If You Don’t Learn How To Be Funny, Your Social Life Will Suffer



Learning how to be funny is a very difficult process... If you learn from the wrong sources.



I blurred out the covers for privacy. I purchased these 3 different how to be funny guides a few years ago and got no where trying to improve my wit.

I studied them, practiced for months & experienced a lot of this.

"Uhhh... Okay... Anyways... (change topic)"

That’s embarrassing, especially when it happens around large groups of people.

Below is my CRAZY story. If you just want to go straight to what made me a social machine who's been attracting ladies & meeting really fun people, check out these guides which taught me how to be funny.

Develop Your Sense Of Humor

Using Comedy In Social Settings



Many years ago while growing up, I experienced the harshest behavior from classmates.

These were a few reasons why.

  • I was too quiet & shy
  • Walked with a limp
  • Teeth were spaced out – I looked like a beaver
  • Bad case of acne

I went through MANY years of this. It was tough. At times I felt like putting my own life away so I didn't have to suffer any longer.

This dragged on for years. All thanks to this, I lived most of my life with a negative mindset.

As I got older I remained the same. I had some friends but majority of the time it was hard to tell. Sometimes they were my friend & others they'd pick on me. I never understood why at the time.

Now that I look back, it's easy to figure out.

I was never able to defend myself!

Yes, people who can't defend themselves are usually picked on. The problem back then was my parents told me to never cause problems. Always keep your mouth shut. I followed their advice most of the time.

When I wanted to defend myself, my brain was always blank. There was no creativity & was never able to think of a comeback. This dragged on for years.

Being made fun of throughout life made me a very shy person who couldn’t stand up for myself. I had a hard time being social.

When friends invited me somewhere, I always got nervous and made some non-believable excuse as to why I couldn’t go.

In 1999 I learned what style was about. I started gelling my hair.

Once grade 12 (final year of high school) started, people couldn’t believe how much I changed over the summer. I laughed because all I did was gel my hair.

The strangest thing is I experienced something completely new. Women were checking me out like crazy and that included the hot new students.

I freaked out!

I remember a time in that year when the most popular/hottest girl of the entire school liked me & even stocked me on ICQ.

Do you remember ICQ?

I had no clue how to handle the situation so I kept saying “It’s not you!” and I pretty much ignored her.

This happened because I never developed any social skills. Most Saturday nights back then I spent at home on the internet. That was a big mistake.

Deep down in all scenarios (college, bar, work, etc.) I was too nervous to speak with anyone I didn’t know. Even at times I had a problem speaking clearly to my friends.

In 2000 (1st year of college) there were so many HOT girls at my campus. I also started using a powerful drug which eliminated my acne.

With acne gone, did I ever approach any strangers in the hallways or cafeteria?

Nope!

Around this time I was more confident with myself from all the attention I was getting but I was scared to talk to anyone.

I never knew what to say!

I pretty much messed up MANY great opportunities all due to lacking the social skill set.

Not knowing what to say.

My final semester of college was in 2003 and I noticed something interesting. Many of my friends of today and back then never took advantage of an opportunity for self improvement.

If I told my friend that there’s a guide that gives the answers for picking up women, he would want it… But never bother looking at it.

It seems like many people are comfortable with living boring & lonely lives.

I was like this until I made the commitment to be the best I can be.


Learning How To Be Funny Was My Goal

In the early 2000’s I bought 3 different guides teaching people how to be funny. I read one which explained some things but it was a really boring read. There was not one funny thing listed in the entire book.

Months later I bought one that’s written by a University professor. My English level is average and I didn’t understand one word from the book.

HELLO!?!?
This is Comedy..
Not "How To Be A Doctor Volume 1"

And I bought a third one but it was filled with too much fluff. I only read 30 pages & never bothered continuing.

From there I realized I have to learn on my own.

BUT accidentally.. I came across

How To Be Funny


And checked it out. It claimed the book can be read in 7 days.

I did it in two.

This is by far the best how to be funny guide I’ve ever read. It's very easy to understand, a fast read, designed in a way that’ll keep your eyes attracted to the pages & it can be downloaded in seconds.

In my opinion there's no better way to learn how to be funny.

I went over it a second time to make sure I didn't forget anything. The tips explained were easy to remember.

Later I opened up Microsoft Word and started writing random jokes I learned from How To Be Funny.

Some actually turned out funny.

The first piece of writing gave my mom a chuckle. The more I wrote, the funnier my material became.

I know this because my mom laughed.

And how often are parents wrong?



Story #1 - 12/22/06

I went to a party a week after I finished reading it the 2nd time. A friend who's really good with ‘your mom’ jokes was there. In front of everyone he said to me "Your mom likes old men!" and I thought of a good response right away.

I replied "Of course.. They perform better than you!"

Everyone started laughing and a few people gave me props for the good comeback. From that point on he never used a 'your mom' joke on me.

The guide helped me develop a quick wit.



Story #2 - 03/03/07

I have been in the online dating scene for a while. Since I was shy meeting people in person, online was the preferred method. In the early days I filled my profile with the same garbage other guys wrote.

After I learned how to think & write good humor, I started using my creativity & humor into what I wrote. The results were outstanding. With each profile I wrote, girls were messaging me about how much they enjoyed reading it.


As my sense of humor developed, I realized putting my new skills to use in public would be difficult since my social skills weren't good.

I learned in business that 93% of your communication comes from your voice tone & body language.

After spending many years being anti-social (that was in style at the time), I realized this was something that I needed to work on.


I Needed Stand Up Comedy Tips

So I went out of my way and checked out...

Stand Up Comedy Secrets


This was created by a stand up comedian. The information was really easy to pick up on. I got the hang of learning how to be funny quickly and here's a story involving a cute girl.



Story #3 - 08/14/07

I walked in an upscale restaurant and saw the hostess.

Me (excited): OH MY.. IT'S YOU!! HOW IS IT GOING?? YOU REMEMBER ME??
Girl (confused): No I don't..
Me (excited): ARE YOU SURE?? YOU SURE??
Girl (smiling): No...
Me (excited): Well...
Me (straight face): Just kidding... I wanted to be original with my opener!

That put a huge smile on her face. What made that funny is the transition in facial expressions. Me going from being REALLY excited to a straight face.

This guide goes over everything you need to know to make it out in the real world.

Throughout life I had a tough time holding a straight face & keeping eye contact with random people. Now it's easy & I enjoy it. : )




Story #4 - 11/17/07

When I go to high end restaurants, I go with my rusted 15 year old car. It still has a cassette deck for crying out loud.. lol

The venue I go to is loaded with beautiful women & wealthy guys who drive high end cars.

Most of these guys go with an attempt to meet a girl. I go dressed okay with an old car and guess who leaves the venue with either a phone number or girl?

It was my personality which did it...

Not my cassette deck! lol

If you're a guy who's reading this, I'm letting you know that almost every guy out there thinks money will get women. That is not true.

Personality comes first!

Women love guys who know how to be funny.

Well that's the end of my story. Here are the links to the how to be funny guides if you want to check them out.

Good luck & keep me updated with how this works out for you. :)
