That is, if you're single, how high is a sense of humour on list of character traits in a potential boyfriend/girlfriend. How important is sense of humour to you and Do you think you have a good one? I think its important that you can have a good laugh together in a relationship and I like to think I have a good one, ok I admit it may be a bit OTT at times! lol

I think sense of jumour is a very good part of anyone's personality. I am not very good at it, but I really enjoy to talk to a person who has a good sense of humour. My hubby has this art. Also we have some friends who are so good taht you will never feel bore to talk with them or spending long time with them.

I think humor is in the top 10 of my list, with all the bad in the world today I think laughing now and then (daily) is good for the soul.

This is very important to me when I am looking for a new friend or a date. I have a great sense of humor. I look for this and a quick wit. I like to be entertained and I like to entertain. A good laugh is very important in any kind of relationship. ODD is good too!

Sense of humor is very very important to me. I am a person with a lot of sense of humor, and I love to laugh all the time, and to make jokes from time to time. Now, if my date for example is boring, and doesn't like to laugh so much, then I cuy it immediatly, because I have nothing to do with her. For my opinion, person with no sense of humor is a boring person.

I think it is really important to have a sense of humor. A relationship can be dragged down by a lot of other tensions that come into play. So it is good to have that humor as a release. PLus, its like I always say. if you can't laugh at yourself, you are truly sad.

Sense of humor is one of the top 3 traits a man must have with me. My ex was always so glum, the world was bad, he hated life, everyone was against him. I lived with that for close to 20 years and at this point I figure if you can't laugh about the world around you just shoot yourself now because it isn't getting any better! LOL

I love people with a sense of humour. All of my family have a great sense of humour and it helps me to get through even the most difficult of times. I can never moan or complain because somebody will always end up making me see the funny side of things. I am always the victim of the bantering, but I love it.

Having a sense of humour is absolutely vital to me in a partner, I don't think I'd get on at all with someone who didn't have a good one and be able to take a laugh, I'm sarcastic a bit more often than I really mean to be and anyone I'm going to spend a lot of time with needs to understand and appreciate that, and be able put me back in my box by doing the same when I get a bit out of hand!

I think a sense of humour is very important in a realtionship especially as the partnership becomes more permanent. To be able to see the funny side of lots of problems / difficulties in life somehow makes them less to have to deal with. I have been married for over 30 years but think a sense of humour is what helps us most as a couple to tolerate each others 'annoying' habits. I have a really weird sense of humour and find nearly anything and everything has a funny side.

You need a good sense of humour in any relationship the first thing that attracted me to my hubby was his cheeky grin and his nickname is smiley lol. Having 4 children means seeing the funny side of so many things we often just collapse with laughter! Even when things are tough the humour gets you through really don't like grumpy people everything is so dire. My youngest daughter decided to try on my bra yesterday well it fell of as she was showing me we both laughed together it wasn't a cruel laugh just one of poor hilarity

i get attracted to men who have sense of humor. laughter is a good way to enjoy someone's company, and if you are going to be in a relationship, it would be nice to spend some really good times laughing with your partner. but of course, there is always a time for everything. but then again, a relationship without laughter can really be boring...

I have been told I ahve a warped sense of humor. Others call it dry wit. My husband has absolutely no sense of humor and it can be quite annoying at times. I have made me laugh though, so he's not totally impossible!

I think its a very attractive quality one my hubby has, his nickname is smiley because he smiles a lot and i think thats the first thing that attracted me to him. i think i have a good sense of humour and we often find the same thing funny and both start laughing

A sense of humor is what of the most impotant parts in finding or having a boyfriend for me. I want the guy to be able to laugh and have a good time with me. I also want to be able to laugh with him. He has to be at least a little funny or he's just dull and boreing. That's just my opinion though.
