I tend to be pretty sarcastic to people at times. I got to wondering today if sarcasm and C&F are one and the same or if sarcasm is a bad way to go.
"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.
Sarcasm...Good or Bad?

"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.

Scarcasm in a certain way can be good or bad, but you can't keep banking on it. Use it to test the waters some and then see what feels natural to you. Also gotta know the right time and person to be scarcastic with, some people might not pick up on it(making you look dumb ) others will get pissed off, and some will laugh with or at you.
I think we have conflicting definitions of sarcasm. I define it as an exaggerated remark made while acting totally serious.
For example in geometry the teacher was reluctant to give us the proofs that would be on the test so I said "Since your not going to tell us can i come up there and look?"
Another example same teacher I was late to class by a minute or so and everyone was saying your late your late. She told me to go get a slip but since i had a very good excuse for being late i said. "Mrs. XYZ, I dont think class can start withouth me."
Last example I have a spanish teacher with a very pronounced southern drawl. One day she was working on the TV stammered or somthing and said "I cant talk right today." "I countered from the back of the room with "Have you ever talked normal?"
I know these are all to teachers but these are the remarks that have gotten the biggest laughs and really stand out in my mind.
