How to make people laugh

[SayWhat]

Hi all

I've come to realize I can do a conversation with people due to the techniques of asking them questions, repeating the last words they said, and basically just paying attention to what they say and going forward on that.

But I can't seem to do a conversation and make them laugh from time to time. I don't think I'm not humorous, but I'm just not witty enough. Is there anyway to change this? I see others having a conversation and see them laugh, also on dates it would be good if I can make them laugh instead of having a few hours of basic conversation...

Any advice on how to achieve this?

Make fun of yourself. It shows confidence and gets laughs..

Physical features, your job, your car, where you live, anything...

An example: I have a little bit of a gut on me. When a woman says, for example, "you need to be more sensitive, bla bla", I reply "Not going there honey. The only thing mushy on me is my gut".

Also: I have a really thick head of black hair and it grows super fast. Whenever I get a haircut I often tell the chick cutting it "I got here in the nick of time. That sh!t is so long that the birds were landing in my head and laying eggs"

Also: I live 18 miles outside of a big city in the country. People b!tch that "it's too far out". When I tell people where I live I may say "People gripe that it's too far. I haven't seen Charles and Caroline taking Laura to school in their horse and buggy yet but keep an eye out for them if you come out".

Brutal honesty in a playful exaggerated way.

Men who are not "there yet" in terms of frame and confidence should be really careful with self-deprecation. I would just avoid it altogether until you think you're there.

I don’t how you are but if you were like me you are not witty because you are nervous, learn to relax and listen. I find that calling a girl out with outrages claims leads to laughs playful flirting. Playfully tease her this way and she will tease you back.

Example
I was on a date and this girl mentioned she likes to read and loves Harry potter books, so I playfully teased her with“ a boy I bet you’re one of those weirdoes that has a potter scarf and runs around on a broom playing quidditch” which made her crack up and playfully “hit” my arm and defend herself(due this with a smirk or a smile). I also tend to come back later on in the conversation to something that made her laugh a lot. In this case it was when I was thinking of transitioning from the restaurant to my place I said “Well miss she who should not be named the movie might be on Netflix lets go check it out.

One more go to move I have is talking about a “nemesis”, steer the conversation towards something like this because I find every women has one. I make my nemesis ridiculous like steps higher than 6 inches or school buses and their power to stop your car. I tease them about theirs which is usually another women or some person in their childhood.

I suggest you practice this on bartenders or waitresses if you’re not comfortable doing it on dates. What others do might not work for you, what Midnightcity said self-depreciating is not easy to get away with for most men. I know this so the few times I use it’s very very light like when talking about sleep patterns. I had one of my current plates tell me she took naps in the evening before getting ready to go out to ensure she feels great, I told her I could never just take a 20 min nap because I usually feel and look like I got thrown down a flight of stairs if I do.
