Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Much has been written about the battle between the sexes. More than a hundred years ago, a German neurologist published a book noting that women's brains are smaller than men’s. Paul Julius Möbius then came to the confident conclusion that this makes women “physiologically weak-minded.” Yes. He said it.

Thankfully, research has moved with the times. A string of more modern studies have found that  there’s really no difference in the average intelligence between guys and girls. But other research has found that there are some differences when it comes to men and women, and what they find funny. If you consider yourself someone with a man’s sense of humor, we’ve found the perfect place for you to get your fix of funny.

    The class clown is more likely to be male. That’s according to research led by a guy called Robert Provine. He observed 1,200 situations over a one year period. Provine and his assistants wanted to find out what role gender played in humor, jokes and laughter. “In conversations between men and women, females laughed 126 percent more than their male counterparts,” reported Psychology Today, adding that “females do the most laughing while males do the most laugh-getting.”

    They also found that when men are with other men, they laugh only about half as often as women do when they’re with their girlfriends. And that women didn’t really care who they were with. They laughed more regardless. But, women prefer to do the laughing, and not the joking.

    Anyone who thinks he forgot he was a descendant of a t-rex never had a rooster. Every rooster I ever had would fight me at 6' tall when they were all of 8" tall if the mood struck them. To be honest the outcome was 50/50. I always just ran.

    Several other studies have shown that women prefer men with a great sense of humor. Apparently they find funny men clever. As Psych Central reported, "Evolutionary psychologists have theorized that a sense of humor is a sign of intellect and strong genes and that women, the more selective sex due to the burdens associated with pregnancy, are attracted to funny men because of the genetic benefit that could be bestowed upon potential offspring.”

    Paul Osincup is a humor strategist and the author of “The Humor Habit”. He helps companies boost positivity and productivity by injecting some funny into their work culture. Osincup told Ask Men that being funny both puts your date at ease and pulls them in. “Not only that, but laughter also boosts the hormone responsible for human connection — oxytocin,” said Osincup.

    It’s a statement backed up by other experts. Like Mark Verber, a professional counselor at EPIC Counseling Solutions. “Whether it’s the first-date jitters or talking about retirement plans 40 years later, laughter helps to lighten the mood,” he told Ask Men. He added that when he asks his clients what initially attracted them to each other, most say a great sense of humor.

    Back then, things were made to last. Now they're made to break just after the warranty date 😫

    right? I remember a teacher showing us a video of women's stockings stretched between two cars going opposite directions...they just. didn't. break. Apparently, mine can't even stand the force of my big toe.

    As a retired 70 year old, I can tell you most everything then was made to barely outlast the warranty (except for air streams). Some lasted forever but most died within a few years of warranty or needed MASSIVE repairs.

    I'm a few years younger than you are, but I can testify that automobiles last considerably longer now than they did a few decades ago. Back then most didn't make it to 100,000 miles. Now they last two or three times that long, and with fewer repairs.

    Not the same car, aside from the colour looks at the lines on the rear wheel arch.

    1956 Chevrolet 210 Two-Door Sedan. Both sets of wheels are owner-installed (not factory equipment). The tires in the "Old" photo are clearly modern (narrow-stripe white-walls did not exist in the 1950s).

    Two different cars because the tire rear wells are different. Front tire has a trim, bottom doesn't. The rear tire well is broken line, bottom doesn't. No name on the top and is straight corner up and down. Bottom has a name of car and there is a curve.

    The story is Henry Ford sent his guys to the junkyard to see what parts of his cars were wearing out. They came back and told him everything aged about the same except for the kingpins (suspension part) which lasted longer. "Make them cheaper" is what Ford said so it's always been going on.

    What’s considered funny differs between men and women. Same applies when they’re being funny. Ladies like a more storytelling approach, and sharing hilarious things that happened. Guys prefer one-liners and often engage in slapstick. Think “dad jokes”. Professor of psychology at the University of Zurich, Willibald Ruch, has invested a huge amount of time in investigating the subject. He scrutinized research about humor and gender differences done between 1977 and 2018. And here’s what he found…

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Men and women understand the same jokes but don’t appreciate them in the same way, “Differences primarily exist in the production of aggressive humor, such as cynicism and sarcasm, and to a lesser extent in the context-free creation of jokes and punchlines,” wrote Horizons Mag when reporting on Ruch’s findings.

    While being funny might work in your favor as a man, the opposite can apply to women. According to studies, women who cracked a joke during business presentations were considered less competent than those who kept it serious when addressing colleagues.

    As the Harvard Business Review notes, “Humor expressed by males is likely to be interpreted as more functional and less disruptive compared with humor expressed by females.” It goes on to say that funny guys get a higher status than men with a dull sense of humor. Funny females are taken less seriously than those who keep a straight face at work.

    My kid jumped into the jungle of Fortnite when he was 6. He made some pretty good friends in-game, but also dealt with the toxicity that comes with being so young & not knowing how to play well. One kid in particular helped him day in/out. They became fast friends. Only, the kid’s folks were going thru a horrible divorce & custody battle. 18 months of playing together every day & he just disappeared. We knew he played on Switch & his username was a combo of his name, his dad’s birthdate & his area code (2500mi away). His profile was gone, but we searched for another year. No luck. It was a real loss for my son & he grieved. He missed his buddy so much. Then, I got my son a PS5 and later a PC. I secretly started searching again & found him on Steam. They reconnected & the kid is now in a stable & calm home with his dad. Both have moved on from Fortnite. We’ve been able to arrange two IRL visits & they still game together almost daily. They text & FaceTime now more than they play.

    One time my boyfriend started a fight with a boss in a game and then wandered into the kitchen to turn off something he had on the stove. He says to me "Fight the Colossus for me!" We both play the game (First Descendant), so I wasn't expecting any issues. Then I realized my boyfriend has the most UNHINGED keyboard and mouse-button bindings. NOTHING is bound to what it is normally bound to. I remember yelling "WHY IS YOUR GRAPPLING HOOK BOUND TO YOUR RIGHT-MOUSE BUTTON?!" as his character grappled across the screen after I'd pressed the button - right-click is usually "aim". XD Luckily the boss wasn't a difficult one and I was able to defeat it even with his unhinged keybinds.

    I once dreamed that I was on top of the Big Ben tower, riding a giant zombie chicken as giraffes were raining from the sky. Then, the orcs came, ate Italian Panna Cotta on a road shop and then went on to invade Hogwarts in order to move it to an archipelago in India and plant rose bushes all around it. Weirdest dream ever, I even wrote the whole story down somewhere and drew the chicken ...
