How could it possibly work? How would they even know you were ignoring them? It sounds really like middle school or highschool. Only vain people would react if they knew they were being ignored.

Google says ignoring someone you like is stupid so I guess it means it is not very smart to do that and that if someone says to do that they must be pretty clueless.

This is a good point. If you're ignoring them how do they know it? LOL.

Doesn't work that well either.

Had someone try to do this with me, and I stopped trying with her. She was upset and said that works for all men. She was wrong.

I think our definition differs.

You're right. I think you have to get a friend to tell the person he or she is being ignored. Maybe pass a note.

Ignore those people who say that it sounds something like a scumbag PUA tactic.

Sure. Google "electromagnetic waves cause autism" and you can find the "truth" about that too.

Do you understand how Google works?

I'm only guessing that the articles mean two people who already know each other with one playing hard-to-get so that the other person notices or thinks he/she has some "perceived value".

As far as that advice in general (when a person is looking for someone to date), I think the meaning (rather than ignore the opposite sex) might be to go about your life with your mind open to opportunity.

Being "on the prowl" seems desperate and ignoring seems . . . uh . . . snobbish for lack of a better word.
