110+ “Fun Facts” for Interviews, Introductions, & Icebreakers

Best ways to reply when someone says, “Tell me about yourself.”

“Tell us a fun fact about yourself” may be one of the most dreaded requests when meeting someone new. And yet, it commonly pops up in everything from job interviews to dinner parties. While this request can be a little nerve-racking, it doesn’t have to be! This article gives you examples of fun facts from a variety of categories to help you answer with confidence. Plus, we’ll tell you how to choose an interesting and memorable fun fact that tells people something about who you are.

Steps

Professional Fun Facts about Me

1. Share a fun fact about your career or professional achievements. Did you want to be an optometrist when you were a kid? Or maybe you’re also a certified acupuncturist. Giving a client, colleague, or potential employer an unusual answer makes you stand out. Ask yourself these questions to come up with a great professional fun fact to give others insight into what makes you you.
   
   • What professional accomplishment are you proudest of?
   • What job did you want when you were 10 years old?
   • What was the first job you ever had?
   • What’s your favorite app to use at work?
   • What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done at work?
   • What’s your favorite corporate buzzword?
   • What is your latest passion project?
   • Is there anything non-traditional about your career path?
   • What’s your #1 professional goal for the year?
   • What’s the worst job interview experience you’ve ever had?
   • What’s your personal mission statement?
   • What do you do better than most people?
   • What’s the biggest professional lesson you’ve learned in the past few years?
   • What person in your industry would you love to meet?
   • What are the top 5 things on your career bucket list?
   • What’s the best piece of professional advice you’ve ever gotten?
2. Go with unique answers that highlight your professional experience. When answering this question for a job interview or professional networking event, try to think of answers that give others an idea of your career. Focus on your professional background, goals, accomplishments, and experience. For example, say something like:
   
   • I opened my first business when I was 10. It was a neighborhood dog-walking service. Now, I’m launching a tech startup that connects pet owners with verified pet sitters.
   • About 5 years ago, I quit my corporate job to spend a year as an apprentice to a traditional Japanese woodworker. It completely transformed how I think about product design and craftsmanship.
   • After college, I drove a food truck specializing in fusion tacos. That experience managing inventory and predicting daily sales sparked my interest in optimizing supply chains, which is now my specialty.
   • I’m working toward my goal of opening a chain of cafes that double as community learning spaces. The idea was inspired by my experience teaching English to adult learners at a coffee shop in Columbia.
   • I used to manage outdoor music festivals, which gave me a strong desire to understand weather patterns, which led me to earn a degree in meteorology, which is something I’m most proud of.

Personal Fun Facts about Me

1. Reveal a fun fact about your personal life or background. Think about your family and background. Are there any funny moments you can share without revealing uncomfortable details? Or maybe you love to volunteer at your local soup kitchen. If all else fails, talk about your pets, recommends dating coach and matchmaker Laura Bilotta. “Most people have a pet, and if they don’t, they usually like pets.” Then, you can reply by asking if they’re a cat or dog person. Or, ask if they have any pets of their own.”^[1] Use these questions to come up with an interesting fun fact.
   
   • Do you have an irrational fear?
   • Do you collect anything unusual?
   • What TV show do you binge when you just want to relax?
   • Have you ever run into a celebrity?
   • Have you ever had an unusual pet?
   • Have you ever won any contests?
   • Do you have any poems, songs, or scenes from a movie memorized?
   • If you could be any animal, what would it be?
   • What was the first concert you ever went to?
   • What song is your go-to for karaoke?
   • How many houseplants do you own?
   • What weird smell do you kind of like?
   • Do you own any unusual clothing that you can’t seem to get rid of?
   • Is there anything you do every week, no matter what happens?
   • How many books do you own?
   • What did your parents almost name you?
   • Are you a “cat person” or a “dog person”?
2. Share “fun facts” that reveal something fun and memorable about you. Focus on abilities and experiences that are not only light-hearted and fun but also meaningful to you. Make sure you back up your “fun fact” with an explanation of why you chose it. Here are a few examples of personal “fun facts” to get you started.
   
   • I have an irrational fear of automatic car washes. Being trapped in the dark while giant brushes swing over and around my car reminds me of “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and I break out into a cold sweat.
   • I rewatch the Great British Bake Off when I need to decompress. There’s something so soothing about watching people stress out about making the perfect pavlova while being relentlessly kind and polite. I don’t even know what a pavlova is.
   • My go-to karaoke song is “Mr. Roboto.” I choreographed a dance routine for the entire song when I was 11. I used to make my brothers perform it every time the song played. I still use that choreography.
   • I once ran into Morgan Freeman in a bookstore in Chicago. I was blocking an aisle, and he said, “Excuse me,” in his Morgan Freeman voice. I was so surprised I dropped my coffee all over his shoes. I was horrified and started apologizing. He just laughed. When I walked to the front of the store, the barista had another coffee waiting for me, courtesy of Morgan Freeman.
   • I can recite the “What a piece of work is man” monologue from Hamlet. Not because I’m a Shakespeare scholar, but because I was a musical theater nerd who listened to the Original Cast Recording of Hair constantly.

Fun Facts about Travel & Adventure

1. Answer with a fun fact about where you’ve traveled. Whether you’ve traveled to the wilds of Tanzania or taken a road trip to Branson, Missouri, a fun fact about your journey is always appreciated. Or, maybe you’ve been on an adventure you can’t wait to talk about. Try asking yourself a few of these questions to come up with an engaging travel-related fun fact.
   
   • What is a place you’ve always wanted to go but haven’t yet?
   • What’s the longest travel delay you’ve ever experienced?
   • Is there a place you can’t believe people actually travel to?
   • What destination has left a lasting impression on you?
   • Can you speak more than one language?
   • What’s the longest road trip you’ve ever taken?
   • Have you ever visited one of the world’s wonders?
   • How many states have you been to?
   • Have you ever lived in another country?
   • What is your wildest travel story?
   • What’s the best city you’ve ever visited?
   • What’s the coldest temperature you’ve ever experienced?
   • Are there any interesting facts about your hometown?
   • What’s the most adventurous activity you want to try?
   • What’s your favorite airport?
   • How many National Parks have you visited?
   • Are there any historical sites you want to explore?
   • What’s the most exotic place you’ve ever been?
2. Choose answers that cast you in a positive light. Try to think of a story that combines an unexpected situation with a specific location. The best “fun facts” about travel often include a surprising twist, like getting lost and finding something truly wonderful or making a new friend in an unlikely place. Try to focus on memorable moments that changed your perspective in some way.
   
   • I accidentally crashed a wedding in Morocco looking for a restaurant I saw on Instagram. I ended up being the unofficial wedding photographer and learning a few traditional Berber dance moves.
   • I once got lost hiking in New Zealand and ended up being adopted by a family of sheep farmers. I was with them for three days. They taught me how to shear sheep, and now I can't wear wool without thinking about Bessie, my favorite ewe.
   • My most prized possession is a key I found while snorkeling in Greece. The local dive master swore it matched the lock on a century-old shipwreck nearby. I think he was just pulling my leg, but it’s a good excuse to go back to Greece someday to check it out.
   • While camping in Iceland, I got to see the Northern Lights for the first time. I was in so much awe that I fell backward into a hot spring. Thankfully, it was a shallow one, but my backpack still smells like sulfur.
   • During a train ride in Japan, I helped a man translate his grandfather’s love letters into English. We still exchange New Year's cards, and he sends me some of his homemade umeboshi pickles every year.

Fun Facts about Hobbies

1. Share a fun fact about one of your hobbies. How you spend your free time says a lot about who you are. Talking about your hobbies also makes you more interesting to other people. Everyone would rather be around someone who is passionate about something. Plus, if you share a passion, it’s the perfect way to forge a new bond.^[2] Try asking yourself a few of these questions to give you ideas for fun facts about your hobbies.
   
   • How many musical instruments can you play?
   • Do you have an unusual hobby?
   • What’s the hobby you’ve done for the longest?
   • What’s your newest hobby?
   • Have you ever created anything?
   • Have you finished any books or TV shows more than once?
   • Have you ever taken a class in a random subject?
   • Have you ever read a book that changed the way you see the world?
   • Have you ever given up a hobby?
   • What hobby makes you lose track of time?
   • Have you ever won first prize for a hobby?
   • What’s your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
   • What’s your most expensive hobby?
   • Do you have a hobby you wish was your full-time job?
   • What’s the strangest hobby you’ve picked up as an adult?
   • What’s the biggest DIY fail you’ve ever had?
   • What makes you feel the most creative?
2. Choose a more unusual or impressive hobby to be more memorable. When sharing a “fun fact” about your hobbies, try to combine your genuine enthusiasm with an unexpected or amusing reason you chose that hobby. Share how your interest has led to unique skills that most people don’t have or wouldn’t expect.
   
   • I got so invested in birdwatching that I learned to perfectly imitate a barred owl's call. It sounds impressive, but it backfired spectacularly when I accidentally summoned twelve owls during a romantic moonlit walk on my first date with my now-spouse.
   • When I first got into knitting, my obsession was so intense that I once turned my entire living room into a giant yarn maze while trying to untangle my stash. My cat still hasn't forgiven me for dismantling her personal amusement park.
   • My passion for origami led me to fold 1,000 paper cranes for good luck, but I ran out of regular paper halfway through and had to use old receipts, candy wrappers, and even a parking ticket. I can now make a paper crane out of any piece of paper.
   • I've gotten so into indoor gardening that I've developed a complex pulley system to rotate my 127 houseplants so they get the most sunlight. My house looks like a botanical Rube Goldberg machine.
   • My love for stargazing got slightly out of hand when I converted my car's trunk into a mobile observatory. I'm now the person who turns every rural gas station stop into an impromptu astronomy lesson.

Quirky & Interesting Fun Facts

1. Choose a unique fun fact to help you stand out. Your personality, with its many quirks, is what makes you interesting and unique. In fact, it’s your quirks and everyday behaviors that say the most about who you are as a person.^[3] Sharing your unusual experiences and unique talents gives someone new hints about the real you. So, ask yourself these questions to uncover your quirky fun facts.
   
   • Do you have any superstitions?
   • Do you have a secret talent?
   • Who was your childhood celebrity crush
   • Is there anything that’s common knowledge that you just found out?
   • Are there any words you can never remember how to pronounce?
   • If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
   • What was your childhood nick-nickname?
   • What’s your weirdest story from high school?
   • What famous person shares your birthday?
   • How many books do you read in a year?
   • What is your all-time favorite song?
   • What was your high school’s mascot?
   • Why did your parents give you your middle name?
   • What is your favorite season?
   • Have you ever broken a bone?
   • What fictional universe would you live in?
   • What’s your favorite guilty pleasure movie?
   • What song do you listen to at least twice every time it pops up on your playlist?
2. Choose a “fun fact” that others might find surprising and relatable. Try to think of moments or habits that are delightfully weird. Share something about yourself that your friends or family would describe as “typically you.” Consider sharing odd talents, strange coincidences, or peculiar habits you didn’t even think were unusual until someone pointed them out. Here are a few examples to help you think of one of your own.
   
   • I’ve kept a log of every day of my life for the past 15 years. It’s in a database, so I know that I get sick at roughly the same time every winter.
   • I've developed such a specific preference for the perfect shower temperature that I can tell when it's off by half a degree. My roommates call me ‘The Water Whisperer’ and make me deal with our ancient water heater every time it acts up.
   • When I’m nervous, I unconsciously alphabetize everything. My friends know I'm stressed when they find me reorganizing the condiments at restaurants or sorting the magazines in waiting rooms.
   • I have an uncanny ability to find four-leaf clovers. It’s gotten to the point where I'm no longer allowed to participate in St. Patrick's Day clover hunts because it ‘ruins the fun for everyone else.’
   • I have a collection of rocks that look like famous people. My pride and joy is a pebble that looks exactly like Danny DeVito. People have offered me money for it, but I’ll never sell.

Fun Facts about Food & Cooking

1. Give an answer that refers to a food you love (or hate). Research shows the types of food you like to eat can reveal hints about your personality. People who enjoy sweet foods are kind and helpful, while those who like bitter foods may be less agreeable.^[4] Ask yourself a few of these questions to share fun facts about your food preferences that may give others a glimpse of your inner self.
   
   • What is your favorite food?
   • What food do you hate that everyone else loves?
   • If you could pick your last meal, what would it be?
   • What’s the most unique food you’ve ever tried?
   • Do you have a favorite snack from another country?
   • Do you have a recipe you’re famous for making?
   • Is there a type of food you’d like to try but haven’t?
   • Have you ever won a cooking competition?
   • Do you have a family recipe that’s been passed down for generations?
   • Are you a better baker or cook?
   • What is your favorite restaurant?
   • Would you rather have salty or sweet food?
   • What’s your favorite comfort food?
   • What dish do you always make when you have company?
   • What candy did you hate when you were a kid?
   • What food do you secretly eat too much of every time you have it?
2. Think of personal stories that show your interest in food culture. The best “fun facts” about food show your personality and share your passion for culinary experiences. Focus on specific incidents or habits that give people a glimpse into your life while sparking their curiosity.
   
   • I once got so obsessed with perfecting my sourdough starter that I named it Friedrich von Yeastoven and took it on vacation with me. It now has its own Instagram account with more followers than I do.
   • I once tried to master eating with chopsticks by using them at every meal for a solid month. I even used them for soup, sandwiches, and pizza. I still reach for chopsticks every time I eat popcorn.
   • My spice cabinet is organized like a color wheel, and I've developed such a precise sense of smell that my friends use me as a human expiration date detector for their questionable leftovers.
   • I learned to cook by making every recipe in my great-grandmother's recipe box, but since half the instructions just say ‘add some’ or ‘cook until done,’ I had to make 17 versions of her apple cake before figuring out what ‘a reasonable amount of cinnamon’ means.
   • I've maintained the same batch of kimchi for six years. It's outlasted three relationships and two jobs. My friends call it as ‘The Eternal Fermentation.’

Fun Facts for Kids

1. Use “fun facts” to help kids get out of their shells. Some kids are anxious with new people or take a while to warm up. This can lead to fewer chances to practice their social skills.^[5] Try some silly, kid-friendly icebreakers to help them relax and start talking. Use some of these easy questions to help your little ones be more confident, make friends, and try new things.
   
   • What's your favorite school subject?
   • What is your favorite song?
   • What's your favorite food?
   • If you could meet anyone, who would it be?
   • What's your favorite animal?
   • If you had $1 million, how would you spend it?
   • Who's your favorite superhero?
   • What's your favorite holiday?
   • What's your favorite book?
   • If you had superpowers, what would they be?
2. Ask kids “why” to get answers that spark conversations. One way to get kids to talk about their “fun fact” a little more is to follow up the original question with “why” to encourage them to share more information about themselves. It takes courage to share information about yourself with new people, so praise your child whenever they share a “fun fact” about themselves. Here are a few answers to the “fun facts” for kids to help you know what types of answers to shoot for.
   
   • Elephants are my favorite animal. I like to pretend to be an elephant so much that I figured out I can wiggle my ears without touching them.
   • My favorite movie is Mary Poppins. I watched it 7 times when I had chicken pox and had to stay home. I can say ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ backwards.
   • If I had a million dollars, I'd build a giant trampoline park in my backyard and make it free for everyone in my class.
   • Spider-Man is my favorite superhero because he has a bedtime just like me, and his aunt packs his lunch. Plus, I've been practicing shooting webs with my silly string.
   • I really want to meet Mary from 'Mary Has a Little Lamb' because I need to know if she got in trouble for bringing a sheep to school. My teacher won't even let me bring my hamster for show and tell.

How to Choose a Fun Fact

1. Pick something specific that sparks a conversation. The best fun facts intrigue the other person, so they want to learn more. The best way to do that is to avoid giving general answers that are too broad to really say anything about you or invite more questions.^[6]
   
   • Instead of saying something like, “I love K-pop music,” try something like, “I’m a huge fan of the K-pop group ATEEZ because they have elaborate and interesting stories behind every album.”
2. Make sure your fun fact is appropriate for your audience. The point of asking for a fun fact is to help others learn something unique and interesting about you. The asker isn’t trying to pry into all uncomfortable or controversial topics. Bilotta recommends avoiding bad experiences that might bring up negative feelings.^[7] Keep the conversation light. Don’t share political, religious, financial, or medical “fun” facts.^[8]
   
   • Instead of saying, “I lost 50 pounds and quit smoking after a heart attack last year,” try something like, “I’m really committed to staying active and enjoy yoga, swimming, and kickboxing.”
3. Prepare a fun fact that communicates something unique about you. The best way to give a fun fact is to know what you want to say before someone asks for one. Think about the things you enjoy and try to think about why you like them. Really dig into your reasons to find the most interesting one.^[9]
   
   • Instead of saying, “I like cheeseburgers,” try something like, “The best cheeseburger I ever had was in a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant in Philadelphia.”
4. Always be honest and authentic with your answer. It’s sometimes tempting to act how you think others want you to act or try to impress new acquaintances. However, other people see through inauthentic behavior pretty quickly and are put off by it. The best way to build genuine connections is to be your authentic self.^[10]
   

When to Share Fun Facts

1. You may be asked for a fun fact in professional or personal settings. “Tell me a fun fact about yourself” is a light-hearted way to get a conversation started. It helps people relax and get to know each other without pressure.^[11] Part of giving a good answer is having one ready. Prepare to share a fun fact about yourself in the following situations:
   
   • Job interviews: “Tell me a fun fact about yourself” is often used at the beginning of a job interview to get a conversation going. Plus, your answer can demonstrate your communication skills and how you’d fit in with the company culture.
   • Icebreakers: Sharing fun facts is an easy icebreaker that helps people relieve tension and start to bond as teammates or acquaintances. People often use them at the beginning of a meeting or team-building exercise to help focus attention and raise their energy level.
   • Networking events: Networking events can seem overwhelming, especially if you aren’t used to them. Exchanging fun facts is a great way to make it less stressful because you’re sharing something about who you are, which can help you find common ground and build a connection.
   • Introductions: Whether introducing yourself on the first day at a new job or when volunteering at a local non-profit, sharing a fun fact helps others in the group get to know you.

How to Roast Someone in a Rap Battle (Plus the Best Bars of All Time)

Read the best roasts in rap history and learn to write your own

Rap battles are a time-honored tradition where you get to roast your friends to a sick beat. The best roasts are funny, catchy, and painfully accurate. We compiled the greatest roasts in rap history from the biggest hip-hop beefs, as well as plenty of brutal roasts to use on your friends. We’ll also show you how to write your own, to boot. Grab a mic and catch this beat. You’re up next!

Writing a Good Rap Roast

Focus your diss on a funny quirk or habit your friend has, like taking too long in the bathroom or never cleaning their room. Make it rhyme to make your roast catchy, and keep it short so it doesn’t get awkward. Avoid topics that cut too deep, like family problems or illness, which can kill the vibe.

Steps

Original Rap Battle Roast Examples

1. Funny roasts{endbold} When you’re in a friendly competition, it’s best to keep things friendly and fun. That way, everyone can keep laughing and enjoying the rap battle without things getting awkward or touchy. Here are plenty of fun rap disses:
   
   • “You’ve got a face for radio but you’ll never get air time. / If they put your mug on TV the viewers would decline.”
   • “Foaming at the mouth like a rat with rabies. / Better see the vet or soon you’ll be pushing daisies.”
   • “What’s the name of the rapper whose rhymes were clutch? / Well it ain’t you, I know that much.”
   • Check out our article of 160 Good Roasts for many, many more ideas!
2. Brutal roasts{endbold} Sometimes you just need to turn up the heat and really dig in. Again, it’s best not to get too personal or hurtful, but ramping up the intensity can turn a game into a real competition and a battle of the pen.
   
   • “Pretty sure I heard your bars in preschool / There are kids that rap better than this fool.”
   • “This guy’s mouth runs faster than his mind / Maybe that’s why he can never rap in time.”
   • “All bark, no bite. / Your bars are bad and your lyrics are trite.”
3. Great boasts{endbold} A rap battle isn’t just about dissing your opponent into the ground, it’s also about making sure everyone knows that you’re not someone to mess with, and you have the skill to be a legend. Boasting about yourself is just as important as roasting your foe.
   
   • “When it comes to rapping, I’m one of a kind. / Strap your brain in or I’ll blow your mind.”
   • “Others try but few succeed. / A few of my bars is all you need.”
   • “They’re just mad ‘cause I’m top of the podium. / Got them pressed, stressed, and salty like sodium.”

Best Rap Roasts of All Time

1. 2pac vs. Notorious B.I.G.{endbold} We’re starting with a truly scathing beef that’s already in the history books as the gold-standard for diss tracks and rap roasts. And it’s deep-seated, too. Tupac wrote “Hit ‘Em Up” in response to Biggie’s song “Who Shot Ya,” which is (probably) about a targeted shooting against Shakur. From that beef, we got some choice lines:^[1]
   • Tupac: “Now it's all about Versace, you copied my style / Five shots couldn't drop me, I took it and smiled.”
   • Tupac: “And your pop stars popped and get mopped and dropped / And all your fake-*** East Coast props brainstormed and locked.”
   • Biggie: “I can hear sweat trickling down your cheek / Your heartbeat sound like Sasquatch feet / Thundering, shaking the concrete.”
2. Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake{endbold} Here’s a more recent one, another beef that made history and that we all had the pleasure of witnessing. The details are complicated, but in a nutshell, chart-topper Drake picked a fight with the Shakespeare of rap Kendrick Lamar, and the results were several songs of burn after burn that ended with Drake ditching the mic and lawyering up.^[2]
   • Kendrick: “Sometimes you gotta pop out and show n***** / Certified boogeyman, I'm the one that up the score with 'em…They not like us, they not like us, they not like us.”
   • Kendrick: “The audience not dumb / Shape the stories how you want, hey, Drake, they're not slow / Rabbit hole is still deep, I can go further, I promise.”
   • Drake: “I've emptied the clip over friendlier jabs / You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad / I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad.”
3. Jay-Z vs. Nas{endbold} A battle between absolute legends gave us some absolute banger lines. Jay-Z’s response to Nas’s “Ether” was so scathing that, as the story goes, his own mother disapproved, and he ended up apologizing.^[3] We’re a PG website, so we can’t include the best lines here, but you can get a pretty good idea from verses like:
   • Jay-Z: “But really, I don't need the heat (Nah) / Your heart pump project Kool-Aid, you're sweet.”
   • Jay-Z: “This is not beef, this is rap, homie; I don't have a scratch on me / You feel Jay soft, rip Jay off / Damn, I'm only worth over a hundred million.”
   • Nas: “I embrace y'all with napalm / Blows up, no guts, left chest, face gone.”
4. 50 Cent vs. Ja Rule{endbold} This is a feud that went on for decades, mostly because 50 got too much of a kick out of it and wouldn’t let it die. It all started when Ja got robbed in New York, and one of 50’s guys was accused. The rest is history, and that history is mostly 50 and Ja trading diss tracks.^[4]
   • 50 Cent: “Any living thing that cannot co-exist with the kid / Must decease existin', little n****, now listen.”
   • 50 Cent: “I eat you for breakfast, the watch was an exchange for your necklace.”
   • Ja Rule: “On your grave it's gonna read: ‘Here lie 50, who snitched on many / That half a dollar, that nickel, them dimes, and died like penny.”
5. Epic Rap Battles{endbold} It doesn’t take a legendary rapper to craft a legendary line, but at this point, the Epic Rap Battles crew is legendary in their own right. The YouTube channel imagines rap battles between real and fictional rivals, and some of the lines are historic:
   • George R.R. Martin to J.R.R. Tolkien: “All your bad guys die, and your good guys survive. We can tell what's gonna happen by page and age five!”
   • Stalin to Rasputin: “Cool mustache, Wario. Try messing with the Mad Monk, you'll be sorry, yo.”
   • Steve Jobs to Bill Gates: “I built a legacy, son, you could never stop it. Now, excuse me while I turn Heaven a profit.”

Roasting Your Friends in a Rap Battle

1. Keep your roasts lighthearted if you’re roasting friends. With big rap beefs, the rapper’s reputations and careers (and sometimes their lives) are on the line.^[5] But usually when you’re roasting someone, it’s just a friendly competition between buds. Avoid cutting too deep or focusing on things your friends are sensitive about. Keep it easygoing, fun, and remember that it’s just a game.
   
   • This is a great time to remind them of funny things they did in the past, or embarrassing things that’ll really get them blushing (without making them angry).
   • If this is a serious event, feel free to push a little harder and dig a little deeper. Just keep in mind that the audience needs to approve of your bars, too, and if you go too hard, they might not keep rooting for you.
2. Target your opponent’s quirks instead of their serious flaws. Some things might dampen the mood, like mentioning a dead relative, or your opponent’s addictions or illnesses. Instead, notice the funny little habits or quirks they have, and focus on those.^[6] When in doubt, roast something your opponent has control over, like how they dress or act, and not their physical traits or serious struggles, which they don’t have control over.
   
   • Good example: “All dressed up like it’s your first of school, huh? Tuck in your shirt, geek, and try not to drool, bud.”
   • Bad example: “Your mom left because you’re ugly.”
3. Keep each diss short, sweet, and about 2 lines or less. We’re not writing novels here, just dissing our friends. If your bar is too long, it could get awkward or you might mess up the delivery. Keep each diss short, snappy, and self-contained, then move on to the next one. That way, they’re more memorable, and you can pack more punches into your diss.
   
   • When in doubt, keep your disses to 1 or 2 lines or sentences, and try to keep each line under 15-20 syllables.
4. Find good bars by making lines that rhyme. Rhyming isn’t a requirement, but it’s a shortcut to making your bars flow and sound catchy. Start by spitting out any old bar, then take note of the last word, and form your next bar just by rhyming with that word. It’s as simple as that!
   
   • For example, you might think of the line, “Verse so hot it’s lit like kerosene.” Then, look for a good word that rhymes with kerosene. How about “obscene?” That’s a negative word that’s easy to work into a line, like, “Beat you so bad the audience finds it obscene.”
   • Remember to stay on beat, and make sure that your rhyme also has some rhythm and that you can say it in time to the beat.
   • Feel free to write your lines ahead of time and recite them when the moment comes. That said, great rappers master the art of improv.

What are ‘bars’ in rap battles?

1. A “bar” is a good line in a rap. In music, a “bar” is a measure or a unit of time.^[7] Rap and hiphop music took that term and started using it to mean a good verse or a great line. It can be a single, literal line, like in a poem, or it can be a set of good lines that all add up to pack a real punch. Whatever the case, you’d call it a “bar.”
   
   • Example: “Drake had good verses, but Kendrick had real bars.”
   • Similarly, “8 bars” refers to 8 measures or units in a song. Often, a song’s chorus is 8 bars. In rap, 8 bars is sometimes a whole verse.

Steps

Things That Turn Women On

1. Confidence{endbold} Projecting confidence can not only make a strong first impression, but it’s super attractive to both men and women.^[1] Be comfortable with who you are and try not to compare yourself to others. When she sees how self-assured you are, she’s sure to like you even more.
   
   • Build self-confidence by identifying negative beliefs about yourself and challenging them.^[2]
   • If you tell yourself that you’re “awkward,” write this thought down. Then, write evidence that contradicts it like “I’m good at making small talk” or “I do great in job interviews.”
2. Being well dressed{endbold} Wearing comfortable, fashionable clothes that make you feel confident can also make you look confident. Consider what clothing items you like and what you don’t like, and mix and match items in your closet to form outfits you feel cool in.^[3]
   
   • Once you develop a personal style, shop for additional items to add to your wardrobe. Donate items that don’t fit anymore or that don’t add to your style.^[4]
   • Celebrity matchmaker and dating coach Alessandra Conti recommends “hiring a stylist that specifically specializes in date night fashion” with “the intention of being appealing to the… sex that you're trying to appeal to.”^[5]
3. Making eye contact{endbold} Eye contact is one of the most important nonverbal ways to communicate affection. When you meet the eyes of someone you like, it can reveal how you really feel about them and open the door for more intimacy.^[6]
   
   • One study found that the most comfortable eye contact length is about 3 seconds on average.^[7]
   • Pair your eye contact with a nice and genuine smile for bonus points!
4. Wearing cologne{endbold} Colognes can accentuate your natural body scent and cover up less attractive smells.^[8] They can also be a good way to attract a beautiful woman’s attention. Shop around to find a scent that calls out to you, or take your partner to the store to get one you both like.
   
   • Some of the most attractive scents include vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, citrus, and lavender.^[9]
5. Good grooming habits{endbold} Showering, styling your hair, wearing deodorant, and shaving where you’d like to can make you more alluring.^[10] Research has even found that your level of attractiveness can increase just by cleaning up your appearance, standing up straight, and managing your diet.^[11]
   
   • Conti also says an easy way to “boost your levels of attraction is to start taking care of your body [and] going to the gym.”^[12]
6. Generosity and kindness{endbold} Most women tend to be attracted to people who are nice, friendly, and generous towards them.^[13] Putting other people’s needs above your own can also help your own mental health and wellbeing, which might also make you look attractive to others.^[14]
   
   • You might open the door for her, lighten her workload by handling a task for her, or tell her how much you like and appreciate her.
   • In one study, kindness and supportiveness were found to be two of the top five most attractive traits in a partner for both men and women.^[15]
7. Chivalry{endbold} Chivalry doesn’t just mean holding a door open or giving up your seat—it’s about being respectful and courteous to others around you.^[16] Letting others speak without interruption, listening to others, and respecting differences in their beliefs or opinions may catch women’s attention.
   
   • Other “gentlemanly” behaviors that women might find attractive include helping others with their luggage, forgiving others, and being empathetic.^[17]
   • “Chivalry” in dating has changed a ton over the years, but today, it’s usually used to talk about how men should treat women in romantic relationships.^[18]
8. Playfully teasing her{endbold} Teasing is a flirting technique that’s all about toying with the line between aggression and play, which can make you and the other person closer.^[19] You might give her a silly nickname, poke fun at something embarrassing she does, or playfully accuse her of hitting on you.
   
   • You’re such a theatre kid—I think I’m going to call you TK for short.
   • Watch out for Tabitha, she’s always tripping and falling!
   • What I’m hearing is that you have a massive crush on me, but I could be wrong.
9. A good sense of humor{endbold} Research has found that women tend to like men who make them laugh.^[20] Watch movies or stand-up comedians that make you laugh and try a few different jokes on your friends and the women in your life to see what sticks.^[21]
   
   • Being funny is all about learning to laugh at yourself while being calm and confident at the same time.
10. Actively listening to her{endbold} Everyone loves to feel heard and understood. Active listening is not only an attractive quality, but it also can lead to higher relationship satisfaction.^[22] To be a good listener, try restating important details back to her, nodding your head, and looking engaged and open while she talks to you.^[23]
    
    • Use small verbal reactions to show you’re engaged, like “Wow,” “Mmhmm,” or “Really?”
    • Try not to plan out what you’re going to say next—you might miss what the other person is saying and make them feel unheard.^[24]
11. Playing with her hair{endbold} Physical touch can be a great way to make her feel relaxed and connected to you. If you’re ever in a position where someone you’re close to has their head near you or in your lap, try running your fingers through her hair or gently rubbing the back of her neck.^[25]
    
    • One of the reasons it might feel good for someone to play with your hair is because it can cause a static-like or tingling sensation called the autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).^[26]
12. Cooking skills{endbold} When you cook, it can make you look independent, focused, and thoughtful—not to mention, she gets a delicious homemade meal at the end. If you’re planning a date night with a special someone, whip out an old family recipe and try to recreate it for her.
    
    • Light a few candles, play soft music, set out your nice dishes, and get ready to wine and dine her with a night of romance.
13. Surprising her with a gift{endbold} Getting her a gift tells her that you were thinking about her while she wasn’t around. Whether it’s a flower you found on the side of the road or a handmade album showcasing your relationship, giving her something thoughtful can be a great way to make her feel loved and even more connected to you.^[27]
    
    • The gift doesn’t need to be anything expensive—the key is to pick meaningful objects that matter to her.
    • Small tokens of affection, like picking her up a cup of coffee on the way to see her or giving her a cute keychain from your travels, can also be a good way to increase her attraction to you.
14. Pitching in around the house{endbold} Being responsible for all the household responsibilities can become overwhelming and exhausting. When you take over half the chores, it can free up her time and energy for more sexy activities.^[28]
    
    • According to one study, women tend to feel less desire for their husbands when the men don’t do their fair share of the household chores.
    • Part of the reason why doing chores might be attractive in heterosexual couples is that it defies the traditional view that women should be responsible for most household tasks.
15. Complimenting her on something non-physical{endbold} Phrases like “You’re so beautiful” or “I’m so attracted to you” might come from a truthful, well-meaning place, but for some women, it can suggest that you only like her for her looks. If you’re trying to rizz up a new partner, try complimenting her achievements or personality instead.^[29]
    
    • You’re such a good listener!
    • You’re so hard-working and strong.
    • I love how open-minded and non-judgemental you are.
    • You always smell so good!
16. Passion and outspokenness{endbold} Being committed to what you enjoy doing can make you seem powerful, ambitious, and exciting to be around.^[30] The next time you’re with a woman you find attractive, try talking about something you love, whether it’s your work, a hobby, or an interest you get excited about.
    
    • Try to tie what you’re passionate about into what she likes. For example, if she says she loves space, you might bring up that you love stargazing and astrology.
17. Being present and attentive{endbold} It may seem obvious, but dividing your attention between her and your phone or whatever else may be happening around you can communicate disinterest and block chemistry from happening.^[31] When you’re with her, turn off all distractions, give all your attention to her, and watch the sparks start to fly.
    
    • One speed-dating study of heterosexual couples revealed that men preferred women who were physically attractive regardless of whether their attention was on them.^[32]
    • Women, on the other hand, tended to value men who were present over men who were physically attractive and non-attentive.^[33]
18. Wearing a tailored suit{endbold} A suit can make you look slim, clean, and put-together, which are all super attractive traits. This doesn’t mean you have to wear a suit 24/7—the key is wearing one to the right occasion. If you have a wedding, cocktail party, or black-tie event coming up, dust off that old blazer and sweep the ladies off their feet.
    
    • If you’re not sure what kind of suit to choose, try getting a simple 2-button suit in navy blue or charcoal.^[34]
19. Remembering the things she likes{endbold} There’s a reason why remembering basic things about someone’s personality is a top sign that you like them.^[35] Showing that you care about her enough to remember her favorite movie or snack can be a huge turn-on—especially when you take the extra step to turn it into a romantic gesture.
    
    • For example, if you remember that she loves dolphins, you might take her to the aquarium and give her a stuffed dolphin on your next date.
20. Kissing her neck{endbold} When she exposes her neck, it can be a sign that she’s feeling comfortable and flirty. Going in for a few kisses in that area in the middle of a hot makeout sesh can be super erotic.^[36]
    
    • Other kissing hotspots might be her jawbone, the spot just behind her ears, her collarbone, and the nape, or front, of her neck.^[37]
21. Valuing her independence{endbold} When a woman feels like her own person, she’s more likely to see her partner as someone exciting or attractive because she feels like they’re someone she still doesn’t completely understand or have.^[38] This means that encouraging her to pursue her own interests and goals can make her more attracted to you.
    
    • Try to encourage her to do activities without you and place as much value on her wants, desires, and feelings as you do on your own.^[39]
22. Sending her cute texts{endbold} Texting her throughout the day can make her feel special, loved, and appreciated. If she’s open to it, you can even send something a little spicier to ramp up the heat. Try shooting her one of these romantic messages to remind her you’re thinking about her:^[40]
    
    • I can't decide if the best part of my day is waking up next to you, or going to sleep with you.
    • I always wake up smiling. I think it's your fault. 😉
    • Being with you is my favorite feeling!
    • I can’t stop thinking about kissing you again.
    • It’s so cold here… want to come to keep me warm? 😈
23. Telling her you think about her{endbold} Women may be more likely to be turned on when they feel like they’re being seen as attractive and desirable by another person.^[41] If you’re looking to turn on your partner, try telling her that you’ve been fantasizing or dreaming about her.^[42]
    
    • If you’re not dating her, try to stick to things that aren’t super explicit. You might send her a meme that reminds you of her or tell her the way she dresses is super cool.
    • Similarly, a 2010 study found that women’s fantasies often involve having sex with strangers and other situations that confirm that they’re attractive.
24. Giving her a massage{endbold} Massaging her shoulders after a long, hard day can be a spicy way of showing love and affection. Spread a little bit of massage oil (like olive or grape seed) with a relaxing scent on her, and gently rub out the knots in her back, using your body weight to apply pressure if she asks for it.^[43]
    
    • Massaging your partner can also foster trust, improve your communication, and relieve stress.^[44]
25. Wearing revealing clothes{endbold} Fitted T-shirts, booty shorts, slim-fitting khakis, button-up shirts with the sleeves rolled up… there are tons of sexy clothing options to turn her on.^[45] The key is feeling attractive in whatever you wear—she’ll see your confidence and want even more.
    
26. Experimenting in the bedroom{endbold} Reenacting your fantasies, dressing up in sexy costumes, or switching locations can be a great way to discover each other’s bodies and figure out what you both like in the bedroom. Let your imagination roam free and remember to set boundaries for especially spicy stuff.
    
27. Carrying heavy items for her{endbold} Placing her heavy suitcase into the plane’s storage bin or offering to carry a couch up the stairs while she’s moving can make her feel safe and loved.^[46] It can also be a great way to show off your muscles and make her a little bit flustered!
    
    • According to a 2017 study, the physical strength of a man was the strongest predictor of whether he was rated attractive.^[47]
28. Hugging her from behind{endbold} Hugging her from behind can be a way to bond with her because you’re both standing close to each other while enjoying the same view.^[48] If you want to turn the heat up a little bit, it can also be a good opportunity to kiss her neck or nibble on her ear.
    
29. Kissing her passionately{endbold} Kissing is one of the easiest ways to connect with your partner and quickly develop chemistry. Allow yourself to press your entire body against hers, touch her wherever she wants to be touched, and slip in a little tongue when things get hot and heavy.^[49]
    
    • If she’s cool with it, kiss her other places, too—her neck, collarbone, chest, and thighs can all be great places to generate some heat.
30. Asking her what she likes in the bedroom{endbold} Women’s desires and pleasure tend to get overlooked in the bedroom, so asking her what she does or doesn’t like can help make her feel more empowered and turned on.^[50] You can also let her take control for a night and show you what she wants you to do.
    
    • Women tend to climax less often than men, partly because they just expect to be less satisfied.^[51]
31. Being yourself{endbold} Embracing who you really are is the ultimate turn-on. After all, she already likes you for you—if you don’t like wearing suits or can’t cook to save your life, that’s completely fine! There are tons of things you already do that make her attracted to you.
    
    • Being authentic also means having the freedom to set boundaries.^[52] Work together with your partner to set expectations for your relationship and give each other the space you need.^[53]

Turn-Offs for Women

1. Poor communication{endbold} Relationships are built on good communication, so people who ghost you regularly or turn hot or cold at a moment’s notice can lose their appeal pretty quickly. Women want to know how you feel about them and where the two of you stand in the relationship.^[54]
   
   • What to do instead: Try to check in with her regularly to see how she’s doing and reinforce your feelings for her instead of trying to “play it cool” and make her chase you.^[55]
2. Being boastful or overly cocky{endbold} Just like confidence can drive women wild, overconfidence can be a total vibe-killer.^[56] Overestimating your own abilities and putting emphasis on yourself can come off as arrogant or narcissistic and make her feel frustrated or less valued.^[57]
   
   • What to do instead: Be willing to admit when you make mistakes and see situations from her point of view to prevent yourself from sounding too cocky.^[58]
3. Being rude or disrespectful{endbold} Being rude to waitstaff and strangers, not caring about other people, and talking badly about others can be a huge turn-off for some women. Not only can these habits make you seem unkind, but they can make her assume that you’d act that way towards her if you weren’t dating.^[59]
   
   • What to do instead: Try to put other people’s needs before your own to make them feel good. Volunteering and helping others daily can help make kindness a habit.^[60]
4. Being overly clingy{endbold} People who are “clingy” in relationships tend to have an anxious attachment style, which is a relationship behavioral pattern where you feel anxious about being rejected or abandoned, which causes you to try and prevent your partner from leaving you. However, this can do the opposite and ultimately push her away.^[61]
   
   • What to do instead: Visit a therapist to help you understand where this “clingy” behavior came from. Talk to your partner about your behavior and set boundaries to meet both of your needs.
5. Having no ambition or drive{endbold} Being lazy and unmotivated can make you seem like you have no personal goals, which can be a turn-off.^[62] However, it can also be a sign of poor mental health, so it’s important to visit a therapist if you’re finding it difficult to be excited about your work or about life in general.
   
   • What to do instead: Set a specific, achievable goal and think about what you need to rearrange to make it happen. Break your goal into small, easy tasks, and ask your friends and family to help keep you motivated.^[63]

Tips

• Studies suggest that facial stubble is attractive on a sex partner, while a fuller beard can make you look like you have good parenting abilities and more investment in having children.^[64]
