Men consistently tell me how shocked they are that I’m so funny and smart... bc how can an attractive woman be funny and smart... I know so many beautiful funny intelligent women. why do people act like we’re so rare??? It’s rare for men to have even 1 of the three traits 🤦🏻‍♀️

C_Haggy · 2020-12-14T07:31:22+00:00

Funny is a personality trait, and men hate women with personalities. They prefer a sexxxy vacant vessel who will bend to their will.

They know that women often have personalities, but that means nothing to them as long as you're hot. A hot woman isn't more attractive to a man if she has a good personality. But if a woman has a bad personality, then he loses some interest in her.

So, an ideal woman is a sexxxy thang with no personality, because no personality = no bad personality, while men don't consider lack of a good personality to be a drawback. (probably could have worded that better, but I swear it makes sense)

Also, 90% of men have absolutely no personality to speak of, so a woman who can land a single joke intimidates the hell out of them.

OH MY GOD YES! WHY THE HELL THIS HAPPENS THOUGH?

Why are men so obsessed with being funny? I get it, it’s a perk, a party trick or whatever, but every guy I’ve ever met is INSISTENT that HE is the funniest person alive, and it’s like a huge contest to best anyone and everyone else in that department. I had one guy get extremely jealous that I went to see a stand up comedian, for example. Sulking about how “he’s not actually that funny”. Uh, yeah, he’s fucking hilarious, and that doesn’t mean you’re somehow unfunny? What is the logic? Why do men NEED to be not only funny, but the only one; the funniest?

One of my ex’s said it was hard to find funny women, yet my cousin, BFF, and I all outdid his ass every time lol he acknowledged it & admitted defeat too lol Said that just when he thought he’d raise the bar, we would go higher. It’s nice bringing men down a peg when they think they’re better at everything.

monatsiya · 2020-12-14T03:09:06+00:00

and they try to one up literally any joke you make? it starts to get embarrassing at some point

2020-12-14T10:26:57+00:00

I made a hilarious joke once and this guy's face went SERIOUS. He later admitted is was really good.

He was trying to get in my pants at the time and was trying everything, like everything I was good at he tried to one-up me. But his jokes usually fell flat, so when I delivered my one-liner he felt defeated.

What an absolute loser.

Instead of connecting with women and laughing at our good jokes, they try to compete.

Men don’t like funny women, they like women who think THEY are funny. Men that say they like smart women usually mean they like a woman smart enough to realize how smart he is. They can’t handle a woman being smarter than him, funnier than him, more successful than him, etc. These men don’t actually like women, just just view women as a tool for their ego.

AmazonArtemis · 2020-12-14T02:26:42+00:00

My ex used to steal my little one-liners and quips for his Twitter account lmfao 🤪😂

RhiannonEmilia · 2020-12-14T03:50:10+00:00

And then they’re an asshole to you lol. How embarrassing to act in such a way 😂

2020-12-14T06:54:09+00:00

Happens to me all the time. What I found out from OLD is that men aren't funny and women are hilarious

spicyspa · 2020-12-14T12:20:22+00:00

OMG my last boyfriend had such a hard time with my personality. He chose me because of my personality because I was outgoing and funny. But when I was actually with him he was always jealous and felt it was unfair that I was the way I was and he tried to be the way I was. The man's in his 50s. However I didn't choose him because he was just like me I was fine that he was mellower and more laconic. It was as though he felt I was being the way I was just to prove something and make him feel insecure. Oh well.

Damn straight!

Sounds like me! I’m actually a clown, smart and beautiful. I love seeing them be intimidated because they thought THEY were the prize. You aren’t mate.

My Ex was always claiming to be funny. In fact when I ran across his profiles on dating sites he bragged about how "I can make you laugh".

The thing was he was always using jokes from famous comedians and I honestly think he was delusional that they weren't his own thoughts. I'm familiar with a lot of stand up and would be like :/.

And of course, one of the only traits of mine I will brag on is that I'm legitimately hilarious. Not "sarcasm" but I have a well developed sense of funny due to a rough job I worked for years (common cope). I could tell it bothered him I was actually the funny one while he regurgitated stand up specials and labeled it a good sense of humor.

The first time I came out of my shell was a at youth group, I started cracking jokes and everyone was laughing. My brother called me over and said that I was going home and that so and so was dropping me off; I asked if he was staying and he said yes. He sent me home because I was being eccentric.

thinktwiceorelse · 2020-12-14T19:34:10+00:00

The funniest thing is they accidentaly laugh sometimes and mask it as a cough because apparently it's forbidden to laugh when we're funny.

Arcaii · 2020-12-14T23:42:07+00:00

Kind of irrelevant, but I read this study that took clips of women making jokes and lowered the pitch so they sounded like men. At first, people perceived it as being less funny when they sounded like women. Then, all the sudden it was funny when they had the voice of a man. Weird how that works.

In my experience men just kind of tune our jokes out because they already brainwashed themselves into thinking we aren't funny. And they do this because by admitting we're as funny as them is admitting we're just as witty and smart, which they'll never do. They made their minds up before we even open our mouths.

I had a friend in high school and college who could make any woman laugh so hard they started tearing up, but men were just blank faced or pretended like it wasn't even a joke. Maybe they smiled a little bit.

This girl is hilarious, but only to women. Men have literally told her she isn't funny. Which is such a fucking lie.

For me, I can only make men laugh if they've known me for awhile. Before 6 months they tune it all out. I know men think that if they aren't laughing, it's not funny. Even if women say it is. To hell with what we think I guess. So, if you're making men laugh you must have a golden sense of humor because it's a hard thing to do for sure.

Lol this has never happened to me, they just ghost after.

if11bravehawk · 2020-12-14T18:48:56+00:00

It's not just being funny... It's also when you're smarter than him and more charming than him, or when other people like you more than him They cannot handle it

4BigData · 2020-12-14T19:57:41+00:00

What about men's "Oh no, you are too smart" when making the best joke on them.

smaller_ang · 2020-12-15T05:50:07+00:00

👏👏👏 Then, after they realize this, watch them try not to react to the funny shit you say. Watch them try to bulldoze the joke you just made with a lamer version of it.
