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

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.

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

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
