Dating To Relating For Men – Advice By Mr. L. Rx<\/strong><\/p>\n

Released by AssociatedNews.US<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. L. Rx is the author of the popular DatingToRelating.com website and the author of<\/strong> the <\/strong>popular book \u201cDating To Relating \u2013 From A To Z.\u201d <\/strong>Have a question? Send it to Column@DatingToRelating.com<\/strong> and it may be selected for answer in this column. <\/strong>(Sorry all questions can not be answered.)<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> Mr. L. Rx, a lot of dating gurus advise about using humor to attract women, however, you don\u2019t say much about that. Why is that?<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>Well, you are right. I do not focus much of my writing on using humor as a technique to meet women.<\/p>\n

The reason is that humor is one of those \u201cten percent tools\u201d that a lot of the dating gurus recommend. By \u201cten percent tools\u201d, I mean techniques that if used broadly, only work on a small percentage of women.<\/p>\n

The tools that I recommend are technologies that result in an eighty to ninety percent success rate \u2013 something that you will never achieve just by being funny.<\/p>\n

First of all humor changes with personality type. So what one person considers funny, the next person won\u2019t.\u00a0 Even if you were to come up with a successful \u201chumor\u201d approach, to be successful eighty to ninety percent of the time you would have to change your jokes and\/or delivery with the personality types you are approaching.<\/p>\n

I have done this in sales, for example. I have based a sales technique on humor and had success, but still I had to change the delivery of the humor to match the personality type I was addressing. When I was doing door-to-door sales as a kid, I found that even socio-economic types have different humor and had to base my approach on that.<\/p>\n

Having said that, humor is an obvious advantage for a guy who has the ability to be funny. Just look at some of the dating site profiles of women. Look what they put down as desired in a man. A very large percentage of women will put \u201cfunny\u201d or a sense of humor, or some reference to humor.<\/p>\n

The problem I see for men (besides matching the right kind of humor for the right personality type) is trying to be funny all the time. Just because a woman says she likes humor or \u201cfunny.\u201d Doesn\u2019t mean that it should be the only thing you do — as some of the gurus would have you believe. If you had to do just one thing all the time, \u201clistening\u201d to a woman has humor beat hands down.<\/p>\n

But if you can spice up your listening with a few appropriate humorous comments now and again, it certainly won\u2019t hurt and could just make you that special guy she is looking for.<\/p>\n

But the reason I don\u2019t focus on training guys to be funny is that it is still just a \u201cten percent tool\u201d and as such, not worth a lot of attention as a basic strategy. In fact \u201ctrying\u201d to be funny all the time will backfire and wreck more approaches than it will help.<\/p>\n

When you are funny without having all the other basics in place, women will use you for entertainment and you will be relegated, more often than not, into that \u201cfriendship\u201d role that most guys dread. And it will work on a few of a certain personality type \u2013 hence your ten percent \u2013 and that will be it.<\/p>\n

When you listen to women as your primary focus and respond appropriately in both humorous and non-humorous ways, you can break out of that \u201cten percent\u201d result and achieve the kind of success ratios we strive for \u2013 eighty to ninety percent \u2013 all the time.<\/p>\n
