Why men don't like funny women

• mcv 11y ago
  But I love funny women! I particularly like my funny wife.

  >It was a weighty subject, so occasionally she would inject a sarcastic comment about her own upbringing to lighten the mood. ...my first reaction to that was that sarcastic people aren't as funny as they think they are. Maybe I'm not alone.

  I was expecting a rant, but actually this is quite a good article. Seems to look at a bunch of different data points, and while it is still opinionated I think the author goes to great lengths to justify their opinion (and intentionally evolves it). Worth a few minutes to read even if it didn't really change my opinion about the topic at hand.

  I'm extremely drawn to funny women. I like that they play around mentally with cultural taboos and find creative ways of walking the line between making themselves laugh and making other people uncomfortable.

  Why was the title changed to say something the article does not claim?

    Because the submitter editorialized, which violates the HN guidelines.
