This is kinda complicated so I'll describe my question as detailed as I can.

I've been telling jokes/funny stories for as long as I've know myself...

Especially back in high school I used to tell a LOT of jokes. I literally know hundreds of them. I can go on all day.

Most people liked a lot that I made them laugh, and the others laughed at my expense. I didn't know better when I was in high school. Maybe that's why almost no one took me seriously back then.

Nearly a year ago when I learned about game and the difference between alpha males and AFCs I did major changes in my personality and behaviour.

Currently I do very well socially, get the results I want and I tell jokes very very rarely and only to close friends.

So, I want your view on this. Is being a comedian/clown a major DLV for you? Do you seem like some harmless clown that no once can take seriously.


Thanks in advance.

They are good, in moderation. I only occasionally tell jokes, but if you know a ton, and it fits into the convo, go ahead. Though 2 warnings:

Warning 1) you got to have something to back it up. If you have nothing besides the jokes, you get into trouble quickly, often being the "dancing monkey". If you're confident and are still an interesting conversationalist besides, you're in.

Warning 2) Don't use them as a crutch. Like routines, memorized material helps you get started, but if you continue using them over time you become more robotic, like MM'ers did in "The Game".

I've been into the theory of:
"laughing equals bonding". If they laugh and mean it they like you more. They can admire you for being smart, or because you release a certain emotion in them.

One joke will make the joke funny.
10 jokes will make you funny.

Still do you want to be the funny guy or more?

I think 1-3 jokes are good. Cocky n funny jokes are awesome because it shows you have a sense of humor AND it negs people a bit.

I say jokes are good, just make sure you have a reason apart from being funny to tell the joke.

That's my 2 cents, anyone else have opinions on this?

Hi, I need your female opinion on this...

Being funny is a good thing, people love to laugh and it is healthy as well. But it sounds like you haven't learn how to manage your funny side socially yet. By that I mean you have learn to when to use your jokes and how much to use them. As you can go overboard with them and it can cause the girl to loose interest if you tell too many jokes on the flip side not telling any or too few can also lose the girl.

I just want to mention that I NEVER tell jokes in-set when I'm sarging. Don't confuse jokes with teasing and cocky funny. There is a difference.

As long as you tell good jokes no one should care, dont be that guy that throws out joke after joke and gets no laughs and carries on

Why don't you tell jokes when you sarge? If you are good at them you should tell them, just keep tabs on your usage of them.

Beeing alpha is controlling the whole set. So if you have a good joke, in wich you can entertain the whole set. You will only be more alpha.

Just have a reason to tell the joke, like; bla bla bla, oh that reminds me of this joke, or just open all serious and let it turn out to be a joke.
You will get attention of the whole group +, and others will see a whole group looking and watching you. And laugh about you.

Telling (good) jokes are gold, just don't overload them with it.

I agree with zendelo.. Its always gd to tell jokes but dnt use them as ur routine! Otherwise the girls will be like 'ok y is this guy jst realin off these jokes' They wont take u serioulsy n treat u like dancing clown! I like to think i can be quite funny & i always try to mix in funny with cocky funny. This way u can get away with a lot more than u think..

if it's in the context of a conversation then it's great. if you can use a joke to make a point and it's coming perfectly naturally, then that's gonna make you look sharp and witty. just telling jokes at random makes you look too try-hard.
