"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 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.
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.

but i've found out i'm the master of comedy.....10 minute slater

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.

"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.
(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

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

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.
