I've heard of a technique, used by an author who calls himself “The Pickup Artist”? He talks about a technique psychologically called “Negging” have you heard of it?

I have never heard of negging. According to the author known as “The Pickup Artist,” the technique involves complimenting a person while simultaneously putting them down in order to seem uninterested or to make them chase after you. This method is purported to make the other person feel special even though the author downplays themselves in order to come across as "unattainable". This supposedly encourages other people to try harder to get the attention of the person who was negged. It is considered an Advanced Dating Technique but I have yet to experience it in real life.
