"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
