Just ask any woman – dating a guy that can make her laugh is far more important than being with someone because they look good. Women find the most simple characteristics in men attractive, if you are confident and can tell a funny joke of two, you’ll have much success in the land of love.

Women don’t normally need to be too concerned with having to pull off a smooth pick up line to meet a man or gain his attention. Holding his eyes for a few seconds with a cheeky grin, or accentuating their best physical asset is usually enough to send the intended message. But when it comes to a man making the moves, he has to work much harder.

As per usual, Hollywood and its celebrities have lead the way and have made it acceptable in the eyes of society for average looking men to be with spectacularly good looking women – so long as he continues to amuse and stimulate her mind. Our relationships guru, Diane Bishop tells us “women are very responsive to wit and charm, and if a guy goes out of his way to make a girl laugh in a self-assured manner, he will reap the rewards accordingly.”

So let’s discuss this. Let’s see what is not right with these conventionally appealing guys, and accordingly, let’s analyze these average looking yet likeable men. Some comments published in a leading London women’s magazine by single women set out to clarify that women do not find hot men appealing – said one young lady from St Albans: “there is a difference between eye candy and feeling attracted to a man with the feeling of wanting to get to know him on a personal level, many people mistake lust for real attraction.”

And it’s not always about being the life of the party, or feeling pressured into having to always come up with classic one liners. Combining humor, confidence and showing a woman plenty of attention to detail pretty much sums up the perfect package all rolled up into one very attractive man – just ask any girl!

Funny men are simply fun to be around. Funny guys have the potential to brighten up a girls day, they are usually confident and arousing and what’s more, men who possess such qualities are exceptional communicators – what more could a woman want!
