Women Aren't Funny...

[all the whey]

i believe nefertittis on to something here (as usual). plus, she has laughed at my stuff. which makes her brilliant IMO

I agree!

1. nerf is actually smart enough to understand a good joke.

2. nerf is laid back enough to not get upset about stereo typical jokes about broad subjects. (even though she is a broad)

3. nerf has excellent form.

Name the last time you dated a wiminz that made you laugh all the time? Now, how many women have you dated that expected you to entertain them most of the time? In my thirty six years wiminz have made it clear that my good looks and personality(making them laugh) are why they fell for me. They're actually turned off by my intelligence. Initially, they love the fact I'm smart but when they realize I'm smarter than they are...wiminz still want to be the smart one.

I know a hysterically funny woman from college, whose brilliant, and just got engaged. So, there's at least one guy out there laughing his ass off nightly.

I didn't look at the clip or read past the first page but on average yeah,many women aren't funny and don't have to be the entertainer so to speak. As men we get a lot more practice and feel like humor enhances our chances of getting laid so we develop that skill.

however between friends and certain girls I've dated some of them are hilarious. What they all seem to have in common is they're a "guys girl" and they kind of grew into that mindset of comedy. Its rare but I love chicks who are funny or can at least stand toe to toe with ballbusting or sarcasm.

Oh well, can't find it...I guess I'll try and type it out again.

Why women are not funny, according to Nef:

1) Being funny is a learned activity, as well as a talent. But that talent has to be nurtured early on in life. learning what is funny and what isn't means throwing out some duds and risking your joke falling completely flat. Men are known to be bigger risk takers, and humor is a much more integral part of how men bond with other men than it is in that of relationships between women. So they not only have more incentive to take the risks to "learn" what gets people to laugh, but they ahve less fear of the risk.

2) ATW already hit on this point, but it's true. if you accept that one learns to be funny through feedback, you're going to have a lot of women who have guys laughing to humor them or to try and get them into bed, thus they think they are getting genuine positive feedback, but they are not. So even when the dud is getting thrown out there, she's not learning that THAT particular thing was not funny - reinforcing her lame sense of humor.

3) Finally, the worst thing, in my opinion, is women who try to be funny in the same way that men are funny. Hearing a women make jokes about smelly balls is just not really going to be funny. The kind of humor I laugh at the most is the kind I can relate to in some way. I can't relate to Sarah Silverman making jokes about smelly balls. Neither can a guy, because it's coming from the mouth of a pretty female. There's something inherently incongruent about it.


That said...I have laughed at both Stilleto and Smurfy. I think some women are funny...it's just not biologically necessary for us to develop that skill, so less do it.

damn you, maybe i should have read this entire thread. thats on point

 

[stilleto]

nef is right.... smuffy and i ARE funny.

I'm pretty sure V has a sense of humor...she has her shit together from what I've been told.
