I agree, this is definitely true. There are girls that make me laugh, and I like that, but they tend not to be that funny nor do I like a girl that jokes too much. On the other hand, every girl I’ve seen (literally, every single one) loves it when a guy makes them laugh.</p>
<p>This is a good question. I don’t know the answer, though. I definitely like funny (and witty) guys. I don’t know if I’m funny, I don’t think so, all the people who’ve called me funny are girls :P. Although I can occasionally come up with witty lines, and I love being slightly dramatic (fake drama! not real drama! NO ONE would mistake it for real drama!) - I dunno, it’s hard to explain, you just have to talk to me. This is a great question, though! <em>takes hat off to 'tisthetruth</em></p>
<p>no, i DETEST funny girls, but i admire girls that smile alot. i like girls that are reserved, humble, modest, pure in heart, innocent, weak.</p>
<p>and i HATE girls that assert themselves; are outgoing; flirts alot, etc.</p>
<p>well, i must thank charlotte bronte’s brunette heroines for this taste. i want to like vibrant girls…but this artistic greatness impulse forces me to raise the miserable, small childish women to pedestal.</p>
<p>It’s really so interesting, isn’t it, TheOneCurlyFry? It’s so amusing that these guys do not have an explanation why they’re not attracted to funny girls. Poor victims of nature! (kidding). We could use the help of the world’s leading anthropologists, biologists, psychologists, and sociologists right now to explain this phenomenon (sauronvoldemort’s complex behavior, for example).</p>
<p>You guys don’t find Amanda Bynes funny? She cracks me up in that show What I like About You. Do you think her sense of humor makes her less attractive? How about that girl in Hannah Montana? and the girls in The Suite Life? Sorry if they’re not attractive to begin with… I can’t really tell.</p>
<p>there was an article awhile back that talked about research on this…
the results were that when it comes to humor and sexual attraction, girls like guys who make them laugh and guys like girls who laugh at their jokes but the other way around appears to make no difference (i.e., guys don’t really like a girl any more for making funny jokes, just for the fact that she laughs at his). Seems (more than) a bit androcentric to me, but that’s what it said… so ladies…laugh at his jokes and he’ll like you more! ;)</p>
<p>I should claify, genuinely funny girls I find excedingly attractive. They are, however, equally rare. And no, Amanda Bynes is not funny.</p>
<p>don’t u people want romantic relationships?? being funny is only attractive of a friend</p>
<p>You guys don’t find Amanda Bynes funny?</p>
<p>An emphatic “no”.</p>
<p>She cracks me up in that show What I like About You. </p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Do you think her sense of humor makes her less attractive?</p>
<p>What sense of humor?</p>
<p>How about that girl in Hannah Montana? </p>
<p>No idea who she is.</p>
<p>and the girls in The Suite Life? </p>
<p>See above.</p>
<p>Those two shows (I had to look them up) are on the Disney Channel… that explains some things…</p>
<p>^^^ Hey, there was nothing else on TV (both shows, which are Disney Channel productions were on ABC-- don’t have cable). I normally don’t watch TV on Saturday mornings but I happened to be awake then. </p>
<p>
What things?</p>
<p>and for the record, Amanda Bynes is really funny!</p>
<p>
Those things.</p>
<p>If she weren’t funny, her show would’ve been taken off the air a long time ago.</p>
<p>I’m far from what you think I am.</p>
<p>I disagree.</p>
<p>I think the question you really need to explore here is what exactly is it that makes a girl (or guy) funny? Is it telling joke after joke? Is it being able to put a spin on life stories to make them interesting and engaging? Is it that sarcastic comment after a story that makes the whole room erupt in gales of laughter?</p>
<p>Laughter is essential to humans. It’s a much needed release that brings a couple closer together. I find with my friends we’re constantly laughing and joking with each other. We’re good friends and we can tease each other and, though we have serious conversations, I’m certainly not interested in a relationship with them that’s always that way. I can’t imagine a situation where the guys would just sit and talk while the girls laughed like simpering idiots and didn’t say anything of their own. I honestly don’t think any of you would enjoy that for a sustained period of time. An ego trip for a while, but boring eventually.</p>
<p>equal rights/pay/etc for girls is more than fine</p>
<p>but it is weird when they’re too outgoing and funny! </p>
<p>unless it is rosie o donnel type!</p>
<p>There are definitely funny females out there…their sense of humor is just more on the guyish side. </p>
<p>A lot of girls that make people laugh do it by trying to be cute or goofy or whatever, so yeah, they aren’t actually funny…and they tend to get annoying after a while. This is partly why I don’t have a whole lot of female friends…and out of the ones I do have, there are only a few that I find genuinely funny. </p>
<p>As for guys liking funny girls…it just depends on the guy. Not exactly hard to figure out.</p>
<p>Anyone else reminded of Gilmore Girls by this topic?</p>
<p>Mrs. Kim: Boys don’t like funny girls!</p>
<p>I hate the Gilmore Girls…that show is the perfect example of girls being cute and stupid to be funny…and is just plain annoying.</p>
<p>I find that guys and girls usually have different sense of humor. What a girl thinks funny doesn’t make guys laugh. Guys just think they are stupid and embrassing. The girls usually laugh at anything that’s remotely funny while guys don’t really do really funny are comebacks or joking around with a person and most girls don’t really do that. I might be rambling and hard to follow but the comments make sense to me. </p>
<p>BTW, I think sarah silverman is funny though.</p>
<p>D’oh! Forgot her! And she’s probably my favorite too :/</p>
