, then sure, seems like a good tactic

    I have seen this technique used to great effect on people with low self-esteem. Unfortunately it does work, but only on the right kind of person.

    Negging is what socially awkward people do to make themselves feel better about themselves.
    Internet forums are churning out more and more socially awkwardly people everyday. It is quite a fascinating phenomenon actually.

    It works on here. Just look at the herd mentality that happens around this place.

    Psychologically, people are more likely to fall deeper in love with you if they hate you first.

    Lots of emotions n stuff. It works, but its mean.

    I wouldn't call people lonely and shallow enough to take "dating advice" from these degenerates much of a following.

    pozzing/neggars have a very different meaning here....

    There's lots of people in verbally abusive relationships, so it obviously works some of the time.

    I don't think it'd be a healthy position to start a relationship from and not something I'd want to engage in or be associated with.

    I'm sure it's effective for some subset of damaged women.

    What's pretty irritating is RedPill idiots that interpret this as a representative sample of women on the whole.

    Is that a thing? Does it actually work on normally functioning adults?
