Apparently, men don't want funny women. But, the guys that can make their date laugh will score the girl.

"Humor is a trait often requested in lonely hearts ads and scientists have now shown that a good sense of humor is important for women, but not men, in choosing a romantic partner. In fact, a woman is even willing to overlook other shortcomings in a man if he can make her laugh, North American researchers say in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.'

How did they figure it out? Researchers 'showed groups of women pictures of two equally attractive men and presented autobiographical statements that were either funny or serious. After reversing the experiment and showing groups of men photographs of two women, they asked both sexes to select who they would choose as a romantic partner.

PS: Funny men were preferred even if their humor was unsophisticated, the researchers add.' Apparently fart jokes are hot these days. Let 'em rip.
