“Good things still need balance.”
inr/AskWomen, I knew it wasn’t going to be a bunch of clowning around:
1.
“It was amazing at first.
He was super funny and super charismatic, and everyone loved him.
But he was awful in bed and had zero idea how to be a good boyfriend.
He made a lot of mistakes and then brushed them off like they were nothing.”
“I date almost exclusively funny people.
Having a partner who makes you laugh is life-changingly wonderful.”
“Its just important to ensure that youre compatible in more ways than just humor.
Thats a mistake Ive made many times.
My now-spouse is very funnyandvery kind, caring, smart, thoughtful, etc.
Im glad I held out for the whole package.”

He laughs, and you end up giving in and laughing, too.
The purpose of the argument ends up diminishing, and nothing changes or comes from it."
“The guys I dated who were ‘very funny’ were usually overcompensating for something.
One of them was immature and terrible in bed, and the other suffered from depression.

“The jokes, lightheartedness, nonstop conversation, and perpetual laughter were good until they weren’t.
“Well, it definitely kept things interesting and entertaining.
I never knew what hilarious comment or joke would come out next, and it always made me laugh.
We had a lot of fun together and were able to connect on a deeper level through laughter.”

“I married the funny one.
A sense of humor is an absolute must.
That was my ex.
I mistook it for confidence once upon a time.”
I don’t think he’s winning that fight to this day.”

“I’ve been dating him for two years, and we’re about to move in together.
First, there’s a difference between someone who thinks they’re funny and someone who actually is.
He’s a nerdy voice actor/stunt guy so he’s excellent at articulating and presenting his humor.
He also has a quieter personality, so he isn’t ‘on’ all the time and annoying.
Good things still need balance.”
“The funny one always took the spotlight.
I’ve had many people ask if I was antisocial or just shy.

“It can be exhausting, especially if they constantly need attention.
If they perceive you as funnier, they get very insecure about it.
“My current girlfriend is seriously one of the funniest people I have ever met.
There is constant laughter and playfulness in our relationship, and I truly love and cherish it.
And not only that, she’s incredibly gorgeous and stylish.”
Like, shut the fuck up for five minutes, my dude.”
