  • I had a feeling that might be your idea of humour! At least you know to avoid sex jokes around women: if they're misogynistic jokes you're a lost cause anyway, because they indicate a derogatory attitude towards women which isn't usually kept in a neat little box away from actual women.

    How bad are your "jokes" if you feel you have to avoid making them around women?

    • Some might be okay but some definitely are not. Maybe gay jokes are okay. But once a girl from work actually THOUGHT I was gay because I joked about it so much.

      If she seems like the type to not be weirded out I might go for it. It depends on the girl and the joke but usually I don't bother unless I know her already. So like with a female coworker I will, and have, made many sex jokes. But if I'm just meeting a girl, I don't think the benefits of trying to make sex jokes outweigh the risks.
