"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.

Ok, I am not smooth. I know this. I am smart and articulate, but I have the hardest time trying to come up with neg-hits on the fly. I don't think my brain works like that.

Is there anything to compensate for that? Try and push another area or something to work on being witty?
 

"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.

hmm..

Well im actually trying to work on this myself also. Theres no one thing you can do in particular that you can do to increase the trait your looking for. There are a few things however which I think canhelp you out. Number one, try to hangout with people who are witty and whose sense of humor you like. Secondly work on your self confidence, when you are sure of urself then it becomes easier to come out of ur shell and say what you want to. Watch alot of comedy channel. Watch family guy and simpsons and the daily show and comedy standups and try to pick the same topic there joking about and making a ur own joke. keep trying unitl one day you just are amazed at the joke you made and couldnt believe you made it. But when your with ppl though, dont try too hard, comedy cant be forced when its in a free flowing convo.
