Making girls laugh - gets me nowhere!

Hey all,

I’ve been noticing the number of girls I meet who all say that I ‘make them laugh’ and that I’m ‘really funny’ and they say this without me trying particularly so I take it as a massive compliment obviously I know it’s a generalisation but girls keep saying that making them laugh is a big turn on but it doesn’t seem to help me succeed with the ladies at all!

I get on really well with most girls at college but getting close enough to one to get together seems impossible! All my girlfriends in the past have not been at my college, they’re either drop-outs or go somewhere crap and couldn’t care less about education and I’ve wanted a somewhat intelligent and sophisticated girlfriend for some time.

Anybody have a theory about my predicament or experienced the same useless results of being a ‘really funny guy’?!

Thanks. :biggrin:

hehe love the ':biggrin:'' at the end. most girls love a guy with a great sense of humour. so i'd say be your normal self and don't change who you are, as someone will eventually fall for you :biggrin:

Thanks, I don't particularly intend to change myself at all as I'm quite happy with life in general but as 'imtired' said - it seems like I only get into the friend zone. Argh this is so annoying LOL! :mad:

It depends what kind of funny you are. If people see you as a joke, or immature, they probably wouldn't think you were emotional or sincere enough to have a proper relationship. That's just my theory, though.

I see what you mean but as I said, I don't try and be funny at all and I certainly don't act stupid or make immature jokes! It's just I'm constantly seen as 'friend' material only by any girl with half a brain - should I just give up and get together with my last girlfriend who looks quite good and has a warm personality, but doesn't have a clue who Obama is and can't spell words with more than 3 letters?

This is a serious question by the way!

There's no friend zone man.

You're probably doing something wrong that you're unaware of. Most people like funny guys anyway so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
yeah its a lie women tell to ugly men to make them feel better/less shallow. way of the world i'm afraid mayn.

Yup.

Oh, sorry. Were you expecting more?
Presuming your not disfigured in any way I reckon there is no problem. You've not asked a girl out (have you) so maybe they can't get enough you but waiting for you to make a move.
the sense of humour being key to their pants thing is ********. you need to be an asshole with a pastel shade shirt. popped collar ******. one of those *****. piss **** ********.

hey guess what im in a great mood about relationships!

Hey man, you need to lower your standards and get yourself some easy pussy so that you become the STUD. And then you can lure the innocent AAAAAAA students into your life with your lustful ways.

Then you'll get the cultured beauty :wink:.

Good luck man.

slip in insistent flirtatious jokes, they'll take the hint if they interested, i used to have a similar problem, i never was really outrageously funny, just that i dint really take it further than makin em flutter the lashes at me, but thers a further step you need to take to makin them get ideas about you, or serious insistence about your personality or just say in some way what your issue is, telling them will get their imagination flowing, trust, and youll be getting some very soon...

It's because you know them. You're funny and officially friend-zoned. You ain't going no where.

Basically, you have to pull from outside the 'circle'. Try that, player. You'll be the funny lover then.
