Why do women want a man who can make her laugh?

af_thefragile · 13-11-2012 10:53PM #1

I see this a lot. When asked what they look for in a man, most women will say they like a man with a "good sense of humour" or "someone who can make her laugh".

Why is this so important for a man to be able to make a woman laugh? Like if you want a good laugh you could maybe go to a comedy gig or something. Why spend away whole life in jokes and laughter when there are many interesting and important questions to explore??

I know, you should get yourself a girl who wants a guy who asks stupid fúcking questions.

Kylo Ren · 13-11-2012 10:55PM

You're not funny are you?

It's ok being able to make her laugh but can you make her scream.

Hazys · 13-11-2012 10:56PM

Show her your willy OP, you'll be grand

Because if I was with a boring auld bollox I'd kill myself

I thought they wanted a man who could sing. Ah well, back to the drawing board.

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those (song)words that have hurt you
And you'd stay

Because girls just want to have fun

Dunno. Cos life can be hard and laughing is one of life's pleasures?

I made a girl wet herself once.

Because the opposite of getting beat up every night is a guy that makes you laugh. There's no middle ground so you better be funny or else.

They don't.

It just sounds less shallow than "I want a man i find attractive".

I saw a study which showed that some people can release oxytocin when they laugh. Oxytocin is the chemical that helps you bond with other people(and animals). It also creates a feeling of ease and reduces stress. Also, very few serial killers have an excellent sense of humor.

So, laugh it up, Fuzzball.

As above, they don't.

Put a hilarious average looking guy beside a rich good looking guy and see who goes home with her.

But see there's a difference between being funny and making a girl laugh. If you can make a girl laugh it means you get her, and therefore are more likely to share things in common and generally have a good time together.

A guy can make little jokes or have good banter with a girl and make her laugh, it doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be onstage at The Apollo anytime soon. I suppose it's another form of intimacy in a way.

What makes you funny Phasers? Is it your knobbly knee routine?

Remmy · 13-11-2012 11:04PM

Because it is seen as uncouth to request that they write their net worth on the table cloth on the 1st date. Ah no it's because everyone likes to laugh and they don't want someone who is a bit dour I guess.

There's no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid answers.

Or is that the other way about?

But why would you wanna make little jokes all the time and be a comedian just to get on with a girl?

Why would you not want someone who likes to think and wonder about the big and small things in life, experience new things and all those cheesy stuff like that?

Funny women are very attractive. Well the good looking ones are.

Not so - the laughter is in addition to declaring "I want a man I find attractive". Nothing shallow about wanting to find your partner attractive.

Someone else answered how I'd have answered the OP; because life's hard and it's good to laugh, especially, but not only, with the person you're sharing your life with.

Oh, it's the feeling of having someone going out of their way to make you happy ^^

BUT, beware! The guy who keeps the whole groups in laughs, moving the threads a little, is appealing. A fella who acts insecurely will not quite find the same success. Fair? Hardly. True? Likely.

It's not really rocket science or hormonal or chemical - who wants to go on a boring date ....?

No thanks. I'd imagine it would be boring as you have said.
Chin up there is someone out there for you.

Why do women want a man who can make her laugh?
