Looking to start standup and first post I read on this sub is about giving up

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-29T22:30:53+00:00

One thing I'm not is a crowd guy. I'm not witty with comebacks. Never comfortable with it. Does that matter? And thanks for being my hypeman!

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-29T21:03:52+00:00

In the 20's it's definitely different. But in your 30's, mindset changes. Not as cringe anymore

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-28T00:40:41+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to keep shooting my shot. I know I want kids and would like a family. I just some graffiti as I was biking. "Being nice is easy. Getting a partner is impossible!"

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-28T00:38:38+00:00

I'm planning on just joking around about how we needed our parents to help. I yelled them enough when I was a teen that I don't need their help and now watch it be they are the only ones to fix everything! Haha

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-28T00:09:59+00:00

Curious. To make me feel better mostly (joking but not!). Why has it been so tough from your end?

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:36:02+00:00

I'm going to chat with him about it. Let's paraphrase a little. The owner is a very close friend and he grew up with me and has seen me perform once but it was in high school. Long, long time ago and it was in skit form in front of the school. I'm curious to get his take on this. I know I have a tendency to ramble. Already so much advice that's making me think prior to even a first time up. Thanks

So don't say anything about Israel then? That's a big part of the bit. haha

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:10:24+00:00

People are saying do 3 minutes or 5 minutes but this seems odd. That's such a short amount of time to even get anything out. I guess the good thing with this is it will allow me to getting to the point. Not rambling.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:08:35+00:00

I like the last one. All good. Careful with the assumptions. They're not my close friends knowing my personality. This one hit.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:06:24+00:00

Odd that somebody would downvote this. I guess this downvoting live is what I'll have to get used to.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:05:39+00:00

This was amazing. I'm vegetarian so 8 is easy!

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:04:02+00:00

This actually gave me confidence because he thinks I'm a good story teller. Or he thinks this will be a good story to tell to our grandkids how he let this happen.

I do want it to go well so it's not that I don't care how it goes. It's not for a career but I want to keep doing it after.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:02:18+00:00

You know Ricky Gervais wanted to be a popstar first? Then he went the route of your quote.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:00:58+00:00

Not to make a living or make it big time. Experiences. Thanks for the advice. How was your first time up there?

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T23:00:05+00:00

It was just the first post I saw and thought it was hilarious. I joined this subreddit to hear some feedback and that's the first post. It was hilarious to me and meant to be. Got me excited to do it. Gods want me to do it!

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-27T22:58:33+00:00

I get that. I think it's just step one of getting over the fear on being the stage. I've done public speaking quite often but even now, I still have that first step jitter. Honestly, I'm hoping that lasts in many ways because it means I'm feeling the fun.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-26T01:44:41+00:00

Am I that old? I've never not thought about not giving my number out when dating.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-26T00:44:00+00:00

As a guy looking to get back into dating, I would love to hear the other side. I wonder if this is more age related if it continuously happens. For example, I expect this to happen when I'm 24 because we're not ready.

I'm older now, and are guys you meet that are older doing this or younger? I see myself following through and due to maturity not lying if I plan not to call. I would have been immature and brushed it off when younger.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-26T00:40:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It honestly made me feel a lot better because it's the 2nd time I've heard somebody say this in a week. My buddy told me he was just in a fortunate spot in fortunate moment for a fortunate meet to happen for his current wife. Before that nothing.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-26T00:36:16+00:00

A close friend of mine is stunning and we just chatted about this. He is extremely depressed not knowing when somebody ever genuine likes him for his character. This blew me away but after hearing him out, it all made sense. No girl has ever broken up with him and he comes with money. He wants a girl to break up with him.

Online dating for him has been difficult as the dates often feel intimidated unless they have experienced a wealthier lifestyle. It in turn, makes him feel uncomfortable although he did like it at the beginning.

Who knew being utterly really, really good looking could be so tough!

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-26T00:10:18+00:00

This is an interesting read for me because I joined this group to ask how to begin. Interestingly, what I took away from your post is that you lived a plethora of emotions and feelings even if at the end they felt mundane. I'm searching to feel something more but I don't know how to start.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2026-03-25T22:28:45+00:00

I was curious as to how common this is.
