Despite recent arguments to support this article, I was kind of hoping that this wasn’t the truth.
“Research to be published this week in a leading academic journal confirms what many female comics - and funny women - have long suspected: men are frightened by their brand of humour. While men might chuckle at the odd gag, when it comes to finding a long-term companion they do not want a partner who will fire a stream of witty repartee at them, according to the study carried out by academics at some of the world’s top universities.”
The common thread in every single “Why men don’t like [some quality in women]” article/”study” in the history of ever is male dominance. Humor = power. Men want to be the ones with the power. The end.
Mostly, who cares? Because why would you even want to sleep with a man who doesn’t think you’re funny?
(bolded for truth)
