[DJ4Life]

"If I was any better, there would be two of me"

 

[d2j]

if you dont think its important then obviously you dont get it

dont ask them how they are thats the most boring thing you could ever say EVERYONE says that

thats the kind of thing you say to your mates

Come on dudes, she is just asking "HOW YOU ARE". You reply by saying "im always good thanks, how are you feeling?". You dont gotta come out with some c+f reply or something. You guys are taking it too far. GEEZ, get some conversational skills will ya!

Why would you need a c&f response to this?

 

[doctorj]

"Never better"

If it is an normal question, RESPOND WITH AN NORMAL ANSWER. I damn near imagine myself cringing and continuously face palming myself upon the thought of a girl saying in a normal tone: "How are you" and some dude responding "in sex? great". Yes, it is funny, but it depends on much on HOW she asks you. This has the potential to fail B.I.G time! That would probably be fine if she was asking you in an flirty manner or whatever, but I prefer the Conan o brien response.

The most important thing is not WHAT YOU SAY, but HOW YOU SAY IT. Or, people don't remember what you said, but how you made them feel. So hang around with DJ's, that stuff will slowly get into your head, the next thing you know it, you will naturally be saying neat stuff... Or if you don't know any, you have to develop yourself and these things will come naturally, but I think it's gonna be harder alone, when you see others doing it, you get an good idea of how to act... PS: The more you socialize, the easier and more natural these things are!! Good luck, good thread BTW.

I always say slowly with a dead pan face "Tremendous", really emphasizing the word but not smiling at all.

I also like that previous poster's suggestion of "Outstanding" as well. I think if you can create a dichotomy between the power of the word you use, but having a serious expression when saying it, without any fake emotion in it, it lights up the chick's broca's region and triggers fascination in her.

It also creates the impression that high states of well-being are pretty much normal for you, and no big deal.

I don't think that manic happiness impresses potential pick ups, unless everyone is feeling the same way and its kind of like a group vibe that everyone partakes of. But on the other hand I don't think a standard response like "not bad" or "pretty good" does anything to ramp up her attraction response either.

Perhaps the word "Superb" would work as well, the key is to say it slowly with a low, smooth voice, while making intense, smouldering eye contact with her.
