"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I think some of these are fairly natural talents, I would be weary of you going away and learning a load of jokes lol..

Personally I think that taking a few light hearted shots at a girl can be deemed as funny. However you gotta make it funny or it could be perceived as an insult lol Be a bit cheeky and funny and it should go down well.

See I am fairly witty on the fly, which is quite a good thing I guess because I know I can get people laughing, especially in my friends group.

I find it a little harder when talking to a women though. I guess if I can do it with my friends, I should be able to do it with women.

Being funny has to do with yourself and being confident and comfortable in you skin and being able to see the humour in stuff. No body taught Jim Carry to be funnny Its somthing he leaned or realized in hiself the ability to see the humour, there can be humour in just about evrything In life and you just need to reaslze it. Humour comse from within just find youself first, don't try too hard, or you'll stick badly, practice humour with guys first If your more comfortable wit them, girls will laugh at most things guys do, and if they like you even more. The only thing they migh not laugh at is some obscene jokes guys are accustomed to, depending on the chick.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Example: I just used this today on text message with a girl whos been injured this week:

(Me) - You still hurting?
(Her) - Im getting better about to get in the shower good timing lol thx

(Me) - Now don't go fantasizing about me while in the shower I don't want you collapsing and hurting yourself again!!! hahahaha
(Her) - How did you guess?
(Me) - Im good like that

~The End~

I like to use inuendo but not overdo it. Usually I'm more subtle than this.

When you are confident enough in yourself, you can easily be ****y and confident. The funny part should be something that comes naturally as a carefree guy, who doesn't care what people think. So you're basically proud of who you are and don't give a damn about anyone else. The C+F should come naturally.

phenom gave a pretty good example. You can judge if it comes off as an insult or a joke by their reaction. If they play along with it, then it's going well. If they completely shut you down, then you're doing wrong and either your tone is wrong or you just aren't pulling it off very well.

Man, I hate that sh!t too. I guess it happens to the best of us though. When your face-to-face with an HB sometimes it's hard to find that quick, funny response and I just want to beat my head against the wall when 10 minutes later something truely magnificent comes to mind. I guess I'm a perfectionist when it comes to that sort of thing.:D

Thats the rule. When you wanna be funny, you need to think fast, analize the situation and DO or SAY something that turns that situation into something funny. Not to mention that you should not think about what others thinks or if they're gonna like it or not.

About being ****y, is more about feeling comfortable with yourself, and also not caring what others think of you. But becareful with that.
