In my experience, no. In fact I would argue it hurts your chances it doesn't help them. If your attractive its fine but women preffer more somber men in my experience. I would consider myself a 5 and I have been told I am the funniest person they (various individuals) ever met. Don't think its helped me any, in fact I think it makes me be seen as comedic rather then romantic, they assume that because you have a sense of humor that that is all you are, that their is nothing deeper, nothing more to you. Your not viewed as "mysterious"(emotionally reserved), you don't come off as suave and cool (indifferent), so they tend to just ignore you, as far as romantic attraction is concerned. I would say some humor does help but not a lot. Hell they even did a study where they found that women rated men who where frowning or had a more serious look as more attractive then the smiling men. So no I don't think it really helps and if anything will probably hurt you (obviously their are exceptions).

I know it's not done much for me as far as dating goes. I think most girls don't really care about my sense of humor. I'm probably considered ugly enough to be oogly. Yeah, they laugh, but it's never really made them want to spend extra time with me, go out with me, etc.
I've seen some guys who aren't funny get girls thinking he's the funniest thing out there. Sure, boring isn't good. And being humorless isn't good. But I've never seen a woman become attracted to me because I'm funny. It's made some things easier in general in life, so I wouldn't trade that if I could... but when it comes to dating and attraction around here, it doesn't seem to matter at all.
Dude I will tell you a story from experience and pure honesty. Ok so one time I met this guy. My first thought was that he looked average and that he's not my type. I wasn't attracted to him at all. Then, I talked to him. And he was so funny and entertaining! I thought about him for weeks after that. I don't know about anyone else but I tend to associate strong emotions I feel with the people I was with in the moment of experiencing them. Laughter and strong positive emotions are associated with this guy for me. It made him so much more likable in my eyes that I had a crush on him for at least a year (he went off to college so I never saw him again though).
Having a great personality does make up for whatever you lack in other areas. Especially if you're funny and good at conversing.
Of course humor make someone 10,000x more attractive! What is the point of being "hot" if you have no sense of humor or if you can't make the other person laugh or smile? A physique can attract, but a personality is what keeps someone interested. There hasn't been one guy that've liked that I didn't find funny. I would take an average Joe with an amazing sense of humor over an apathetic Adonis asshole any day. Of course there has to be other redeeming qualities, like intelligence, similar tastes/interest, and chemistry/attraction; but for me those have to be the most important features and qualities about a guy. His sense of humor, his intelligence, our chemistry/attraction, and having similar tastes.
HUMOR IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE QUALITY ABOUT A MAN
srsly hot guys get crushed on but the funny guys pick up the girls fun fact
i dont understand what is up with our current society and obsession with appearance. yes, it is certainly something to keep in mind. but hot guys who are dicks aren't the ones who marry well. tip to all the guys out there: just be a gentleman. people dont just want to have sex. women dont want to be advanced by a guy who just wants to have sex. just... humor can do miracles
It's a bonus but the problem is a lot of guys mix 'humor' up with 'immaturity'. There's a huge difference between the two so if you're being funny and it turns a girl off, most likely you just aren't funny or whatever you did or said was incredibly immature.

Females seem to need constant humor in a man for him to be appealing, and while I do think it can be a great characteristic to have, humor is not everything.
To be honest I feel like women needing so much funniness in a guy is because she either lacks her own inner joy and sparkle and needs him to make up for that, or because she's scared of being serious and scared of guys who are serious too. Learn to be a little grounded sometimes and not have a constant need for giggles.- s
Makes a guy WAYYYYYYYYYYY more attractive to me if i find him funny.
Humour isn't that important but I want a guy who isn't overly depressing and serious all the time
there was a guy i barely knew and to be honest i wasn't attracted to him at all thought he was an awful looking thing but eventually i fell in absolute love with him because he was so charismatic and funny and then thought he was the most beautiful thing i saw no zac efron, justin bieber or channing tatum or who ever; could of compared to him. long story short he cheated on me, now i hate him, and he back to being uglier than ever...
It really really depends on the woman in question. For me, a guy doesn’t have to be funny. That’s just a bonus. If we have the same sense of humor then great but it’s not like HE has to make ME laugh.
Tbh I never understood why it’s so attractive to some women but I can’t judgeChemistry/personality is a huge part of attraction, if his personality & sense of humor makes me happy/constantly laugh then yeah, I'd be a bit more attracted to him.
The word attraction basically means to attract someone or something. If it's fun to be around the guy then clearly he has attractive traits. It's not all about being a 10/10 appearance wise.I would add that a guy girls find attractive is also a guy that does not require as much wit to be considered "funny."
Often times when I'm not quite sure if a girl is flirting or not, I'll crack an obviously not-funny joke. And if she's laughing harder than the joke is actually worth... boom.To me it's just a bonus. I always date guys that are considered " average looking " so the fact that I look for personality, being funny is a plus.
But I have met a guy that was hilarious but he was a dick very rude, but I admit that he was really funny.It doesn't help physical attractiveness but mental attraction.
That being said, no amount of humor will save you if you're ugly as sin. Look at Chris Farley. There were interviews of him where he'd talk about his struggles with women and he was one of the funniest people on SNL and comedy in general.I’ve learned that girls usually find a certain type of humor attractive, sarcastic banter and kind of like agreeable humor they love. Girls aren’t as attracted to George Carlin or Doug Stanhope type of misanthropic comedy you could say. There’s some exceptions who have a fucked up sense of humor tho 😂
I swear to God, sense of humor can make any guy instantly more attractive regardless of what he looks like. If he has a cool attitude and he's funny, oh dammmnnn 🔥🔥🔥
I think women get it wrong when they say they want a funny guy. Women who are dating will probably find their guy automatically funny because they both share a connection of making each other laugh.
Physical attraction only gets so far. It he's beautiful but says only ugly things, that gets old fast.
The guy I'm currently dating isn't what people would say "extremely attractive." But he has an amazing sense of humor (dry & sarcastic like I) and that's what I like about him.
Girls like to be entertained. They're looking for a guy that can lead, and having a sense of humor is simply being cultured, entertaining.
It's far more important that you have money. Girls REALLY go for that. Just look at the Donald!!Absolutely. You would be surprised how much a sense of humor can reel a woman right in.
None of my male partners have been conventionally attractive. I like them for their personality and sense of humour.
A 5/10 physically who is the funniest guy I've ever met moves up to like 8/10.
It absolutely, without-a-doubt does not help you to attract women. If you're already attractive it's just a bonus. If you're not, then best-case scenario you get an image as the asexual comic relief.
80/20 rule overrides everything ie 80% of women typically only rate 20% of men as potential suitors or reply on messages from on line dating stats, Tinder stats are more brutal 90% of women only rate 10% of men as likes
