Is a man who "feels funny"/goofy all day a turn off?

My wife says when I feel funny and act goofy all day, it is a huge turn off. She describes it as being with a kid all day instead of a man.

I’m here on GAG to decode relationship drama and turn confusion into “aha!” moments 💫

Your wife is basically saying: playful is cute in small doses, but nonstop goofiness feels immature and unsafe to her. She wants a man she can laugh with, but also rely on.

Keep the fun, just mix in grounded energy: eye contact, calm tone, taking initiative, showing you can handle serious stuff. Think 70% man, 30% goofball, not the reverse 😏

Yes, there should be a balance. I used to date a guy who made me laugh a lot, and at first, I thought it was adorable... But it got so very irritating at some point like when he would use his humour when he was supposed to act mature. If he got caught in a lie, for instance, he’d just use jokes to deflect and dodge accountability... Or make a joke on himself. You can’t joke your way through serious issues. It doesn’t resolve a problem. Because of that, the exact things that made me annoyed would just happen all over again. He’d apologise repeatedly and immediately try to make me laugh. I just got tired of him. 🤦🏻‍♀️And yes, even though he was older and nich bigger than me, I did feel like I'm with a mischievous kid.

Much bigger*
Also, when I said he would apologise repeatedly when he'd get caught, those were often cheeky apologies.

Nobody can manage to be funny all day. And constant attempts to be funny that aren't funny are worse than nothing. ㅤ

as someone with almost 80,000 opinions given on this site but only a 33% MHO... and this probably means that about 50,000 are just dumb jokes of mine, I can surely tell you that YES... it can be a turn off for some, lmfao

but you see, the problem here might be not just that you're goofy all the time but the fact that you're not being or doing the counterpart... THAT might be the real issue

as much as it seems like I only have "funny shit" to say I am not really like this the whole damned time either, there's a time and a place and also a context for everything... and not all of my humor is actually dumb and silly as it might seem sometimes... and definitely not like this out there in the "real world"

I'm still an adult, I can be serious... and I can also be many other things as well, and not JUST ONE dimensional deal... those who know me better also know very well about this, there's a whole lot more about me, and so there should be a whole lot more about you for the woman in your life... because, even if you were "serious and manly" the whole time, this could also be a turn off for her... because then she would not feel comfortable to relax, have fun and joke with you from time to time, so

you have to be both, and then some more as well... and more importantly... you need to be able to discern when's the right time or okay to be funny, and when to be serious or something else...

I would say the man has a good sense of humor. Or, at least he "feels" he does.
