Isn't agreeing and amplifying self depreciating humor?

Not really. You're not making yourself the butt of every joke and you don't put yourself in a bad light to be the entertaining clown.

I once had a girl shit test me about my shaved chest and a rather tightly fitted t-shirt telling me that I must be gay. I completely agreed and asked her if she thought I'd have any chances with that cute guy over there. The important part is that the message she got was "I don't care what you say. I obviously fuck girls and I know you wanna be one of them." instead of "haha, look at me! I'm so gay lol".

A and a (and self depricating humor) work best when it's something clearly not true. The comment about a and a about being gay... That only works if youre not gay. If you're actually super super gay it's not gonna work well for you. If you're tall and jacked and joke about being frail or dainty, it's not the same as being 5'4, 110 a n joking a k being small and dainty.

It should be sarcasm if you're doing it right.
