I find most guys interesting to talk to. I can always find something I have in common with them - chicks, computers, games, sci-fi, chicks, sports, chicks, politics, chicks and so on.
However, to women what most guys talk about to other guys is. well.
MORE BORING THAN WATCHING PAINT PEEL OFF THE WALLS!
And I think most guys, at least on some subconscious level, know this.
That's why when you're with a woman you don't go on and on about guy topics, if you're smart. Because you know you'll BORE her.
That's why a lot of guys on dates avoid guy talk. But at the same time, they don't know how to speak girl talk either.
So they're left with a void - and left racking their brains trying to think of what to say next.
They usually end up asking fill-the-void back-up questions like, "So what's your major?" and "What do you do?" and "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" These are all boring questions.
I almost completely avoid cliché questions like "So what do you do?" until AFTER I've slept with a girl.
One time I tried an experiment where I asked a girl nothing but boring questions just to prove my point. After about 30 minutes into our conversation the girl asked me sarcastically, "What is this 20 questions or something? Stop asking me so many things."
The million dollar question is then... HOW do you fill "the void"?
Easy.
Tell STORIES.
Yes, that's right - become a storyteller.
Storytelling accomplishes a number of objectives that normal guy talk and asking questions doesn't.
1) Storytelling is ENTERTAINING.
Ever notice how as a child, you were always read STORIES? Notice now, how as an adult, you turn on the TV to watch STORIES?
Even a science show on the Discovery Channel like "Mythbusters" is told as a story. You're not just presented with the fact that an urban legend was busted or not - that would be too boring to watch. Instead, you're shown HOW Jamie and Adam busted the myth or not and all the HUMAN INTERACTION between them that follows.
That's because people naturally like stories.
People naturally like stories because stories are naturally entertaining.
