OPINION:
Who doesn't love a good laugh? I certainly do. There aren't many in my circle whom I have never enjoyed a belly laugh with, that's how important laughter is to me. I don't expel friends if we don't laugh together, but over time I guess we drift apart until we are acquaintances instead of those I spend more time with.
Recently a sense of humour has become sexy. Although always on the priority list of most women when they are ticking off what they are looking for in a partner especially with younger women, a sense of humour usually comes after trivialities like a particular job or height. The past weeks have highlighted how far a good sense of humour can get you, and I'm so here for it.
Let me preface this by saying that almost no one is completely void of humour. I can think of a few I'd put in that category, but it is slim and maybe they are just portrayed really badly on every news channel, but it's about finding friends and partners who tickle your own funny bone. A sense of humour isn't just cracking funnies like someone who has memorised a Lucky Book Club joke book. While it may be attractive to some, when anyone starts launching into scripted jokes, unless they are Jerry Seinfeld, I want none of it. Comedic timing, a witty turn of phrase, a solid imitation, the ability to tell an entertaining story; they are all facets of a sense of humour.
