Men Like Women Who Deploy "Guy Humor"
LatestEverybody wants to date someone with a good sense of humor. But as it turns out, not all humor is equally attractive — and some say men prefer ladies who joke like dudes.
BusinessInsider reports on a study by eHarmony, which found that male users love sarcastic ladies — they message women with this humor style 14% more often than others. Apparently guys also like juvenile humor in women — so girls, poop jokes will get you laid. Less popular were “ironic” humor and political jokes, which netted women 4% and 12% fewer messages, respectively. Women, on the other hand, tended to like men with a dry sense of humor (+16%), though sarcasm was also popular (+7%). Practical joking did neither men nor women any favors, and “dark” humor was similarly disadvantageous. According to BusinessInsider, the data show that “men prefer women who use ‘guy humor’ –- sarcastic, juvenile, geeky or raw — whereas women prefer guys who use ‘gal humor’ –- sarcastic, dry or ironic.”
