A recent eHarmony study found that a sense of humor is the number one "Must Have" that both men and women are looking for in a partner.
Now, using a sample of 519,835 women and 331,138 men from the online dating site's 2010 member base, researchers at eHarmony have uncovered what styles of humor are most attractive/popular to the opposite sex. The full results of the study are displayed in a neat infographic below.
Here are the key takeaways from the study:
- Guys enjoy a sarcastic women
- Women tend to like guys with a dry sense of humor
- Men prefer women who use “guy humor” – sarcastic, juvenile, geeky or raw -- whereas women prefer guys who use “gal humor” – sarcastic, dry or ironic.
Hey, you might not find your perfect match, but at the very least you'll be able to choose an appropriate movie companion.
