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.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Mystery that is becoming funny? A puzzle i want solved

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.

Thoughts on being funny
It's more about finding your style and letting the humor come from that rather than memorizing a ton of jokes.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
