Hundreds of men and women in their twenties were questioned. Asked if they found a sense of humour to be attractive in women, most men said yes. But when they were asked if they would want to be with a woman who cracked jokes herself, the answer was a resounding no.
“When forced to choose between humour production and humour appreciation in potential partners, women valued humour production, whereas men valued receptivity to their own humour,” said Dr Martin.
More than half the men who took part in the survey revealed that a witty woman was not what they were looking for in a partner. Dr Martin said the findings suggested that men see themselves as the ones who should be delivering the lines and feel threatened by humorous women.

This kind of attitude is a dealbreaker for me. I am a dry motherfucker and if a guy is threatened because I beat him to the punch line, that’s good to know because I don’t want to date a sissy anyway.

holy shit, if i were with a girl who didn’t crack a single joke, i’d be bored to tears. funny women are the fucking best.
