Coming from Asia I feel like I never get American humor. Are there any shows I can watch/ find ways to become funnier over time? Most of my dates end up being boring as I can’t be funny and relate to local humor
Irony and sarcasm all the way. Make fun of yourself. What kind of humor are you used to?
The office
As a fellow foreigner, it just takes time. Hang out with Americans and it will slowly seep into you as your references will get more and more similar over time. In europe, humor tends to be drier and darker. Here it’s a little more in your face and obnoxious.
Y assimilate when u can find someone like yourself
Or pretend that everyone else is like you and grab them by the p*ssy. Sounds like good old Uber culture
I've been living in America since I was 10 and I still don't feel comfortable talking to white girls (millenial age btw)
Why?? Is there something wrong with Asian girls (presuming you’re Asian)?
I remember the first time someone said “that’s what she said” and my response was, who’s she? That was 10 years ago. Now people can’t really tell if I was born here or not. It takes time, but the best thing you can do is stop hanging out with all asian groups. It’s great to be friends with your fellow countrymen, but if you spend most of your time around them, you will never assimilate properly (assuming that is your goal) Also, watch TV shows that were popular in America at the time the people you want to date were growing up.
I just laugh then change the subject if I don't get it lmao
What's Asian humor like? Just realized I have no idea... Can you give an example?
Kung fu kick ass like jackie chan
Chinese humor is like really punny but you have to understand the language. Hard to explain in English.
Immigrant. I get most non fiction/political jokes pretty well. But I’ve absolutely no idea what people find funny in TV series like Friends!
