Sorry, ladies.
Men are funnier than women.
Okay, okay. It’s not by much and mostly to other men. But, we’ll take any advantage we can get, even if the measure is small.
“The differences we find between men’s and women’s ability to be funny are so small that they can’t account for the strength of the belief in the stereotype,” says Laura Mickes, a postdoctoral researcher in the UC San Diego Department of Psychology who is the studies principal author.
Co-researcher Nicholas Christenfeld discovered that in their tests, male ability at the task of being funny on command was “just at the edge of detectability,” and men scored better with other men than with women.
Christenfeld thinks it could be that men see more opportunities to take a chance at humor and that men try harder or more often to be funny. Thus our culture has more male professional comedians than women.

I have been through a betrayal that I thought would break me. It didn't. It made me stronger and more resolute. I am a wiser and a better person in the end.
