There's a big difference between being casually funny and jestermaxxing, which is where you have to constantly put on a performance for people. The casual funny is more a back and forth thing rather than putting on a show for her entertainment, it's a lot more organic than jestermaxxing.
Jestermaxxing is when you're having to put in far more time to entertain them than they will put in for you, hence why you are their jester. And yes it is a finite resource in the sense that time is a finite resource, you're forced to spend a significant portion of your time entertaining her in a one sided deal, knowing full well if you ever want to have time to yourself and not spend every waking moment keeping her entertained she'll ditch you in a moments notice. This is very different to what chad gets, where the woman in question will be the one trying to entertain chad, or at the very least bother him less, as in those cases he is not expendable to her.
Jestermaxxing can get really bad, to the point where the woman will expect you to do things that actively endanger your life and health for her entertainment in some of the more extreme cases, such as her trying to get you into fights with other men so you'll fight for her entertainment and such.
There is nothing women find less attractive (other than an ugly man of any description) than a man who is overtly desperate to please / impress them. Sure, I’ve seen guys who love to perform and be the centre of attention, but they are genuinely getting a kick out of making people laugh, they do not consider it ‘work’ or an unworthy expenditure of their time, they enjoy the attention and the laughs and know no other way to be.
These jesters you’re describing sound like the butt-of-the-joke incel comic relief of a social circle, they aren’t getting into relationships with women. Are you going to tell me that it’s impossible for a normie to be ‘casually funny?’ Or that when a Chad exhibits the
exact same humorous behaviour as a normie It by definition becomes ‘causal funniness’ as apposed to jestermaxxing?and that at some point between the SMV of 7.5 and 8.1 this transformative alchemy of what constitutes one over the other mysteriously takes place? I am genuinely curious because it seems to me that in order for any of this to be true there need to be so many ‘hard rules’ in place and human psychology is subject to so much more variation than you guys are making out.
Also, I think that genuine 8s are so much rarer than you lot are implying. Can you please give me an example of the lowest case of an 8/10 you can think of? Because I find it genuinely perplexing how a guy who comes across as level headed as you so often do could believe that all, or even the majority of >8 relationships are based on this dynamic of jestermaxxing when I have never in my life seen a successful, long-lasting relationship between two normies that involved a guy desperately performing for his girlfriend like a monkey whilst she sent him on quests to do battle with other men for her entertainment. It just sounds like such nonsense to me, most women I’ve seen become embarrassed when their boyfriend gets into a fight (regardless of whether they win or lose, because let’s be honest, most fights are broken up before a clear winner can be established.)
As I said before, the attention-seeking, high energy guys who genuinely pull off being funny are generally not low-status members of the social circle, because if they were they would be constantly shot down. I know for certain they are getting an ego boost out of this kind of behaviour and love the ‘funny man’ status that goes along with it. So again, despite the fact you may find it pathetic because of how hard they are trying / the effort they are exerting (and I agree anyone who devotes so much energy into provoking a physical response from others is in a way pathetic) I have known very good looking guys who act in this way also because they enjoy the attention and the ‘crazy dude’ stigma that accompanies it.
If they are getting a genuine kick out of it, an ego boost, raised social status in the group (I have never seen someone who genuinely achieved making others laugh not have their social standing improved as a result, regardless of how much effort put in to achieve it - remember I’m not talking about people who put massive effort in and fall flat on their face - of which there are many) and they are getting into relationships with women as a result, then it really looks like cope to say that they are ‘jestermaxxing’ or that their partners have 0 respect for them.
