Couple of questions

[Diaoz]

Hi guys, thks.

1.) There's this girl that calls herself and treats herself like a princess. So when I first heard that, I asked "So where's the pedestal? I thought princesses are supposed to be on pedestals" and some other stuffs like that. Turned out ok but I'm trying to think of something ****y and funny to call a Princess, any ideas? Thks

2.) Everytime I tell a joke, or think of something funny, I can't help it but burst out in laughter.

That's fine normally since I'm a fun person, but some jokes are meant to be said in this serious and poker face.

So any suggestions on how to control laughters of even just a smile?

Oh Buddha

You serious? Okay, when you are wanting to laugh or smile, STOP! Now, call the little girl Princess Fiona, like in Shrek.

Learn how to "smirk". It's a refreshing change from a goofy smile. To me, smiles tend to look a bit forced and phony unless you're laughing. Smirks are especially good for times when you're being a smart arse, too. The vast majority of men grin or smile, but very few smirk. To be honest with you...I'm more likely to be intrigued by the guy with the smirk than the grin or smile. I can't say that all women are like that, though, but I think trying that might work well for you in your situation.

hmm, cool ideas there but how do you define a smirk as a smirk?

 

[sexual_intellectual]

smiles are at least 10cm wide. smirks are anything less than that. Modify this formula if you have a small mouth...

Don't smirk. It's insincere. People immediately read a smirk as, "I'm smiling, but I'm not really happy...maybe even a little ticked."

And don't laugh at your own jokes...it shows that you're insecure about how funny they are.

yeah I know, I generally prefer to tell jokes with a poker 'oh yeah' kindda face.

but since some are rather funny, I laugh with them "ha ha ha". which is fine too.

the real issue however is that on certain kindda jokes, the thought of it gets me laughing in a rather silly way...BEFORE I can even say it, so it looks rather dumb.

So, how do I control my laughter?

"Hey what's up there Cinderella? Got a question for you . . . when are you FINALLY gonna go from the rags to the riches like Walt Disney said you would?" Or some variation . . .

"Princess? Wow! My friend's dog has the same name! And there's some other similarities too . . . "
