Has anyone here ever been successful with a girl without making her laugh histerically? I'm no comedian, and my style of humor isn't shared by a whole lot of people. Is it possible to keep a girl interested that you don't make laugh all the time?
"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.
Success without being funny possible?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You don't have to be Chris Rock, just don't let her get bored with you.

Yeah. You don't have to make her "laugh" per se, you just have to keep her emotionally engaged.
If you lead your life and speak your thoughts freely, this will happen naturally.
I play a lot of physical games because I'm not really a comedian. You can make girls laugh in a lot of ways. If you're not laughing together, it's not because you're not a comedian, it's because something is frickin wrong. You're afraid to express your thoughts, afraid to make a move, something. Laugher should come naturally.

Nope sorry man, Comedians, clowns and pranksters are the only guys that ever have any success with women! That's why all those athletes and action-oriented guys are always looking so desperate.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
You don't have to be a comedian to score with chicks. Here's a lil' well-known secret: if a girl likes you, she'll usually find a reason to laugh at something you said, even if you're not trying to be funny. The reason they laugh is because being around you makes her feel good, and the way she expresses that good feeling you give her is to laugh.
With that said, always try to look for humor in everyday life. That way, when you tell stories to girls you can add funny insights that will make your stories more enjoyable.

You don't have to be anything but yourself. If you are not naturally funny, then don't be a try-hard or attempt to fake a personality. Be comfortable in your own skin, and don't do anything to try to impress women...just enjoy yourself with them.
You'll get more women being whatever way/personality you were born to be. If every guy had to be a certain way to get girls, we would all be the same and the world would be a very boring place.

I don't think you need to be a comedian to be able to crack a couple of jokes or say something quick witted. Don't go out of your way to do it though and you should still do fine. Though I believe if you can get a chick smiling what ever way you do it, you are halfway home.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
