How important for you is a sense of humor in a relationship?

[Corerue]

Being able to laugh together is huge.
It means that your communication isn't just normal but close and filled with happiness and laughter.

[GreenGold1992]

very important, life's no fun without laughs

[Iwillfindyou21]

As a person with a high sense of humour, it would be quite important, as I need to really feel good with the person

[MaxiMich]

Oh, it’s crazy important!

[SueShe]

I believe that a person that possesses a good sense of humor is an enrichment in a relation. Of course, sense of humor is not always indicated in every situation but it helps enormously to loose the atmosphere.

Laughing is the best remedy but I like a good sense of humor and not so much a forced one. It is like a smile, you know when it is genuine or just a commercial smile.

I like jokes but they must not be corny or with double meanings. Those people that solely rely on that type of humor are less attractive to me.

It's awesome to be able to laugh with your partner!

[Cynicaldreamer]

Not important. I don't mind someone lightening the mood if the situation calls for it, but I tend to be a serious person and would prefer a partner that is similar.

A little humor is fine, but too much is a turnoff.

[Desconhecida]

Very very important!

People really shouldn’t be saying it is mandatory. You can have good everything else but you still just can’t find too many things funny, and people say “oh wait never mind” because of that one thing.
Besides, how useful is this trait when you have plenty of other useful traits? Traits that can make people like each other more, or continue a conversation, for example. You can have a nice conversation or do anything fun without a mandatory need to laugh at at least 40% of all things. Some people just don’t find some things funny, but that doesn’t make it bad right away.

80% important

And i am sometimes really funny, or sometimes i have sarkastic humor or mix with the worlds when i am joking, so not everyone understand my jokes

If you are avle to be chill with your partner then he/she/you will be comfortible and joke al the time and make eachoter lough.

[Hurlyburly]

Very important. Laughing together at each others stupid jokes can help to create a strong bond between you and not being able to can get really uncomfortable really fast.

[The1Guy]

It eleviates anger and tension. Wouldn't be possible to keep going day by day without it. Especially if you're just starting out and discovering all the problems asociated with getting to really know one another. Everyone has their own style of humor even if they don't use it all that often. I know that I can be a pretty uptight person in most situations. But with my wife, I joke a lot and I'm glad I found someone, who likes my stile of humor.

[FunkyMonkee]

VERY important!! Partly because I'm ALWAYS cracking jokes! If she can't stop being serious long enough to laugh at at least SOME of them, I can't see "us" lasting too long. Especially since some of my jokes would be "aimed at" her. My ex would mis-pronounce a word here and there and I'd catch that and tend to use that word the way she said it that one time and she'd laugh about it, too.

[JackSmy]

HUGE!! She has to understand my humor, or she just thinks I'm an ASS!!
Also, if she doesn't get it, and the references, I wonder if she is smart enough.
Not judging any, just maybe not a good match, OK?

[Guitarwizard7]

I have a pretty dry sense of humor so not a ton of people find me funny. I just don’t have that natural charisma that some do so I try and make up for it in other ways such as being loyal, patient, honest, and attentive in the bedroom. I’ve been told I’m attractive by several girls though so at least I have that going for me.

[LoU_Hades]

Girls are funny. Some appear funny involuntary, others are offensive funny about everything and everyone, it turns into cynicism after some time, but the most enjoyable women are joking for mutual fun.

[lightbulb27]

high. But important the type. e. g. I learned sarcasm is funny, but it hurts some people. I learned to dial it back. Some people... if something is not true (e. g. sarcasm)... will hurt them and anger them. Others ok w it.

[MissDawn7961]

my man needs to have a sense of humor for I do and say some of the most silly things and do the most embarrassing things that he will ever see or hear ! I get others to laugh and I am not even trying to

[markscott]

A sense of humor is very important in a relationship. A lot of the fun in life, and in a relationship, is related to humor.

[BHooper]

I agree with you. Trust is probably the most important thing in a relationship and I'd say a sense of humour is pretty high on the list. I love to joke around and laugh so finding someone yo do that with in a relationship is a major plus.

[J_Klayton]

Pretty important.
I'm silly sometimes.
I want her to get me and not look at me like I'm crazy.
A woman who can sing and laugh and curse and wrestle with me.
She doesn't take herself too seriously and she acts silly when she's bored too.

[trent7957]

Almost all guys like a girl with a sense of humor. We love comedy and anything that makes us laugh. That's why we like to joke around a lot. We have to be the ones in a good mood all the time

[Anonymous]

I'd much rather be with someone who has a sense of humor and makes me laugh, rather than be with someone who's a downer and super-serious - it would seem like I was with a parent or a boss.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

She should see the funny side of things, not easily offended, and playful. But doesn't have to be a "comedian" per se
