Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Much has been written about the battle between the sexes. More than a hundred years ago, a German neurologist published a book noting that women’s brains are smaller than men’s. Paul Julius Möbius then came to the confident conclusion that this makes women “physiologically weak-minded.” Yes. He said it.
Thankfully, research has moved with the times. A string of more modern studies have found that there’s really no difference in the average intelligence between guys and girls. But other research has found that there are some differences when it comes to men and women, and what they find funny. If you consider yourself someone with a man’s sense of humor, we’ve found the perfect place for you to get your fix of funny.

The class clown is more likely to be male. That’s according to research led by a guy called Robert Provine. He observed 1,200 situations over a one year period. Provine and his assistants wanted to find out what role gender played in humor, jokes and laughter. “In conversations between men and women, females laughed 126 percent more than their male counterparts,” reported Psychology Today, adding that “females do the most laughing while males do the most laugh-getting.”
They also found that when men are with other men, they laugh only about half as often as women do when they’re with their girlfriends. And that women didn’t really care who they were with. They laughed more regardless. But, women prefer to do the laughing, and not the joking.
