8 reasons why girls prefer funny guys

What is it about guys with a sense of humour that makes girls go weak in the knees? Funny guys have a certain charm about them that no girl can deny.
Here are the reasons why girls are hooked to witty guys.

Funny guys are entertaining: Going out with a funny guy never gets boring. His spontaneity is infectious and he can play practical jokes with a straight face. He can make you laugh at the drop of a hat. Dating a funny guy is exciting because you are constantly on your toes to keep up with his shenanigans. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

They are creative: Ask any writer what's the most difficult genre to bring out and he will most likely say, comedy. It's one thing to tell 'Yo Mama' jokes and indulge in bathroom humour and another to find a one liner that elicits belly laughs. If your guy is funny, he's probably vastly knowledgeable in a variety of subject matters and can mimic them well. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

They are social: A funny guy is usually the life of the party. He can ease awkward social situations with a well-placed joke at the right time. Dating a 'wise guy' is easy and you never have to worry about leaving him alone in a room full of strangers. Funny guys know what makes people tick so he will break the ice and get them chuckling by the time you are back. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

They have good observation skills: Comedians are good observers of the people and things around them. That's why they always find something to poke fun at. How is he going to poke fun at your pink Barbie doll with tassels unless he has observed it on your side table? They have a keen sense of what is going on around them.

They make you feel safe: You can be yourself around him. Girls feel safe and comfortable around goofy guys. Your walls immediately melt away. His demeanour teaches you to laugh at yourself and the absurdities of life. He doesn't mind making a fool out of himself and makes you want to do the same when you're together.

They get along with your friends: A goofy guy will impress your friends in an instant. He doesn't mind taking the stage — metaphorically — and performing jokes at a party. His wacky humour has your friends floored and enjoying his company. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

They are confident: Only a funny guy can make fun of himself for the amusement of others. He may not come across as confident but he is fully secure in himself. Behind his goofy facade is an emotional person so be careful with your jibes when you are together. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

They bring a smile to your face: You can't be angry with a funny man for too long. One cute smirk and you have forgotten why you were upset with him to begin with. He will make you laugh through the tears and giggle through the fears. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)
