Teasing girls: A Trend I've noticed.

Ok, so I've noticed this interesting trend as I've dated more girls of various ages. I'm still 21 so sometimes, I'll go out with 18 or 19 year olds. When I try to bust on them (a playful, sarcastic remark at their expense), they usually crack up, their attraction spikes, and they seem to generally enjoy the comment. Conversely, when I'm out with a relatively older girl (20+), they'll often look at me like I'm retarded when I make a ball-busting comment (i.e. the bored/skeptical look for those who know it). Or they'll just answer me in a very matter-of-factly tone.

Anyways, usually I won't yield to the social pressure. I don't pussy out and say "sorry" or "I was just kidding" or anything like that (unless they seem genuinely offended or hurt). But as the night progresses, their attraction for me usually seems to wane as opposed to spike when I make more comments like those. One thing to note is that I do have a very dry sense of humor and sometimes people REALLY don't get that I'm kidding. But I feel like if that was the issue, the younger ones (if anyone) would be giving me matter-of-factly answers. Not the more experienced, socially in tune older girls. Thoughts?

Basically, younger women love being teased, a little bit, so that she knows you're not putting her up on the pedestal because she thinks she's young and hot. I'm not too sure what the case is with older women, but teasing in a way that builds her up always works.

Ok, I guess I should clarify. When I said "20+" I meant girls ages 20-23. I've only dated one girl who isn't between 18-23. She was 29 and she actually was quite receptive to my teasing. So I feel like all reference points I have would count as "young".

These ultra confident girls respond much better to connection building techniques, such as deep diving and stimulating conversation with an occasional cocky joke mixed in.

You might be on to something here. I feel like all the girls I remember dating in their 20s were either very confident/perceived themselves as high status women (I remember one of them literally complimented herself in the middle of our date LOL). Or they just generally seemed to have their shit together in life and knew what they wanted.
...Come to think of it, there were a few exceptions. And those exceptions were also exceptions to my observation. That is, the few girls in their 20s who weren't high status/ high perceived self-worth also were receptive to my teasing.

Having said that, my fundamentals and my game in general isn't even close to perfect yet. And a lot of these girls were a challenge. So I guess that begs the question: does teasing work on any girl, as long as she perceives the man as higher status relative to her? Or does it stop working altogether after women reach a certain amount of confidence/maturity?

I've not noticed any difference with age, maybe because I'm an older guy anyway.

What I usually do is build comfort/rapport then tease, doing it the other way round is a bit haphazard :)

Another thing to think about is its about how you present yourself when teasing. For example there's a girl atm I tease quite strongly and sometimes it's borderline insulting but because I've know her a while and more to the point she knows me and that I am only teasing it's all good. However I also know when she's not in the mood to be teased at which point I switch to kindest and consideration.
