(An ongoing series on AF: "Twelve common things guys do to screw up with girls")
Before getting back to the series, I want to do another supplemental on teasing.
We learned teasing and being a smart-ass is a more effective way to generate attraction than being a perfect gentleman. This supplement will give a few suggestions on several types of teasing to add to your repetoire...
Strategy #1 - Disagreeing with her
Responding to something she said...
You: Are you sure about that? (with skeptical tone)
You: Are you serious?
You: I'm not sure about that!
You: I don't believe that!
You: Whatever!
Strategy #2 - Spite her
Here, you answer NO or MAYBE to something she said, especially if she's expecting you to say YES...
Her: Isn't my cat cute?
You: No!
Her: Are you going to tell me how old you are?
You: Maybe later
Her: Do you think it's OK for a girl to smoke? (she's a smoker)
You: No way.
Strategy #3 - Conditional agreement
Here, you say YES, but you apply conditions...
Her: Are you going to Facebook me?
You: Only if you're nice
Her: Are you going to get me something on your trip?
You: Only if you behave yourself.
Strategy #4 - Make fun of her
[She carries a large purse]
You: So why does a small person like you carry such a large purse?
[Her shirt is unusual, ugly, weird, etc]
You: That is a...um...very interesting shirt.
Her: You like it?
You: Not really.
Her: I like to be on top of things
You: That sounds perverted!
Strategy #5: Answering a question with a question
Here, you deflect her question by asking a question of your own.
Her: Where do you live?
You: Why? You gonna come over or something?
Her: What is your [ethnicity, age, job, etc]
You: Why do you wanna know?
Strategy #6: Stereotyping
Stereotyping is a form of extremist and exaggerated thinking that guys commonly do that girls don't.
Her: I'm from San Francisco
You: I heard only homeless and gays live there.
Her: Actually, I don't like dancing
You: What? All Korean people love to dance!
Her: When I worked at The Gap, I dated a coworker
You: I didn’t know straight guys working there!
=============================
I know I've already said this, but it's worth repeating. Go watch the SimplePickup videos on YouTube if you want to see teasing in action.
Lately, teasing is meant to be fun, not to make someone feel rotten or agitated or to prove that you are better at trash-talking. So avoid the following subjects:
- Her weight
- Her age (if she is in her 20s)
- Religion
- Politics
- Racism (unless it's positive such as "hey, all Chinese people are good at math!")
- Something cruel
- Grotesquely sexual, profane or obscene
- Physical imperfections and handicaps (her height is OK, unless it’s extreme at either end)
