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

I voted "NO" based on the qualifier you listed in CAPS - "SIGNIFICANT". Very few women are actually "funny". Heck, I can only really think of three female comediannes that are funny (Old Roseanne, Lisa Lampinelli, and Kristen Wiig). What IS important is that she be FUN. Big difference between being "funny" and being "fun" to be with.
Ya. My girlfriend is the funniest girl I know. Girls (VERY high majority) in general just have a garbage sense of what's funny; they just don't "get" things like guys. Spare the refuting comments; not listening - it's a fact
refer to my post above. didn't even see this post. I rep you OVER 9000 for this comment alone!!!
(see? i'm not alone. people notice..)
edit: just noticed THIS one too

Definitely. For me it is as fascinating as a friendly smile is to women. It suggests that a woman can laugh at herself, doesnt take her self so seriously and is free is hang-ups, issues. Especially anti-male ones.
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.
Have you actually considered acting on all these wonderful thoughts and ideas you have about women instead of bombarding us with numerous threads/polls everyday? Jesus.
Yes, ethnic/religious/off-color humor that is "within bounds," and sarcastic humor, as well, is welcomed and mine must be tolerated, or it ain't getting off the ground.
Thinking back on all the women I have dated, I cant really name a single one who had a "great sense of humor". Mrs.Lao has a very similar sense of humor as myself which is inappropriate and borderline mean humor, and there has been many times where I had to shush her for fear of getting both of us in trouble with her comments, even though I was LMAO at her. Every women I ever dated WAS fun though. Fun as in positive, bubbly attitudes, always up for adventure, willingness to do fun things. Not just cracking jokes type of sense of humor.

I don't really equate having a good sense of humor as being the same thing as being a stand up comic. I make people around me laugh. I'm not doing a stand up routine or cracking jokes - I just find humor in life. I tell stories in a funny way. I'm a silly person. My husband and I laugh together all the time - and it's not because we are trying to get laughs or telling one liners or anything. We just like to goof around a lot. And many times he's actually laughing AT me - but since I can laugh at myself, too - it usually just makes me laugh as well.

Have a nice sense of humor is a good thing, but it has never been a "SIGNIFICANT FACTOR" (as the OP puts it) in me dating her. My wife is not and never will be the life of the party. Many people who dont know her, get an initial impression of her as being kinda bit*hy, but I enjoy her company so much and we laugh at the same things and have similar interests.
So to the OP, for me, I can say a sense of humor is a MINOR thing, not a significant thing.
