Whenever a girl is asked to name her ideal qualities in a partner, “He has to make me laugh” is almost always near or at the top of the list. But guys don’t indicate that they share the same priority. They don’t seem to care much about having a girl with a sense of humor.
I’m pretty sure this is because all guys really want is a girl who will fall into an erotic, hypnotic trance whenever they snap their fingers and whisper the code word “Snickerdoodle.”
Huh? Where am I??? Did somebody say Snickerdoodle? *Purrrrrrr*
There are some men I’ve been out with where being in a trance when we shagged would have been a positive improvement. The kind of trance where you don’t remember anything when you wake up.
True dat. Life is not fair. We are willing to go beyond looks - personality, sense of humor, warmth.
Men just want big titties.
dude you are SO out of the club. You have to use “mallomar” from now on. And you know what that’ll get ya.
greg, if anyone can do it, its you.
p.s. was there a new west wing on last night? i fell asleep
ugh. don’t get me started.
i’m on a huge ‘i hate men’ spree lately.
*sigh* i’m gonna go play with my breasts.
There was a new WW but I haven’t seen it yet; it’s on tape. I’m on the verge of quitting the show since the absence of Aaron Sorkin has dramatically affected the writing quality.
you’re right, women always count ‘sense of humor’ at or near the top of their list of qualities to look for.
and i think that’s dumb. if someone can’t make you laugh, isn’t funny, doesn’t have a sense of humor, whatever, that doesn’t just put them out of the running romantically. you don’t even want to be friends with that person.
saying you want to date someone with a sense of humor is like saying you want to buy a car with an engine.
Hear, hear regarding the WW! I watched last night only because my husband keeps wanting to give them another chance. I HATE it now and I am done! And what’s with all this snickerdoodle/mallomar crap...everyone knows it’s Fudge with Walnuts!
A sense of humor would be very important in a woman for me. I don’t think they would last long with me unless they thought dead baby jokes were funny.
I didn’t say a good sense of humor.
It’s ok Gopi....some of us prefer the twisted sense of humor. As for WW, I’m trying..I will give it a season. I’m holding on to Gilmore Girls and Ed for all they’re worth right now.
I fell alseep and forgot to tape it. I don’t think it is horrible since Sorkin left, but not fabulous. Sorry to hijack the comments with off topic blather.
And walnuts make my tongue itch… just something to keep in mind.
women are really interested in a sense of humor, if, by sense of humor, they mean “great big fat wallet.”
except for the women who comment on this blog. anyone who hangs around greg clearly has a sense of humor about something.
hey-o!
I never put sense of humor on the list until I dated someone without one.
I need to know that when I stumble to your front door in the wee hours after a night out with the girls, missing one sandal and smelling like cigarettes, he’s going to be able to laugh. Though, I’m sure that that point *snickerdoodle* would work just as well.
I thought of the wallet thing when lotus said that women go beyond looks, but I thought nah, I should play nice, Bryan will be along eventually…
ooh. ouch, bryan! big fat wallet doesn’t equal rich, my friends. do you know how much room ones take? that’s all i’m saying.
and i don’t go for sense of humor. i got tv for that. but never mind, this is a family blog so i’ll keep my list to myself.
What happened to Aaron Sorkin? I’ve been watching every week, and noticing a definite slide, but I must have missed that piece of gossip.
There was a great “This American Life” story about an American’s date with a Russian woman. He’s perplexed by why the date went so badly, until his Russian teacher tells him, with scorn, “you Americans. All you want is someone to make you laugh!”
And I think men want a woman with a sense of humor--meaning, women who laugh at their jokes. But sense of humor is about more than what’s funny, it’s about your whole world view.
I don’t give a damn about sense of humor, I just expect my man to be extra well endowed.
snickerdoodle and mallomar are both out. the new keyword is Padlock. Oh, I just gave myself goosebumps by typing it.
gimmy is right, its all about the huge wang. wangtastic.
hot talk and huge wang, eh?
you all kid, but a guy who’s good with words and in bed sounds like a good catch to me.
if you’re thinking what i mean by that is that he needs a nice big bank account, you’re <strike>right</strike> bryan.
padlock. wang. padlock.
trance ensues.
what, nobody laughing yet?
Sure, we say that , but last time I checked, Jim Carrey was still single…
Oh, wait, we’re talking good sense of humour…
never underestimate the value of a man who can give you a good backrub after a hard day.
I dunno...fudge with walnuts sounds kind of Freudian to me. However, mallomar does make me quiver intimately.
Whatever happened to love at first sight??
“saying you want to date someone with a sense of humor is like saying you want to buy a car with an engine.”
Amen, kate!
