You need to learn how to control it if you remotely want a chance with a woman. You laugh like that they’re gona think you’re a idiot.
Or worse. But that's a good start.

Well then, don't worry about it. They aren't going to have anything to do with you anyway...unless you have fistfuls of $100 bills.

I think he is using "dimes" as some pseudo-cool term to mean women who are a "10"

Do you chuckle, knee-slap, guffaw, or other?

A couple of years ago, you had a thread about your "terrifying fear of attractive women" and how you went out of your way to avoid all women as much as possible. Nothing about laughing at or being "tickled" by them.

Did something change?

Dimes. As in she's a "10".

Any theories? I’ve been like this since I was a kid
It's nervous laughter.

My advice is this:

1. Relax. Try taking some deep easy calm breaths.
2. Stop staring at them.
3. Stop using a scale of 1-10 to describe a human being.
4. Stop referring to women as females. They are not animals.

Inappropriate laughter is a defense mechanism.
