OK, so I posted this a few times to the chat but it never showed
up... I wanted to ask you all what you thought about this (now
dated) article in the Post's Unconventional Wisdom
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-
dyn/content/article/2006/03/15/AR2006031502318.html> under "Funny
Girls and Boys." So that you don't have to follow the link, here's
the text:
"Funny Girls and Boys
Studies had consistently shown men and women looking for Mr. or Ms.
Right say they want someone with a "good sense of humor." Two recent
studies, however, offered persuasive evidence that men who claim to
value humor in a woman really don't.
Now a team of three psychologists headed by Eric R. Bressler of
Westfield State College in Massachusetts claims it has come up with
a Grand Unification Theory of humor to explain those contrary
findings: Men and women mean different things when they say they
want to meet and mate with someone who's funny.
Women liked guys who made them laugh and who also laughed at their
jokes. But the psychologists found that men were only looking for an
audience: Those self-centered little piggies valued women who
laughed at their jokes and could not care less about a woman who
made them laugh."
What I immediately thought of is that this may be why so many women
love Gene.
