How do you get a girl to like you? = Laughter

Two recent studies that confirm a long-standing stereotype of flirting: that women like funny guys, while men like women who laugh at their jokes.

Eric Bressler of Westfield State College, Massachusetts, and colleague Sigal Balshine of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, did this by asking more than 200 male and female college students to examine photos of members of the opposite sex. Some had funny quotes pinned beneath them, such as: "My high school was so rough we had our own coroner." Others had bland ones: "I'd rather walk to school than take the bus."

Women ranked the humorous men as better potential partners, the researchers found - and as more friendly, fun and popular. Men's view of a woman, on the other hand, appeared to be uninfluenced by her wit.

What does this means for those seeking love? …it boils it down to a simple line of advice for the ladies: "If you're not interested in a guy then don't laugh at his jokes." Read the full article here.
