Women enjoy humor more than men.

MorganGrayson · 11-08-2005

I once had a psychiatrist tell me "if you didn't have such a great sense of humor, you'd be dead." He was right.

I *know* I don't expect comedies made after a the 80's to be funny. I've sat through way too many movies without so much as cracking a smile to expect to laugh. When I do find a comedy that makes me laugh, it makes me laugh a *lot.* I don't expect those jokes that nice, well-meaning people bomb their friends with in email to be funny, either. I don't expect cartoons to be funny, either. I'm very much aware of what they discovered in the study: I'm female and I have very low expectation of a reward for these things. However, I also love one-liners and slapstick, so I don't know what to do with that.
