as i type this i'm thinking that my title may look stuck up but that's not what i mean by it. I'm just wondering what the order of importance for all these tactics is. I kno that the most important thing is being confident and fun to be around, and i also kno that being funny is a good way to convey these attributes, but is it possible to be too funny? My thought is that eventually you can get to a point where its annoying, but in my opinion, i'd much rather be with someone who is always happy and laughing then someone who is ever down and can bring your spirits down. what do you guys think? I personally find humor in just about everything so i've begun working on not getting to the aforementioned annoying point.
"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.
am i too funny?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It only gets annoying if you tell the same joke over and over again, don't worry about being too funny.

depends, are you being goofy? thats bad, dont try too hard, if youre naturally just funny all the time then just do that, as long as this "too funny" doesnt come from you trying too hard
Careful with being too goofy or always being funny/witty. I read an article a long time back about dating men of different professions. One of the girls stated she dated or was married to a comedian, I can't remember which. Anywho, she said due to the fact he knew he was funny he always seemed to have a comment or a retort of some sort for everything they saw or heard.
Apparently it got on her nerves and she eventually dumped him for always trying to be funny.

As long as the humor is directed at raising your status instead of lowering it, its good. Itishe has a good point though, there are times to laugh and times to be serious. As with anything, take in moderation.

****y is more important than funny. Hence C+F, with C first. Also realize who girls tend to go out with: ****y jerks over funny nice guys.
I'm not saying being a jerk, but you better walk around like you're weighted down by your huge cojones.

bro nobody can be too funny, the problem is if ur making girls uncomfortable i doubt ur all that funny. just make sure u guys are having fun and laughing and i mean real laughs cuz some girls will sympathy/ courtasy laugh. But u know what i have found out that will make u much more funny and entertaining! i have figured out that if u find someone who looks up to you (pretty much an idiot that laughs at all ur jokes) u will get alot of practice telling jokes, and when u are with ur idiot protogue u will have extra confidence around girls and u will have an audience laughing at ur jokes. if he laughs shes guaranteed to laugh. hey man i hope that helps
I was in a similair situation for awhile.
You can be really funny all the time. That's fine. But confidence is the key. Now, my problem was that I was confident in that I know I'm a really funny, smart, cool guy. That's the kind of confidence that makes everyone want to be your friend. I have that down pat.
The difference is having that kind of confidence that makes a girl want to be with you. The things that make girls want to be your friend and the things that make them want to be your girlfriend aren't THAT different. You just have to have the confidence to approach a girl as a potential girlfriend rather than just a potential friend. Your conversation with her is centered around the fact that she's a girl, not just a person, but a woman.
Here's how I do things now. So say you meet a girl and you're doing the whole "funny guy" thing all night. If you thing she's digging you, pull her away from the group to have some time alone in there (hey, girl's name, come here. Let me ask you something). Make sure to get her number THAT NIGHT. Even if you're sure you'll see her around again, that doesn't matter. Get the number before either of you leaves (and don't wait till she's walking out the door. Get it when things are going well and you have her alone, assuming you're vibing with her).
Make sure that when you get the number she understands you want it because you will be calling in a few days to set up a date.
That's it. That's how the funny guy makes it work.

i highly doubt that anyone is "too funny" especially when dealing with girls. atleast not anyone besides a proffessional comidian.
but when dealing with girls, it's best not to focus just on being funny. you can be fun to be around and interesting without being freakin hilarious. if u act too funny all the time, girls will not take you seriously and thus make you their clown instead of their man.

"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.

um
Sometimes being titled as the "Class Clown" can make you seem soft, or not to be taken seriously. If you're overdoing it, you'll know. But untill it's really obvious don't worry about it.
