Pavloving

The subtle art of conditioning someone — intentionally or not — to associate a specific action, word, or situation with a particular feeling, craving, or behavior. Inspired by the OG behaviorist Ivan Pavlov and his famously drooling dogs, Pavloving is basically psychological sorcery in everyday life.
“I gave him a glass of water every time we met — now the dude gets thirsty just seeing me. That’s premium Pavloving.”

“Text her ‘good morning’ daily and soon enough, she’ll wake up expecting it. Classic Pavloving.”

“He plays that one song every time we drive — now I’m Pavloved into missing him when it plays elsewhere. Ugh.”

The Bar where are the 7 and 6 rated girls go to get fucked up at 5 points in Columbia SC. When it’s 1:30 am and you haven’t picked up a girl yet, it’s Pav’s o’clock. Girls in there just want some, literally just stand on the dance floor for 10 min and some girl will start grinding on you
“Bro, it’s Pav’s o’clock

Pavlov’s Love

A half hearted expression of love. “I love you too”, only ever expressed as a knee jerk response to the prompt, “I love you”.
What do you mean, he says he love you, if he never says it first it doesn’t count, it’s only Pavlov’s Love”
