lol women weren't put on this earth to be our slaves... as much as it kills me to say it lol... but seriously they weren't...
you say that you dont jump through their hoops but make them jump through yours? i dont believe thats the right way to go about it... ill jump through their hoop only... and only if they've previously jumped through my hoop... eg...
(my hoop)
Me: "hey can you hold my drink for a second while i go to the toilet"
Her: "yeh sure

"
(her hoop)
Her: "can you please watch my bag while i go to the toilet"
Me: "yeh no worries just place it on the table and ill make sure no one steals it

"
you must give to get...
i know they are basic examples of hoops but try to make her jump through one of your hoops before you jump through her hoop...
and yeh you're thinking too much about trying to act cool and funny... just be the person you are... dont change your personallity depending on how attractive the woman is... she'll see straight through you and you'll come off as a "try hard"
hope that helps
