You know, recently I was thinking with myself:
"I've got all these cool lines, techniques, routines,etc and there's that guy over there that just says the normal stuff and he gets girls."

As Tyler says "It's being, not doing.". My confidence has grown up a lot lately, but still there's a missing part of the puzzle: how to be genuinely interesting without looking like you're trying to be interesting?

Let's start the discussion.

Build a new life, start to do interesting things, start to travel, meet new people, play rugby (give blood! hahaha, advertising from a rugger), okay you can try another sport...

Then man, your life will naturally be fun and awesome, as you.

Yup. What sounds cool? Then do it! It's as easy as that. Barefoot water skiing sounds nice? Give it a try.

Like Nike said... Just do it!

The Kino!


ESCALATE IT!

To be interesting its all about being yourself
and doing what you love and embracing what you've got
and truly loving who you are
EVERYONE has something to offer and everyone is unique in there own way
it might not always stand out at you right away but it is there
it just may take a little soul searching to find it

you DONT have to be the guy who travels everywhere,
or the guy who goes to tons of hip parties, or that guy who just seems
to have a story for EVERY occasion to be interesting

if you believe in yourself and love who you are
and find yourself interesting then
ultimately everything about you will be interesting to someone

remember "people will only think of you, what you allow them to"
if you think your worthless and you yourself are not an interesting person
then how can you expect someone else to?




btw if your trying too hard to be interesting
thats basically like trying too hard to be yourself
and if your trying too hard to be yourself
then you have no clue who YOU are
and if thats the case sorry to say
but you got loads of other problems rather than just being interesting my friend



well theres some of my jumbled thoughts on this topic lol

How to be interesting...

I could tell you a bunch of pretty crap that sounds real nice but that really wont help you.

Interesting is not being like an "interesting book" or an "interesting movie". I'm not an object.

An aspect of being interesting is standing out in a crowd.

But bottom line, being interesting is making people think that you've done/seen/know a lot of cool "interesting" stuff, and at the end they'll want more.

Now, this is what I think you need to do.

Number One; you gotta do (learn) interesting things in order to be interesting.

Number Two; Interesting is not about what you say but how you say it.... besides you dont want to be try-hard. Watch Mystery talk, he knows hot to do it.

And last but not least, develop a sense of "everything that I do is the coolest thing ever". Thats the best way of a) be a douche, and b) being a naturally cool guy.

I oversimplified some things here... if you got an specific question... well ask..

I'm all for this "believe in yourself" stuff but without any substance, what do you have to believe in? Believing that you're interesting without any base would make you a liar . . .to yourself.

You don't go out and travel everywhere and go to hip parties in order to become interesting. You do all these things because it's FUN. Fun, fun, fun.

Especially for you younger guys, stop the monkey act. Let go of the notion that you need to do everything and change your life around in order to get girls interested in you. Just live. Coming back from school everyday and working out your thumbs on the latest xbox game and then "believing in your self" is just futile.

Take the road less traveled. (Sorry about the cliche' but it applies)

When you get back to school, talk to your classmates about what they did over the summer. Then think about it. Does ANYBODY sound exciting to you? The average kid "hangs out" all summer . . . no wonder the "go-to" pick up line coming out of most posters around here is, "Hey _____, wanna hang out?"

No . . . "hanging out" isn't exciting. It's in fact nothing. "Hanging out" is the VOID of doing something even remotely fun and exciting. In fact, "interesting" itself is a terrible way to describe anything fun and exciting. What exactly is "interesting"? . . . This is the word you blurt out after somebody tells you that he "hung out" all summer. You hear the guy/girl go, "blah, blah, blah", and when he/she's done and you wake up from boredom, you go, "That sounds interesting."

Guys, there is SOOOO much fun and excitement out there. You have the power to do ANYTHING you want to do. I met a girl in Nah Trang 2 summers ago who just packed up, bought a plane ticket, and went door to door at a seaside area and asked for jobs. She was earning her scuba instructor license, earning some money, and meeting people from all over the World. . . . Interesting? No, this is F'ing cool as hell.

Met a pair of Aussies there who are traveling the World, (for free with endorsements from several companies). They run a website with updates and I still get their newsletters. . . Interesting?

A "natural" buddy of mine did similar things throughout high school and college and spent the last three years stationed out of Hong Kong while traveling the World (for work and fun) He'll probably be the CEO of his company within a year or two.

Do you think any of these people need to "remind" themselves that they are interesting? It just perplexes me to see to see young, able, smart kids who just "hang out" all their lives. Go ahead practice your body language and your smart one liners and confident smile. . . but doing this from the couch of your room all your life is like an athlete gearing up for the Olympics with a Nintendo.

For me, interesting is an act of manipulation. I can make almost anything sound interesting just talking in a certain way. Its a little trap to make people fall on my ground, so I can direct the conversation.

When guys post here how to be interesting, they talk about this conversational aspect of interesting, mainly because they belive their lifes are not interesting.

I had an un-interesting day today, nothing worth of being told happened today but I had tons of fun, because its my fucking life and I make of it whatever I want to.

You dont need to "do" anything to appear as an interesting guy. You just need to say what people wants to hear and they'll love you.

That about the monkey act kasabi wrote about is a huge thing. When you get a weird haircut to get girls, they can see right tru that crap- Thats try-hard. When I told you guys go do something interesting I wrote that because I think that you need to expand your horizons. Being James Bond for an evening doesnt makes you the 007, but it certainly makes you feel better.

Beliving in yourself is nothing compared to have a mind without barriers. if you think that you are not interesting, sitting in front of the computer, thats sad. If you want to do cool stuff just go out and do it. If you want to do cool stuff to get girls go fucking grow up.

You cant be interesting, you only sound interesting, but thats just words. If you want to have an interesting life and you dont, thats like being stuck in a boring movie forever.

If you want to be in an interesting film, you just need to be the director, writer, and producer of the movie of your life. This whole pick up thing is just a tool to get there.

Trying2bpua, I dont really know what was your original idea here, you want to know how to be interesting because you cant get girls? or you are paraphrasing Tyler Durden?

If you want to be interesting watch the movie Big Fish.

If you wanna be interesting try Kino escalation.
