According to a study<\/a> by Stanford University School of Medicine, a sense of humor is what women want in a man. During the study, researchers found that the reward-related areas of women’s brains showed greater activity than men’s in response to humor. So what does this mean? That women understand and appreciate humor. A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this mean for you?  Well, if you’re looking to attract woman, you might want to start by making them laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s take a look at your profile. Are you smiling in your profile pic, or are you sporting your serious, \u201cBlue Steel\u201d look? If it\u2019s the latter, then you might want to switch it for a more light-hearted shot of you. Don’t force the smile; instead, show off the fun side that your family and friends usually see. You’ll look better showing off an authentic expression than striking a pose from your best side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s consider your content. Sure, adding that you\u2019re addicted to watching \u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d could be an acceptable conversation-starter, but almost everyone watches \u201cGame of Thrones.\u201d Have fun with your profile. Don’t be afraid to make fun of yourself or add some sarcasm. If your profile makes her laugh, she’ll be more likely to meet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the date, don\u2019t assume you have to be a constant comedian, but doing your best to keep the mood light will help you both relax. If the waitress got your order wrong, make light of it. Share a funny story from your childhood. Don’t be afraid to tease your date. Having fun will make the date more memorable, and will place you in the \u201csuitable partner\u201d category faster than you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
