#76 - Do you have a sense of humor?
The question was asked “If women are really interested in meeting a guy who will make them laugh, then why don’t they spend their time at comedy clubs and date a stand up comic? Most guys are not good comics.”
Actually this is a very good question! Several years ago I was frustrated by the same question. It is not uncommon to see women seeking someone that can make them laugh. I had met someone on line and during our conversation she was literally keeping count of the times that I made her laugh. Talk about pressure to perform! I failed miserably in her eyes and that was our first and last conversation. When I thought about the conversation later, it had nothing to do with whether I was funny or whether she was too critical. It had everything to do with the fact that we each have a different sense of humor. What is funny to me may not be to the next person and vise verse. For example, after more than 50 years, I still find Bugs Bunny and Road Runner funny cartoons. On the other hand, I have never found humor in Sponge Bob or The Simpsons yet millions of people enjoy these cartoons daily.
When a woman (or a man for that matter) is looking for someone to make her laugh, she is actually looking for someone that has a similar sense of humor. It is easy to laugh with someone that shares what you think is funny and it is easy for them to laugh with you. You don’t need to be a comedian. You don’t even need to put a lot of effort into being funny. Just be you. If the two of you have a common sense of humor she will find that a lot of what you say is amusing and she will laugh…maybe even a lot!
