WARNING: True story ahead. This will help you attract women. Stop reading if you don’t want to learn how to get the woman of your dreams just by being funny.
I would like to tell you a story, the story of a boy who was not so handsome but was full of charisma, energy and the ability to make fun of himself. He had no problem letting it all come out, so karaoke was a regular event for him on weekend nights. One night this guy was having a blast, he wasn’t even looking for girls, he was just singing (bad, I must add) at the karaoke bar on the East Side of Manhattan and entertaining his friends. A beautiful Latin girl, one that you wouldn’t normally think of picking up, noticed it and showed her interest with some serious flirtation. She wasn’t surprised by his appearance, but she loved the fact that he enjoyed teasing himself on stage. There was something about the energy he brought with him. Soon they started talking, one thing led to another, and before he knew it he was in bed with this beautiful South American girl. Now they are talking about getting married.
And by the way, this story is completely true.
Guys, girls LOVE humor! No matter what survey, book, or magazine article you read, HUMOR is always considered one of the top things girls look for in a man. And think about it, if YOU were a girl, would you rather be with a boy who loves life and makes you laugh, or with a boy who may be more handsome but is really boring? Do not answer. Having a good sense of humor not only lights up your girl’s world, it lights up yours too.
I could talk all day about different ways to be funny (or “cocky funny,” as David DeAngelo recommends), but I’ll start with my favorite method:
1. Self-deprecation
You know how your parents told you not to care what people joke about you, just joke about you? Well, it works, and not just as a way to deflect the mockery. You can be liked by girls, even if they love you.
Hey, my last name is Brito. Sounds like Burritto, right? So growing up, they always called me Burritto. It bothered me at first, but once I started joking about it, even HUGGING the Burritto nickname, life got better. The schoolmates stopped calling me Burritto in a mocking way, but in a fun and friendly way. I realized that self-loathing has even greater rewards: By doing silly things like the worst “worm” you’ve ever seen on a dance floor or karaoke on stage, people would laugh and enjoy my company. They would invite me much more. And I would have fun. THAT is a winners game.
Sticking with the whole “Burritto” name, making fun of him, helped me make friends and girlfriends. “What is your name?” the girls ask. “James, but you can call me Burritto,” he would reply. “Burritto?” the girls would say laughing. “That is an interesting name.” And I guarantee that the conversation did not end there.
So, guys, learn to make fun of yourself. You will not only attract girls, but you will enjoy life more. Everything in life seems a little brighter, a little more “glass half full” when you learn to laugh, not only at other people, but also at yourself.
2. Observational humor. Hey, weird and funny things always happen. You might see a guy whose face resembles his dog’s, or a ridiculous-looking cat staring at you. If you can point these things out, you will appear sharp, witty, and full of fun.
3. Ingenuity. Nothing seems stronger than a guy who can tear his opponent apart, especially by using his own comments against him. It transmits intelligence, humor and power, all in one.
4. Exaggeration. Hey, be ridiculous. I got the girls’ phone numbers just by walking like a crab. Or sing a REALLY out of tune note. It depends on the type of girl you are looking for, if she is an ice queen I would not recommend it, but for fun and easy going girls, going overboard will make them laugh and want to be with you in the process. .
5. Cocky funny. This is the trademark of relationship guru David DeAngelo. The premise is that by doing cocky and funny acts like teasing a girl or slapping her hands, you show that you can live without her. Girls need you more than you need them, so to speak.
Personally, I don’t recommend this method, because it will really make you look like an idiot. If bumping into a girl on purpose or asking your friends how they can deal with someone as annoying as her fits your personality, go for it. Maybe you are a conceited idiot after all. But if it’s NOT you, don’t bother. Quotes should be about who you are, NOT who you are not.
There you go. Just as laughter is the best medicine, it is also one of the best aphrodisiacs. Use it and have fun!
