Who doesn't want someone, whether a friend, or spouse make them laugh? We want to be happy, laughter brings happiness.
However, making it a requirement as to what is expected of a man is wrong. They are seeking their own pleasures, to have someone to make them happy. I don't expect all men to be comedians. They can be serious, chivalrous, humorous, or gentle, because God created men and women with all kinds of personalities, and we should appreciate the person as a person.
Humor though, can be a positive personality trait when used correctly and at the right time. It's a difficult skill to perfect, and some may come more naturally than others. For me, it's difficult to be humorous. I try to be funny and often fail. It's a great people skill though; people will be drawn to positive and funny people that will be able to make them laugh, and sometimes it's used for public speaking to draw in the listeners. However, the negative side is that you will become a people pleaser or seek to be popular among people. You might want to keep making people laugh, so you will liked and loved by all people.
In the end, just be yourself.
Hi, and thanks!
Those
highlighted letters were the 1st impression I have got when visiting female profiles (and surfing the net). Being funny or gracious, according to my old fashioned ideas, were a
natural condition of the self, particularly when a person feels (and is assured) he /she has found a person he /she likes.
Who doesn´t like to express his /her joy when he /she is on the company of those friends or liked ones? It is sensed, from the beginning, even traveling inside a subway.
Those things aren´t shared in normal talk, but these can be assumed, because few people like to be bossy or cheeky (according to my experience) but I felt it was a pre-requisite, a most sought, but now I guess it is a "thing" many would appreciate and like... I wondered why some women wished this on their dating profiles (perhaps I haven´t read men profiles).
Ha! Ha! No wonder! I´m not interested in knowing men.
I don´t think it is a skill. I know some of my friends have read books to be "funny", but GRACE comes from another source than a book: A GOD given gift.
Have you compared the voices of children and those SAME words said from adults? I´m sure there is a huge difference when you like kids more than adults. I find a rara grace adults have lost, somehow.
My friends read those jokes they learned and some were "successful" at laughing, but these jokes aren´t expontaneous, these aren´t theirs and, by the way, I have a "friend", an assistant who works for some friends and, each time I use my jokes, she says I learned from the internet. Ha! Ha! She thinks I sleep with my PC on, as a pillow.
Humor is an asset. I enjoy the jokes my sister does (or makes). I´m unsure to use "do" or "make". She is as secular (or mundane) as I am, but I enjoy how she sees life, how she enjoys her son and several things we often (or seldom) share (because she is somewhat hermit) because of her BUSY job: She also works at her home (a thing that stresses her and "removes" the natural tendency she has to make me laugh.
Just look at Jesus, here:
Mat 7:4 Why do you say toyour friend,
'Let me take that piece of dust out of your eye'? Look at yourself first! You still have thatbig piece of wood in your own eye.
Luk 6:41 "Why do you notice
the small piece of dust that is in your friend's eye, but you don't see the big piece of wood that is in your own eye?
I guess OUR Lord was funny, sometimes.
It wasn´t being cinic or shocky, but clear, with sound fun.
No wonder MANY FOLLOWED HIM during HIS earthly ministry.
Thanks, FishCross!
