Ok, we've established that humor is the draw. What do I do about not having a mainstream sense of humor?
Example: Early twenties, beautiful, dirty blonde hair, and a body like hot chocolate (Goodness, not color) at just the right temperature. Comes through my line. Says Hi. I respond in kind. She says "How's it going?"
I figure I'll be funny. "Actually, I'm asleep. What you see before you is the result of a localized temporal dislocation of...oh, about six hours, give or take a few."
Now, I thought that was pretty damn funny. Even better, I managed to pull it off with a straight face, a rarity, as Azzy can tell you.
Dead silence. Until my next customer. |

Well, don't sink to the level that I know you're secretly contemplating. You're too good a guy to do that to yourself.
What I think is ironic is that people become a jerk in order to have "confidence"...but if you don't have confidence in the first place, then how can you possibly have the nerve to go up to someone and be a jerk. It's a catch-22.
And Therin, while I find that sort of humor funny, it's most likely too intellectual for most to understand, so it comes off as awkward and "weird" to them. Just stick with easy stuff, otherwise you could potentially intimidate the one that you are trying to make laugh with the joke. |

Uhhhh yeah Lews.....No wonder (no offense or anything), but if a tall blond chick approached you like that I'm sure she wouldn't find that funny or understand it. My suggest for a response, "I'm good and you?" or something to that affect. Try not to hurt yourself while making jokes. |

But shyness isn't some isolated condition. Shyness usually comes from a lack of confidence. Shyness is different than quietness. People who are shy are just as loud and energetic as anyone with people that they feel comfortable with. It's their lack of self-assurance that makes them shy. Quite people, however, are just quite by nature, not because they lack assurance, but because they just don't like to talk too much. In some ways it takes more self-assurance to be quite than loud. Loudness is often just as much of a cover-up for lack of confidence as shyness.
So, really, if you're shy, it's not yourself that you're changing, it's just making yourself comfortable with being you when people you don't know are around.

But in sales, your selling a product, when dealing with women, your selling yourself, and you want to be bought, you want to be considered worth something. |
But this ain't sales my man. The point isn't to try and hit up as many prospective mates as possible in a given amount of time. The point is to find that one special someone that makes you feel better than you are, that makes you feel safe and whole. If you're spending all your time chasing after every skirt you see then that certain someone could just walk on by without you. You're not 'selling' yourself, you're offering yourself up for either acceptance or rejection. Relationships start with acceptance of each other. They end with rejection. Simple as that. And if what you showed the object of your affection was false, wasn't true to yourself, chances are the relationship ain't gonna work out in any way. The real you is bound to come ou sooner or later and then the jig is up. Then you can try to get them to accept the real you or just walk away. So why not start there and save some time?
Either way, the point is still the same: Be yourself, accept yourself, be confident in yourself. Maybe you won't get as many girl's phone numbers, but the ones that you do get will be keepers.

Dang. Go AZ.
However, as Skylah's big bro you'll have to complete a vigorous screening process before you shall be accepted as Skylah-Worthy.
Plus you'll have to beat Aiman in single combat.
