Ok so I am generally not a talkative guy. This doesn't mean that I am quiet though. The conversations that I have with girls never have silence.

First things first: I know how to make girls laugh. I have just been confused over how much joking it takes for girls to think that I am funny/have a sense of humor. If being funny means making the set or girl laugh 1 to 5 times during our interaction, then I would be funny.

For a girl to think that you are funny, what does it generally consist of? Should I be making a girl laugh a few times when I am attracting her? Does being funny mean making her laugh hysterically?


When it comes to being funny, I do one of the following about 2-3 times during a pickup:

-Make a joke about the girl or situation. She will usually smile or hit me in a joking way.
-Make a totally pretend situation that a girl will laugh at for a few seconds (ex. a girl being my pretend wife).
-Exaggerating a statement that may make a girl smile or laugh. (ex. oh yeah they are SOOO sober tonight!)
-Do a funny gesture (ex. hold my head and shake it) that will the girl or group excited and smile trying to explain themselves.


Is this usually enough to be considered as "funny" to girls during our first interaction? Or is funny making girls laugh hysterically, constantly, etc.?

It may seem like I am trying too hard, but I really am not. I have the concepts down, however I just want to know how much I should be making a girl laugh to think "he's funny."



Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Mystery is the one who said that "If you make a girl laugh once or twice then she'll say 'oh that's funny' but when you make a girl laugh 20 times in a row she'll say he's funny"

Ask yourself what you think it takes to be funny. It's really just a matter of opinion but if you can make a girl laugh continuously throughout a conversation then your good. Just make sure you don't go overboard and start looking like a guy who can't be serious when necessary.

Nothing in pick up applies to all women. There's no such thing as rejection... they're just playing hard to get.

Lol I didn't even realize mystery said that.

The only issue towards why I asked is what you stated. I want to be thought of as the cute guy, not the comedian/dancing monkey/clown.

I feel like I should be joking only a few times because I would be overly talkative if I was always trying to make jokes, etc.

That statement by mystery about making a girl laugh 20 times is a bit much you think? If you're picking a girl up and it takes approx. 15-30 minutes, thats almost making a joke once a minute. If I was making a girl laugh, it would probably be once every 10-15 minutes. I think that would maybe be more realistic.

Be funny while in set. Thats DHV.. (as long as your not lowering yourself like a clown(

Dont be funny in isolation... (if your doing good she will be smiling anyways
as your creating sexual tention/building comfort.)

Then there is always the aspect of making the girls or girl your are talking to funny.
When they do some lame joke, ad a punch line... when everybody is laughing:
"You guys are really funny. I hate up-tight people"
(This is pure gold btw. Make someone funny/interesting/sexy/spontainus and they
will love you for it)

You need to remember one thing, unless you wish to fool yourself. I will illustrate this with a personal example of mine:

I banged this girl from the local uni in my town after picking her up at some work conference. I'm not a very 'funny' guy per se. I can't make good jokes. But I'm very good at having 'fun' and making 'fun' with a girl.

Anyway, back to the girl at the conference. In short, I never, ever made her laugh. I just ran indirect game on her. After I banged her she told me one day how she was explaining to her friend why she liked me. She said I was really funny.

I am not a funny guy. I didn't make any good jokes. I didn't really make her laugh.

You have to understand that girls will rationalize why they like you with many generic, socially-acceptable standards, such as 'he has a good sense of humour' (an HB8 told me this once who was really attracted to me through social proof and opener. I replied to her - no you don't, you just like a guy who turns you on. She blushed as she realised this was true).

But in actual fact they don't really care.

So, in summary - I know this is slightly besides what you are getting at, but I wanted to put this out there - you don't need to be able to be funny to pickup. Although I expect it helps. I dunno, I'm not a funny guy...hehe...wish I was though, funny people make me laugh...well...is it that I like, or the feeling I get from laughing....hmmmmmmmmm...

What you're doing is perfectly fine, I wouldn't change it.



Other than this...
You don't want to be doing/thinking this.

It will likely come across in subcommunications as 'hey guys I want you to find me funny'. Or as I'm sure it's been suggested, you'll be setting your role as 'mr funny guy'.



You wanna share emotions with them. You also want to take risks.

Being funny is one way to share emotions, but not so much of a risk. I think it seems you said you can tease them a bit, but I think it would be wise to instead of going for 'funny', go for 'cheeky/wind-up'.

Or all three.



Before I go off on one, I'm going to ask, what is it you wish to achieve by being seen as 'funny'?

Agreed with you guys. I think at a social standpoint, it would not be a problem to make a girl laugh every so often if she is having fun. If a girl made me laugh a few times, I would probably think she was funny.

So, if I make a girl laugh even once or twice, she will probably think I am funny, or at least have a good time. If a girl thinks that we are having a good time, that is one of my main goals. I want her to think of me as "fun" for the next time I ask her to hang out.

I guess this would be true. As long as I make a girl have fun, she would probably view me as a guy with a good sense of humor.

By being funny, I want a boost to my interactions with girls. Being funny would just allow me to be viewed as a guy with a better personality. Through this aspect of my game, I would like a girl to think that I am a fun guy, not necessarily a comedian.



Thanks!

Being funny is something that you draw internally, and only works when you're truly in the moment. Usually something completely unexpected and that you JUST thought off, organically. usually there's only that small 2 second window that you have to say __________ for it to be funny

I've tried saying things that i've read, that were funny at the time, but in that moment it was awkward as hell. Making her laugh takes her mind off logical thinking and switches it to emotional... the wavelength you want to communicate on.

i recommend "comedy writing secrets" by Helitzer...its like THE comedy book and has exerps from all kinds of famous comedians. It helps to know what makes something funny, and all the different variables involved. In fact, im about to read it again (its been like 2 years)

the girl would never have to laugh and she could still think your funny. she can rationalize your funny and assign you that positive trait w/o ever telling a joke. Its a woman's perception. People assign people traits before they ever even meet them based on their looks alone, a persons energy when they meet them could also assign this funny trait.

Another look at this though and it could be said a woman thinks, I mean feels your funny when she starts to laugh at stuff that the guy says that was not funny at all she is just interested and vibing.

Also keep in mind woman funny and man funny are not the same thing, but I bet you new that

Rafiel pretty much nailed it.

It doesn't hurt to be funny. But funny doesn't get you there.

What gets you there is she being hot for you. Then they'll rationalize why they like you to be socially acceptable.

If you want to be funny, be funny spontaneous when opportunity appears. But don't be the clown.

BTW... Mehow is the funniest PUA in my opinion. Watch him infield and you get tons of material.

I know how to BE funny I was just wondering how often, should I be funny. I am convinced that it does not take a huge amount or work for a girl to think that you are funny/have fun.

In some of Mehow's videos, I thought he was a funny guy. He made me smile enough to go back and see how he was being funny. Odd enough, he wasn't even making jokes! He just gave off a vibe that made the chicks on his videos (and myself :s) smile for some reason.


I realized that if you are making a girl have fun, she will become attracted. Making jokes and being funny are just a good tools to use at your discretion to ensure that a girl or group of girls will be having fun.

in the begining you can make some jokes. depending on the topics you're talking about. and it's a good thing. because it creates a great energy. witch is a good thing ;)

when you're start building rapport i would make less jokes. this way she will feel more connection between you 2.

when you're closing you can put in a joke. to keep the presure of the close as light as possible. so she can feel comfortble with it.


it also depends on the girls ofcourse. ofcourse all the girls love humor. but you should look witch kind of humor works best. situational, dry humor, ... you name it.
(ex: some girls are just not smart enuff to understand intelectual jokes.)
