A friend of mine wrote an excellent post on how to be flirting master and he mentioned utilizing “obvious lies”, which really caught my eye. Girls love exaggerations—this is a fact. When done well and not ridiculously, your girl won’t stop having fun.

I exaggerate all the time–more than I should sometimes. Exaggerations are cool because it allows you to break out of reality for a little bit. They’re (usually) funny and girls LOVE to laugh hysterically. It also shows that you like to have fun and aren’t always stern and serious as a lot of guys these days. The best part is that they’re obviously lies and she understands that as well which opens up a ton of potential for back and forths.

Being random is NOT the same as exaggerating.

Many people think that in order for you to exaggerate your comments, you have to say random things. Like if you guys are talking about a TV show you two like, saying something like “Pies are Funtastic” will destroy everything between you two like the fist of an angry God. She’s going to wonder why you even said something like that. Random isn’t appropriate all the time. You don’t want to leave girls puzzled.

The kinds of comments to exaggerate.

Even though you can almost exaggerate anything, there are a few things that work extremely well. When you’re talking about the temperature, or anything that has to do with numbers, it’s usually a good time to throw it in there. Other things I’d recommend are:

• Emotions (“I’m so happy I’m about to barf rainbows!“)
• An opinion (“That sandwich was so good I ate 12 of them and the kitchen it was made in.“)
• Describing size (“That girl’s ass is a fucking continent.” Don’t say this to a girl, though.)

Be Careful though..

If you exaggerate too much, or too stupidly, she’s just gonna think that you have nothing else to offer. It’s something that should be moderated. You shouldn’t also make them inane either. You wan’t to exaggerate and make sense doing so (does that make sense?).

What’s so great about it? Why not just keep it normal?

Like I mentioned, it’s a nice break from a serious conversation, it elicits laughter and it’s also a way to flirt with the girls. They obviously know you didn’t eat a whole horse when you were hungry or actually vomit a rainbow, but the imagery as well as the absurdity of the statement will usually make them laugh, and most times will have her participating. You know what that’s called? Establishing rapport.

Girls like it when a guy is silly. But don’t be a clown. You don’t want her to go from thinking “Wow, he’s got a sense of humor!” to “Is he ever serious?”. Serious is good, but silly works wonders when you sprinkle it throughout your conversation.
