I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get funny.
Is there anyone out there whose jokes completely sucked but then they figured out a routine to be more funny? (rarely I can say something funny, but I want to be able to chime in at EVERY point of conversation something funny) I feel I got to do this as a supplement to pick up because being funny just seems so important, not just to pickup, but to being a happy person in general.
I know if I really want to get funny I'll get there over time anyway, but maybe somebody can point to what to start with/focus on?
couple of suggestions:
1. ask funny/entertaining questions. that's easier than actually trying to be funny. strike up conversations that are fun to talk about. my all-time-favorite question is "if you could go back in time and space, and talk to yourself for only 15 minutes when you were 18, what would you say". a sci-fi question that lends itself to light-hearted comments, yet you can go deep when you have to, e.g. priorities, values of a woman, mistakes she made, dreams she has, etc. if you want another thousand questions like these, send me a PM and I'll send you a link to my mobile app.
2. do funny things. again, that's easier than actually being funny. going rock climbing or cooking on a first date is unique and a fun thing to do. so a girl will associate you with fun activities. that "feeling" is more important than actually being a funny clown like a chris rock or robin williams.
3. look funny. wear t-shirts with cartoon characters on them. bart simpson, ted. donald duck. etc. again, women will feel that you're fun, because of the way you look
4. be funny. pick-up a book on stand-up comedy, or watch some free youtube videos on how to become funny.
cheers,
