Someone asked me, whats the most important quality I require in a man.
A sense of humor, I said, without pause.
Have you ever been with a guy, or girl for that matter, who hasn’t had one?
Oh my. It’s like a bad joke, no pun intended.
I say frequently, if I didn’t have a sense of humor, I would have checked out long ago for that big 5-Star hotel in the sky, since it’s what keeps me sane.
Sexy, smart, rich…all that is great, but without laughs, you’re better off with a blow-up doll you can deflate and shove in the closet.
Life is tough enough without having to explain your punchlines.
If I had a choice between a hot, well-heeled man who took himself too seriously, and say a plumber, or cop who giggled into the night, well…hands up against the wall, there baby.

I recall the line from Wayne’s World, when posed with the same question, Wayne responds “breast size”. There’s a man with a sense of humour! 😉

As you can imagine that wouldn’t work for me.

Nor me but it did make me laugh and you have to appreciate the honesty.

I absolutely agree with you, Susannah. Humor is the glue that binds my Pookie-Pie and me together. The same is true of my friends.
Two of my female cousins lack the humor gene and just stare at me if I make a wise-crack. About once every year or two they say something funny (usually in a mean vein) and laugh hysterically until I’m ready to have them committed. You can’t pick your relatives.

I love that you call him Pookie-Pie. It reminds me of Soupy Sales and great desserts. 🙂

I second that and not just in romance. I can’t imagine how any relationship can work without a sense of humor.

I agree. I couldn’t live with someone who didn’t get my sense of humor and have a similar one, no matter who other qualifications they had.

It would be too painful otherwise always having to explain your jokes.

Never been so happy to have an off-the-wall sense of humor.

Love this one. If I can’t laugh a full belly laugh, then I am in trouble; because laughter soothes the savage beast that resides within me. THX for this reminder. And I look forward to meeting my funny man; before I am too old to enjoy him 🙂

I can’t imagine anyone being around you who wasn’t funny. I mean…the earth would shake otherwise.
