Superpowers for Men
Complicated as the pursuit of women can be, one Superpower that always works to simplify the chase is humour. A woman laughing is a woman on your side. That's why, if I had my druthers, I'd choose irresistible funniness as my Superpower.
Note that I wrote ...simplify...
not
...guaranteed to have every women within earshot inviting you to get a room right then and there, saying come fuck me 'til I wilt.
No. Although that would be sweet. Irrational spur-of-the-moment anytime hotel sex is as sexy as a wardrobe of La Perla and Agent Provocateur. All I'm saying is that talk that results in the beautiful sound of a woman laughing lowers the drawbridge to the castle.
Naturally, nothing works with all babes. My humour, for example, tends towards the absurdist - it's more about wordplay than anecdotes. Telling stories from real life is absolutely not my forte, and my delivery is deadpan rather than manic. Sadly, this has limited lady-appeal, but at least it's something.
Which leads me to the VERY important point for guys, that FORCING humour never works. All you can do is to demonstrate what you've got, and hope it generates the right, gooey-in-the-forks response.
Notwithstanding, when it does work, and you have the lady convulsing, the road ahead is cleared of many obstacles. You've established an intellectual connection (without the pain of discussing Wuthering Heights) and she's seen that you are good company. Doubts about your ability to hold a job or suitability as a father are cast aside, because she'll want you to make her feel good with more funny talk.
What she might not understand is that you want to make her feel good with both of you naked sharing body parts. But that's the beauty of Superpowers - only afterwards do the recipients of them realize what they've witnessed.
Bottoms Up, Laughers.

I'm your side on this one, wombat. I mean, if I only could choose one thing I'd want my life-long partner to have is an amazing sense of humor that fits mine too (and love for cheese, taste on wine, social, curious, active, and and and...ok, I'll stop here).
Anyway, I've realized that even someone I initially don't find attractive at all, has attracted me (a lot) by knowing how to make me laugh!
I can imagine after this post of yours, a couple of guys joining a comedy club ;)
Yup I'm a sucker for a great smile and a man who can make me laugh hard.
Anytime a woman says 'you're fun!' it's pretty much the same as saying 'I love you!'.
Now of course that has to be taken in context. Like...in bed! Or after an evening of chatting and drinks while walking home, etc.
Saying, 'you're funny!' might not be so keen. She may be referring to your looks or clothes or bizarre personality. So it's important to listen carefully when she compliments you. One way and your knocking boots for the long term. The other way and your looking at the wrong end of a restraining order. My God this sex communication is confusing!!!! =)
You're definitely on to something here, Wombat, including laugh-inducing humor establishing an intellectual connection. Wry humor and wordplays always turn me on. :)
A guy I liked a lot who said on Match that he had a good sense of humor never made me laugh.... That's when I learned that a "sense of humor" and being funny aren't the same thing--he did have a sense of humor, since he laughed at my wry comments and stories! But he seemed kind of stiff to me, and I bet he wouldn't have if he'd made me laugh.
Mmmm. Laughing is such a good thing. All sparkly and getting each other's jokes...or not, but everything is kind of fun and funny. :) for me that's the def of a good date!
but i rarely get there after a 1st match.com date. Those are high pressure situations!
Laughter is definitely the most direct route to my underwear, that and vodka...
When you find the right man, Katherina, that's gonna be one wonderful wedding...cheese, wine and lots of laughter I imagine.
Hard laughs are the best, Miss S. Especially if they lead to other fun things.
Wow, I wouldn't have made the laughing might or might not = loving link, Mr Nights. Now I think about it, I see your point. Subtle differences make everything change. Like climbing Everest via the Nepalese side or the Tibetan side. One's a cakewalk, the other's a rockwalk.
Absolutely right, Miss Licious. Humour comes in so many forms, only individual testing can determine which species your dealing with. Making even one person laugh is a blessing, IMO.
Right, Annie. First date laughs are few and far between, esp the Match type. Ugh. Another reason to dislike the online thing.
Umm, Miss Me, are you busy Friday? I have vodka and a few gags. Are you up for it?
I think the key is being aloof, and cocky and funny. In order to do that you simply cannot care. The less you care, the better you'll do, because you'll be able to be yourself! I speak from experience on my http://www.datecover.com exploits. Starts online, ends in my bed :)
I thought it was rather funny (so to speak) that a guy would advertise a "sense of humor" in his profile when he made no attempts at all to be funny over the course of several dates! (To be clear, I don't think it's just that *I* don't find him funny--he doesn't seem to even try to be funny!) It was a colleague who pointed out that being funny and having a sense of humor are not the same thing. And, reading his words literally, he was right. He even had a picture of himself laughing hard in his profile. I made him laugh several times even on the first date, but then I kind of pride myself on that.... It's one of the positive side effects of having been overweight for so many years, I think--I worked harder at developing my entertainment abilities! :-)
Ah, now I have just had a bright idea intrude into my otherwise pedestrian mind-journey, Miss Licious.
What about a book about how you developed "entertainment abilities" and kept them (to devastating effect) when you became less.
Yes?
Sure, why not? You volunteering to co-author? :-)
Yep. When do we start?
