When it comes to things people find funny, is there a difference between men and women? Is there anything that makeswomen’s humorunique? Apparently, men and women generally can find different things funny. A 1991 studyfoundthat men are more into slapstick, active humor and hostile jokes. Women, on the other hand, preferred self-deprecating humor and sharing funny jokes.A study in 2023 alsosoughtto understand whether men and women have different humor preferences. The researchers didn’t find any major differences, but the men did like situational and visual jokes over the rest. Women, however, preferredjokesabout domestic situations and political commentary.

A 2005 study also found that gender affects how a person perceives humor. Psychiatrist Allan Reiss from Stanford University led the research andfoundthat women’s brains responded to funny stimuli more than men’s. They showed a set of cartoons to each participant, and when women got the joke’s punchline, they were more pleased about it than men.
When women are looking for a partner, they don’t particularly like dirty jokes. One studycomparedhow women perceive men’s dating profiles with crude jokes and without them. Those who wanted a long-term relationship rated higher those men who didn’t use dirty jokes in their profile. Those who had more relaxed attitudes toward casual sex, however, preferred the crude jokesters.
Interestingly, humor plays an important role in attraction and flirting. Numerous studies have found that women prefer a partner with a good sense of humor or who can make them laugh. Evolutionary psychologistssaythat’s because humor means intellect and strong genes. And women, who are more selective because of the burdens of pregnancy, view being funny as a genetic benefit.
Men, on the other hand, are not so bummed if their significant other doesn’t have a great sense of humor. In one study, guyssaidthey preferred someone “who laughs at their jokes” over someone who’s funny. Moreover, men find women more attractive when they laugh, because it signals appreciation and interest.
One study set out to find out the truth to the old-age debate: who’s funnier, men or women? They asked 3,500 people to rate jokes without knowing the gender of the author. The results were in favor of men: 65% of menwere funnierthan the average woman.
However, the lead researcher of the study Dr. Gil Greengrosstoldthe BBC that this is not innate. He says that the average woman doesn’t get the pressure to practice and hone her jokester skills in the same way that a man does; therefore, she might not be as good at it. “Over our evolutionary history, men likely had to compete harder with other men to impress women with their sense of humour,” he explained.
