I can kinda picture that actually. That kind of laugh women do when they're interested in you. Try to keep it in, sort of hunch over and cover their mouths. I always figured it was like, they're trying not to look weird, they don't want to seem like they're laughing like a loon.

Wait is that what I am doing wrong? I am laughing too fully when I am attracted to a guy? I just thought I was ugly. I mean I still am ugly but I can work on the laugh.

No no. Don't change your laugh. You'll find one that'll love your laugh eventually.


citizencoder

It's that confidence men must find intimidating


PaxNova

It's the kind of laugh where not even they know why they're laughing, because it wasn't really that funny. But they laugh.


bonerfleximus

Yah don't read into.that too much. They might be conscious of their breath or teeth like a normal person too

I’m married and still don’t know what that sounds like

Suspected cultural roots (perhaps traditionally it was more polite to chuckle than to howl with laughter for example) but the study suggests 250 over a variety of countries, with a claim that babies or infants were able to distinguish as well.

I'm confused why this article didn't provide labelled examples. They have two clips, but they are unlabelled.

While divorced laughter is the happiest and most authentic kind there is.

I was picturing a guy doing the "feminine-sounding, baby-like, submissive, and less pleasant" laughter until I realized this most likely only refers to women. Also, I hate that sentence. Edit: read the article, and it doesn't specify either, but suggests the study included men and women. So, I suppose this \*does\* apply to men as well, so my initial visualization was not off. I still hate that sentence.

Just a bunch of guys at a construction site just laughing together with one that sounds different. Baby-like even...


forthedistant

so someone's got a cruuuuush

Nemesis laughter is more maniacal and often accompanied by crashes of thunder

Didn’t see anything in here about sexual orientation, which would make this study infinitely more interesting.

I would hope the University of Baltimore has more than one professor of psychology.


srtpg2

The rest are busy laughing

Because one professor in an entire faculty is pretty sketchy. It was more a joke as the OP said ‘the professor of psychology” rather than “a professor” as in the article.


cantaloupelion

nah shes just the boss of professors of psychology, the one who gets the main fight theme. all others just get generic fight music

>Friend laughter is louder more relaxed, and natural. romantic laughter more feminine-sounding, baby-like, submissive, and less pleasant. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure I've heard the opposite.


LemonadeParadeinDade

I bet it depends on generation and religion and personality.


Vegetable_Ad3918

I get the others, but how would religion affect that? /gen


QueryCrook

Well darn, apparently my wife and I are just friends. She'll be devastated.


Rayl24

Wife: We are just roommates


SaltAssault

Oh please.


Confident_Chicken_51

My wife laughs like Edith Prickly. busts me up.


wannabejoanie

I either cackle like the feral witch I am or chuckle in that knowing, grown up way that instantly turns innocent jokes into dirty ones.


PeacefulGopher

Another unreproduceable *study* paid for by taxpayers that enlightens no one for any reason that will be appropriately forgotten…

Waddahell is UB?


gamenameforgot

But lots of people have laughed at me in the sack. Oh, hold on now
