"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.

I've been tryin to befriend a girl and when I talk to her, I try to be myself. Im one of those guys who doesn't take a lot seriously and just jokes around a lot. So when I say some wise-ass remark or joke, she just doesn't get it. Like she either doesn't say anything, or just says "Oh yeah" and brushes it off. Now, I dunno what to do because thats who I am. I am the sarcastic guy who just tries to lighten the mood. Anyone else had this type of problem before. I mean, I am not going to change or anything. I was just wondering other people's view point on sarcastic people.
 

"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.

I find that even my corny comments will get a laugh out of a girl who's interested. Maybe she senses that you're "trying" to entertain her and she isn't really receptive because of her interest level. I also know that some people have a different kind of humor they relate to. Me and my friends laugh and make fun of "really" stupid things, and some people just don't get it. Me and my friends can make each other laugh to the point of exhaustion......some people understand and some don't.

Maybe she's just stupid and sarcasm evades her... I've found some girls just don't get anything and then beg you to explain it to them... which of course totally ruins the joke.

In which case I totally ditch them because it's so hard to build any rapport with someone you can't communicate with.

Girls like that are morons. Tell the jokes if it makes you happy. If she "doesn't get it"...who cares?
 

"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.

Try digging in her life stories. Ask her about feelings of certain things. Have a deep conversation with her. Make jokes when the time is right, or sometimes when she asks about yourself. You don't want to tell her your life stories, just make a joke, be mysterious and make her laugh at the same time.


Joking around all the time will make you look immature.

Ditto, even if she is a bit thick, generally you don't want to joke around too much, this is definately spanner territory.

And, as you are a lonely guy, you are clinging to a dimwitt because you have oneitis.

You can't change her, but you can change yourself.

1. Be yourself. YES, but always remember that the underlying purpose of your interaction with a woman is to CREATE ATTRACTION. Do you know how to create attraction while being yourself? Just being yourself usually doesn't work.

2. "wise-ass" jokes aren't funny.

she isn't trusting

she probably does not trust you much.
when a girl likes you, she laughs at ANYTHING that can be laughed at, even if it's haha isn't that dog funny? etc.

Don't try to hard to be funny, take it slowly, if she seems to somewhat like you, if not give up after a while and move on. why waste valuable time when you can be talking to someone of your interest level.

If they don't laugh... then why do you want to be with them?
So they can stare at you and say:
Huh? What do you mean? I don't get it.

Like Joe Pesci says in the movie Casino:

Fu*k 'em

am I funny like a clown? Do I amuse you? Funny how?

Listen man,

Dump this hizzoe.

I have dated so many women and all of them laugh at dumb sh*t.
If a girl likes you she will laugh at anything.
Why wrestle with the wind? Why try to grasp
an oiled rod?
Seems to me like you enjoy this.
I am like that in some ways, I enjoy a big challenge but it gets to a point where enough is enough.
