Let's get into some technical talk today.
I'll make a statement about something that you've heard of, but not in a way you've ever heard.
Adding cocky-funny lines to your game will TRANSFORM it BEYOND RECOGNITION.
IT IS A MUST, for anyone wanting to be incredible in field.
Usually, most guys know how to show intent in only 1 way: complimenting a girl until it goes sour.
There's nothing wrong with complimenting a girl. It's just very easy to overdo. When overdone, it makes you look easy. No win in it for her.
However, if we add cocky-funny to the repertoire, we open up a brand-new world of possibilities.
Here's what cocky-funny does.
1) it's showing intent without supplicating
2) great for using in high-pressure situations
3) automatically sets frames that implicate you as the buyer and her as the seller
Let's riff on the first reason. Complimenting is a very important part of the process of building an interaction. When you compliment the girl you're talking to, you're praising her for exhibiting qualities you like, not simply her beauty, but her intelligence, her wit, her kindness, her health-consciousness, etc. The only thing is, there is a right way to compliment, and a right time to compliment. Doing compliments wrong and/or at the wrong time can destroy what you've built moments before.
It's very easy to reach the point where complimenting feels like supplicating, especially if your compliments center around beauty only. If you wind up at the point where you've given too much undeserved praise, she will reach her "validation quota". Her "validation quota" is the point in the interaction where she's received enough outward validation to feel like a situation is a win, without her taking additional risk to gain it. Girls will take as much validation as they can, for the least amount of risk possible. Talking to a random stranger is already risky, so girls double down on this when in cold approach settings. She's not going to overextend herself and flirt with the idea of losing social favor to win over "some guy she doesn't even know".
This is exactly why compliments must be unique and specific, even when applied to beauty. Ideally, you'll have more compliments for her showing you the sides of her that you want to see, than her looks. Also, they must be paired with teases for maximum effect, to show that you're evaluating her fully, seeing both the favorable and unfavorable traits she has.
Going back to cocky-funny, this style of flirt is the ONLY way you can show "intent/premise" minus any supplication, other than using subcommunications. The problem with subcommunications is that they are subject to interpretation, and might not be enough to get the point across outside of the early stages of the set. As the set goes on, you need something STRONGER to communicate, and cocky-funny does exactly this.
The second point is related to the first, in that, when you're in a situation in which the girl can end up risking social graces to talk to you as a complete stranger, you do NOT want to put additional pressure on her by complimenting her, especially early on. In these types of situations, heavily complimenting her beauty can lead to her feeling singled out and loose (anti-slut defense). If she's in a high-pressure situation where she can be judged and ostracized from her social group by entertaining compliments from you, she is even more likely than normal to reject the interaction as a default. It's too much to bear, especially for a strange man she has no social ties to. The solution is this: leave the intimate comments to isolation where it's just you and her, even if all you do is turn her away from her group, and use cocky-funny to show intent without putting pressure on her. Cocky-funny material puts pressure on YOU INSTEAD of the girl, so it's great to use when her other friends are around because you get your point across with putting her on the spot.
The last reason we'll speak about has to do with framing. For those who don't know OR have forgotten: framing is the implied underlying meaning of the interaction and everything that is said and done within it. Most interactions carry the frame of "boy trying as hard as possible to win over girl of his dreams", and everything that is said or done by both parties feeds into this palpable, underlying idea. The question becomes, how can we set and maintain an underlying meaning that aids us in getting the results we want? Cocky-funny is sent from heaven, in this regard. The vast majority of cocky-funny lines come built in with various meanings such as 1) she's trying hard to impress you, 2) she's trying hard to show you she's the perfect girl for you, 3) she's horny and desperate to sleep with you ASAP, 4) she's trying to lock you down immediately because you're the man of her dreams, and so on. With the lines you use, you're presenting them in a humorous, playful way while adhering presumptuously to that. Here's some examples to get you thinking in the right direction.
List of Examples:
She asks you where you're from: "You promise you're not gonna pop up unannounced at my doorstep, right? I get that you're excited, but being normal is best here..."
She asks you where you work: "You promise you're not gonna show up to my job pretending to be my wife, right? Enthusiasm is good and all, but no need to rush..."
She asks you what you do for fun: "Look, I don't mind you inviting yourself to spend time with me...I like assertive girls...but you can at least ask me sweetly..."Shaka, can I hang out with you?"
If you look at these examples, you'll see that the presumption is that she is selling herself to me in some way, and I am the one making the buyer's decision on whether I want her or not. You want to extend this frame and these types of frames throughout your interaction. Everything you and her do and say means this, everything that happens means that.
In closing, it's important to point out that cocky-funny can be used through an entire set, from start to finish, BUT it's best used more sparingly as time goes on. You can pour it on relatively thick in the beginning (it's strong material so no need to overdo it), and you just want to maintain that frame by doing a little bit every once in a while thereafter.
Go out and try these lines that I've supplied; better yet, do some homework to come up with your own and go experiment with them. You'll be glad you did.
