3 Surefire Ways to Develop Your Sense of Humor
You’ve probably heard this a million times: Sense of humor! Make her laugh and you got’er! Be funny!
Everyone talks about it but very few people know how to be truly funny. You know why? Because they don’t take this… seriously!
Making girls laugh is just like any other skill: you need discipline and you need to keep at it until you get awesome results.
Now I know what you’re thinking: what are some of the best ways to improve my skills? And that’s a fantastic question. You see, it’s not just about being funny, it’s about not losing your status as well. You don’t want to be a clown or needy or anything else that will turn a woman off.
Now, I can’t just give you hundreds of funny things to say (though, on occasion, you WILL encounter things that are so funny that you want to remember).
So let’s dive right in, shall we, with the best ways to learn humor and how to be funny.
#1 Stand-up comedy
This is by far the best way to learn comedy. Stand-up comedians are masters at conveying social status through humor, which is exactly what you want. Study them carefully, take notes if you have to.
Artists such as Chris Rock, DeRay Davis, George Carlin or Bill Burr are masters of humor. Just type in their names into YouTube and you’ll find lots of clips from their shows. Check out this awesome piece by DeRay Davis on Valentine’s Day:
And how about Bill Burr?
Watch as many of them as you can and, try to remember 1 or 2 of your favorite jokes. Relationship related, of course. You’ll end up liking some of them better than others, which is a fantastic indicator of how your inner sense of humor is.
And if you can remember 1 or 2 jokes that you can tell to women when you’re out on your next date, that’s even better. Don’t worry about not being original at first. You can just be honest and tell her you’ve seen this joke in a stand-up comedy show and she’ll be more than fine with it.
#2 Use your imagination
Relying on other people’s jokes is obviously not a good idea. It’s a good idea to be more in tune with your funny side, but what you want to do long term is come up with your own jokes.
And the way to do that is – you guessed it: use your brain.
Guys who are funny see humor everywhere. Even in the simplest things. A glass of water can be funny. A pigeon can be funny. Anything can be funny, as long as you know how to look at it… you need the right perspective on things.
In short, you’ll want to…
- Pay attention to details. Only by focusing yourself on the little things that surround you. Just stop for a moment and look at whatever’s in front of you. Notice the color, the texture, the curves. This simple exercise is crucial to developing your sense of humor.
- Make associations. Being funny is all about making associations that are physically impossible. Then all you have to do is take things further and exaggerate those associations beyond proportion.
#3 Screw up… and don’t care!
No matter how good you’ll be at this, you’ll always screw up from time to time. More in the beginning, then less and less as you gain experience. The thing to remember is that, unless you’re really offensive to people, you shouldn’t get discouraged and stop just because one of your jokes missed the mark. You’ll get better in time, I promise.
Keep on keeping on and make sure you learn from every experience. If they didn’t’ like it ask yourself why. Was it the delivery? Was it the words? The more questions you ask, the more refined your jokes will be. While you should never lose your self-confidence just because you screwed up, you still want to make it a goal to make people laugh uncontrollably every time you make a joke.
