“If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.” What does this mean to you? Is it true?

From my experience it is mostly true. This is not solely because humor is the key to girl's panties, but also because women generally speaking respond better to jokes from individuals they are attracted to.

A sense of humor is a show of intelligence to a certain extent. It shows situational avareness, creativity, lexical knowledge, etc. Additionally, they also clearly showcase if a person is comfortable in a group or not, which is directly linked to his social status and confidence.

Additionally women (men too) tend to be less comfortable and confident around people they are attracted to. They are more vulnerable. So naturally they will open up more to said attractive individual, and lower their guards more.

I don't fully know how to describe this, but again, in my experience, when a girl was receptive to me, and my humor, she was "vibrant". That's probably the best way to describe it. Like there is a constant, elevated attention on their part. If they have this state of mind, you can say the worst jokes, and they will laugh. If not, you are not in luck, and you will probably look like a tryhard.

There are some instances where you can woo girls with your humor, but in most cases the attraction manifests itself beforehand, and the humor cements it.

Girls only find guys they're attracted to funny anyway by default, if some ugly ass dude comes up to them even if his friends find him really funny they're not gonna find him funny at all

No it’s not true, and it’s very sexist. Implies that you are able to control a girl if you do X Y Z.

Also a funny man is JUST that - a funny man. If I’m not attracted to him, he cannot make me “do anything”. The guy who said that must’ve been delirious.

I think it means that humor is the key to wooing a lady. And it is true for a lot of girls, but not every single one.

Depends. Just look at Pete Davison and the girls he gets besides being kinda weird and creepy in personality and looks. plenty off girls still like him and surprisingly find him funny too.

Girls want a man who will make them happy and keep them entertained but unfortunately that's a big misconceptions people have on funny people. some of the most funniest people are sometimes the most messed up and i don't want baggage in a relationship I have enough of my own to deal with.

Being funny isn't everything you also have to have a lot of other great qualities to impress a girl. We're very highly selective so unfortunately just being funny isn't gonna cut it if I'm turely honest. If you want a good woman to fall for you, you have to be the whole package and this is coming from a girl who is very well known for her good sense of humour.

I don't know about anything. You are defanetly moving in the right direction if anything is what your aiming for.
Your next move is to feed her. There's three thing you can do to even make better. #1 Cook the food yourself.
#2 It's got to be off the charts good. AND.
#3 Let her know you have every intention of cleaning up after dinner and she not to help.
Now you can see the light at the entrance to the tunnel of anything you want. Of course I personally have a couple more things for her.
When I get done with her, she's going to be the one offering Anything Anytime I want !!!

Well, Marilyn went through a lot of troubling things in her life, so someone that could make her laugh was probably what SHE needed most in her life during that time and what she wanted most.. however, this does not reign true for every women.

I think the most important aspect a man can have is being someone a woman can depend on and someone who is there for her, through good times and bad and most ESPECIALLY when she needs it the most. This a trait that can be hard to find..

Well I think she may be talking in the context of love.
If a guy says unfunny jokes but the girl laughs anyway- it may be an indicator that the girl has a crush on this guy and because of that, it means that the girl would do anything for the guy in the name of love which I think is pretty cute :)

MittenstheGlove · Answer

As a guy who strives to make my interest laugh I know that if she doesn’t laugh at your jokes, she doesn’t really care for you.

If she’s laughing you’ve got her interest and attention. From there you can attempt a more romantic approach.

It is semi-true but it’s definitely misleading.

I share the same bday as Monroe but I gotta disagree with my girl here. What if someone made you laugh cus they did something embarrassingly funny like farted or something, I'm not gonna do anything for that.

JSmuve · Answer

A bit hyperbolic but there is a lot of truth to it. The quote just means that if you can make a girl laugh, you have at least a fighting chance with her, assuming its not awkward, nervous laughter. How many women list humour/being able to make her laugh as a quality they look for in a guy? A lot. Girls like to laugh and guys that can make them laugh are attractive to them.

CubsterShura · Answer

Not true. A guy who can make me laugh can only make me laugh. Everything else depends on other stuff.

Engageme · Answer

Uhm to me it's more of a "if you can make it through school you can do anything" type of meaning. Meaning, not literally, but theoretically if you can make her laugh you have a chance with her type of statement.

Alessus · Answer

I mean being on friendly terms with anyone, whether man or woman, generally makes it easier for you to convince them to do something, but not to the extent that the quote implies.

SketchForger · Answer

I think she's implying that charisma and witty charm are the better ways of romantically involving yourself with women. But she also says diamonds are a woman's best friend so it seems it might be contradictory...

JadaJackson · Answer

If a guy can make me laugh im instantly attracted to him. That doesn't mean I have actual feelings but I always wanna see where things go with him

MarilynMansonsSlvt · Answer

Not true. If you can make me laugh, it probably just means that you're such an idiot that I'm laughing at you. xx ~ Mrs Manson

ausrooe · Answer

Honestly I agree - but to an extent.  For me personally, it works for me, but here are things I won’t do just because you can get me to laugh.

Koki11 · Answer

Yes funny guys are more likely to get the girl and keep her I feel like and a hot guy can get the girl for a one night stand ;-)

ATuairiscean · Answer

To a degree - It would work in your favour but for her to do anything I think there might be more to it

Aenetoo · Answer

Not necessarily. It means you definitely have an in though.  I sometimes try to make women laugh if they're going through a rough time. I tell stupid jokes. Groaners.

Anonymous · Answer

No, the golden rule is. Don't be ugly, they don't care about your personality like that's even an important trait in a guy. Bruh, look at all the assholes that woman go back to, they are good lookin fellas its as simple as that.

melanieeeB · Answer

Nope, good Humor only means I will laugh and find you sympathetic

Coolgirl235 · Answer

False just because a guy can make me laugh does not mean he can make me do anything else.

“If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.” What does this mean to you? Is it true?
