"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.

Being funny

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Posting a question in the Tips forum isn't a good start. Kicking this to Discussion.

Sure, but its pretty hard to be funny if you're not confident talking to people and with yourself- how are you doing with that?

Are there any specific books or movies or shows any of you would recomend to learn how to be funny? Not movies or books that make me laugh, but those that a little deeper and shows to create humor.

Ah, the best medicine that is laughter.


We can't just snap our fingers, tell you to study a specific book or movie and then you'll be instantly funny.

For now, just steal other comedians jokes. Tell each anecdote as though it actually happened to you. It makes things more believable and when the punch line hits them, they're totally stunned.

If you want to be really funny, it calls for a certain perception of the world. You have to be able to twist the obvious and make a play on words.

Remember the words of Steve Martin:
A comic says funny things. A comedian says things funny.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
