I'm not talking about women "with a good sense of humour" I mean women who are fast and witty and funny.

My ex was the funniest person I ever met; razor sharp with an enormous range of references. We had literally hundreds of running jokes that waxed and waned and which we bounced off each other. It was a kind of showing off to each other flirting and was positive and bonding.

I'm not sure if men in general like this though.

Ladies what's been your experience?

Do gentlemen prefer blands?

You're asking the women what they think men prefer? OK, I'll stay out of this. Not sure why you'd go that direction with the question.

Well, I do.

Other men might or might not, or might wish they had what I have, or they might not, or if they did, might not know what to do with it.

It helps to be funny and good-looking, and normal - not bland normal, just not crazy!

Absolutely.

Humour makes life better.

A woman who truly gets my jokes is great.

A woman who makes me laugh is awesome!.

I do.
A genuine sense of humor is crucial to me being attracted to someone.
You don't have to be a comedian...just have a "wit."

Here again it is being appropriate, being balanced. If I feel like I am always at the Comedy Club then you may need to try and find some seriousness in life. Though if you can't even crack a smile at any of my jokes then maybe you need a funny bone replacement.

I've dated men who tried to be funny and cracked jokes and failed. then they told me i had no sense of humor. so it's all about perspective, i guess.

I don't like women who are funny. In fact, the less a woman talks, the better.

Being of a certain age and form, I'm certain that my sense of humor is a major reason that I've been asked out since my divorce. It makes sense when I consider that the men concerned were all very sharp-witted with a wicked sense of humor.
