In my experience it has been very effective although so far its a small sample size. I mainly do daygame or social circle and on uni/college girls.

What I found interesting was that so many girls just couldnt resist "mansplaining" (for lack of a better word, inaccurate but describes what I mean well) to me things.

Like for example how scientifically grapefruit worked. She was talking about how you can use it as a weapon against someone you dislike on birth control; it nullifies the hormones yada yada. Later on she talked about how her infertile friend had her ovaries stuck or something and was getting surgery so she can have children. I joked that you should give her grapefruit to increase the chances.

I dont know for sure but had I looked/acted "smart" she should realise it was obviously a joke. But she laughed and was engaged in how funny I was mistaken- it just affects the birth control hormones, its not like a magic pregnancy pill! (I rolled with it.)

She was also eager to explain("mansplain") to me how some animals are factory farmed, how farming works, what she did in her major etc.

Also- since my social skills arent up to par yet, often there are real awkward silences in conversations(happened throughout my life). With the dumb look/act, this is barely a problem at all. I just make sure to have strong body language, and just say nothing. Often times she will say nothing too, it still is a bit awkward but I dont think it looked badly on me as its "congruent" that obviously not being smart, why would I keep coming up with conversation.

Yes, I've done it, when a girl asked me if I knew what "negging" and "pua" was.

Let them talk, they love hearing themselves talk, game accordingly.

Honestly, I only do this if she's hot, if she isn't and dragging on about this crap I'll politely excuse myself.

Avoid man-splaining
Avoid talking about yourself
Focus on getting her to talk, but about things you want to hear about.

A convo about her friend's ovaries is not a conversation a player has with a girl he hasn't fucked.

Well maybe if you're social skills aren't up to par it works.

I play aloof at times, but never truly "dumb"

Not me who mansplained/talked about myself. It was the girl doing it, I just didnt have another term in mind to accurately describe it.

Also this was social circle and in a group of 4. I had no control over the conversation as I only knew one guy.

Genuine curiosity, but this does kind of fly in the face of common game tropes like "lead the conversation" and whatnot. I personally hate talking about myself (and talking in general), so I'd love to hear you elaborate a bit.

No, you chose not to take control of the conversation because you wanted to keep the peace.

Also, You might not know how, and you might not have much to say.

On average a man weighs 40-50 pounds more than a woman, and has 60% more body strength. She's not a real threat to you, so cutting off her useless topic of conversation is what you must do.

The failure here is your game. If it's a new group that you're approaching, you HAVE to take charge. If it's an old group where you already have a role you have to get out of that position.

You can no longer be "nice" and play a supporting role in your own life. You are the star. She is the supporting actress. The other guys are either extras or antagonists.

Your concept of game needs to change.

As Pac said, all eyes on me

Situational stupid can help. Women love thinking that they're the smartest people in the room. Let them explain shit to you. Do what you need to do (other than being a chump) to bait the trap, and smash puss.

No.

Reason: intelligence is part of sexual dimorphism. That is, men are more intelligent than women, in the same way they are taller and more muscular than women. All of the traits of sexual dimorphism are maintained by sexual selection.

Therefore, under normal circumstances a girl should feel more attracted the more intelligent the man is (all else being equal). However, intelligence is typically demonstrated in a 'non falsifiable' manner. So saying "I have an IQ of 130" is not sexually attractive, but in-context wisdom is, humour is (humour is a speed sensitive cognitive process designed to display brain health, which is why men are funny and women giggle), and any results of intelligence are (reputation, wealth, using it for social dominance etc).

TL;DR: You don't want her to laugh at you because you're stupid, but because of you because you're intelligent.
