The "Hitler reacts" series on youtube is a never-ending source of amusement for me.
Even Germans find it funny so you know it must be hilarious!

You seem to be taking the answers to your general question very personally.

No one in this thread, or on this entire forum, and certainly not the person you quoted, has a "smile on their face all the time". The person didn't say that, but that's what you chose to see. That's strange.

A man who "hasn't laughed in years" is seriously odd..totally abnormal. No woman wants to date a man like that. None. 0%.

The only thing you can look forward to is some sad sack insecure woman version of yourself that might settle for a man like that out of desperation.

WOW! Smh.

Didn't you get the memo? We're supposed to put our arms around the OP and tell him how wonderful and misunderstood he is.

Interestingly enough, what men and women consider to be a good sense of humor is vastly different. It's not so much the difference between, say, The Three Stooges and a romantic comedy, as personal interaction. I've read in several places that it goes something like this:

Her: He makes me laugh. What a great sense of humor!

Him: She laughs at my jokes. What a great sense of humor!

No. A sense of humor is part of a good, well-rounded personality. It's a requirement for me. However - if a person's sense of humor is mean, that is an immediate turn-off.

If I fart and she bolts it's not meant to be. If I fart and she laughs it's meant to be.

Being that Life is one huge cosmic joke, no.

...I find that hard to believe. If you are truthful in what you say and not exaggerating, then you are a very, VERY rare breed. I mean, even people like war-tested military generals and hardcore thugs in gangs tend to laugh and have a little fun every now and then. I've met a few stone-faced people who are usually serious and even they loosen up a bit on a sporadic basis.

One of the key factors in a person forming emotional bonds with others is he or she being able to smile and laugh together about stuff. There are plenty of times to get serious, but people who don't lighten up sometimes are no fun to be around. Plus, humor can be great medication for a bad day.

I'm not the type that laughs at every little thing, but I'm trying to remember the last time I went through an entire day without smiling or chuckling at least once and I'm drawing a blank. Even on bad or stressful days there's at least something that briefly amuses me...even if it's something stupid.

To answer your question OP, the answer is no.

I'm known as a very funny guy, so humor is a bonding thing for me. If I find someone who laughs at the same warped, twisted, outrageous, sick kinds of things I laugh at, we instantly bond.

But I think humor is also a function of your level of intelligence and your type of intelligence.

One question: How do you judge sense of humor? If you think you have no sense of humor because you don't laugh at anything on TV or in the movies, I don't necessarily think that means you have no sense of humor. Very little of that stuff can get a laugh out of me. Most of it is politically correct crap.

One comment? Could it be that you do have a sense of humor but you're maye wound a little tight so you don't let that side come out?
