Girls how important is it for you that a guy has a good sense of humor and is able to make you laugh?

Question

One of my top criteria! I mean, it's not like I'll never laugh if they don't make me laugh, I think I'm hilarious so I'll just entertain myself... But for real, I need to be able to have that hysterical stupid laughter with someone. They don't need to be a massive jokester, but I want someone who is witty and funny. Also, I need to be able to make them laugh too!

This is a key thing for me, I am very light hearted person and I joke around a lot so if you aren't the same it would be pretty awkward 😂

This is not actually an easy question to answer. I have many times wondered why 'sense of humour' comes up at the top or near top of so many wish lists from girls. Why? Presumably they want to be with someone who doesn't take life too seriously? But my experience with guys who do try to make people laugh is their effort and incessant need for attention and reactions, from all sort of people, can be really annoying. I don't like people who crazy constant attention. Humour is also sometimes used as a way to be the centre, to impress others.
There are many famous comics over the years who we later find out were wrestling with some pretty heavy demons. They use comedy as a way to exorcize them. Fair enough. And I do think society benefits from them and the social commentary they bring. I do also believe the older you get, the more humour you generally need. Life can be a real pain in the ass without it. You have to be able to pull back and have some perspective that is not so serious or self-focused.
But do I want to be around people who crack jokes often? No, not really.
Yesterday I went to breakfast with a longtime friend, and he introduced me to a new person he had met, and that guy cracked jokes the entire hour and a half we were together. At first he greeted me with a big friendly bear hug, and he was warm and definitely friendly. But his jokes never stopped, and it was too much. So a perfect example of someone trying too hard, and dragging the situation out farther than appropriate.
But I also couldn't be with someone who had no wit or didn't see irony or had no dark, ironic type of side. I probably chuckle at least once a day. I remember laughing quite hard once yesterday, and once this morning, because of things my husband said, how he phrased them. It's equal between us. Men are no more funny. We both have a sense of humour. My family has always thought humour was a sign of intelligence. And humour or self-depracating observations about yourself, are a good sign. I agree. Word play is sexy. Attention-seeking is not.

a good sense of humor is good for everyone to have ! for without it you are depressing to be around and can bring others down too ! depression is so bad for some that it can lead to someone killing others or killing themselves and God does not want that for anyone ! Thanks

For me its important l like someone that can make me laugh and more so that l can make him laugh as well and l mean properly not just quick laugh it's meant to be funny but dont get it.
I think it's a compatibility thing different people have forms from those who are the joksters to those that love silly stories that have happened but you would never believe.
I love hearing him laugh, most of the time it's at me more than with me but it's ok l get my own back on occasions lol.

It's a good quality to have but I must say it's hard to find someone with a similar sense of humor to mine so it's enough that I can have productive conversations on all sorts of topics with him (which in itself is a rarity in the modern dating pool).

SimpleRhubarb · Answer

Pretty important, but not a dealbreaker. It is my favorite trait, though. What’s more important to me is that he can take a joke! I’m a real jokester, so if he doesn’t get jokes that well, it won’t work.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

It's very minor/unimportant to me.  Humor isn't something I place much emphasis on in a relationship compared to other factors such as intelligence, or the ability to hold a conversation.

CubsterShura · Answer

Not having it is no sin, but having it would be a major plus, especially because I am personally too serious and sometimes it can really help if someone can just lift up my mood.

Sel226 · Answer

I really like when guys can make me laugh but tbh, anyone can make anybody laugh if they find out what they find funny and what not.

Jyams · Answer

For me, personally, he doesn’t have to be humorous or to be able to make me laugh. I just would like him to be there when I need him.

rosalxna · Answer

It’s probably equally as important as me being attracted to them. So, very lol

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I like a sense of humour but intelligence and character can replace humour if he doesn't have it.

menina · Answer

In a scale from 1 to 10, I would say 7. I'm a serious woman, so I like guys who can make me laugh.

ChloeStarlight · Answer

Very important since that’s one of the things that I look for in a guy

Anonymous · Answer

It is very important to me because I am very serious most of the time, so I need a funny guy to balance things out.

Katys91 · Answer

He doesn’t have to be a stand up comedian but I think laughter in a relationship is important and having a sense of humour helps that. Being witty is a bonus, and attractive too.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know about important but its definitely appreciated. I probably won't connect enough to marry/date to marry a man who has no emotional connection with me and laughing seems like an emotion.

VenusSweets · Answer

Hmmm it's a great quality to have but not a must
