Guys, has a girl's sense of humour ever been a SIGNIFICANT factor in liking her? (dating, wife)

a good sense of humor but not 'pretty enough' is going to earn you a lot of guy friends and nothing else. They'll call you about the problems with their gfs.

'Not pretty enough' varies from person to person.
I don't think hideous looking funny men have it all that much better, to tell the truth. Maybe plain, somewhat ugly ones.

that might be true about hideous funny guys. I don't know what you mean by 'plain, somewhat ugly ones' -- who? guys?...I didn't say hideous girls, but ones that aren't pretty enough. I don't think hideous either sex is going to get any attention. That's just how the world works. But I'm telling you a girl (or guy) that doesn't fall within the boundaries of pretty enough to date, will be good for a laugh from the opposite sex and nothing (unless they want to use them for a FWB or whatever situation).
Has to be physically attractive. And I am not even shallow about it because to me attractive doesn't have to mean Megan Fox or bust, but really just not chubby. Yet, if she's tall I would let chubby pass.
Point is, there has to be some above average physical attraction too. Sense of humor is great but everyone has it. Even pretty "dullard" girls laugh.
I disagree with the bolded part. Many people think they have a sense of humor, but I've noticed over the years, that many people DO NOT!! Yes, a dullard can still laugh but that doesn't equate to much in my book.
I think HUMOR is very important in my life...my husband and I find humor in so many things. We laugh frequently...observations, ironies, play on words, situations that aren't funny but need air...I find I can't wait to talk to him each night when I get home b/c so many people don't "get" me or my humor, but he does and I enjoy that so much.
There's a very pretty woman I work with and she seems very sweet and capable. However, when I make a comment about something she may have brought up (work situation), she's like a door knob. So no, not all people have a sense of humor (or my kind of humor but I'm pretty lenient in that regard).
Anyway, not like my opinion matters too much, but I think when you're looking for someone to spend your time with (long term or otherwise), being able to laugh about life and all that it brings is one of the most important things you can look for.
I'm not talking about someone who was physically very unappealing...but someone you might not otherwise notice too much, maybe average, a bit chubby, plain...who had a great sense of humour: i.e. could both joke AND appreciate GOOD jokes (not just laugh at your unfunny ones).
I could see myself liking a fairly plain gal who was really funny/fun to be around. If her bod was decent, that could turn me on, but in terms of the emotional component it could definitely make me like her a lot.
yes, definitely.
if she's downright ugly, her sense of humor won't matter.. but it can make an average girl more appealing than a "hot" one.
an average or attractive girl that has a sense of humor and laughs at my jokes and is also somewhat funny is a winner... cant stand a girl that has no sense of humor
More often, a woman's lack of (shared) sense of humor (with me) or in rare cases complete lack of humor is a turnoff for me.
I can't recall too many women that I have found bowl-over hilarious. Women aren't programmed the same as men to be a rolling ball of never ending one-liners. I also have a pretty idiotic anti-social sense of humor that most women don't share.
Plus, I find that people who are 'always on' and 'hilariously funny' often have to resort to making fun of others to pull it off and that's not too appealing.
