(and I probably can't even spell it)
What a fun word to say. Dyspraxia. Along with Dyslexia, disgraphia and discalcula. fun fun fun.
I'm not disabled! Unless being blonde counts. I just don't get things sometimes!
My friends sometimes call me Jillian 'cause they think I'm like the dumb girl from Family Guy.

I'm borderline dyslexic. I'm a right-brained person and could only write backwards for a long time.
Quote: Nogget @ October 14 2009, 7:31 PM BSTWhy do so many women want a man with a sense of humour, and/or one who will make them laugh?
Well, why wouldn't they? I wouldn't want to go out with a dull, humourless girl, what would be the point?

I'm the last person who would say that being blonde is a disability, unless you count skin cancer. 
I'm dyslexic and it was only picked up as an adult. My schools really did suck....

Because you'd feel interesting and funny?

I don't need anyone else to make me feel that, I know I'm totally ace.
And humble to boot.

So I get the feeling that in answer to my OP, while in fact both men and women want to laugh, men can feel threatened by a funny woman. Hence it's only women who say they want someone to make them laugh.
Quote: EllieJP @ October 14 2009, 7:36 PM BSTNogget - you can probably ask most of these questions in the General General Thread rather than starting a new thread. Cheers!
OK- would there be an advantage to doing that then?
And back on topic:
It is ironic that people put GSOH in personal adverts, because in my experience, every single miserable, moody, pissed off, sulky little twat (both men and women) are always in a relationship.
Nothing's worse then meeting a couple where one partner is bubbly, lovely, funny, etc. and their partner is a f**king bag of gloomy immature shite.
Okay, there is one thing worse then that and it's when you fancy a girl who goes out with a strop throwing, angry baby man. Especially if she's really funny and you both get on like a house on fire. In your mind, you're thinking 'leave him, become my soulmate and let's go on adventures' but you know it will never happen, so you just drink loads and end up bedding some ugly, passionless tart who won't leave your flat for the whole weekend despite you dropping a thousand hints.
Or so I've read.

You sex up a load of men, and suddenly your 'gay', I dunno.

Interesting question.
If, as Nogget says, women want a man who makes them laugh, what do men want from a women / partner?
Someone who laughs at all their jokes?

Often, yes.

It's not just women. The amount of times I have been passed over by a sweet, kind, and caring guy for some hooker type called "Debra" whose breasts can be recognised in a line up by half the town and has all the charm of Norman Bates, I could make a living as a hat stand, I am that noticeable! Nice girls get ignored just as much as nice guys!
