HUMOUR SENSE & MEN

What has a good sense of humour got to do with men?
A lot, for most women!
Don’t believe me; I was hardly into a fruitful relationship with men to know if they have any sense at all. But if you go by the advertorials and the strictly “ladies only” gossip café, you will have enough reason to believe that a good sense of humour ranks high in a woman’s list of qualities for her macho man.

My dad once confided in me about breaking into hilarious laughter every time mom watched Mr. Bean, wondering what it is about Rowan that tickled her humour bone. There are others who swear by Google Search Engine to get hold of 101 jokes to crack on their first date, in the hope of making it the best date ever. My friend’s brother Rony, tied the knot recently and was shocked to learn on his wedding night that his bride had always dreamed of marrying a guy who makes her laugh non-stop. Rony, in his true pragmatic style, tried tickling his bride the whole night, much to her dismay and his delight. I know Rony well enough to understand that his sense of humour is limited to an occasional uproar when someone slips on a banana peel or a poodle poops on its owners lap. Thanks to God, Rony’s bride has taught herself to live with a humourless husband while appreciating his other superior senses.

If I were to trust the sad stories of my male colleagues, the poor things hardly know what exactly this sense of humour is or why women feel naturally attracted to men who make them laugh.

Maybe it goes like this. It’s quite normal to think you are enjoying yourself when you are laughing. You feel good after watching a comedy show and yearn to see it again for that feel-good moment. The same goes with men. A woman feels good after spending time with a man who makes her laugh and will pine for his company in the hope of reliving that moment of side-splitting enjoyment. Women thus reach a conclusion that marrying a guy with a good sense of humour assures marital bliss filled with laughter and joy. At this juncture, I can’t help wondering why women never thought about marrying clowns? (not that they don’t make a handsome pair).

So, is it only women who feel good in the company of people with above-average humour sense? Don’t we all, old and young alike, long for a little laughter in our lives?

Of course, we do. And this means humour has nothing to do with men. Yippee! Guys, you can now heave a sigh of relief. Humour has everything to do with the emotion it evokes in each one of us. In the case of women, they enjoy humour most when it comes from a good-looking man and vice-versa.

Now does that mean women with a great sense of humour rank high in a man’s list?
Nah! Men have other things on mind when they see a woman. Don’t believe me
