I'll admit that some jokes go over my head lol but for the most part I think I have a pretty good sense of humor. Today, though, one of my classes was cancelled, but I end up running into one of those classmates somewhere else on campus. I say hi to him and he says hi back and then asks me if I was ditching class. I just laugh a little and ask wasn't class cancelled (on the off-chance that my professor was able to have class after all, silly me). He replies "yeah I was trying to make a joke" but he said it in a way that sounded kind of annoyed. I was just like, oh ok, and left it at that. Well, for the rest of the time he just tries to keep a huge distance away from me. It kind of makes me feel bad, but then again, being sleep-deprived and overworked, i don't try to hold myself to perfection anymore. Idk what do y'all think? It honestly makes me feel bad when guys start hating on me for not having the right sense of humor or something.

Honestly, the more men keep their distance from you, the better. Try not to let it get to you. Random men's opinion do not matter.
It's probably a bit of a neg. Red pill has taught men that it's in their benefit to make women feel off balance and "less than".
Either way, what a douche.
Omg. It wasn't even a joke. It was just a snide, unfunny remark. I had to re-read your post multiple times to try and find the part where he told a joke. It's just more boring, dumb word vomit out of the mouths of men.
Don't sweat it. A person getting annoyed because you didn't get a joke is the one with the problem. From time to time, jokes fly over all our heads so I don't get his issue. Oh wait, I do because as the title of your post says - he's one of those guys that acts like a woman is too serious. We are allowed to not understand something or understand what was said and not find it amusing, if the thing that is said is crass or just not funny.
This is another form of misogyny - where men feel that if women aren't falling down laughing at what they said, then these women are "uptight".
To hell with men like these!
No. Thats a comedic misstep. He made an inane joke with out context, and he rolled that joke into a greeting rather than fitting it into the context of a conversation, while greeting someone who he has little-to-no raport with. It's his fault you didnt get his joke, because it was a badly executed joke. He overestimates his comedic skills.
Scrotes always get testy when women don’t laugh at their jokes.
Whenever that happens to me, I just look at him the same way I would if he told me he just shit his pants, and say "...Oh." And walk away. And forget all about him and his unfunny joke.
He's insecure. He was trying to control you in some way (either by making you laugh and/or making YOU feel insecure) and it obviously didn't work, so now he doesn't know what to do with himself.
Don't waste your time overthinking it. Men's opinions are worthless. They need to earn their place in my life before I care what they think.
Im considered serious and too stuck up because Im not open to have fun with men. Fun is playing like a child but to men fun is sleeping with you for free until they decide if you are worth having as a bang maid and house keeper. Or not after they are done with you they settle for a virgin.
Decenter men from your life. Who GAF what this scrote thinks??
I agree with Rayna, don't let these men get you down. I'm the same way, some jokes go over my head as well. Example, I hurt my arm lifting weights and went to the doctor for the pain. She comes in and asks me "What were you doing lifting weights?" in a strange tone and I just looked at her. She said it again and I was like "Uh, working out?". It was only until days later that I realized she was trying to make a joke and I totally didn't get it. All that to say, don't worry about your social skills, different people have different humor; it would literally be impossible for you to understand every joke that people throw at you. Besides, it's not your job to be any man's personal clown.
I relate to this so much 😅
At best I just understand that they are trying to be funny but I don't find their humour funny ; I've tried.
So i end up giving a very burdened sad smile which offends them.
I guess they are just "sensitive" and need to "loosen up a bit" and "not take it so seriously" when someone doesn't laugh hysterically at their so called humour.
💅
Even if his joke had been funny in the first place, if you're not sleeping well, are under stress, and want to strengthen your social skills, the fact that you could respond at all is honestly a win. Agree with the other comments that his reaction is plain strange, though. In similar situations where I didn't catch the other person's drift, they'd be neutral about it, laughed it off, or also got flustered. Being petty like this guy is weird.
If he keeps avoiding you then I'd also count that as a win.
So what I'm hearing is, you had two wins today!
Don't worry about it, scrotes always think they're funny. So many men think that just because they made one joke that landed in 2013 they have a "great personality" or that they're "the funny one" 🙄
I have a weird sense of humour as well, I can tell when people are joking but I don't find 99.99% of any of it worth a laugh so it ends up awkward. Just be yourself, you're fine and you don't owe anyone your smile.
"trying to ditch class?" was meant to be a joke? it doesnt really sound like an obvious joke more that he was mad at his lack of social skills and charisma lol
He wasn't even funny.
