Delivery matters.i make dirty jokes and teasing comments, girls react with a smile and a playful attitude
my friend (who's kinda weird looking and shorter than me) says the exact same kind of stuff, the reaction he gets is plain disgust and a general 'get away from me creep' attitude
You can joke about almost anything (unless your social circle consists of snowflakes) as long as your delivery conveys your intention - that is, to joke. If you begin mumbling halfway through the sentence and stare intensely while your tone veers into some creepy territory then you all your rehearsal of “100 best Hitler jokes” goes to waste. Most social skills are innate and picked up from observing fellow humans. Even autists (albeit very high-functioning ones) can mimic some semblance of propriety and deliver a joke. Your friend is hopeless. Grant him a mercy kill.
I used to hang out with a mostly male group of friends, all of them average-looking, same-ish social status. No definite outliers. Yet we still had one common bully target in our circle because the dude was absolutely unable to:
1. take a joke
2. joke himself without adding awkward "hehe" at the end or spoiling the joke with his unconfident mumble
