Funny women!
Get this.
I read an article from some magazine on the plane during my trip to Steelhead last week – I can’t remember where I read it – but it made my blood boil a little.
It said that men aren’t attracted to funny women. This science-type person tested whatever it is they test to tell us how we work and made the discovery.
Originally, she had asked men what they were attracted to in a woman and nearly all of them listed “sense of humor” as an important trait. Turns out they lied their penises off.
Upon further analysis, she discovered what they really meant was that they like women who laugh at THEIR jokes but don’t make any of their own.
Apparently, humor is a sign of intelligence and men feel threatened when a woman displays too much of that.
So, that’s me screwed then. Or not, as the case may be. Either way – pah, and indeed, hmph!
How accurate do you think this is? Ladies, do you feel men are threatened by your sense of humor? Guys, what do you really think about funny women? What’s the deal here? Be honest, I promise I won’t get hostile. *looks all innocent*
If a girl can't keep up with my banter, it isn't going to last. This study basically says that guys like dumb chicks. Maybe for hookups, but long term? Doubtful. I call shenanigans.
If a woman can't make me laugh, we won't last. I do like smart women, so I guess that correlates with humor being a sign of intelligence.
i like your humor. Its funny. This is the best blog ever
I think the article's likely right…. for shallow men who aren't interested in real women.For men who have desires other than the purely physical…. nope. All I know is, all the marriages that I see that are successful…. parents, friends, relatives…. have one thing in common: BOTH parties are "wicked funny." They laugh at themselves, the world, and even each other (when it's deserved).
he he…i really think it's funny that you said they "lied their penises off". lol. i think that is what most guys do. constantly.
I don't want women who make me laugh. Oh wait…..
Going through life with someone who didn't make me laugh would be terribly dull. I don't know who the study subjects were. Maybe college frat boys? (And I was one, so I know whereof I speak. Some of us grow up.)
