I don't really know how my sense of humor has affected my relationships. I would say that my friends and SO's all appreciate my sense of humor - and those that don't appreciate my sense of humor or don't get it probably just haven't stayed in my life for more than a few conversations.
Pranks and a mix of wordplay, satire, etc., with almost no straight jokes or attempts at big laughs. Someone has to at least know Forrest Gump to be amused by my earlier line.
I'm disappointed by most replies, but maybe reading between the lines that means humor doesn't directly affect things much, despite what many women claim to want. I can see strong involvement of personal sense of humor in watching some TV shows and movies and going to comedy shows, but that's about it. Also, a very limited sense of humor would be damaging, but nobody admits to being humorless.
What do you expect from me? I'm not a smart man but I know what humor is.

I'm not really understanding what kind of replies you are looking for nor do I understand why you think the replies have insinuated that humor is not important to women. I think most people want someone with a compatible sense of humor. My husband and I make each other laugh - all the time. We laugh everyday together. I LOVE making him laugh and I LOVE that he makes me laugh. I wouldn't be with him if this wasn't the case. Laughing with my husband is imperative to my happiness. But I don't see how this as my humor affecting my love life - I see this as finding someone who gets me.

You're disappointed that having a sense of humor doesn't correlate to how much sex someone gets? Women want a guy with a sense of humor that they can relate to. I can make entire rooms of men and women laugh, that doesn't mean that one or more of those women will be interested in me, they have to find other things about me attractive too. I don't know, or have met, a single woman who puts a sense of humor as her #1, there will always be more shallow traits or interests that will be much more important than how often you can make her laugh.

Key point of frustration: most people aren't indicating how, or if, they joke around with their partners or prospects or react when others try humor on them.

I don't understand. I'm trying - but I just don't understand. I don't "try humor" on people. We either think someone is funny or we don't. I think my friends are funny so when they say something funny, I laugh. They think I'm funny - so when I say something funny, they laugh. My husband and I crack each other up all the time. We share a sense of humor. We make each other laugh. Sometimes we can just look at each other and crack each other up. But being funny isn't something I "do" to people.

I agree. Humor is a natural thing that arises out of situations and conversations. If you are working on jokes or funny quips in isolation, you are doing it wrong.
Hang around funny people and you become better at this.
