I dont get how to become funnier. I dont want you guys to tell me practice makes perfect, because it dousn't. Look at all the comedians that stuck at it, and in the end they weren't funny in fact they were NOT funny. You guys say watch comedy and stand up. I rented everything i thought was funny and spent hours watching it, and i can honestly say no improvement. I tried to not be funny, and i the same results. The best advice was be honest some things you think will make others laugh, but i dont know how to improve at being funny. I was hoping you guys can help me with this.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Being funny isn't about 'learning' other peoples techniques, it's a 'feeling' that you have, some people are just funny because it's the way they are! what you really have to do is find out what type of personality you have and get the best out of it.
what you can try is be more relaxed about things, dont take life too seriously, be honest about who you are and your abilities.
sometimes I can be in a funny mood and sometimes in a boring mood, it's how you feel at the end of the day.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
For starters, learn what irony means.Rint said:Yea i dont care i just want advice.

I actually have a similar problem. Alot of people think I'm funny, more then a few have suggested I do stand up comedy, but the problem is, I can't be funny on purpose.
If I tell a joke 99% of the time it falls flat. It actually drives me nuts, I've gotten people to crack up, but not on purpose, I can't see to find the damn on/off switch for humor. Somehow when it happends, it just well... flows.

exactly. dont sit there and try to be funny. cracking jokes at every little thing gets old after awhile. just live life and say wat u feel. enjoy urself. when having fun u should focus on entertaining urself, and most times people will catch on and entertain themselves right with u. if u focus on trying to entertain everyone else u will never get anywhere. it is not your job to be their personal clown. be your own personal clown.ExploringOne said:I actually have a similar problem.

people will catch on if u sit there and try too hard to be funny, and then they will think u are not funny.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
