Girls, What does it mean when you tell a woman a joke and she responds “that’s awesome”?

[Anonymous]

Let’s say you make a joke over text, and the woman responds “that’s awesome;” does that mean she didn’t find the joke funny and is just being polite?

It wasn’t funny, she’s being polite

It was kinda funny

She genuinely found it funny

I use words like that if I'm trying to be polite or can't give the appropriate response due to not feeling the intended reaction they want. If I like an art work, I will say, the colours are beautiful, the mood is nice, the angles are gorgeous. If I don't like the art, I will say "it looks awesome." If I think somebody did something smart and I don't care, I will say "it's awesome." If I think somebody did something nice and I care, I will say, "wow, you're so nice to people!" If I don't care, "what you did was awesome."

So in the context of this being a joke, you would say "that's awesome" when the joke isn't funny, but you're trying to acknowledge that the person was trying to be funny.

Yes, usually.

If she didn't laugh at all, I'd suspect she wasn't sincere with her remark.

If she actually appeared to enjoy herself laughing, then that would have been a remarkable compliment.

This was over text.

If I would say something like that it would have been a fail. I'll either laugh or just shake my head.

If I'm saying "that's awesome" to a joke, it's cause I spent a minute snorting a good laugh

[Changiis07]

It could be either B or C sounds more like she found it funny

[Not_Ur_Babe]

Honestly that not how she should have responded if she thought that it was funny. Sorry🤷🏼‍♀️

[Asker]

No need to be sorry! This is why I was asking 😌

[Not_Ur_Babe]

Okay😁👍

You can't convey any emotions from texting.
