Despite recent arguments to support this article, I was kind of hoping that this wasn’t the truth.
“Research to be published this week in a leading academic journal confirms what many female comics - and funny women - have long suspected: men are frightened by their brand of humour. While men might chuckle at the odd gag, when it comes to finding a long-term companion they do not want a partner who will fire a stream of witty repartee at them, according to the study carried out by academics at some of the world’s top universities.”
This is bullshit. I am a man and I fancy funny women. I cherish ANYONE that “will fire a stream of witty repartee at” me. Anyone who doesn’t find that to be an awesome and desirable personality trait in a partner is, simply, an idiot.
