Of course you can be attractive while not being funny...

You just need the killer body and a net worth of $7542980574890573901857349208574920835743209875030942

I'm sure you have a sense of humor, and it will come out once you meet a woman you're into. Self-deprecation is funny if you can laugh at yourself; ie. if you don't sound like you're fishing for reassurance. But remember what Pink said, "I'm not here for your entertainment", it's more important to develop a rapport with the girl rather than impressing her.

Yeah I certainly think you can attract women initially without being funny, but once you get to know eachother you need to be able to make her laugh...

Do you think Bred pit or super hot male models are funny? they are boring to death.Yet many girls drool over them. just look at the Sexiest males thread.

or do you think if you are poor ,f*****g ugly and super funny then women would overlook your poverty and ugliness for just stupid humor?

humor is one of the things that women say that they care about but in fact they don't that much. Power,Looks,success and wealth are the most 4 things that most women care about.

Wake up naive.

When my wife and I were at school together, she used to laugh at my shorts - does that count.

actually, I think she still laughs a bit when I wear them.

Being able to make someone laugh is a power of sorts. You need to be aware of what is going on, and be confident enough to pull it off. Humor gives someone value in a social sense...

I think the right girl, the kind I'm looking for... they will definitely overlook poverty and ugliness for my other qualities.

It's not everything, but it gives the 'average' guys something to work with. Enough to get the 'average' girls.

What you're talking about only matters when guys try to go after the super model types... the ones that are built up to have a sense of entitlement.... that are so attached to their ideas of class that nothing else matters.

I don't know really where you get this, most guys aren't rich and powerful... and most guys usually end up in relationships... it's not impossible. What are they doing? They must be doing something right. The problems AS guys have aren't all tied up in the realm of power/wealth/prestige.

I do know quite a few guys who do well and aren't social clowns or comedians but I think what works for them is they throw off a lot of quiet confidence, they're good at a lot of things, they've got their style pretty well jazzed up, and they have enough things going for them to where women still see a lot there.

Tbh...the next male that cracks yet another pathetic wisecrack is likely to be one testicle short of a reproductive system when I'm done with him - funny men get very frustrating very quickly.

The reason a girl finds a man EXTREMELY funny...note most of what he says isn't funny. We're just giggling because we're so smitten we go into fangirl mode, and EVERYTHING seems funny/wonderful/awesome from him. ;)

Above advice is best - be yourself. And as has been pointed out on this forum before, this doesn't mean the you that has stinky old socks around the place and goes for an emergency crotch rearrangement whenever necessary - this means don't fake it, trying to be someone else. Be the best you that you can be. Be as content as you can - this is important, as a content person is often far more attractive than someone that is desperate, depressed or agitated, and especially someone lacking confidence.

My current relationship is not with a 'funny' guy. Sure, he makes a good joke or two and his puns etc are wicked, but he's not the kind that has chicks in stitches with laughter 24/7. He is confident and content, or at least appears so - and yes, he is on WP!

Don't change yourself for a girl.

1) If she doesn't like you for who you are, she's not going to be ideal for a relationship. Let it slide, try and focus your affections on someone else.

2) Don't forget that love at first sight is VERY RARE. Don't give up because a mere few weeks have been fruitless. It can take months for people to get to know each other well enough to fall in love...don't be scared away too easily.

;)

Yes... but the question is; are you willing to overlook those things in HER for her other qualities?

Funny how often these things seem to work one way only.

Probably, can't say for sure that's for sure.

I'm fine with going with a real homely girl, if our personalities mesh really well.

And poverty? Who really cares about that one? If a girl is perfect yet poor... I would be a fool to second guess that one.

The only big issue thing that I can't over look is if she's smelly. There is no getting around that one, bad odors set me off...

But even then, they do make some great deodorants nowadays... hmm... :P

I think it will be harder to attract most females with a very plain personality.
Try to be confident and passionate to make up for it.

Lust is strictly physical, while love is more an emotional/mental connection with a person. Maybe you'll learn that when you get older. :)

The reason why women like "humor" isn't because the guy is funny. There is something behind the "humor" that really gets the girl. A girl who likes a funny guy is really saying when he is funny, he is easy-going and fun to be around with. It simply means "he makes me feel good". If you can be easy-going and fun to be around with without humor, you're alright. :D
