D-Lish Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 when was the last time you heard a woman attempt to make a joke? In the mirror this morning actually- but she was so pretty I didn't pay attention to what she was saying.
calizaggy Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 when was the last time you heard a woman attempt to make a joke? LOL, good point.. I also feel women are simply less competitive. Men are always pushing themselves to do things better, faster, etc, and with jokes they push themselves mentally to be funnier than the other guy. Women simply do not care to be funny, and men do not care if they are either.. I told one girl i thought she was funny, and I think she was insulted..She wanted to be sexy/beautiful, not funny.
xxoo Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Seriously , when is the last time you ever heard a woman tell a joke correctly.. (not a handful of professional comedians) . when was the last time you heard a woman attempt to make a joke? Good lord, this is bleak. Maybe you guys just put women in a bad mood? I told one girl i thought she was funny, and I think she was insulted..She wanted to be sexy/beautiful, not funny. Ok, cali, you may have a point here. It takes confidence to be funny. Truly sexy women aren't concerned with being sexy; they just are. The same is true for sexy men. If you are overly concerned with how you appear, it is difficult to be funny. Maybe that is why women experience other women as funny, when men don't experience women as funny? Because the women are more comfortable among other women? Try meeting women less concerned with appearance and see what kind of humor you find.
Twenty-ten Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Another thing is, and I have experienced this, is if a woman jokes around too much some men think they are trying to flirt with them. This could intimidate women to be too forthright and jokey in front of men they don't know well.
xxoo Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Another thing is, and I have experienced this, is if a woman jokes around too much some men think they are trying to flirt with them. Yes! A thousand times, yes. Sometimes we have to tone it down, or men think we are interested. And, we aren't.
Author St. Nick Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Hi, it's the OP. I just came back. I wanted to tell the poster that asked why I don't just "go gay" is because I am not physically attracted to men. Another thing is, and I have experienced this, is if a woman jokes around too much some men think they are trying to flirt with them. This could intimidate women to be too forthright and jokey in front of men they don't know well. How about when women are attracted to men? How come they don't tell jokes then? And how about after getting into relationships, why not jokes with your boyfriends?
Pink Cupcakes Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I think you might be more attracted to men than you think. You appreciate qualities of men, and criticize qualities of women. I think you are gay...open your heart and your mind to the same sex since they are so much better and you love their qualities more.
Twenty-ten Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I do all the time. Most women do. I think you need to actually start dating women and you will see.
Pink Cupcakes Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'm not interested in dating women. Unlike St. Nick, I appreciate the qualities of the opposite sex. He doesn't and he needs to explore his true sexuality.
Author St. Nick Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Pink Cupcake, were you just seriously waiting for me to answer your question the whole time? It's kinda strange that you just posted a few minutes after my own. I have the strange feeling that you've been spending your time on this thread repeatedly hitting "refresh" just so you could post a response to my comment. If that's the case then that means you are really, really lame. In any case, if you can't make any argument to the thread topic other than taking jabs at the OP then that shows you have nothing to contribute. So why are you still here? I do all the time. Most women do. I think you need to actually start dating women and you will see. But before you said that you don't like to crack jokes because they were gay. However, now you're saying that you do. Looks like someone's caught in a lie. Oops. That's kind of true. I think telling jokes is kind of gay anyway. I'd rather have my own thoughts and observations not become a good story teller for someone else's anecdotes.
teamzissou00 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 This thread is hilarious. And there's a lot of truth in it. Especially the bit about girls texting you crap like "I'm bored" and expecting you to create the conversation. I think a part of it is, women have all the power. If a girl is attractive and the guy isn't gay, there's always going to be an underlying truth that both parties know: the guy wants to bang the girl, and he wants to bang her more than she does him. At least 98% of the time. So what incentive is there for her to try and be funny? It takes effort. All she has to do is give him a modest amount of attention and her work is done.
Twenty-ten Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 "A Polish guy, an Italian and a Rabbi walk into a bar..." that I don't bother doing. That's telling jokes. Joking around is texting my guy hip hop rhymes I make up battling it out on text, until he picks up the phone laughing and calls me and tells me I killed it today. We both work white collar corporate jobs which makes it even funnier that we talk in hip hop street lingo to say mundane daily stuff. That I do. So no lies. ?
Pink Cupcakes Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Wow, awfully defensive, St. Nick. There is no shame in that you're gay. I am not taking potshots - there is absolutely no shame in being a homosexual. I just want you to admit it and be true to yourself because you're not fooling anyone. Don't stay on here too long - you'll miss Ryan Seacrest on Idol.
Author St. Nick Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Wow, awfully defensive, St. Nick. There is no shame in that you're gay. I am not taking potshots - there is absolutely no shame in being a homosexual. I just want you to admit it and be true to yourself because you're not fooling anyone. Don't stay on here too long - you'll miss Ryan Seacrest on Idol. Is this really what you want to do, spend time bickering back and forth about whether I'm gay or not? Because if it is then I really don't have the patience for it. If I admitted I was gay, would that somehow make women funny? Would that mean I'd stop having to deal with women? Lotta gay guys have female friends, and if I was gay then I'd like a funny female friend. Would a gay guy be just as able to find a funny female friend as a heterosexual male? Hope you know that what you're suggesting is offensive. You're saying if men have problems with women then he should be gay. Thus, you're implying that many gay guys are homosexual because they are antagonistic toward women, and not because they were born gay. Now I'm not offended by that, but as ENEMA said a while back, suggesting that it's easy to "go gay" like a snap and not because you're born like it is offensive to most gay people. You better hope some poster doesn't find what you've typed offensive and reports you. In any case, I'm not gonna bicker with you about it. If you can't bring anything relevant to the thread then I just won't respond to your posts.
Twenty-ten Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 So what incentive is there for her to try and be funny? . To see the man she loves laugh. The sharing of humour can be quite a bonding experience.
Pink Cupcakes Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Wow, St. Nick. You really are angry there, St. Nick. I think, no I KNOW, that all that inner anger is there because you are hiding who you are...masking it and posting on a board. Sorry, I can see right through you. IDOL is on. Don't miss it. Let your anger go and embrace your homosexuality.
Taramere Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 most women don't seem to "get" any of the best made humour. their idea of funny is when their girlfriend gets a run in her pantyhose. What is there to "get" with Monty Python? Surely to God anyone who likes a touch of the surreal in their humour would be driven to distraction by the Monty Pythonesque overuse of it. "Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries. Haw haw haw! How completely different! Thirty five years later, and it still reduces me to convulsions every time. More Chardo, Charles? (tinkle of glasses)?" Monty Python was always just the British establishment rebelling against itself in a cosy, unthreatening sort of way. I can imagine Prince Edward chortling away while watching old Monty Python clips. Edit: was that Borat or Bruno? Now I can't remember. Borat. Even though I liked Ali G, I didn't bother to go and see Borat when it came out. I just wasn't interested, for some reason. I think perhaps it was the promotional pics with the mankini. When I did finally watch it, I was literally in tears of laughter. I wish I'd taken an interest when the film was topical.
bayouboi Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Is this really what you want to do, spend time bickering back and forth about whether I'm gay or not? I think "she's" just playing into the stereotypes of what some people in this thread said that women do for their sense of humor which is sarcasm or belittling type of humor.
donnamaybe Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 girls I have dated find me to be very funny. I'm sure they do! LMAO!!!
donnamaybe Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 See, yet I find myself laughing at what you post often, and I am absolutely certain you don't even mean to be funny. I am RIGHT with ya there, sistuh! Hmmm about being very funny with the women you date....I dunnow about that.... Reason I say this is because I've read quite a few of your posts, you're a one trick pony in terms of the comments you make about women. I seriously doubt that a person with that narrow of a range when it comes to looking at life has the creativity to see the world in a way that even resembles something humorous. Ya think?
donnamaybe Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 most women don't seem to "get" any of the best made humour. their idea of funny is when their girlfriend gets a run in her pantyhose. You don't know women very well do you? There's yer trouble!
donnamaybe Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 when was the last time you heard a woman attempt to make a joke? Correction - when did a woman hang around long enough for him to hear her say ANYTHING?
Jersey Shortie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 You know what I was just thinking. If women were not funny, this thread wouldn't have even been started. I think some men see humour as a male trait and feel insecure if women try to take that one last male visage. However, some men are perfectly comfy with witty women.

I think some men see humour as a male trait and feel insecure if women try to take that one last male visage. However, some men are perfectly comfy with witty women. I think that some of them are probably thinking of humour in terms of a noisy, extraverted man holding court at a dinner party. In that situation, wit and originality matters less than confidence and a loud voice. Consider the men on this board who tend to attract most favourable commentary with regard to their sense of humour. I'm not going to name names because it wouldn't be fair...but they tend to be men who have a fairly sarcastic and subversive approach. I would imagine that these are not men who would hold court noisily at the dinner party, but if you wanted someone to produce material for a comedian those are the guys you would go to. I'd say the same with regard to some of the female posters here, whose stuff I like reading. For men who are competitive and concerned with attaining some kind of alphamale status (the "funny" label being part of this) it would be beyond contemplation that quieter men (and women) might be more gifted in terms of their ability to create original and funny material.

In that situation, wit and originality matters less than confidence and a loud voice. Good point. My SO's mom's husband started doing stand-up a few years ago as a side job, and at gatherings you can always hear his booming voice reciting jokes he already has stored in his head. Sometimes they're kind of funny, and sometimes they're kind of lame, but it's always obvious that he's thought about it before and that it isn't spontaneous. My SO on the other hand has a quick wit and naturally makes jokes, and when it makes everyone laugh, you can tell that it sometimes pisses the other guy off.
