The Definitive Book of Body Language

Studies show that women lough at men they're attracted to,

and men are attracted to women who laugh at them.

This explains why having a sense of humour is near the top of

women's priority list of what they look for in a man. When a

woman says 'He's such a funny guy - we spent the whole night

laughing together' she usually means that she spent the night

laughing and he spent the night making her laugh.

From a man's perspective, saying that a

woman has a good sense of humour doesn't mean

she tells jokes; it means she laughs at his jokes.

On a deeper level, men seem to understand the attraction value
of being humorous and spend much of their time with other
men competing to tell the best joke to enhance their own status.
Many men also become annoyed when one man dominates the
joke-telling, especially when women are present and are also
laughing. Men are likely to think the joke-teller is not only a jerk
but he isn't particularly funny either, come to think of it - despite
the fact he has all the women in fits of laughter. The point for
men to understand is that humorous men look more attractive to
most women. Fortunately, you can learn to be humorous.
