"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I think forcing myself to smile and thereby generally looking at things in a different light helps me. But yeah, really, really good question.

Stand-up comedy was one of many career choices I almost made. A lot of people still ask me why I never pursued my passion for comedy. Maybe I will. Later in life. I want to go to college first. Get a degree in something, before I make such a risky career move.

Like Jim Carrey, and every other known comedian, I wanted to be the funniest guy alive.

Here are some tricks to improve your humor:

1) Watch some stand-up comedy. Comedy Central plays atleast 6 hours of stand-up comedy per day. BET has some stand-up comedy on around 11PM. There are tons of stand-up comedy DVDs you can buy (this way you can watch it over and over again). Pay attention to the different styles. Pay attention to what makes the crowd pop (laugh).

And you don't have to limit yourself to stand-up comedy. There are some great cartoons out there if you're still a saturday morning type of guy (example's: King of the Hill, Family Guy). Comedy TV show's (example: Daily Show), Movies (anything Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler), Music (Eric Schwartz), Websites, Blogs, etc.

2) Sarcasm is your friend. Sarcasm is the easiest way to make a crowd laugh. Sarcasm also shows that you are intelligent and/or witty.

3) Pay attention to one-liners. They're quick, but they work. And people always remember the best one-liners.

4) Whatever comedy you prefer to use, make sure it matches your personality. There's nothing more annoying than a guy who knows nothing about politics trying to pull off political humor.

5) Make it come natural to you. No one wants to hear something that sounds pre-rehearsed (unless you got a group of people that is already telling pre-rehearsed jokes) It's got to sound like you just made it up off the top of your head.

6) Never laugh at your own jokes. Have you ever seen a comedian laugh at his own jokes? I have. When a comedian laughs at his own jokes, you can tell that he didn't write it. Amongst other things that can get you a reputation of ... Cheesy. Which isn't exactly sexy or admireable.
 

"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.

go out and buy every single South Park, Family Guy DVDs and watch them over and over again

and then tune in to MTV and watch the Andy Milonakis

check out Eric Cartman, the dude's an A$$ and thats one of the secrets of being "****y and funny"

i found this easy to learn and fits best with chicks

you out on a date and make fun of stuff

i watched Seinfeld for a long time and i am sure it rubbed off

before that my humour was staright sarcasm and sharp wit

now i am more light hearted and just point out funny observations when i am with the ladies

You should also watch clips of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog from the Conan O'Brien show. Very funny and total ****y Comedy.

Depending on your availability, you may look into taking a class on improvisational theater. They have them at community colleges and at ComedySportz, a chain of improv comedy clubs.

One thing with improv is that the way it's set up, like the games they play, you don't necessarily have to be a creative/funny person, it helps if you are, but the environment makes it easier to be entertaining. And so when you're out with a girl, go to places that have fun things to look at or play with, and it will be very easy to be fun and entertaining.

One other piece of wisdom that comes to mind is from George Carlin. I heard an interview of him and he said that best comedians aren't the funniest or most creative people in the world, they're just people who have their unique way of seeing the world and know how to communicate it to others.
