Have you ever had a strong physical attraction to someone because of their sense of humor, either someone you know personally or someone in the public sector? ---

I’m really liking Taylor Tomlinson. She is funny and very hot. She openly jokes about being crazy, which is one of my types. If we were in a crowed room together we would find each other. She totally looks and acts like my college GF. ---

A man who can laugh at himself instantly doubles in attractiveness. I don’t mean masochistic self-deprecation, but just being able to notice when he’s made a mistake and laugh about it. And be OK with you laughing too, or even invite others to laugh at their foibles. It indicates a level of safety. ---

When my husband and I were dating (all 4 weeks) he kept me laughing with stories of his past and some outright jokes. But I can’t say that I was strongly attracted to him just because of that. It was one part of the whole. And I’m not sure humor is a big attraction as much as lack of it is a deterrent. Nobody wants to hang with a grump. ---

My exwife for sure. I swear half the reason we’re still friends is because of our epic banter and inside jokes. ---

Yes, but it wasn’t enough to make a romantic relationship work on its own. ---

I love love someone who is _clever_ and funny. Telling the old and crusty jokes on repeat is not cute, at all. ---

A girl who is funny automatically increases her sexiness factor by about four with me. I love a whip smart, nerdy girl with a great sense of humor. Desi Lydic is a good example. Also Sarah Silverman and Ricki Lyndhome / Kate Micucci of Garfunkel & Oates. ---

Funny yes. Funnier than me, no. Thats my thing. I always make people laugh with ad libs. Kindof my lifes mission. On our first date my husband told me at least 50 jokes. Loved the frayed knot one.
