Could you date someone who had NO sense of humor?

Question

DianaWest · Accepted Answer

no, God no. men with the personality of carboard do nothing for me, regardless of how hot they are. i would get bored pretty quickly. he has to be fun and adventurous. i used to have a boyfriend who would bitch over the smallest noises that would disturb him. he would bitch if the neighbours made a slight noise, if the floor boards creaked while i got up to go pee or get a glass of water, if i would toss over in the bed and the bed would creak. ugh. stiff boring piece of carboard he was. whenever i spoke with him in public he would tell me to be less loud so we don't disturb others. the hell? he wanted me to whisper to be less loud. if i laughed or found something funny, he would tell me it is disrespectful to laugh in public. borrrrrrrriiiiinnngggg. i told him to go find himself a girlfriend who doesn't laugh, doesn't smile, doesn't talk above a whisper, doesn't move at all while she sleeps, doesn't feel the need to pee in the middle of the night, and who is able to float so she doesn't touch the floor and cause it to creak.

Sure! I'm not really into men that joke all the time: that's actually a turnoff for me (Because you never know when they're being serious or when they're kidding). Serious, stoic men are actually pretty cool.

Though if a man has a snarky, sarcastic sense of humor? That's fine... in moderation.

Fuck no. There are many factors one should pay attention to when dating someone and being able to laugh and enjoy each other's company is one of them. I've dated someone in the past who is often just too serious, with no sense of humor and deliberately tries to surpress her laughs. There is honestly no fun in that, especially in comparison to my relationships where we often do manage to make each other laugh. A wise man once told me that one should always seek someone who is able to make him laugh and be able to laugh with. One of the best things is being able to fool/joke around with a loved one and develop inside jokes only the two of us are able to understand.

Well, since I've yet to run to run across a member of the opposite sex who has more than a fake sense of humor which quickly disappears once their claws are firmly embedded, it really makes no difference.

No sense of humor versus a fake sense of humor will eventually get you to the same place.

A fake sense of humor can be very hard to detect when one is young and horny.

I'm now old enough to know that such is the case.

Was my sense of humor in this post detected by anyone?

Account · Answer

Yes. I tend to like them serious.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Is she also 90 years old? . . . "Cause I'm NOT dating my mother!

NathanDavis · Answer

do such people actually exist?

I get there's very serious, very strict, very moody and grumpy people... but I can still laugh with them... you just have to find out how

I have different kinds of humor and I know my way around people, I think I can find a way and if they're the ones that just can't joke themselves that's fine, I can amuse myself for a long while

dhinchak · Answer

I don't consider only the ability of creating jokes out of thin air as sense of humour, but also the ability to understand what the joke meant.

Now if my girlfriend doesn't understand any of my jokes, it would be pretty devastating for my self-confidence and I'd find it smothering.

So to answer your question, I can't even be friends with such a person, let alone date 'em.

tatianamay · Answer

People tell me that I have a weird sense of humor. They never seem to get my jokes! lol, Im intimidated by serious peoples. Almost everyone in my family is kinda serious. Only my brother, dad and myself have a good sense of humor lol. I’m kinda intimidated by some people even in my own family, especially my grandfather. lol. So, yes and no. It just depends on the person. But personally, I’d prefer someone who has a sense of humor. I’m open to date someone who’s really serious as well (someone who’s not too passionate about politics lol. That stuff causes too much problems)

ArrowheadSW · Answer

No I don't think that I could date a woman with no sense of humor. I did date a woman who was kind of on the borderline with that. When I did say something that was funny though, most of the time she caught on if she thought about it for a moment. Then sometimes she would laugh for a long time and I'd have to tell her that it wasn't "that" funny to laugh that much... LOL...

hannahjo022 · Answer

No I could not! I am the one who likes to make people laugh and I need a guy who has good sense of humor like me. They need to be silly and don't take themselves serious. I find a guy who takes themselves serious to be a buzz kill.

sage2021 · Answer

Absolutely not! I have a very whitty sense of humor that makes people laugh so hard they get tears in their eyes. However, I must say that someone without a sense of humor would just look at me instead of laughing with me. Laughter is the best medicine and it's free. If you have a great sense of humor, then stay away from those that don't!! In this case, opposites do not attract.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

100% devoid of sense of humor? I don’t think I could actually. I just imagined how that would be and it just seems impossible for that to be unless there was an actual physical anomaly in that person’s brain.

aqua0101 · Answer

I have dated someone with no sense of humor. It was hard for me. When you go through hard times , laughter helps a lot. The man I dated , he was serious all the time , it put a strain on the relationship.

muscularbumblebee · Answer

No way not happening.. mind you depends on the sense of humour. I prefer dry, sarcastic and a bit dark so that would probably be best. If it’s the gross kind for example no way I’d rather a serious guys then.

Source: I’ve dated many serious hot guys in the past, with no sense of humour it just doesn’t work

420Rachel · Answer

Hell no. Only someone with a sense of humor would be able to put up with my blonde ass. 🤣🤣

IDontBelieveIt · Answer

I would give it a go because I don't know if they gone through something, or takes life too serious, confidence boosting building can help them see things differently and start to laugh, but some won't if they don't try after a sometime would have to say it's not going to work, but last resort.

weeee · Answer

Not at all. I hate those types who can't take a joke or are serious all the god damn time. But i will admit, they are the ones i have the most fun teasing :p

InsertNameHerex · Answer

No lol humor is an important trait, I don’t wanna date a rock. I’m a goofy weird person, I need someone who can match my energy and can make me laugh when I need it

electromagnetic · Answer

Absolutely not.  I’m a comedian wise ass at heart. If they don’t know how to crack yo mama jokes or goof off every 7 minutes, they aren’t for me. ❌

Andres77 · Answer

No, because laughter and orgasms fuel our love.
Making her grunt and convulse and making her laugh so hard she has to hold on to something or else she'll fall down... those are life goals.
Unless someone feels so comfortable with you... you can't have either. Not to the degree I want it.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Probably not. I think being able to laugh at something together is important, crucial even.

Anonymous · Answer

Personally, I wouldn't. I don't want someone who is always joking nor serious 24/7. But I prefer someone who has a balance, someone who can be serious when appropriate but also make me laugh to keep things fun and light. I think a sense of humor can be attractive but I don't think not having a sense of humor makes someone undatable

Anonymous · Answer

I require laughter in my life. Life is hard, and laughter helps take the edge off. I've worked with people with no sense of humor or those who always took sarcasm literally, and it made it difficult to get along with them because they become the wet blanket on a good time. I can't imagine dating or worse, a relationship with someone like this.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

No. I need to laugh. Humour is literally a requirement for me.

I also need someone who knows when to be serious, too, though. I find I vibe best with people who know how to dig deep in crisis, but are able to be fairly chill otherwise.

Heckpupper · Answer

Never, because I enjoy laughing and making others laugh. Being goofy and eccentric is who I am, and being with someone who has no appreciation for that would be a huge turn-off

Somegirl408 · Answer

yeah, because im good at making my own jokes so it wouldn't bother me

Wiredone · Answer

No I wouldn't marry someone who doesn't have a sense of humor. I would be miserable. If she can't laugh and enjoy some humor, she's not for me

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Nope... life with a partner requires being able to laugh together. It’s one of the love ingredients for curing dullness. I even laugh at my own corny “jokes” sometimes...

RichardCranium6201 · Answer

My opinion, every 1 has some form of a sense of humor. She is probably like that because she is in protection mode. In which case, id say if you choose to go forward, be patient and be gentle. Give her time to trust you. Shell open up.

haven_shilohhh · Answer

Honestly with me I feel like I wouldn't just because that would be kinda sad and boring but at the same time yeah I mean you could try to get that hype up with them and love them and try to help them but I probably wouldn't jus saying but you take it how you would

pjf1958 · Answer

I once knew a girl who had no sense of humor. Didn't like laughing, since my humor is subtle sarcasm, she never got it. we were never more than platonic friends. i felt bad for her.

scentoflavender · Answer

Hmmm I don't think I could. I tend to try to find the humor in the darkest of times. It's something I'm compelled to do. I feel like someone with no sense of humor wouldn't understand me.

Hairylegs222 · Answer

Nope never. It's boring, dull, lame, cold, and seems like a chunk of her personality is missing.

TheNubian · Answer

As you get older, you'll realise how important a little sense of humour is.  No, I can't- have a little at least.

MCheetah · Answer

Considering most women have no sense of humor, sure. Though I'd much prefer one of the 1% of women who do.

I_want_a_moustache · Answer

No, I still laugh at immature stuff like watching bald people put on hats, or poop jokes.

Yes. But only in a gloryhole setting.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

It's ok if he is unable to tell jokes and be funny but it's not ok if he finds nothing funny. If he can't laugh at anything then it will be a very sad life.

Juxtapose · Answer

A good sense of humor makes a woman insanely attractive and I could not go without at least a small sense of humor.

DarkCarousel · Answer

No way. I enjoy spending time and being silly with him. There’s a time for seriousness.

MrJMM · Answer

My humor mostly consists of me either making up a word because I forgot it or dark humor. But I would like to see another person that had no humor finally someone would get me.

Omario2049 · Answer

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I actually actively test them from the get go if they have a sense of humor and an actual personality. Humor is a solid sign of intelligence and security.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, thats how my boyfriend was when we first started dating but after he got to know me more he started getting one.

JosyJosy · Answer

Well yes, for one date only to find out he lacks a sense of humor. Never to be repeated.

exitseven · Answer

Actually no. That would be kind of a dealbreaker for me.

marc94 · Answer

Humor is healthy. I could not imagine dating someone with no sense of humor as humor is a profoundly human thing.

DiegoO · Answer

Sense of humour is relative and if you don't find a partner at least humorous at time, you are probably dating the wrong partner.

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

If they take ife too seeious, think like is a big joke or find things funny that should never be though of as funny would stress me out.

Quidthonian · Answer

Hell no. I use humour very, very often with desert-dry jokes, inappropriate irony, and other tools of humour.

AdithyaR · Answer

Nope I need the humor. But a healthy type, no toxic humor.

FatherJack · Answer

No !! I would also end up taking the piss out of them... ironically for their lack of humour !!

That would be hard because I’m always joking around

I don't think that they would get me at all, so not likely.

Yes. But I doubt they could date me.

I'd rather cut my own throat. At least the pain will be relatively short-lived.

Nah I don't think I can cause I'm a pretty humorous person
