I agree...I can be a really funny guy...like "LMAO I am peeing my pants" funny....but most of the times with girls I have recently met...I don't really use my funny material..yet they still laugh when I make comments...she is signaling me that she likes me.

If comedy was the way into a girls pants, clowns would be getting pussy non-stop.

You need to reframe what laughter is. It is not "haha" funny jokes.

Laughter is basically social acceptance, it is a way of saying "In case you were worried I thought what you said was weird, I'm going to laugh to show you it's cool".

Laughter comes naturally from being an attractive / alpha person, without trying to "be funny".

Think of laughter as the effect caused by being attractive, not as the cause of that attraction. So learning to make them "laugh" won't really work.

I wish I could be more sexual than humorous.

Usually for me, using metaphors, personifications, and hyperboles for comparison purposes of what you are saying can generate humor.

Also, delivery is important.

The last girl I hooked up with, she was laughing at stuff that wasn't even funny. It was nervous laughter, and I just rolled with it and pretended that she laughed at my jokes. Eventually I think she came to the conclusion that I'm a funny guy.

So the point is, if you're doing it right, girls will laugh in order to diffuse tension. You don't even have to be funny or try to be funny. You just have to play your part.

I am a very dry speaker

You can deliver funny lines with a dry tone and get a lot of laughs.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately myself. Try to stop thinking about things as they are, and start thinking about things the way they could be. If you can conjure up a ridiculous menal image about the way things could be, people will usually laugh at that.

I see laughter as showing other people your frame and your worldview.

The humor comes when people start seeing things your way and not the way that society has conditioned us to see things.

Never take life to serious, observe life in a light, manner all great comedians are just excentric personalities and observationalists. Were all on the same rollercoaster due to the same destination just enjoy what you have while you have it.

Put yourself in a cartoonlike world where weird things happen all the time. Use a lot of exageration and colorful language. Use absurdity and wordplay as well. Use your entire body and use funny voices to project characters.

You are dry person, just use dry humor.

Be yourself.
