"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Okay so I realized my two big pitfalls in everyday conversation is humor and trying to tell a story.

I want to read humor books so I can learn the art of it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The magic bullet(by Love Systems) recommended these:


Humor Theory: Formula of Laughter by Igor Krichtafovitch
o The Naked Jape by Jimmy Carr
o True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor by David Mamet
o Three Uses of the Knife by David Mamet
o Comedian (movie) by Jerry Seinfeld
Make


Can you guys add anything else that would help me learn the basics of humor theory? I like Jerry seinfeld's type of humor(thats what I can relate myself to at least). I ran into this book on amazon.com,

Feedback?

Thanks.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
