How to Be Hilarious and Make Friends Easily

Everyone loves a person with a great sense of humor. People who know how to make jokes and cheer others up can make friends easily and tend to keep them for a long time. If you want to attract more people and be the life of the party--or just spend time laughing and talking with quality friends--here's how to be hilarious and make friends using your sense of humor.

Instructions

1. Greet everyone with a smile on your face. People become attracted to happy folks, not scowling types. So smile when meeting and conversing with others.

2. Joke around when appropriate. Everybody enjoys being around a comedian--within reason. Choose friends who have the same interests and sense of humor you do. Make hilarious comments about the local sports team at the bar, but use dry humor at the art gallery downtown.

3. Learn the fine art of cheering up a sad friend. Nothing can spark up a depressed person quicker than a witty comment or compliment. Use your hilarious sense of humor to change a person's attitude, and they'll be a friend for life.

4. Inspire others to express themselves. By being friendly and cracking hilarious jokes and comments, you can bring out the sense of humor in friends and strangers alike. Everyone loves sharing jokes and quips with like-minded people.

5. Suggest fun activities. It can be something like playing pool or going to an amusement park, or something unusual like square dancing. By inviting others to engage in potentially fun activities or going to such events by yourself, you can make and keep good friends.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't try too hard to be funny. Make jokes fit in naturally during the conversation.

• Edit your jokes. Be careful not to say something that could be misinterpreted or hurt someone's feelings.
