I am one of those people that cannot make jokes out of the blue. I guess you could say i do not have a sense of humor. But all throughout the internet,and especially on dating sites,most men want a woman who can make them laugh. Even employers want someone who can provide entertainment and make people laugh.
If you do not,you are deemed boring. Why?
That is not my personality,but what is up with everyone wanting to be entertained and laughing constantly?

Having a sense of humor and possessing the ability to bring a smile to others is an asset that some people tend to place a certain premium on. There are individuals who value others for what they bring to either an informal gathering or relationship, and a robust sense of humor or joke telling ability need not be a prerequisite.
If and when you are not being appreciated for who you are, the best thing to do is not press the issue because it tends to be quite clear when behavior is unnatural and being forced. However, I would avoid the use of words like everyone and constantly since they are absolute in their meaning and can lead to a prejudging of those who do not seek such qualities.
I like a man that has a sense of humor. If they don't, the relationship usually doesn't work out for me.
I'm not talking about Jim Carey type of humor. I don't need or want constant joking and laughing. I like people that can laugh at my little quips or one liners. Lucky for me that plenty of my coworkers can take a joke and laugh with me.
Think about it like this. You crack a joke and your date doesn't laugh. Or your coworkers don't laugh. Too serious for me. Laugh a little. Smile a lot.

I hate when people just laugh over the stupidest mundane . I work as a call center supervisor and people try to explain mistakes they made and can't get through a damn sentence without laughing and it seriously makes me think they aren't playing with a full deck and sound like they have special needs.
Good sense of humor my a#@, you're an adult, ACT like it!
Laughter is good. Lightens the mood, relieves stress, etc.
Someone doesn't need to be a stand up comedian, and there is a line, but I want to be around people I can laugh with and have fun.

I am prone to a nervous laugh and it irritates the heck out of me, but I can't seem to control it. It doesn't happen a lot, but there was one time I went into hysterical laughter when I was deeply distressed. It is a defense mechanism or a means of coping with anxiety and stress. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...1/why-we-laugh
humor is a social skill... knowing how to make someone laugh means you know how to read cues from them
would you put on a dating site that you want someone with poor social skills?
