A new study shows that women fall for the funny guy and guys fall for women who laugh at their jokes. Getting people to laugh at your jokes is obviously a big deal, and not just for those who lack the talent or the timing needed for squeezing laughter out of lines, says recent research conducted by Eric Bressler of Westfield State College, Massachusetts, and Sigal Balshine of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
The scientists believe their research throws new light on the evolutionary origins of our sense of humour. According to one theory, women prefer funny men because their wit reveals an active and healthy brain — and a fine set of underlying genes. Accordingly, humour could be a powerful and reliable indicator of creativity and intelligence that conferred a much-sought-after evolutionary advantage.
