Dr. Aziz explains why humor makes people like you more. A study found women rated funny men as more intelligent and attractive. His advice: spend 10-15 minutes daily listening to a comedian you love, then channel their style in conversations to get better at jokes within about five days.
Did you know that the funnier you are, the more people will like you? In fact, there was a study in the Journal of European Psychology where women rated men who used humor as more intelligent, more attractive and warm. So here's the fast track to being funnier right away. Find a comedian or a TV show that you really enjoy that actually makes you laugh out loud when you listen to that person. Like pick Chris Rock or someone that is hard not to laugh at their stuff, right? And then 10 to 15 minutes or more a day of listening to them. And then the next time you're in a social situation, just channel that comedian. Like you embody them and start to say the things and act the ways that they would act. Just let it move through you. Don't overthink it. And if you do this, within five days, you're going to find that you have a big boost in how many jokes you make, how funny you are, and ultimately how people respond to you. And I mean, this method is so foolproof that if it doesn't work for you, well, I'm afraid there's no hope for you, and you're due to a boring, terrible, unlikable existence.
