Is old school Tate humor effective with Western women?

So when it comes to learning humor, the advice on here is to find a role model whom you personally find funny. For me, Tate's style of humor made me crack up more than any other comedian I've seen, with the mixture of cockiness, edginess and conspicuous consumption, while also making fun of specific types of people.

I've tried modeling a toned down version in my own interactions to mixed results, where it draws in some women and other women seem absolutely disgusted and some were also fairly intimidated by it. It also has the drawback of making me despised in liberal circles (living in NYC so that's more than a decent amount of people), so now when I'm around those circles, I try to be much more PC at the cost of being seen as more of a background character.

I guess the question is should I look to find another role model with a broader humor type, or is there a way to make it work with a broader range of women? Or am I thinking of it the wrong way and I should go all in to this type of humor? Would love to hear other's opinions.

Example of the type of humor I'm talking about:

Honestly I skimmed through that video and didn't find anything remotely funny in it.

Tate's target audience is frustrated, lonely, red-pilled men. What they find funny is going to be massively different to what women find funny. No surprise some of the women reacted disgusted when you tried replicating it.

Aside from that, I don't think it's a good idea to model your sense of humor on anybody, much less someone as polarizing as him. Humor is something that needs to be congruent with your personality. Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from watching comedians, but in the end you'll have to develop your own style. If you are going to imitate someone, find someone who's teasing and playful rather than opinionated and douchey.

Yeah.

@Synthesis, what you are really looking for is a role model who a.) hot women crack up around and b.) he is actually turning women on, not just being the "funny clownish entertainer" guy.

Basically you have:

  1. Dudes who know how to be funny, but only in ways that mostly appeals to other men (i.e., Tate, Bill Burr, George Carlin).

  2. Dudes who know how to be funny to women and men, but they do so in a clownish, goofy, always self-deprecating way (i.e., Robin Williams, Martin Lawrence, Craig Ferguson).

  3. Dudes who know how to be funny to women and men, and use their humor to sexualize things with women, prize themselves, and get girls chasing them (i.e., Russell Brand, Ryan Reynolds, David Letterman, Errol Flynn, Sean Connery).

If you're choosing a humor role model, and you plan to use your humor in seduction, you want to choose a guy from category #3.

+1 for Sean Connery. If I could imitate any fictional character, it would be Bond in Goldfinger. Just the ultimate combination of playfulness and seriousness, leaving the audience never quite sure whether he cares more about seducing the girl or saving the world.

Ah yes, the ol' strategy of "let me model my personality off the guy who 98% of hot girls think is cringe". How could that possibly go wrong?

Example of the type of humor I'm talking about:
I did not find anything funny in the video... Can you please respond with the time stamp or where can i find something funny.... That is not going to work with women, the styles of humor that work with women are maybe cocky funny, calibrated innuendos, grandmaster, and what i call grandmaster 2.0 (indirect sexual funny).... I made a video on how humor has to be done, with examples, what works, why it works, samples in text, samples in live, lay reports i put everything here:

ux


^ that is what works field tested a million times... community guys: Old school Julien, Jeffy (from rsd), playing with fire, style(neil strauss) makes jokes that are good and smart with a straight face (good).... From this forum there was a dude called fluxcapacitator rip, then top cat (but he does not use it much in the forum), of course where is the mirror (skills).... Howard stern (old school) has some of the right ideas when he does the interviews (old school howard 15 years ago) when he used humor to make women open up (that is were i learned), Tom lyikes (the original red piller), russell brand...... The original dudes from puahate (those guys were funny as fuck) they did not get laid themselves, but the CATFISH game with humor they use was on point... (i know cause is very similar to how i have gotten laid texting)

Some ok comics that can translate for seduction Patrice O'neil, russol brand, Dane cook vicious circle only, Neil rogers (is a south florida talk show fake angry), Old school hodge twins (fake angry/grandmaster).....

^ humor for seduction has to be just like anything in game has to be FRACTIONATED, you can not plow or stay on one frequency...
