Guys funnier than girls - what do you think of this theory?

[Eternal_water]

I'm not being sexist or *****y here, its just a theory I've come up with and would like your opinions.

I don't think guys are genetically funnier than girls ie. Instantly born with a better sense of humour by luck. I think both genders are born with the exact same level sense of humour wise.

For the next bit, I'm not being *****y its just my theory.

When it comes to dating, girls have it easy, they don't have to do anything they get hit on by guys every day and can turn down whoever they want, they can choose whatever guy they want and have sex/a relationship with him.

If they want their ego's boosted even without any intention of making some guys night they can go to some club and have guys flattering them and buying their drinks for them all night long.

Guys on the other hand can not have whoever they want, guys have to play a numbers game and go through rejection after rejection time and time again before they find 1 girl even willing to give him her number, then loads more rejections before they get another number. Of those few numbers, some will be fake, some won't reply, some will brush the guy off, and fee will turn up for a date. Now some of those select few girls will stand the guy up and of those who turn up, not all will agree to a 2nd date.

Their is an extremely small percentage of guys who actually get hit on by girls, very small indeed. Guys generally can't count on looks to do the job for them.


Now humour is one of the biggest weapons a guy has for the art of seducing girls, therefore they are constantly using it, and the constant using of it = constant practicing it and as the saying goes practice makes perfect.


Girls can tell a joke and not get many laughs and the few laughs will be guys who are laughing for her looks, a guy can tell the exact same joke but can nail the delivery and get genuine laughter.



So girls have never needed to practise humour so they don't develop it much.

Guys do need to have humour so they are constantly using and developing it.


And as both get older the funnier the guy becomes than the girl.



Ok that is my theory, please try and remain objective as it was not born from sexism or bitterness.

The late great Christopher Hitchens wrote two essays in Salon magazine called “Why Women Aren’t Funny”, “Why Women Still Don’t Get It,” summarized in the Youtube video “Why Women Still Aren’t Funny,” which explains it all.

The basic rundown is women aren’t funny because they don’t have the need to be funny. The game is already won. We guys must be funny because of competition pressures. The only women who are genuinely funny are butch (masculine), lesbians (to swoon the ladies), and Jews (masculine culture).

Well thats basically what I said

I absolutely agree men as a whole are funnier. I agree with what's been said as far as women not having to do much to land a date so why go the distance and be funny.

I know a few women who might make me laugh from time to time, but none of them could measure up to the funniest men I know. not even close

then you throw attractiveness into the mix. the list gets smaller

i think lisa lampanelli is ****ing hilarious and can hang with the best of them. but can you find her equivalent in a girl with model looks? i haven't

I see this is a huge advantage for MEN...especially men on this site dedicated to the seduction of women. The vast majority of men that hit on women come with the same hyper-AFC game that repulses the very prize they covet. Women are so used to seeing men come buy them drinks and gawk at their perfect bodies that they generally expect us as men to be totally compliant with their sense of female entitlement. When you are able to separate yourself from the pack in a completely covert way, those same women will go nuts.

What amazes me is that after all the rejection men face they still believe they are doing things the "right way" by supplicating to the female and treating her like a princess. You know whose job it is to treat a woman like a princess? Her father. If you are contributing/commenting/perusing on this site you have taken a huge step in the right direction. The advantage becomes clear when you see other men fail and fail and fail with women in the same manner.

Your point on humor makes some sense. I have met my fair share of witty women though, too. I think all in all, keeping conversations playful and witty is a golden rule (regardless of the level of your humor). When women are turned on by a man they can be just as playful and funny.

I'd like to kind of hijack this thread and close with a point: women are bound by their emotions much more so than a man. We should all be grateful for this fact. What this means to me is that women are in a constant state of hypergamy--they are always seeking out the best and brightest. This means they are in a constant state of either emotional excitement (best case scenario for a man in which the woman believes she has found a man of high value but is still striving to attain him), emotional complacency (what happens when a woman and man become boyfriend a girlfriend with little/no excitement in the relationship), and emotional frustration (either the woman realizes she cannot attain the man of high value and settles for the beta OR the woman is in search mode for a man of high value). If you find yourself in a relationship with a woman, never be content. Once you are content and comfortable, things are on the decline. Show your value through: other women, hobbies, work, and creativity. In this way she will find herself questioning why such a don juan is still with her (she still strives to attain your approval).

Men do not have to deal with this emotional roller coaster if we wish not to. As men we can focus on work and have little to no attachment with women for an extended period of time. Men can take over the world and achieve higher status without the fear of not having a woman. In fact, I find that this is when most of the women come around. We can use our drive for something other than procreation, and this is VERY powerful.

Kind of an answer/rant to this thread....I dunno.

It is interesting how girls almost have to become masculine in order to be funny, and how it turns off men. Women love the verbal lacerations of sarcasm from men but it doesn’t work the other way around.

To quote Roissy:

Sarcasm is a leading indicator of low self esteem in a woman. It is a masculine manifestation driven by the ego that cannot coexist with the inner feminine driven by the heart. A girl who leans on the crutch of sarcasm to thrash her way through a conversation is hiding insecurities behind a phony facade of gritty toughness. She sees the world through a lens of negativity. Her first instinct is to doubt sincerity in others, because she is herself insincere in everything she says and does. When your date wallows in sarcastic “humor”, you will know you are dealing with a girl who is untrusting, manipulative, and incapable of being vulnerable around you. She is afraid you will see right through to her core being, and you will judge. Sarcasm shields her self-doubt from you.

Low self esteem + fear of vulnerability + sarcasm = typical urban woman.

It's not a theory it's a truth.

I knew one girl who actually was pretty funny and she did her honors thesis about gender and comedy.

One of her main conclusions was that most comedians employ the deprecation of the self and others. In both cases, women are harder to relate to. When girls deprecate themselves (Omg I'm so fat), everyone is up in arms to make her feel better. Has it ever been that way for men? Nope, they just laugh at the guy, and the guy is seen as insecure if he's upset about it.

Women have a dry sense of humor because they try too hard to be proper. (Unless she is bashing men, then the gloves come off. But that isn't humor.)

Men are more willing to be brutally honest and risqué, which makes for better humor.
