"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
A girls asks you "are you attracted to me??"

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I think you've made an astute observation. The whole ****y and funny thing can often come off as incredibly lame, and fake. I know David DeAngelo pushes this C&F thing to the hilt, but can you honestly tell me you don't think he comes across as a douchebag?
C&F strikes me as something that can work if it is congruent with your personality, or as something that can improve your game if you are very young and/or socially retarded to begin with. Otherwise, it is far better to "be real" as you say. That is the better strategy.
I take the mindset that women like to be teased, and I like to tease them. Sometimes this teasing might take the form of what could be considered a ****y and/or funny remark. If it does, fine, if it doesn't, I could care less.
