Do women realise that...
When you say this guy you know is 'really funny' in the presence of your funny male friends. Its tantamount to saying some other guy is a 'great lover' to your boyfriend. (OK, not tantamount, but the same sort of thing, though i suppose to a lesser degree).
I was just wondering if women actually 'get' this and do it on purpose, or they dont and end up doing it by accident.
Disclaimer : I know THIS thread is tantamount to calling myself 'funny'... but i was just interested in the answer and didnt see a way of asking the question without that. So never mind eh?
also, I got to use the word 'tantamount' 3 times.

Re: Do women realise that...
What are you on about Henry? What do you expect people to say? Oh I know this guy and he's really funny (but of course you're funny too and in fact he's nowhere near as funny as you are just incase you thought I was implying something there).
It's nothing like telling my bf that some other guy is a great lover. And even if I did do that, in all likelihood he'd just say 'but not as good as me schnookums' and ravage me.

Re: Do women realise that...
erm.. i'm with sar on this one.
how about you tell your friends to get over themselves as obviously they must be funny.. and someone else being funny isn't really gonna change that.
cause in your line of thinking.. it's like if your gf is hot.. but you see this other girl and say 'she's hot' to your gf.
we've just picked up on a character trait and are commenting on it. if we were purposely trying to damage your egos, trust me, we have better ways.

Re: Do women realise that...
Actually Henry , when they say it, its their way of saying "You are really funny, but thats not enough to sway me from where I am"
If they grin , smile , and say very little indeed, theh you worry.

Re: Do women realise that...
I'm surprised you people can pin it down to merely that single part of the post. Absolutely none of that whole paragraph made any sense to me whatsoever.

Re: Do women realise that...
in the presence of your funny male friends??!? deepflow are you saying that when you free sex norwegian types get together for those orgies, a female saying to everyone that a particual male is 'funny' actually means hes the super man of the bunch. Funny male friends = lovers. What?

Re: Do women realise that...
Basically, my reading of it is
1. Henrys girlfriend is damned good looking
2. Henry is insecure about the relationship because shes stunning and hes a horse
3. When she said "Youre Funny" to another guy, Henry assumed she was flirting because she was interested.
4. In my opinion, she was flirting, but her statement was her way of saying she wasnt interested and was happy with Henry
5. Henry needs to seriously work on his self confidence or the relationships going to be over by the time he writes a response to this post.
Was I right , was I wrong? Only time will tell ....

Henry's point is that the girl(s) aren't purposely trying to damage the ego. He was asking a rhetorical question - in that "are girls really this unaware of what they're saying?".
I know what he means. He should have compared it to his girlfriend saying "Well xxx is so attractive!", as that's the same kind of thing. It's likely to make us jealous - does our girlfriend describe us as "so attractive" to her friends?
When talking to her friends, be it male or female, are we described as "oh he's so nice, and he's really funny!" or not? If being funny is your thing, then you'd hope so... if not, then what do these clowns have that we don't?
