"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

G'day

Reading through many of the threads on this forum, I've noticed there are alot of advantages to being 'funny'. No, not wierd or strange, but having a good sense of humour and being fun to be around.

I'm a reasonably funny guy, I have my moments, but I'd like to really improve my sense of humour in general as a next step along the road of social success and ultimately self acceptance and confidence.

So, I ask you all this; what would you reccomend me doing to broaden my comical horizons. I'm thinking maybe watching some stuff from the comic legends on youtube or whatever, although the problem with that master plan is that I don't really know many :p Which comedians really get you going?

What other advice would you give to a guy in my position? Any and all advice is highly appreciated:D

Cheers

Adam
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I would recommend Steven Colbert or the Daily Show. Also reruns of Chappelles show. Martin Short is funny, as is Will Farrel. Can't go wrong with Leslie Nielson. Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Chris Farley.

Do not listen to anyone that thinks Zoolander is funny.

I think socially, wit is more important than just being funny. Being funny does help of course I'm not trying to bring that aspect down. But when you are witty you can QUICKLY build social proof, you can neg hit girls and not fear actually insulting them, and it shows the type of "intelligence" that girls want in a guy. (You know how girls always say they want an "intelligent" guy? Well, they aren't talking about a biomechanical physicist here)

With that being said I think Bob Saget is funny in standup and Dave Chappelle.

Tried not to mentioned the comedians SharinganUser said, all of his are hilarious.

watch the greats like martin lawerence, dave chappelle, chris tucker(early), russell peters,and others.

thats all the good but lets have your brain internalize humor.
read comedy writing secrets vol1 and 2. This will do wonders for your humor as you watch the greats and study humor in the books.
