Laughter is the best medicine – this also applies in a partnership or when dating. Hardly anything binds the other person as much when getting to know each other as humor.
Over time, everyone’s looks deteriorate and what remains in a relationship over the decades is a person’s character and sense of humor. One more reason to cast at least one eye on the humor of the potential new partner when dating.
Even with the first sentences on dating apps, it is important that you come across as halfway funny in order to arouse the interest of the other person. With live data, it’s a bit more mixed, since you can perceive several impressions at once, such as optics, facial expressions, gestures and voice. But when you get to know each other in writing, you concentrate fully on the word and thus also on the verbal harmony and the same sense of humor.
In a study, the dating portal “Parship” asked 10,000 single participants what kind of humor they found particularly funny. The quality of self-mockery landed at the top of the list of those surveyed, with two-thirds of all finding this type of humor particularly important. People like to say that men and women don’t always have the same sense of humor, and this phrase often comes to light when it comes to choosing a film.
The study has now confirmed this. Men are much more into sarcasm and irony than women and they are also more attracted to rough black humor. Both sexes agree on one point, the dry humor entertains both equally. In contrast to men, women rely more on a little wit.
“Pick dich!”-“Pick dich yourself!” when sparrows argue: Don’t tell jokes when dating
But what you should completely eliminate from your repertoire when dating is telling classic jokes. With an average of six percent, that goes down well with absolutely no one and you should also leave the humor below the belt at home.
For three quarters of all study participants up to the age of 29, it is important that their partner also finds them funny and can laugh at the jokes. This value decreases with age. At around 60 percent, the over-60s are increasingly indifferent to how the joke goes down with their partner.
