I'm hoping for more details than most of the replies I have given.
For example, I think my sense of humor has hurt me, because women with much sensitivity have reacted badly to jokes about them or politically incorrect jokes. (Men, on a non-romantic level, have never seemed to mind.) Although it's better to fast weed out those who get scary angry at people over little things.

Well then you may not be funny. You may think you are funny but if you are the only one laughing you are not funny. Instead of the, "it's their problem not mine approach," try the, "maybe I'm doing something wrong," approach to humor and to life in general.
I don't think my sense of humor has negatively impacted my love life. I do not do sarcasm against my partner EVER. I can laugh at myself quite easily though.
I can make people laugh hysterically, have made entire rooms cry with laughter,does nothing to my non-existent love life except make some people laugh one more time that day.

"Life is like a bag of lemons - full of suck." I made that up this past hour. Evidence that my sense of humor is solid (better than that movie, by the way). It's not charming, though. I'm sort of a self-styled provocateur. I look back at the humor backfires and the reactions were worse than what I did - and I do need to be with someone who is not politically correct. I do not consider my sense of humor to be the success/failure switch in my romantic outcomes.

Here is how you can tell you are funny: When in conversation, people smile and crack up at something you say or a story you are telling, then they shoot back a funny response that shows they are in the same mindset, and soon you are all laughing at the same idea or scenario.
"Telling jokes" is usually the wrong approach. I get embarrassed when people start telling jokes, because unless the person is a gifted raconteur, they usually fall flat. Humor has to be contextual to be truly enjoyable.
