Something I learned about interacting with girls today

[DoesntMatter]

I learned this on a conscious level today. Never EVER "set up" a girl for a joke. Do not create an opening where it is easy, or even slightly obvious, for a joke to be inserted by the girl

Most girls are not funny and guys (like myself) cannot very well pretend to think something is funny that is not. And when you do, you only encourage the girl to try to make more jokes, which will inevitably backfire horribly unless you interject before then. But the point is that you set her and yourself up for embarassment

I didn't learn this the "hard way" today but there was a situation where I was getting along I thought pretty well with a girl and I realized what was becoming of the situation, in a moment of great inspiration. And then I realized, that in the past, I have helped create some embarassing situations for girls and myself by not doing more to avoid those kinds of situations and by directing the conversation more myself

^Which is a more general theme of all this: It is good for the guy to more often than not direct the conversation and really give it some shape

I'm thinking about my friend Tanya, who walked into the kitchen at a restaurant we worked at once, long ago, and said, "Does it smell like fish in here or is it just me?"

And you thought girls weren't funny.

I filled out a survey for my school and earned $20 doing it. Only took me 30 minutes to fill it out.

I dunno, DM. Giga and misombra are pretty damn funny....

[bluesummer]

I know lots of really funny girls, DM.

Maybe you're just seeking humour from too many intellectual types.....they tend to be drier than the Sahara when it comes to humour.

I thought the commentary about the 50pc chicken bucket "Here or to go?" was hilarious. That was a woman, wasn't it?

"Do you think I'm actually gonna sit here and eat a 50-pc bucket?"

"I don't know your life." Shrug.

LOL, that *still* crack me up.

[Gribble]

I know lots of funny girls, too.

You know what I think it is? Teeny-boppers aren't very funny. They're boring, unoriginal, and caught up in a vacuous world of celebrity gossip and pop culture. Wait for the ones who grow out of that nonsense.

and I just learned that you're conceited.
Never actually thought that of you before.... hmmm, yes, you do learn something new every day.

Ease up out of my face bitch. You're acting like a typical woman, you get your panties all twisted up the second I say something non-complimentary about your gender

[Doc Durian]

All the most sought after men are generally conceited in some like or manner.

I, myself, am trying to embrace humility, of late.

I'm getting older and only want one or two roots per day.

Show your conceit, and your bone gets jumped on.

Modern women haven't changed all that much from their foremothers.

You're an idiot. Women aren't funny. Well as it seems- they are. The only common denomiator is yourself. You bring out the akward, non funnyness of the ladies.

The eternal phrase - "It's HIS fault, not mine! I'm a girl, so it's HIS fault."

[ecojeanne]

i have to agree with you DM (generalising about women) they are not as funny as the guys, having said that i have met many who are funny but they are definitely of a lesser proportion to men. irish guys are the funniest in my view having met many different cultures. they are not the best lookin guys (really most are ugg) so at least they have that going for them. coming second are the scottish, then english men and then aussies from my experience. does it have anything to do with testosterone? a lot of the stand up comediens that are women tend to be quite butch?!

[Mish]

How can anyone say women aren't funny in Giga's presence? She's like the funniest person on this entire forum.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the stars and tell me, what do you see?"

Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars."

Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?"

Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life."

And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."

For you young ones, who this might be new for:
