"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.

Most of the posts I read here basically say that humor is a natural by-product of confidence. I don't think that's the case - seems to be that confidence in conversation is knowing that you are funny. Does anyone have a good guide on actually becoming humorous? Maybe something about voice inflection, timing, etc.
Yes, I think humor for some people comes naturally. But I'm just so detached from observing the world from a funny perspective. A good deal of it may have to do with too much self-consciousness, but again, I think that's only part of it.
Oh, and I've realized that this is by far the most important part of game.. and also my weakest.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

No answers here. I'm funny only when I'm not trying to be. Otherwise I stay smart and pretty quiet, and play the straight man for my funny friends.

I generally say things that amuse me, it's pretty much natural. Being funny isn't something you can fake. Maybe watch quality stand-up, it could help

Well the first part is to stop being self-conscious. If you're self-conscious, you'll just start worrying if everything you say will be funny...and in result...you won't be funny.

Theres a really good article or two in the DJ bible, you should give them a read.

Basically though just start watching a lot of programmes that you find funny, it should wear off on you.

Also helps to talk about stuff that you actually find funny, rather than just saying something for the laugh.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
