I am going to a trade school to learn auto mechanics and today we were learning how to use a tire machine. (used to remove and replace tires) About half of my class are phillipino and are great guys, but sometimes there is a language barrier that prevents us from really getting to know each other. Learning how to use this machine involves technique and lots of practice, and proved to be difficult on the first time. Being one of the students that is truly passionate about cars i have exelled in this class and i usually set the bar pretty high. After a night downtown enjoying the olympic festivities I was pretty tired and a little green, but still went first to set the bar as a classmate wanted me to. I completed the task of removing the tire and replacing it in about 10 minutes with some difficulties. At first i didnt know what was going on. Everyone started laughing at me when i made a mistake and i wasn't too thrilled about it with the mood i was in, also dealing with ex girlfriend issues. Then i realized what was going on. Everyone started planning out their strategy to get the fastest time, it had turned into a race! The class stood in a circle around the machine watching each person take their turns and we all laughed histerically and poked fun when someone was struggling with a very obvious mistake, allowing them to fumble around and make an ass of themselves. Turned out that only one person managed to beat my time as miserable as it was. But it wasnt even about who won, the laughter and the fact we took something relatively dull and turned it into a hilarious competition was great enough on its own. Today I learned what banter is and found out I do that all the time! This site rocks! Thanks for the seemingly endless articles full of knowledgable goodness and keep it up! Hey everyone,

Order a Bald Eagle burger at a restaurant. Ask her for a number between one and ten then tell her she owes you that amount of money. Tell her you guys should start a Snuggies for chia pets business CH CH CH CHIA! Say things in weird voices (very key) It should be said that my game is all attraction and lay, I avoid mid game at all costs with girls at clubs n bars lol. I just make em laugh til it hurts then yell "FIRE FIRE GET TO THE CAB AND BACK TO YOUR APARTMENT AND GET EGGS ALONG THE WAY!!" My mid game has always lacked because I rarely see the point in getting to know someone- it is my biggest flaw as I have a hard time really opening up. WAH WAH WAHHHH sorry I'm a child of divorce! but im also an only child so gimme your phone number! and I want your direct line not your secretary- also give her a raise!

You're right, most people banter a lot better and a lot more when they've had something to drink. And relaxing and detaching yourself from ANY outcome is crucial. Thanks for sharing! Take care, Alex Hey Will, how are you doing!

I find when I'm a little relaxed/drunk then I banter like hell. You're spot on about the mood - I mean if you've just lost your job, you;re not going to be particularly in the mood for some banter? Most likely you'll be tense, less creative and that will refelect in your tone and body language. I think, in general most people are pretty good at bantering, if they can relax and detach themselves from the outcome. Will Awesome stuff Alex, I like this post.

The whole idea of bantering is that it should be very easy and natural, once you become familiar with it. It's all about being very present, open and having a lot of fun. It's basically the same as joking around, perhaps just a bit more social and flirty. Jamiro, thanks man! Hey Brent,

I see the idea of bantering is you just totally have fun with people and try to make them do something fun with you. But it seems kinda hard to do that really? Can you or someone else who gets this give me another example because I am really confused LOL. How else could bantering work with meeting new people or a pretty girl? Hey Alex, nice article

Another thing to add: -be sure to avoid topics that people might be sensitive about. Example: don't call a fat person fat, don't call an ugly person ugly, and so on. It's important to know the line between light hearted bantering and hurtful comments. I've pissed off quite a few people before learning where that line was. My good story: Didn't talk much with my coworkers, but we all went to lunch, and it was all a serious of jabs. We bantered about the resteraunt, and everyone got made fun of a little, but we didn't focus too much on one person. Nice thing is, this light hearted talk carried over and everyone is much more friendly in the office now! Solid post!
