Now any woman that I would consider dating would have to not only be a fan of my writing, but a fan of those I find funny. I was married to a woman without an appreciable sense of humor for over 20 years. She didn't laugh at my humor, but she was orgasmic. I'm not sure which one of those two qualities I find more important. Maybe I can find a woman who combines both!
Did you NOT see my previous post?
Female aversion to sex? Geesh, you must be meeting the wrong females! I can't believe some people have sex without laughing. Sex IS funny! and fun.
Geesh, pay attention!

Posted: 7/3/2009 7:47:29 AM | | Someone with a sense of humor would mean to me someone that is not dry, and sarcastic, or too overly trying to be cute. A sense of humor is not #1 on my list, but I certanily don't want to spend my time around someone that is a fuddy duddy. I like just being silly sometimes, and it's a good way to flirt. You don't have to tell me jokes, just be playful!!! | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 1:10:27 PM | Laughter really IS the best medicine! I can't help but laugh, and hearing my son laugh out loud is the best soune in the world!
The other day he was in the back seat and I asked him if he knew the song "The Hokey Pokey"; he said "Yeah, dad". I told him the man who wrote that song was from Detroit, his name was Larry Laprise and he died this week. He said "Aw, that's sad".
Then I told him his family had a hard time getting him into the coffin; see, they put his right foot in, and well, you know the rest...
It's silent for about three seconds and then he lost it! If you;d seen him you'd have thought he was being tasered! He laughed til he cried and, sucking air says "Then they put his left foot in dad...hahahahahah!
Now THAT'S funny! | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 1:20:28 PM | OP who knows anymore what women really want or really mean.
Here's the thing. If you can laugh at yourself and also see humor in the crazy ass world around us you are going to meet some nice people. Just be you.
Heck my profile is full of tacky Vegas 3 rd rate comic fish puns but it makes me laugh so that's what is important. If it makes a women laugh then we are compatible if it doesn't then we probably wouldn't get along anyway so who cares?
Take my wife...please!
Iwent to the doctor and said "doc, it hurts when i do this!" He said "don't do that!"

Posted: 7/3/2009 2:40:43 PM | | citydweller: The hokey pokey joke is one of my very favorites. I'm glad your son got the joke and enjoyed it so much. One of the best things about my sons is our ability to joke and tease each other. | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 6:49:23 PM | I like to practice my sorry sense of humor with the girl at the grocery store checkstand. After all, she puts up with a lot in a day.
Today I got a coupon for 10% off on my next purchase, so I asked what my discount would be on $3,000 worth of groceries, since I may not shop for a year.
$300!
Does that include cat toys (asking VERY sincerely)?
Yes it does! (laughing)
Add cats into your humor, it never fails. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 3:16:33 PM | | I love a guy with a great sense of humor. Hey, if I'm having a down day (due to work or other things), I find it awesome when my man can make me laugh. Be it watching a funny movie, cracking jokes, or making faces. At the same token, there are times to be serious. Some folks (men & women) do live 24/7 by comedy. That would be a bit much for me. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 3:27:10 PM | so a woman who thinks a sense of humor is laughing at her jokes is way off base (per your comments), but then you go on to say that while this is not "the most important quality" that you look for in a woman, it's cool as long as she laughs at yours??
you sound like you're just annoyed at the fact that the women you've met DON'T laugh at your jokes......hmm, maybe this means you should find a new profession "funny person". | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 3:39:14 PM | | Maybe it's just the way I took it, but I think when he said "As long as she laughs at my jokes" he was making a joke. I think this is a perfect example of what this thread is all about. I took his comment one way and spottyjackson took it in another direction. I think some people just see things differently. Humor is subjective. | |

IT JUST DOES, OKAY?
What do you call a cow with no legs?
Ground Beef.
Actually, I prefer a sense of humor that is not based all on jokes. The witty repartee, a little sarcasm, being silly, the off the wall comment and so on. | |

Posted: 7/5/2009 6:24:09 AM | To me, a sense of humor is very important but there's a difference between someone who is irresponsible and just wants to joke around and be funny versus someone who is responsible and dependable but can still come up with something funny to say in a depressing situation that helps to keep spirits up.
For example, as my family was gathered outside my father's hospital room, trying to fathom that he was dying, someone commented that my grandmother was so much older...........we thought she would have gone first not my father.........and my husband piped up with, "She will live forever because the Devil and God are fighting over who is getting stuck with her..............Not me.....You take her.....OH, no....You take her." Well, we cracked up...........You would have to know my grandmother to really appreciate it but the ability to inject a little humor in a sad situation and still remain adult and responsible is what I consider having a sense of humor. He wasn't going around telling jokes all the time or always being funny but both of us could find the humor in some situations even in bad times. | |

I'm with you, Star. I'm not a big "joke" person. It's the obscure one-liners that I love...the stuff many people don't get. I love to laugh and the biggest laughs I have are usually from a spontaneous exchange with someone. One of my fellow managers at work has some GREAT one-liners about things happening in the office and she cracks me up. My office is in the middle of the Customer Service area and the reps tell me they can hear me laugh and it makes them laugh too.
I think that we all think the best sense of humor is the one that is compatible with ours. :) | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 1:47:36 PM | | OP, you will not last long in this life without a sense f humor about the world or yourself. It's not so much about laughing as it is about being able to deal with life as it is and enjoying it! It also relieves the typical stree in life that most if all of us don't have in one form or another. No need to be a jackass just see the comedy in life! | |
