humor me

Over and over, we hear how important a sense of humor is in a romantic relationship. In fact, many people argue good jokes can actually increase someone's physical attractiveness.

Overdose on humor, however, and nobody will be laughing.

Case in point: This woman's insistence that you should never date a comedian, a lesson she learned firsthand.

It's great to be around someone who can brighten your spirits, but when you get one of those people who wants to be funny ALL THE TIME, things get draining. Also, there's a good chance someone too obsessed with humor is also obsessed with being the center of attention, and will end up telling jokes at your expense. Publicly.

In relationships, what's better: A partner who's too serious, or too funny?
