| | is a sense of humour really that important to people as much as they say?Page 3 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | | It's not that someone has to be funny themselves - that's different than a sense of humor. They need to be able to see the humor in situations, and to have an easygoing temperament. If someone finds many of the same things I find funny entertaining as well, we will have many happy hours laughing together - that's a good thing! | |

Posted: 8/24/2007 7:31:33 AM | | Actually, that's the only thing I miss about my ex husband....he was hilarious ! That was about the only thing that we really had in common and we could look at each other, imagine the joke that was going on in our heads, and crack up ! Usually, it was the wrong place and the wrong time.....but it was still funny to us ! Humor is a must with me....I'd much rather be laughing than crying. What's irritating are those people that try to be humorous and laugh at themselves...but they're not funny. Really annoying.... | |

Posted: 8/24/2007 7:38:16 AM | | A SHARED sense of humor is important, it helps break the ice really fast and seems to be the key in helping two people feel relaxed and comfortable with one another after. I know sex can do that also..but then no one feels used or risks getting other than a side ache from laughing too hard afterwards instead. If it's a really good joke it's worth it. Avoid laughing during sex, that's just impolite.. | |

Posted: 10/6/2007 6:58:14 PM | Sense of humor is high on the list for me.
It just is. It doesn't work when it's by itself. it works with a combo. (physical attraction + sense of humor + having a lot in common = break the ice easier)
It's like ketchup. It's good but works better when with other things... not by itself. | |

Posted: 10/6/2007 7:31:24 PM | With about the ability to laugh and smile together...where is the soul and spirit to get thru life together?...a smile, a laugh, a kind word or gentle touch is the bond that gets you thru the dark times in life and back into the good times...so yes...humor is the light in the darkness that will always get you thru | |

Gimme endorphins and make 'em strong. Life sucks sometimes - for all of us. If you can't laugh, it doesn't get better. | |

Posted: 10/6/2007 8:03:37 PM | | I like a sense of humor. A person that has a light, fresh perspective is just fun to be around all of the time. People sometimes overanalye and take themselves too seriously. I would like to be able to talk to them about the serious stuff, but also be able to laugh at each other most of the time. | |

Posted: 10/6/2007 8:10:07 PM | I'd rather have funny than hot for a number of reasons (such as, it's stimulating on more than one level and stands to last longer than good looks). And although I don't know how long I could handle a 'Jim Carrey', I wouldn't mind trying. I still laugh about (and share) funny things my brilliantly funny ex said years ago.
I love ketchup. | |

Posted: 10/6/2007 8:12:13 PM | To me a sense of houmour is top of my list.
Thats not to say appearance and habits and morals etc are not a part of it , they really are but to make me smile, to giggle at same things is attractive.
Its like body language.
Phychologists say mirrorin subtly someones actions makes us attractive to them i think it same bout wave lengths.
If you go out with someone and they think theyre funny and you dont you get tired of them quick. You go out in a crowd of your friends or with family and they start tellin jokes and its met by stoney silence its embarasin and it all wears very thin , very fast if you get me lol x | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 10:36:15 AM | I enjoy life and myself so I have a sense of humor or the other way around I have a sense of humor so I enjoy life and myself.
Buffon type humor is yuk!
I read this when I was a teen.
Life is a jest, all things show it.
I thought so once and now I know it.
Dance of Death, 16th century French book.
Humor is one of the best ways to teach too. My 6 year old grand daughter wanted to learn to sew but she did not want to sit and do it. I got out one of my dolls and started hand sewing on it. Everytime I put the needle through the material I pretended to stick myself and made funny comments about it. She was laughing and enjoying herself so much she finished her sewing without realizing it. She is also positive grandmama is really silly and cant sew at all. I sew all the time. I sell dolls that I make for $50 each. So the joke is on her.
There goes a group of happy school kids. I live across from the fire dept. All the kids are wearing plastic fire helmets. They had been touring the fire house.
Used to be an emt. In emergency situations the jokes are what keep us going.
In Native American society the Trickster is a teacher of wisdom. The Heyoka live a life that is contrary. They teach by playing jokes on themselves or on others. if it a joke played on someone else the joke is carefully planned to suit the persons temperment. It is not haphazard jokes.
Wikipedia;In societies where the Freedom of Speech was not recognized as a right, the court jester - precisely because anything he said was by definition "a jest" and "the uttering of a fool" - could speak frankly on controversial issues in a way in which anyone else would have been severely punished for, and monarchs understood the usefulness of having such a person at their side.
Laughter washes away tears and lightens a lot of loads.
After one very stressful day at the ER an emt paramedic, one of the best, broke the stress by calling in from his ambulance that he was bringing in a burn patient with burns over 80 percent of the body. Have burn unit ready. Doctor at the door. Ambulance pulls up. Burn team on its toes at the door. The paramedic and co worker rush gurney out of ambulance an rush it through the door. Doctors and nurses jump to assit the victim, a pan of burnt cinnamon rolls. EMTs ran for the ambulance leaving rolls and doctors staring at each other. The staff had a good laugh and the tension was broken.
A sense of humor is top of my list from my point of view as I explained here. Honor and responsibility are right there with a sense of humor. | |

And all the politically correct crap is an effort by those without a sense of humor, to make those that do, toe their line. The world would have a lot less conflict and problems, if more people had a better sense of humor.
Just my two cents of humor.   | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 11:27:32 AM | Of course a sence of humour is part of a attraction of a person.I could not possibly consider spending my life with somebody that hasnt got one. Also looks are important. So if you find a partner with both your laughing but sometimes it dosent work out that way.So if he or she hasnt got the looks you have to make sure you got a bloody good sence of humour | |

Even if he looked like Brad Pitt.. seriously... blah.. if you cant laugh at yourself and others and awaken with a smile on your face.. might as well jump of a bridge... VERY IMPORTANT | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 12:08:47 PM | | OP. I think sense of humour means the ability not to take life too seriousely, in other words, no-body wants to be round a miserable person. I personally don't like it when guys crack jokes at me continually, but I like it when we can have a laugh about the irony of life in general. There are some guys on here (and women) who are really po-faced and overly moralistic. I think that's possibly what they mean. As for it being more important than looks, I think if a guy is good looking but completely miserable to be around, then he doesn't make good company, but if a guy has a good sense of irony, he will at the very least be entertaining, even if he isn't so physically attractive. | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 12:58:59 PM | Sense of humor is critical - but that does not mean jim carey/buffoon/class clown humor. Personally i love a sharp wit and someone that can engage in rapid fire banter - SMART humor, not juvenile. being able to laugh with someone is one of the most important parts of a relationship. It's what gets you through the bad days.
Is it more important than looks? i've met some gorgeous people that were boring as heck. I've met some okay looking people that i've laughed for hours with and as a result found very attractive. Chemistry isn't all about looks. Having similar senses of humor is a major factor in "chemistry". It's CHEMISTRY that is most important. | |
