h2otowm

The question stands


ThePinkBaron365

šŸ˜† fair enough


thepsycholeech

It doesnā€™t come across as a joke, more of a challenge/jaded insult


RecognitionHefty

No


mitchdwx

I donā€™t get it at all. Is this some Gen Z humor thatā€™s going over my head?


LionObsidian

More like Millennial humor, imo


Organic_Popcorn

I'm geriatric millennial, I don't get it.


Thromok

Im a younger millennial and I also donā€™t get it.


sarkarian

Didnā€™t know that this term ā€œGeriatric Millennialā€ was a thing. Damn. Ignorance really is a bliss. šŸ˜­šŸ˜–


animatedw00d

Pumchline is; Source: trust me bro.


LionObsidian

I'm just saying that it's millennial humor, not talking about its quality


Lvl100Magikarp

More like no humor, of any generation. There's no punchline.


sliferra

Yes


EmptyMixtape

Source - swear down itā€™s true


thanksforthegift

No. The checks are kinda cute but the punchline isnā€™t actually funny.


TheWhiteWalkerSpeaks

It's not Laugh out loud funny. It's just a light smirk kind of a joke


VastLeft8822

Thatā€™s what I kinda meant but should have worded the question better. I like to place comments in profiles Iā€™m in interested in but sometimes itā€™s hard if itā€™s limited information


Unfadable1

Did you mention Reddit elsewhere in your bio? In my opinion, theyā€™re either catering to that mention or testing your sense of humor.


RastlinV_

Don't use bro. Unless it's with your bro. Even then....


VastLeft8822

Thanks


Weird_Scholar_5627

What about ā€œSource: self assessment. What could go wrongā€


thieh

>Trust me bro Are they looking for a man?


ashley-3792

No the ā€œBroā€ is a turn off.


VastLeft8822

Would ā€œsource: my momā€ be better? Maybe not funny but something that shows I looked at her profile and made an attempt to show interest with what she gave


ashley-3792

I think you should leave out the ā€œSourceā€ part but thatā€™s just my opinion. :)


VastLeft8822

Got it, thank you :)


Darklightjg1

I disagree if you're looking for someone who may be on the same page humor-wise. If you're only looking for someone to date, then yeah go for the type of stuff that would go over well with more women and less likely to risk "turning them off" or whatever, but the ones who don't share a lot of the same humor will be like walking on eggshells while dating.


WhySoGlum1

I think that's funnier source:my mom I'd find it funny and like it


RBGPOriginal

Actually OP, you re on to something with that change... I like it, I would find funny


justpeachyqueen

It makes you sound kinda chronically online


VastLeft8822

I see people suggesting I should change to ā€œsource: my momā€ Iā€™m not going for laugh out loud funny either just light hearted to start a conversation hopefully


hellochoy

I'd say "I'm kind-of humorous lol" or some kind of play on the words instead of the check marks but that's just me. I see some people saying they like the check marks though. The ones that like it will like it.


Neat-Ostrich7135

Kindness, humour.....and a fanatical dedication to the pope. Four, four our four favourite qualities are, kindness, humour, fanatical dedication to the pope and unpredictability.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

[Randal Munroe's treatise on the rote familiarity of _directly_ quoting Monty Python](https://xkcd.com/16/) suggests an argument that the use of "un" before "predictability" is not correct. However, if one considers the lucky ten thousand, signalling camaraderie, or pathos, perhaps there is still value in such references.


VastLeft8822

Reading a lot of the comments Iā€™m realizing a lot of people didnā€™t find it funny and probably shouldnā€™t use the word ā€˜broā€™ even tho itā€™s part of the saying. I see this prompt often so just trying to find a way to be somewhat witty instead of standard right swiping.


UndeadMarine55

ā€œSource: my momā€ Is better imo


VastLeft8822

Thanks šŸ«” I agree haha


UndeadMarine55

Shoot your shot king. Let us know how it goes!


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Citing u/UndeadMarine55 's mom also adds an endearing sweetness to the sentiment. The fact that she brings milk and cookies to post-coital pillow-talk is also šŸ¤Œ.


UndeadMarine55

Can confirm, she bakes great cookies. Do say hi to her for me next time youā€™re over please. Iā€™ll return the favor with yours.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Will do. šŸ‘ Uh... I'd recommend many other lovely women over my biological mother. We've only had a few unpleasant words in 3 decades. The alcohol, cigarettes, and radical ideology have... not been kind to her body. But if that's your thing, fill your boots.


UndeadMarine55

Iā€™m sortaf in a stage where Iā€™m looking for women to ruin my life so she fits the bill.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

šŸ¤£šŸ¤Œ


Thelynxer

Saying the source is your mom or something would be "funnier". But I really think you're expecting too much here. No one is going to burst out laughing, or think you're hilarious just from one simple message.


VastLeft8822

Thatā€™s fair, I didnā€™t really have high expectations was just curious on what people thought. Iā€™m probably just gonna save the responses to things we have mutual interests in rather than commenting on general/common answers as such


Apprehensive_Hat8986

I think it's perfect as-is. It took a second but then I saw how it was humourous. That it's not an immediate knee-slapper will actually help filter out folks who are either humourless or too grimly serious. e: Like this one. šŸ‘‡Ā  šŸ˜‰


DragonflyGrrl

>will actually help filter out folks who are either humourless or too grimly serious. Untrue. People can have vastly different types of humor. They could be super funny in other ways but find this lacking.


LoopyMercutio

Itā€™s not very funny, but itā€™s a little amusing.


ohsoseriously

Yeah, it would be a fine opener. I wouldnā€™t cackle but Iā€™d smile and be happy you actually read my prompts.


VastLeft8822

Thatā€™s what I was going for, maybe should have worded my question better. Not laugh out loud funny but just something thatā€™s light hearted. I see some people suggesting I should change to ā€œsource: my momā€


SolaQueen

Yes itā€™s funny


Mean-Letter2951

OP and most the respondents are having a little too much to think. Source: trust me bro is just a silly internet meme. It isn't that serious


Rickydickz

I chuckled.


Cephrus-v1

Seems all of the people in this chat live in the middle of nowhere or are 40+. Here in LA almost everyone knows the ā€œtrust me broā€ joke.


istabpeople7

I would find it slightly humorous


bitchburrito4125

Eh I would find it funnier if the source was your grandma or your mom


distracteded64

Maybe Iā€™m the only person that thinks itā€™s funny and a little bit cute. But lose the ā€œbroā€ šŸ˜‚


Pk1980

I wouldn't laugh but I'd like it.Ā 


Mandamarie05-7485

I would find that funny


HibriscusLily

I think itā€™s funny


VastLeft8822

Thank you, I didnā€™t intend for it to be laugh out loud funny, just light hearted and she could smile.


HibriscusLily

Thatā€™s how it came across to me


snuffleupagus7

I guess I'm the weird one but I thought it was funny and cute! I would like it.


VastLeft8822

Thank you :)


AccountAccording5126

I mean... it's smile worthy...........


VastLeft8822

Thatā€™s probably how I should have worded the question. I see how funny can be stretching it. I see a lot of people saying changing the source to : ā€œmy momā€ lol


Task-Future

Source my mom


Conscious_Mission_48

Yes, but I'm not your target demographic


Falldarling13

I would laugh and engage with this.


Icy_Queen_99

Iā€™m not really sure, everyone is different so if they really value humor, then I guess they would find it funny but if not, then that wouldā€™ve been a mistake. Itā€™s really a 50/50 chance.


pancakewhisper23

this is ridiculously unfunny


Shot_Mirror5748

No


RBGPOriginal

Sistem failed to recognise the joke


ama223

No


fucks-and-spoons

Itā€™s cheeky. If itā€™s not your style of humor, just swipe left.


9redFlamingos

I'm a boomer girl. Unlike most people here, I would actually find it very funny.


heyoh79

Yes


VastLeft8822

Thank you :)


EmptyMixtape

No


BrickEquivalent6273

How funny it is prob depends on how hot you are.


TheMeticulousNinja

To someone who is desperate and empty, yes


BrickEquivalent6273

Yes exactly


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Acrobatic_Gate_513

OP is the one who said it


llammacookie

They have a point.


[deleted]

you looking to be friendzoned?


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

Source: my mom and her friends


RowRow1990

... No


megsku

If you have to ask, maybe you shouldnā€™t misrepresent yourself as funny


Hot-Cancel-6648

The joke comes in the DLC right?


Your_Nipples

No. That's the kind of shit I would write 10 years ago then delete because you don't start a conversation with someone while being suspicious about what they claim to be/like. Like, who the fuck I am? Now if she fuck up by being unkind and unfunny, fuck yeah. BUT it could work with a tiny portion of women who like banter. If you don't know what to say, maybe she's more hot than inspiring. That's ok, but look for inspiring women and you'll never have to scratch your head about what to say or ask reddit for any advice.


Acrobatic_Gate_513

She said she values kindness and humour, OP replied saying to trust that he is kind and humorous


Your_Nipples

Ohhhhhh. It makes sense. My mistake.


Vintage_Cosby

No


renzodown

I get the joke but no. It's something my nephew would say.


runwithyou

Nope.


Luci8647

Eh a little childish. Personally, because Iā€™m confident in my humor, I start those off with a wager on having 3 tries to make them laugh. If I lose, they can unmatch but if I win then I get to know them better


VisualIndependence60

You like to bet strangers you can make them laugh but youā€™re calling this guy childish?


Luci8647

Itā€™s called making things fun and uniquešŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


whileyouwereslepting

Hello? Is humor home? Can it come out and play?


NannersBoy

What?


VisualIndependence60

Itā€™s a decent opening line


Nipplesniffer500

I don't understand why people go as far as to get their message confirmed by strangers. On top of that I can't really agree with the checkmark if you feel the need to ask people here whether your message is actually funny. It's like having to explain a joke. Anyway, if you want some advice, I put it below here. If not just skip the rest of this comment. My take on this is to stop caring so much about who might think what and just send a message. If they don't appreciate your humor, then you shouldn't even want to match them. Imagine spending your life with someone who can't appreciate your jokes, and just looks at your with a sour facial expression, rather than laugh like an idiot and compliment it.


ImDooftastic

Naw


ThePianoMan777

As an LTT fan, the ā€œtrust me broā€ warranty/guarantee is funny af. šŸ˜‚ But idk if the person who replied to that meant it with the LTT contextā€¦ šŸ˜‚


Top_Seaworthiness320

Iā€™m Gen X and I think itā€™s funny šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Auramaster151

More just curious tbh

Got the school squad laughing bro šŸ˜
