I quickly noticed nearly 20 mistakes in your very short post. Perhaps your awkwardness with the English language inhibits your ability to communicate in all ways, not merely your attempts to communicate humor. Also, as Wmsn4Life pointed out, people have very different senses of humor. I nearly fall off the sofa laughing at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but show me a movie like Caddy Shack or American Pie and I rarely laugh. Yet the money those movies have made proves the public at large finds them hilarious. Just as everyone doesn't like the same kind of music, humor is also not universal.

I am not the only one wondering this, as people noted before too, people are old fashioned not in sync with younger generation even people in 20s, depends where you grow up. i merely focusing on person in 20s who don't get jokes,sarcasm, are just dull,like they lived a sheltered life, dont get out much, or they seem to be loners maybe they have Aspergers

I not sure why the constant arguing to knock women done a peg, well not true, I get it, gotta find somewhere that women can't compete. I can reach way back some decades and bring up Moms Mabley. That old woman was a hoot.

woe is me, women are such victims always no matter what...the fact is Women are better than Men in general at tons of things, and Men are better than Women at other things, like humor.

I honestly believe that study before that Men have been forced to be funny over the years due to trying to find a mate. Its evolution baby.

And I totally agree that Men are looking for a Women who thinks there humor is funny and can add there 10 cents to it. I personally can throw at 1-10 pretty damn good, and I usually like women who genuinely get most of my jokes. Not fake laugh, but really get it.

I'm not blaming women for anything. Men in general are just funnier than them. Its okay. Women are better at other things. So I must be sexist.
