How to Win Women Over With Jokes

Win a woman over by making her laugh.

Laughter has a number of positive effects because it releases endorphins in the brain, creating feelings of happiness and bliss. Using jokes to get a woman laughing relaxes her and makes her feel at ease around you. It also gives her happy, positive memories to remember you by when you're not around. These good memories make it easier for you to win her over for a longer-term relationship.

Instructions

1. Find out her hobbies and interests and what her sense of humor is like. Find out if she likes slapstick humor or if she prefers more sarcastic or drier jokes. Apply this type of joke-telling to her interest areas. This will show her that you have the sense of humor she is looking for in a man and that you're interested in her as a person.

2. Tell funny anecdotes from your past. Relate a funny story from your past so that she can learn a little more about you. This makes it easier for her to open up to you, and creates a higher feeling of trust between you. Because you were willing to open up and show a little vulnerability, she'll know that you trust her and that she can safely give you her trust in return. It's also a good way to ease into sharing stories from your past with each other, whether they're funny or serious.

3. Make light of out-of-the-ordinary situations. Instead of getting mad when something unexpected happens, keep a smile on your face and do your best to keep everyone calm. If possible, make a joke about it at the time it happens or later on in the evening. This shows her that you can control your emotions and that you have a positive outlook on life.

4. Tell jokes about yourself. Make fun of yourself and the way you do certain things. Don't take yourself too seriously around her. For example, if you're always fussing about keeping the apartment neat in a way that drives your sloppy roommates crazy, make light of it in some way instead of complaining about the mess they always leave. Be careful not to take this too far, to the point that you're putting yourself down and harming your own self-esteem.

Tips & Warnings

• Laugh at her jokes. Don't be so focused on coming up with your next joke that you can't relax enough to laugh at the ones she tells.

• Don't make fun of people. Even though you may find some of your own funny and harmless, she may not feel the same way.
