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.
