Did only half the people see what he was doing? Did only half consider it funny? Was what he was doing inappropriate? Is he H/A/M? |

Are half the people male and 1/2 the people female? yes Did only half the people see what he was doing? no, everyone Did only half consider it funny? yes, explore Was what he was doing inappropriate? no, everyone else could do it and it would not be inappropriate Is he H/A/M? yes How many people are present? Just 2 (him and one other person)? A few? 10s? 100s? more? the exact amount isn't relevant, but everyone must be able to see what he did, so let's say anywhere between 4 - 30 people |

Were they in a... House? Public Place? Shop? School? Office? Hospital? Stadium? Did he do the same as the people present? Were the people present an audience? Is the mans occupation relevant? If he was female would this have happened? Are the people present HAM and HAF? Are they exactly divided into male and female? Are they at some event? A concert? Sporting event? Acting/singing involved? Any particular reason why the era is in modern times? Is some new invention relevant? Some new structure? Some new rule? |

mistakes: is his social standing below the others? I said "yes, after what he did", but the answer should have been "yes, for some". Also for clarification, what he did was almost 100% as when others did it, but it did come out differently. |

Did everyone else make the same sound as one another? Or did they all make a different sound according to some rule or pattern (such as everyone make the sound of your favorite animal)? Was the sound made spontaneously by everyone? Or was it planned? |

By one of the members of the group? By all of the group? Are all members of the group equal? Are all members of the group and the man equal? Were thy equal before this incident?

Did the music come from: a phone? some computer? An mp3 player? A CD player? Was the music even coming from an object? Was it electronic? Powered by batteries? Did you have to plug it in? Did everyone have this object? Was it in their pockets when it emitted sound? Did they make it emit sound (by pushing a button etc.) or did it come on automatically? Did someone else activate this sound? Something else? Were the people surprised when the sound was emitted? Were they given these objects at the party? Was the man laughed at because of the music he emitted? Or because of the timing of when it came out? Was the music a song? Or an instrumental? Am I OTRT or am I completely off? |

"Really on the right track now"--though both guesses were wrong?? But anyway, I'll ask a few more: If it were a woman who had played the song that caused the laughter, would the other women, but not the men, have laughed? Did the women purposely not laugh because laughing would have implied something negative about them? or would they have had no reason to laugh at all? |

I meant that the questions were on the right track But anyway, I'll ask a few more: If it were a woman who had played the song that caused the laughter, would the other women, but not the men, have laughed? no Did the women purposely not laugh because laughing would have implied something negative about them? no or would they have had no reason to laugh at all? you can see this 2 ways: they had nothing to laugh about because they didn't think it was weird, or they did have something to laugh about because they did find it odd. What happened in this example is that they had nothing to laugh about because it wasn't funny for them, but a different group of women could have laughed |

Had the men (and only them) heard the same song (the one that prompted the laughter) before, on a different but relevant occasion? Just to make sure, so the women understood WHY the song was funny, but didn't FIND it funny themselves? Did they only know why it was funny in hindsight, after observing the men laugh? or would they have known it would be funny to the men even had they heard it before the men laughed? |

So the song in itself wasn't funny, right? Was the way he sung it funny? Did he make a mistake in the text? Did he have a foreign accent? Was his voice funny? Did he sound like a woman? Would it be funny if they only heard him and didn't see him? Was the humor in a mismatch between how he looked and how he sounded? |

Does his song choice reflect a peculiar taste in music? Is it a song that is typically enjoyed by children? Or women? |

Do the men laugh because it was a weird song for him to choose? Is his name relevant? The title of the song? Subculture relevant? Like he's a punk rocker and puts on music by a boy band? |

Spice Girls? Does the song appear to describe him in some way? Belittle him? Sexual orientation relevant? Something he said relevant? something he did (except for choosing that song)? Would someone not knowing him also find it funny? How he looked relevant? |

I don't understand the answer "Yes, but not all women." Attempting to clarify. The women who were there did not find it funny -- is that because they know him? Is it true that some women who do not know him would find it funny? Is it true that some women who do not know him would not find it funny? Is it true that no women would find it funny? Women who know him but were not present...would they find it funny? |

I don't understand the answer "Yes, but not all women." Attempting to clarify. a better answer is then "yes, but not all women who exist would find it funny" The women who were there did not find it funny -- is that because they know him? no Is it true that some women who do not know him would find it funny? whether you know him or not won't influence anyone finding it funny Is it true that some women who do not know him would not find it funny? yes Is it true that no women would find it funny? no Women who know him but were not present...would they find it funny? most wouldn't |

Would most women genuinely not find it funny and not realize why it was funny? Or would they understand why the men found it funny, but find it offensive/in bad taste? |

Also, a recap: Everyone picked a song they wanted to hear. He picked a song by a girl band. The men all laughed. The women didn't. All correct? Was he the only man who picked a girl band? Was picking the girl band out of character for him? For example, was he a weight lifter, football player, or other masculine athlete? Or was he generally into heavy metal or some other masculine music choice? Was it the fact that he chose a girl band that was funny? Or the specific song he chose. For example, did he choose a song along the lines of "Girl Power," "men suck," or "I like boys"? |

For example, did he choose a song along the lines of "Girl Power," "men suck," or "I like boys"? the song he chose was the other part that made it funny - but he didn't choose a girl-themed song |

Recap: a guy plays a song at a party. Because of this all men laugh at him. So what kind of song was it? It wasn't a girl-themed song. |

Relevant what the song was about? Or is only the song title relevant? Is a physical characteristic of the man relevant? A social characteristic? |

Does the song have gestures or dance moves that are commonly used while singing it? Did the man make up his own gestures or dance moves? |

Was it sung in a strange voice? no, explore Perhaps in a falsetto? I don't completely understand what this is, but yes, it was sung in a high tone of voice/pitch Recap: a guy plays a song at a party. Because of the song's singing and instrumentation all men laugh at him and the women don't. It wasn't a girl-themed song. I need to hear one specific word that's needed to solve this. This word sums up the singing and the instrumentation. |

Falsetto is singing above your natural range. Think "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. Is the word an adjective? If so, was it cutesy? Girlie? Effeminate? Childish? |

Think "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. ******SPOILER******* Is the word an adjective? yes If so, was it cutesy? Girlie? yes! That's it! Effeminate? Childish? no This happened to me! I was at a party and everyone was playing their music. I chose "Long hot summer" by Girls Aloud, this is a girly/cutesy song. When the song started playing and it was clear what type of song it was, all men started laughing at me. The women however, they liked the song and they thought it was weird that the men laughed at me. So it was a good thing after all. |
