After being on here for about a month one commen thread with woman on here is mostly sense of humor is huge for them. The only problem I have with this is not true it only plays a little part. Well what do you think am I really wrong?

Sorry, slfd, in my eyes, humor is extremely important. It's in my profile- you need to be able to laugh at what life hands you & especially at yourself. So far the only person I felt a connection with here had a wonderful offbeat sense of humor. Laughter makes the heart warm up.

Have to agree with Jersey........sense of humour is the first thing I notice about someone when I'm talking on here. If you can't talk to someone and laugh about things....then how are you going to get through all the crap life throws at you?! Just cause someone's "pretty" on the outside doesn't mean they are on the inside and "pretty" on the outside fades......pretty on the inside doesn't! A great place to start to find the "pretty" is with a great sense of humour! At least that's my humble opinion but then again, I have a seriously twisted sense of humour, so what do I know? lmao

Sense of humor is a big deal to me too. The ex could never tell when i was kidding... eventually I stopped being me. I like to joke around ,and she made me feel bad for it.

I always look for a sense of humour to. That said nobody is expecting a full stand up comedy rutine. Just someone who doesn't take everything overly serious all the time.

I've always seen the "sense of humour" request analogous to asking that you be human, attractive, and devoid of serious mental defects.. It's one of those things where you've never seen someone ask for the opposite.. I can see it now..

"Looking for an unattractive, mentally unstable radiation mutant that is unable to comprehend even the simplest "Chicken/Road" joke. Inability to even smile a bonus, and DNA mixes with Platypus or Koala bear preferred although willing to entertain other crosses. Must be boring, simple-minded, and communicate in grunts and clicks. Must also love dogs, but not eating them."

Although.. if someone posted that ad, I'd add them to my favourites in a heartbeat.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< that lady over there loves to laugh
And the funniest times are when I find myself laughing at something I've done, when the only ones here are my dog and I!!!
I think people that seek another who has a "sense of humor" are those that just know how to see/hear the 'funny' things and appreciate them.

I also concure - humor is very important for me. Life is hard enough without taking everything so seriously. I have a rather warped sense of humor and am playful in nature. I wouldn't be comfortable with a man who couldn't have fun and laugh at life.

It's a fact that laughter is also good for you as it releases some great chemicals in the brain that bring a calm happy feeling but it can also enhance the bond between a man and woman.

Humor is also a unique characteristic that is only understood by someone who shares a similar sense of humor. So finding someone who shares in that sense of humor means finding someone who can understand us on a deeper level. It adds a different dimension to the communications and eases the every day stress of life.

The greatest joy in life is the laughter of those we love!

I agree a sense of humor is vital! I would go crazy if I didn't find comic relief in some of lifes events! And yes, I have to laugh at myself all the time or I would have no self-esteem! I'm a fairly intelligent person but tend to do & say goofy things that if I didn't laugh about, I'd walk around with my head hangin' all the time!

On the flip side, there are times when serious discussion needs to happen and 2 people should be capable of doing that as well.

Had to add to this! I just know my animals either have a sense of humor or just think I'm nuts!

I love to laugh. I love to play. I love clever repartee. I'm as much a fan of corny Three Stooges humor as I am droll New Yorker humor. Maybe even more so.

I write serious posts because I get caught up in discussions and I love analyzing situations or ideas. But I'm not all that serious all the time. I laugh a lot.... and sometimes I even giggle. I'm very attracted to a man who is in tune with my sense of humor and can offer his own in return.

Some of the happiest laughter can happen at the most intimate of times. If a couple can laugh together in bed, they are very lucky.

I love it when a man can make me smile... I can get so stressed... that if they have the ability to make me laugh! smile! or just plain grin! They score big in my books.

If someone has the ability to make me laugh that is huge. It releases endorphins when you laugh, which makes you feel good and in turn makes you feel more comfortable with someone.

You know what? I have dated some very attractive and intelligent guys, but they have bored me. Why? because they did not have sense of humor. Why is that important you may ask? If you cannot crack up once in a while, and have fun with the person you are with, or trying to connect with , then life has become far to serious. I have been through some tough times in my life, but if it was not for my sense of humor, and that of others around me, I doubt very much that I would have survived. So yes, a sense of humor is very important.

Humour?????????
HUGE in my list of things I want in a partner. P nut: LOVED what you wrote...... very funny indeed. There is humour in everything, and from that point I base all of mine.

YOU ARE SO WRONG. I love humour and wit in a man. The current guy I am dating seriously is just witty altogether. Being that he's from New Zealand, he has a way of expressing himself in a very snarky, witty way. I don't know if it's just the way they are in NZ, but he's possibly the wittiest man I have ever met...and mind you, I used to date witty, sarcastic writers.

While listening to one of these e-books - the speaker made a point on this.

Have you EVER met someone that said they did not have a good sense of humor?

People would rather admit they are an axe murderer than admit that they don’t have a good sense of humor.

I think women like to laugh... I mean, who doesn't? I don't even want to know someone that is stone faced and dead inside...

But, there is more to it... I mean like the OP was alluding to...

Most women need more... many times, unless you are friends first, or whatever... they need to find you sexually appealing. Many women... and men for that matter, simply won't take the time to learn more and discover more about a person...


Sense of humor is a big deal to me too. The ex could never tell when i was kidding... eventually I stopped being me. I like to joke around ,and she made me feel bad for it.


I heard that.
------------------------------
Personally... I think humor matters a lot. But, usually you need a pretty face to get your foot in the door first. Many people might disagree.. but, I think real world results speak for themselves... much more than any internet forum post...

I know I'm picky... I guess... I mean, I suppose I can't really afford to be... but, then again, how can afford not to be?

I'm a weird guy and I need a weird girl... And, whether or not I'm funny or attractive, or have any other desirable qualities... well, is debatable at best.

the giggleparts - So, what did they rate you? F+

I always appreciate a good sense of humor in others. And by 'sense of humor' I don't mean being funny, I mean being able to laugh, genuinely laugh, at your own foolishness. I like people who can grin at all those little imperfections they find in themselves. I've found it's a good indicator of being well-grounded, a sign that the person has the humility to have some idea who they are. When you know who you are and what you have to offer and what you don't, you don't feel as though you have to be beyond reproach in all arenas. You can take a joke. Plus it's just a fact that you become much funnier once you finally realize what a clown you are.

I love someone I can get goofy with. A sense of humor is very important for one's sanity. I think it gets us through life way easier. It's a good thing. I want a man with one.
