Are men who make fun of themselves seen as sexy? ‘Hell yeah!’ says a study by University of New Mexico where a group of women listened to men tell self-depreciating jokes. Study co-author Gil Greengross says, ‘It makes you more approachable to women when you use humor to show a little weakness”. :roll:

I am thinking this could make them women flee man. I mean you don’t go airing your dirty laundry and highlighting your flaws in the name of humoring a woman to bed. I think she wont even give you her number.

Do you think self-depreciating humor will haha! her to Aaaaahh!!! Aaaahhh!!!?

    self depreciating humour would be a turn off, but humour is definately hi up on the plus signs of a man for sure. :o )

    The answer is just too simple: People have various tastes in humor. As long as self-loathing etc. has some interesting & funny element in it, it will work on most people–but not on all people. “Conan Effect?”

    It depends on the context and circumstance of the humor. Some people really think they have a career in comedy when in actuality they don’t.

    Yes , you maybe correct . With thousands of comedians out of work and I still try to be funny . Most of my material is based on what I read online . As they only allow me to venture out a couple times a month . Or should I say that I have over a Million Safe Miles driven professionally and have talked to many thousands of people in my journeys and now I like to Relax at home with my new found Wife .

    Thank you VA_SongBird , I have lived a very full life with all the people that I have met in 48 States and Ontario , Canada . Sometimes to laugh about Nothing serious will take others problems away for just a short period of time . We as United States citizens have came a long way in the last 50 years and this site AS A STEPPING STONE IN OUR PATHS OF LIFE has given Me a Beautiful Ladie to enjoy our later years together .

    Isn’t the word ‘deprecating’? It’s humor. Some people see it as a sign of weakness. Some see it as a sign of confidence. If it’s what you do, on some level it has to be working for you.

    BTW, it works for me.
