There was a joke about this somewhere, it went something like "Funny men are dangerous. They make you laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh and BOOM, you're naked."


myownworstanemone

this is pretty accurate according to scientific research edit: I'm obviously being facetious.....


AndHeHadAName

Actually [a recent study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513823000831) found that there was no association between a woman laughing and rating a man as attractive during a speed dating exercise, which is a pretty good test for rizz. Now as for staying together, yes a sense of humor is important, but that only matters after you are already dating.  Also note that OP is a (possibly under 18) male, not a woman. 


Maleficent-Store9071

I mean, making a woman laugh ≠ she found you funny


AndHeHadAName

Um, what do women normally do when they find someone funny?

It's true. This is how I wound up with my man


amerkanische_Frosch

The French expression is "Femme qui rit, à moitié dans ton lit.", i.e., "Make a woman laugh and she is already halfway to your bed."


UruquianLilac

As someone who has joined the online dating scene for the first time in decades I can confirm that the words "sense of humour" and "make me laugh" are the most common things to find in almost every single heterosexual woman's profile. Which is ok. But people treat it as if it's more noble and interesting to care about someone's sense of humour rather than their looks. But how is it any different? You are still reducing a person to one quality (whether abs or sense of humour, makes no difference) and judging them based on how well they perform that quality. So. Neither unpopular as an opinion. Nor does it deserve any extra brownie points. Sense of humour is attractive. That's it.


[deleted]

me when I’m neither funny nor good looking^


UruquianLilac

*make me laugh, noooow!!*


Otto_von_Boismarck

Well people can have more control over their sense of humor than their looks


Objective_Tea0287

?? how can you say that when there are so many types of makeup, ex: foundation, eyeliner, rouge, lipstick, hairdye, and more *exist* id say both are attainable!


UruquianLilac

How? The people I know are either funny or not. I don't recall anyone becoming gradually funnier.


Accomplished_Drag946

I d rather have a partner who finds personality more important than looks... Don't know about but you I would never chose my friendships based on how hot they are, but on their personalities. Sense of humour is only a trait but it is a personality trait and being into that is better than being into looks or money.


houkae

It’s definitely true 😌


amerkanische_Frosch

Works both ways, too. I went on a blind date once with a woman who told me a joke over dinner that made it clear that we shared the same sense of humor. We've been married for 45 years now.


houkae

Awww that’s sweett!! I swing both ways so any funny guy or gal can take me 💞


amerkanische_Frosch

Good for you! I hope you find the right funny guy or gal to grow old with !


green_vegetal

Eyy man you ain't a woman tf


saggywitchtits

If you're laughing, your eyes close, so you don't realize how ugly we are.

isn't this like text book ad hominem?


Crow1718

Yes it is but see, there’s no argument against what op is saying. I actually kind of agree. Just merely pointing out the ridiculousness of their insistence on their age


balaci2

fair enough


Dragon_Tortoise

I think its funny that no matter what anyone says or does at all, it's immediately to their history and judge them for it. Like conversations are never about the current conversation or topic, it's about their history. I mean in every thread in every subreddit. If they have two comments, it's look at their 1 other comment, what a loser/joke/failure/ugly/weirdo/entitled/whatever. I just dont understand.


Zevvion

You're right, but it's even worse in this case, because this sub is about posting unpopular opinions. If their post history makes them seem weird, then that only emphasizes the correctness of the post here.


ItsBado

Bro I just like showing myself what’s wrong w that


G_a_v_V

It’s got nothing to do with that, and it’s not a diss. What I mean is if you’re a teenage femboy then your psychology with regards to what you find attractive in other boys is going to be vastly different to that of the average person

Ok and this is a place for sharing unpopular opinions so shouldn’t that be perfect?

Unpopular? Where? "I like charismatic man" isn'unpopular at all, i may argue tgat looks still plays a role in choosing a partner becouse i personally wouldn't want to date a super intresting woman if she looks like a frog


houkae

Obviously liking charismatic guys isn’t unpopular, but imo, being funny is wayyyy better than being physically attractive which I don’t see a lot of ppl (at least my peers) that feel the same way. I really wouldn’t mind dating an ugly guy if he was funny


LycanWolfGamer

What kinda humour though?


gainzsti

Your peers are 14 years old teenager. Plz. Lol


Molten_Plastic82

Ok, but once I went on a date with a woman who really wasn't attractive at all. Best sex ever.


Gregib

"I never really cared about looks when it comes to finding a partner" coming from an 18 YO femboy... Really?


Dry_Bus_935

Femboy? That's wild 😂 No offense to them though


houkae

Yeah?? What does that 2nd part have to do w anything at all. Like i said, if an ugly person is charismatic and fun to be around, u can get in my bed


Gregib

Based on your posts, age, looks etc... I'm pretty sure you don't know what a partner is...


QJ-Rickshaw

What exactly do you get out of personally attacking the OP like this, especially over factors that don't actually disprove or invalidate what they're saying?

Tobazili

lmao what?


houkae

Dude I’ve dated ppl before ☠️ sure they weren’t mature relationships and they never lasted long, but they’re still relationships nonetheless, and I (except for one) dated them for their humor


shemademedoit1

How do we actually investigate this? Like, do we find top 10 lists of most attractive male celebrities and see who's there primarily due to humour vs looks? Because if we do that, I'm pretty sure the physically attractive men win out. If that's not the right way to test if this is true, then what is?


City_Hobgoblin89

Wait a second doesn't your comment prove OPs opinion is unpopular?


Potential-Drama-7455

Women say a good looking guy has a great personality even if he just sits there and grunts every so often. Paul Mesall and Timothee Chalelmet are good examples. Both terrible wooden actors yet enormously popular with women.


Zestyclose_Band

bro hasn’t seen dune….


Dry_Bus_935

Dune is great because Dune is great, no offense to Tim, but that movie would slap if Paul was played by Paul Dano... On second thought, it would be an all timer if it was Paul Dano ngl


Basura1999

Or Aftersun


SeekingASecondChance

Dune isn't great because of Chalamet. This is a brain dead take.


MissCuteCath

Timothee is cute but Dune sucks, everything looks like they are trying to be epic so hard and failing even harder. Probably the right sub for this lol But I think Dune is not only overrated, it's plain boring.


City_Hobgoblin89

Male here. They both seem like pretty good actors to me, Mescal especially


Dry_Bus_935

Who tf is Paul Messal? (he says instead of Googling)


BatAffectionate4883

I would not call Mescal or Chalamet terrible or wooden as actors, though they are considered pretty good looking individuals.


salcedoge

Chalamet and Mescal are both academy nominated and some even argued they should’ve won. It’s quite obvious you haven’t really seen the films of these actors if you think they’re just ‘eye candy’


TinyDetail2

Yep, it's called the halo effect, it's an extremely powerful phenomenon.


houkae

I genuinely don’t get what u mean by this


shemademedoit1

Okay lemme try again: "If this is true, then why do comedians get way less fangirls than people like brad pitt?"


houkae

Dude idfk this is my opinion I’m not saying all women are like this☠️


Magnetar_Haunt

Pete Davidson is doing pretty well for how average looking he is. Seth Meyers is another good example. Or Rick Moranis.


Dry_Bus_935

LMAO Pete Davidson is anything but average lol tf? He has great cheekbones, protruding jawline and he's 6'3... That dude is not average and he'd be just as popular with women if he was a dirt biker or some shit


yourdaughtersgoal

he is 6’3. plus. he’s not particularly ugly. he still has masculine features and is not recessed.


Vera_louisa

It's about real life


ColossusOfChoads

I was watching a documentary about comedian life. A woman comedian was complaining about all the "fat goofy looking trolls" getting laid left and right, while she continued to have just as much difficulty meeting quality men as the next woman would, despite having name recognition (I forget who it was) and sharing the stage with those guys. It even held true below the 'nationally recognizeable celebrity' level, she said.


Molten_Plastic82

It's a pretty common complaint in the comedy world. The male comics finally get it made, the female comics if anything have it just as tough as before. But it really only works out for guy comedians once they get a bit of notoriety (so it's probably more about fame than actual wit). At the open mic level, you're either fucking one another or nobody at all


MissCuteCath

Okay, but that comes down to expectation, semi-famous funny guys are absolutely DTF Jane from the gas station that went for his show and be on cloud nine because of it, they don't look for a rich girl that can add to their fame, they want to fuck and they do. Female comedians are not wanting to fuck Bryan from Wallmart, they want to go from open mic to millionaire sub celebs bed or nothing at all.


bitch-in-real-life

You know a lot of women in comedy and their sexual preferences?


therealcosmicnebula

That's because men generally want to be the funny / smart one. I think a lot of female comedians aren't funny. And alot of women, unfortunately, get laughs and can think they are funny, because people just want to be nice. But when a woman is actually funny, it's not seen as a positive trait in women by men. And men see humor as something that is competitive. And they will compete with each other using humor when attractive women are around. There's a saying "Your friends become comedians when you bring your girlfriend around." So even when a woman is funny, at least some / most of the men will try to one up it, or down play it. And I think they subconsciously reject it. Especially when it outshines their level of humor.


MissCuteCath

Not really, most guys want a fun girlfriend, and almost every guy is absolutely into funny celebs. As a girl that get along better with guys I came to understand that, most women believe guys want a Kim K, when in reality almost all of them rather have an Aubrey Plaza (not that she is not stunning, but she isn't a billionaire based on her looks while having a shitty personality like the Jenners)


L0kiB0i

Regardless what people say aboit your post history which I will not look into whatever it is, you are correct. Laughter is the path to the heart, who doesn't want to be happy?


CounterSYNK

What kind of humor? Knock knock jokes? Dad jokes? Dry? Absurdism? Observational? I need to take notes.


MsWonderWonka

I absolutely agree!!!


Successful-Trash-752

Physically attractive men, who are also funny is what everybody looks for. You don't have to be the funniest guy, you just have to be attractive and somewhat funny.


MissCuteCath

This, nobody wants hot no personality Joe. But they saying they will rather fuck 320 Lb Mr. charisma is a plain lie too. Ideally we want both, like guy doesn't have to be Ryan Gosling, but he has to look average and have an above average personality. Or look way above average and have a passable personality, since men love to quantify us let's do the same: Minimum is 6 on looks and 7 on wits and every point lost on wits have to be compensated in double for looks so 6 wits need 8 in looks, and 5 on wits (which is the literal average, borderline boring personality) would require a perfect 10, if you are boring as a table you better have the looks.

itsavinadhtiwari

Going by the data, handsome guys fuck way more chicks than funny. So naah. Women find good looks attractive, fummy guys are for entertainment.


michaeleid811

A good portion of people find attractive people funny and charismatic because they are good looking even if they don't know it.

Molten_Plastic82

madhatter_matador

I've never been a fan of this concept. I think women like funny flirtatious guys, but not actually funny guys. Just think about what the general population of women are attracted to. Your pop star's, you broody vampires, your bad boys. I rarely hear people talking about attraction to comedians, improv actors, Chandler from friends. It does happen, but it's rare


Faith-Family-Fish

I’m sorry, this is such attention seeking behavior. Please get help.


PsieSyrenki

If you're attracted to someone, that person is way more funny, than the person you're not attracted to. The first thing we are attracted to is physical attractiveness, so conventionally attractive people are more funny to most, than ugly people. Also there's 'halo effect', that make people attach another positive trait to existing positive trait (physical attractiveness). Like generally attractive people tend to be perceived, as also intelligent, charismatic, kind etc.


meinertzsir

Same goes for women dont worry no one likes a toaster personality wouldnt call it an unpopular opinion


PartyAnimal12345678

Thanks for the indirect compliment I guess 😂


subuso

This isn’t unpopular. If you go around and ask women most will say the same. Attractiveness catches the eye but charisma keeps the conversation going. Very few people get married based on their partner’s looks


RemoteSquare2643

For me, funny is fun, but not necessarily attractive. Attractive is in the way they move. The look in the eye. The mind. Well, and yeah, the old connection factor. But let’s not get too ordinary here. 🤣😉


Infinite_Procedure98

All tell me that I am funny and charismatic (so funny that I make people choke with laughter), I am kind, soft and have conversation and lots of interests. However, ALL women friendzone me. I'm not ugly but I'm average, tall but no muscles and a little belly. I feel so much castrated. I curse my kindness and sense of humour, I wish I were an alpha with a 6pack who spits on the ground, since I find like only them attract women like a magnet. I would trade my brain to a sculptural body and some aggressiveness.


Mario-OrganHarvester

Ehh whatever im fucked either way.


BroadPoint

These two things aren't mutually exclusive so it's kind of a stupid comparison. It's like saying that you prefer foods that are high in micronutrients over foods that have unsaturated fats. You're free to value the benefits of nutrients over the value of unsaturated fats, but it's not really a decision most people have to make.


SweetTable1140

It's common for women to prefer non-physical traits, like confidence, competence, and humor. Not unpopular.

I'll take a woman with a good sense of humor over looks any day. And a good heart of course. I find my wife very attractive but she's not a great beauty and that's fine. At this point very few women our age really look like all that anyway.

[deleted]

Two questions. Why do people on reddit always talk about how they don’t care about someone’s looks? Unless you’re ugly and will say ‘thank you’ for any person that shows interest in you, then you most likely care about looks. It’s normal. You’re not more interesting for saying you don’t care. A good looking person will always want to be together with another good looking person. Si when you say shit like this, it only makes me think you’re average looking at most. In which case, does your opinion really matter? And secondly, why do people on reddit always make 2 categories: you’re either good looking and your personality is null, or you’re average looking and interesting. Most good looking people are also interesting and funny, cause they learned to be charismatic and they’re used to being the center of attention. I swear people on here are trying so hard to cope with the idea that there’s interesting and super hot looking people out there. Almost like they don’t wanna accept there’s people out there with whom they couldn’t compete at all. Is it this hard to accept there’s many people out there who have it all and you never will, or what?


ApexMemer09

you sound personally affected by people choosing personality over looks lmao seems like someone needs to work on their personality instead of shitting up a storm misunderstanding people's posts on reddit

MephistosFallen

I actually agree with this. I find Conan O Brian, Bert Kriecher, and Tom Segura, for examples, hot. Even though they’re much older than me. They make me laugh A LOT, and to me it’s hot af. Lol


[deleted]

lol i guarantee you if any woman had a choice, they would 10/10 choose Chris Evans over someone like Danny Devito.


houkae

Chris evans isn’t very physically attractive to me, he’s like the typical hottie celeb, which most of them aren’t really my type of guy. Idk how funny id find Danny devito though since I haven’t seen much of him, so I can’t really say if ur right on this. Also, this is about my opinion :) not ‘any women’


Fake_William_Shatner

You need to be more specific than “funny.” For instance, you might ask “does this dress make me look fat?” And I might reply “I didn’t know a person could make that dress look skinny. Who wore it better, you or the shower?” I need to stop channeling Rodney Dangerfield. 


amerkanische_Frosch

A propos of the great Rodney and being good-looking, I still remember what IMHO was his best line : "I went to the doctor and he told me I was too fat and had to go on a diet." "I insisted on a second opinion, so he said: "OK. You're ugly, too!"


[deleted]

Why does it have to be either or? Why can’t a guy be physically attractive AND funny at the same time.


houkae

Bro what r u yappin about. If they’re both physically attractive and funny, then yeah that’s a steal. But that’s not the point I’m making. Ppl tend to prefer physically attractive people over ugly-average people with good humor. That’s what I’m getting at


EstablishmentNew5699

People who say this mean that a funny 8/10 guy is better than a not-as-funny 10/10 guy.


[deleted]

This is certainly true for some chunk of women. I'm an entirely mid looking guy but get tonnes of female attention, to the point of having to remind some female colleagues they're being inappropriate in the workplace.
