Dating: Do men enjoy humor?
Ask any woman what traits she would like in a man, and I can imagine a sense of humor is mentioned a lot. Women love to laugh, so the man who knows how to bring joy and laughter to a woman is a virtual chick whisperer!
Do men feel the same way we do about the importance of humor in a mate? Some would argue that they do not. In fact, many have said that wit and humor can actually count against a woman to some men.
What is it about funny women that is so off putting, though? I seriously thought that a happy, fun, jovial woman would be appealing to a man who loves to laugh.
Are funny women sexy? One of my twitter friends asked, “Do men like women with a sense of humor?” and further, is there such a thing as too much humor?

“Do men like women with a sense of humor?”
Not just yes but HELLZ YES!!!!!
I want women in my life who are interesting and entertaining as well as attractive. To paraphrase my frequent statement, “sex is easy in Atlanta…finding an interesting woman is far harder”.

Example…
The lady I was in my last relationship with, before we ever met in person, had a talent for stimulating me with her texts. We had been texting back and forth for a few days when I asked her what she was wearing (to get a visual). She texted back, “a miniskirt, four inch heels, and no panties”. She was sharp and funny.

A great sense of humor is as sexy as any physical trait.

What man doesn’t like a woman with a sense of humor? Women with humor are charming how in the hell does that count against them? I know dating has changed from the past, this new age of thinking is probably why it is so tough for some guys to get a date. Uptight and introverted will drain all the humor out of any relationship.

I truly believe it’s a myth about men not liking a woman with a sense of humor. Heck all of the couples I know that joke around with each other have the most amazing connection I’ve seen thus far. Laughter is the best medicine. I can’t help it, I’m quick witted and have a good sense of humor, it’s never been a throne in any of my relationships. I’ve never heard a man say he would like to date a prude!

good morning folks. sense of humor by itself isn’t so important as a compatible sense of humor. goodness knows there are hella comedians that make beaucoup bucks that I don’t find funny in the least. of course, their success indicates that someone somewhere thinks they are funny. if laughter is important to you, find someone who makes you laugh. I’m not a fan of silly people or folks who “play too much” but that’s not to say that someone else wouldn’t find those people hilarious.

BF – imo, pranksters and practical jokers fall under the play too much category. I have very little patience/tolerance for that and then people say I have no sense of humor. I’m like tell me a joke and if it’s funny I’ll laugh. booby traps, whoopee cushions, putting my stapler in jello (worked at a job once where they constantly pranked each other) – all that is playing too much.

Humor is always good. Most times I’m funny when not trying to be. That sort of thing runs in my family….especially with my brothers. One of my brothers is always the center of attention in talking about the things he’s observed. Everybody is constantly ca-racking up at him but he’s almost oblivious to it.
I haven’t been in one relationship except the kid’s dad aka Bitty Bobby where they weren’t always laughing. Not trying to be funny but I guess I was…lol Now, pranks (whoopee cushion), cheesy stuff, crass slick sexual remarks? None of that is funny. Being humourous IMO is effortless, lighthearted and causes no physical harm to folks nor does it insults. Too it’s not just for women to keep it light. I like a funny man. I have a big laugh and I like laughing.

A sense of humor is fine; witty and sharp is nice. Loud and obnoxious, not so much. I know a few chicks that think they’re funny, but really, they talk non-stop and are pretty loud. It’s nice to get away from them after awhile.

Morning All!!
I’ve always been a bit of a nut and need a man that can appreciate it. My parents were that way, so I get it honest. They were strict, but no they were not walking around with a stick all day! They had fun, especially my mother. She could have you rolling with her impressions of people! I’m the same way with the kids. They know when I’m serious, but the other 90% of the time I like to have fun.
Yes, I’ve been told by men in the past that I was silly. They were sticks in the mud and had no sense of humor. That’s why we didn’t make it, among other things. Life is tough enough on the regular. If I can’t come home and chill and laugh with you, it’s like I’m in prison and I’m not doing any time! For those dudes that don’t like humor, they’ll be the first one saying chick is mean & bitter!
disco – While I love humor, there is a fine line. I’ve never been into physical humor and pranks much. I’ve never found it funny when someone trips or stumbles or things like that. Whoopee cushions & such – just not funny to me.

BF/kimmie – I have to admit that I’ll laugh at a good racial joke, a good homosexual joke, a good religion joke. if it’s funny, it’s funny. of course, said jokes have to be said at the right time in the right company or they can go left quickly.

Quick witted and quick thinking is the key for me…not humor expressly. My transition lover would have a sharp reply before I could even get my comment fully out.
I’ve met too many women (in bars I mean) who were stunning until one looked at their eyes and there was no light behind them…sort of an empty vessel. That said however, if one suggests to a woman that you are really impressed with her quick wit, she will generally be very proud of the compliment

“transition lover” is the relationship you get in to after breaking off a long term relationship or marriage. He/she helps you heal, restores your confidance, and then kicks you out of the nest. Mine lasted two years after a divorce from a long marriage.

Someone on line defines it etter”’
Before you go too much farther… do you know what a transition lover is? If you’re newly single you are looking for someone to fill the void that your ex has left in your heart. You’re looking for someone to provide comfort and validation.
Enter the Transition Lover… your “soul mate,” the person you were meant to spend your life with. He, or she, completes you, providing the comfort and validation you so critically need.
The transition lover may awaken passions you haven’t felt for years or may never have felt before and it’s easy to start planning a future with him or her.

What up….a sense of humor is great, but like abc’s 10:28, please do not cross into obnoxious…I think it can become a negative when a woman in the company of her man and others kinda steals the show, and gets “on stage”. It can be awkward, I have seen it, and in my head was saying, “dude need to control his old lady, she off the chain”. Its the old be seen not heard, remain ladylike situation.

Why would any man not like a woman with a sense of humor? I hope to never meet one of those, because I love to cut up and laugh. I can joke around with the best of them and sometimes come up with some really good ones! I have a silly sense of humor. My mom always gets onto me for egging my dad on with his corny jokes, but they are funny with me! I can also be one of the guys and laugh with their jokes, unless they go too far. Then, I will tell them to remember that I am a woman! Life would not be worth living without laughter!

Jake – A “real” strong man keeps his whole world in order without belittling or making any feel small. I left my parents home a long time ago and they raised me well. So I don’t need nobody to tell me how to “be a lady”. Just like I couldn’t tell any dude how to “be a man”.
Personally, it’s never been acceptable for a dude in my presence to be loud, drunk and obnoxious. Cute in The Hangover, but not in real life.
You dang skippy I’m gonna have a problem with someone talking about my “place” – as a woman, as an AA, as an adult. I don’t give a flip about any “laws of nature” either – some laws are made to be broken! Just cause “that’s the way it’s always been” doesn’t mean it’s the way it should stay.

slim/bf, i once saw him do a skit called “ask a black man”. not sure what show it was on, but one particular bit he slammed white folks for being unjustly defensive around black men, then proceeded to say that he snatched a white woman’s purse and ran, just to prove her right. i laughed sooooo hard!
i think my love affair with his humor lasted all of about 1.5 minutes. then i suddenly decided he wasn’t that funny after all. i blamed my A.D.D.

Ladies, your assumptions and perspective cause you to view that statement as negative, nobody said anything about belittlling, making a mockery of a woman, or anything about making her feel small….Kimmie, sounds like you may have “Outtapockebetes”. Get that checked as soon as possible….lol.

I too respect my SO, I don’t need him to teach or steer that. I know that already because of the lady I’ve grown to be. In turn, I expect the same in return.
It’s those ideas of I can do this but you can’t that’s fueled mishaps and what not for centuries and have lead to folks justify certain behaviors…all because it’s man versus woman. It’s never man versus woman. It’s man and woman together.

Same with hubs. He can take me around his firm, his family, friends, any situation and I’m going to conduct myself accordingly. You can be social without acting a fool, like a know-it-all or like a ghetto idiot. And I’m not somebody that’s gonna blend into the walls either. Always a lady!

If I’m a lady…and I am…you can depend on me “behaving” for lack of a better term and acting accordingly. I already know, you don’t have to tell me. I can’t recall ever being with someone that didn’t know me and just appreciated me for who I am. They weren’t biting their nails and on eggshells afraid of what I might say or do. And yes, plenty plenty plenty of times I’ve been the gender in the minority…it was neither here nor there. Everything is everything.

I remember the words of this executive at another company I worked for – “If it ain’t broke, break it”. He was not talking about changing things just to change them, but don’t be so complacent either.
