Almost every person has “sense of humour” high on the list of things they want in a partner.

You know, of course, what you like about another’s person ability to be funny. But have you considered exactly why this quality makes YOU desirable?

A good sense of humor makes you highly attractive because it …

Expresses your unique perspective on life:

Humour says a lot about your outlook and attitude— which is hopefully positive and upbeat.

Is one of the best flirting strategies:

As actress Nia Vardalos said, “Compliment a woman and, sure, she will smile. But make a woman laugh, and she may get naked.”

Makes up for personal weaknesses:

If you consider yourself average or below average in some way–(and who doesn’t?)–realise that a great sense of humour more than compensates. It’s sexy.

Reveals your good heart:

Since much of modern humour is sarcastic and cynical, your playful style will show that you’re kind.

Points to having an agreeable personality:

A big part of what it means to be personable is the ability to joke and share funny moments with others.

Makes known your interest in the other person:

Humour is often used as a “barometer” to gauge level of attraction and interest.

Your engaged response to your date’s humour (and vice versa) is a good sign of chemistry.

Provides evidence of your sharp mind:

People with a quick wit are typically bright and clever.

Demonstrates that you are willing to be vulnerable:

Attempting to be funny takes guts–you risk your joke falling flat.

Puts the other person at ease:

Laughing together reduces anxiety and fosters relaxation. That will create the conditions to get better acquainted.

Assures your date that you are a happy person:

Having a lighthearted approach to life makes for happy individuals—and of course happy individuals make happy romantic couples.

Indicates compatibility in a vital area:

You know you’ve clicked with someone when you laugh at the same things.

Defuses conflict:

When disagreements arise, a light touch can lower the tension so you can resolve the matter efficiently.

Shows that you don’t take yourself too seriously:

Self-deprecating humor lets your date know you can make fun at yourself.

Displays a quality that contributes to the health of a relationship:

Laughter and levity contribute numerous therapeutic elements to a long-term relationship.

Invites the other person to join in the fun:

When you act playful, you encourage your date to do the same. You allow him/her to share the spotlight—which will be much appreciated.
