Why do women usually fall in love with funny men?
Re: Why Do Women Usually Fall In Love With Funny Men? by OBelz(f): 2:41pm On Jun 17, 2020
Most people like to laugh. Most people like to be with people who they can laugh with. There's nothing mysterious about this.

The problem I find is that many, many men think they're funny, they try very hard to be funny, and they just aren't as funny as they think they are.

I have a friend who is always cracking jokes. I'm not saying that he isn't funny, but it's as though he feels like he has to be funny all the time, so he forces himself to make jokes even when they aren't particularly good, because he's taken on the persona of "funny guy." He obsesses about it, continually checking his Facebook and Twitter feeds to see how many likes or comments he's received. He wants so badly to be liked, and this is what he does to make himself feel liked.

Unfortunately, having worked so hard to fill the role of "the funny guy in the room," he neglected to learn how to address more serious matters. He can be very insensitive to the moods of others, and will crack jokes in situations where it's really not appropriate, or try to show off how clever he is when others aren't having it. And if someone else is cracking jokes, he seems to feel he needs to outdo them, and creates a competition out of what could have just been a relaxing evening.

Of course it's good to have a sense of humor, to be able to laugh and to make other people laugh. But humor should be organic and appropriate, not some kind of achievement you aim for. People don't always find the same things funny, and trying too hard to make someone else laugh isn't funny at all, it's just uncomfortable.

Be yourself (as long as you're not a jerk): it's always the best advice.

Humor in men is an extremely attractive trait for several reasons.

1. Humor is a sign of cognitive fitness, out of the box thinking, creativity and intelligence. Women are more likely to feel safe and protected by a man who is clever and quick thinking.

2. A good sense of humor (or GSOH) indicates that a man may try to defuse conflicts by being funny instead of escalating problems with anger or violence. Once again, making women feel safe.

3. Being funny is always beneficial when raising children. Kids love humor and are happier and healthier when raised with laughter. Women tend to look for signs in a man that may make him a good father, so the ability to make people laugh is a plus.

4. Marriages last longer when couples laugh and joke around with each other which can be assuring when women consider a life partner.

5. Finally….humor is entertaining and makes time spent with someone very enjoyable.

A man may not be the tallest, strongest or most handsome, but he can rise above other suitors with a good sense of humor.

Because they’re fun to be around.

Let’s not limit it to guys, let’s just talk about all humans in general. You’ll see funny people as more enjoyable to be around, and because you like to be around them you’ll end up seeing them as more attractive.

It works the other way around too. Someone may be initially attractive to you, but after realizing that they’re a jerk, or racist, or anything that displeases you, you’ll become less attracted to them. At least that’s how I feel.

A person’s personality is what makes them who they are, and it’s part of what makes them attractive — or unattractive. Humor is a part of a person’s personality, and, well, you can connect the dots from there.

Assume you had a hectic day at work. When you return home ,you are bored to death and do not want to do anything; not even hang out with your best buddies or call your parents for usual chitchat.
Now the only option left is to sleep but to your poor luck you aren't sleepy either . Thus ,you decide to watch something relaxing and you have these options:
a. Comedy nights or sme comedy skit on vskit
b. F.R.I.E.N.D.S
c. Sherlock Holmes
d .either a or b


I am sure most of us in above situation would choose the answer '' d ''. Its simple because they are comedy shows and they make us laugh and laughing is so much easy , it doesn't tax our brain and comes naturally to us. No doubt, laughter is a great stress buster. It energizes us and produces a general sense of well being.
I personally believe: ''You laugh more and smile easily when you are happy. Similarly, when you laugh more and smile easily ,you become happy .''

Now, coming to the answer to the above question:

Everyone wants to live a happy and a fun filled life and laughter makes life easier. It breaks the invisible wall between two people. When you laugh together the fear of judgment vanishes, closeness develops and joy evolves. Thus a man who has a good sense of humor built-in him will have an upper hand over his counterparts.Girls will choose those who make them feel relaxed and be themselves than those who are dashingly handsome or extremely brainy .

Next time when you wonder why girls fall for funny guys ,remind yourself the old Hindi saying " Hasse toh phasee ''.

Thank you for the question

I adore funny men. The ability to perceive humor in a situation is a gift. Humor is truly healing. Laughter is healing.

When I was studying earlier in my life, he clarified my own feelings by saying that in the heart of laughter, you break free from the dream. You break free in that instant from all of your perceived oppression and limitations.

Laughter is wings, sprouting in an instant and taking you into a form of freedom, even if it only lasts a minute. You see, joy is our natural state, not the heaviness, and negativity we must deal with in this world.

Laughter connects us to our natural joy and innocence.
Laughter is an expression of our true expansiveness.
Laughter is leverage. Situations can feel like quicksand, until somehow there is cause for laughter.
Laughter is leverage, uplifting to the heart, and an instantly new perspective. It makes a very big difference in how we may perceive and interpret a thing, although we may not comprehend it at the time of innocent laughter, or laughing over something that catches us off guard. We never see the focus of what made us laugh the same way again.

When a comedian speaks about a common frustration we all share with the capacity towards humor, there is a release valve that everyone shares. To be able to laugh at oneself is actually healing. The ability to make someone laugh is like being a magician. You can take something and shift it into a whole new reality. It may not seem like humor is that important. It comes so easily at times. However, that is evidence of how true it is to the lightness of our hearts.

I adore someone who has the wit and comprehension to be funny. It is not only fun, it is a sign of intelligence.

In that instance of laughter, you are free. Who would not love one who can impart that gift? I cherish it.

Sense of humor doesn’t mean you need to know all the jokes out there, or be a clown. It is more about having a carefree attitude, or in other words, not taking life too seriously especially around women.

Sure, there are other expects in life you should take seriously.

But rather the way you deal with women should be done in a playful way. At least in most part, I mean if a girl is being rude to you then no.

Actually, when a girl is attracted to you she will sometimes even laugh at your most boring jokes.

She may think you have an amazing sense of humor, while her friend may think, you are a boring asshole.

So in a way, a woman liking your sense of humor has a lot to do with whether or not she’s attracted to you.

Being funny is a sign of intelligence. It's a sign that you can make connections between things and understand why those connections are important, which could be a definition of intelligence.

Also, guys who are funny tend to be confident, outgoing, and prepared to make things happen instead of having things happen to them. Women like guys who are confident and outgoing, but a lot of the time, at least with men, that adds up to "asshole". If you're funny, you might be an asshole, but you're a funny asshole.

Personally, as someone who has worked in comedy, I can confirm that I have got away with some of the most heinous, despicable crap imaginable with women just because I was funny.

Because a sense of humor is a generally attractive trait, and people like people with attractive qualities.

It's not complex. I like humor. I don't like everyone who is funny (or who thinks they're funny), but if I were given the choice between hanging around someone who is funny and someone who isn't--all other things being equal--I prefer hanging around the person who's funny.

You may be surprised to discover that men also like women who are funny.

Physical attraction is important to both sexes, but looks are just something that helps in the short term. If a woman starts dating a hot guy, she will be attracted to him for some time, but if he doesn’t know how to lead the conversation, to inspire her and make the relationship interesting, she will dump him. If a woman dates a guy with a sense of humor, she will not care too much about his looks, because he will make her laugh, he will always bring something fresh to the relationship. And that’s the thing women want. They want to be entertained. If you have humor, you have woman’s attention. Simple as that.

If you are a man with a good sense of humor, don’t worry. You won’t be single for long. However, if you are a funny woman, you may want to keep that for yourself, at least for a few dates. A funny guy is usually the life of the party. He can ease awkward social situations with a well-placed joke at the right time. Dating a 'wise guy' is easy and you never have to worry about leaving him alone in a room full of strangers. Funny guys know what makes people tick so he will break the ice and get them chuckling by the time you are back.

When girls are chatting with funny guys, they will be the one begging the guy not to go offline.

they won't be replying with "k".

But there will be one guy online wondering why a girl is online but not replying his chats or replying it so boring.
