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. Instagram page Relatable posts for men has more than 626 thousand followers. Keep scrolling for our personal favorite posts, and don’t forget to upvote yours.

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.

This will keep him out of some half-baked romance, the kind that goes against the grain. Probably save him some dough, too. You may think this is kinda crusty of him, but he's no crumb. He can sit by the warmth of the oven and read a good book, like "Catcher in the Rye".
Several other studies have shown that women prefer men with a great sense of humor. Apparently they find funny men clever. As Psych Central reported, "Evolutionary psychologists have theorized that a sense of humor is a sign of intellect and strong genes and that women, the more selective sex due to the burdens associated with pregnancy, are attracted to funny men because of the genetic benefit that could be bestowed upon potential offspring.”

I don't know he could have run off in any direction, were the owners supposed to die looking for him?

That's Odin. He is famous in California. He was a Great Pyrenes - a livestock guardian dog. His owners were trying to evacuate their goat herd due to an approaching fire, but the animals did not fit in their vehicle and the owners had to flee ASAP for their own safety. Odin REFUSED to leave his herd behind - his owners tried to get him to go with them, but he would not leave his "job" of guarding the herd. After the fire, the owners returned to their property, where they found Odin, still alive, guarding the goats. All of the goats. Not a single goat died. In fact, there were even a few deer hanging out with the goats and Odin. Odin lived a good life after that and finally died of old age.

I can understand they ran, we react differently. I tried a Darwin award, when house was on fire I stayed and ran around with a bag, collecting mama cat and 7 kittens that has spread all over the place in panic. We all survived though. I got them out, forgot wallet and everything else.

Sorry but the comment below is stupid: the owners were most likely ordered to leave by the police. I live in a high fire risk area and they do like this, otherwise many more people would die trying to protect their homes. I too wouldn't want to leave without my animals, i'd be despaired to, but if I'm forced, what can I do?

In fact, the short description is a bit misleading. That's Odin. He is famous in California. He was a Great Pyrenes - a livestock guardian dog. His owners didn't purposefully leave him behind. His owners were trying to evacuate their goat herd due to an approaching fire (the Tubbs Fire), but the animals could not fit in their vehicle and the owners had to flee ASAP for their own safety. Odin REFUSED to leave his herd behind - his owners tried to get him to go with them, but he would not leave his "job" of guarding the herd. After the fire, the owners returned to their property, where they found Odin, still alive, guarding the goats. All of the goats. Not a single goat died.

We lost a lot on this fire. Today still the most traumatizing disaster I’ve been through, including Loma Prieta, Northridge, Iki, and most recently the 2018 eruption & lava flows in my district. Everyone in Sonoma county knows this hero of a dog

Hugs, my friend. I'm fortunate - I live in Huntington Beach/Orange County, so we're rarely directly affected by the Cali wildfires in my area, but I always donate to legit aid/volunteer groups when they happen.

Be aware that this fire happened very fast. One man left for work and was not able to get back in to save his disabled wife. Until Cali (in this case above) changes it so people won’t live in these areas, fires wil happen. Read up on the location of this burn and how wind and the internal climate of the fire compounded it. This was the 2018 Camp Fire. We just had a fire in a small town near the Clearwater, my farrier is a firefighter and his recounting of the work entailed is amazing. He no longer travels down to the big Cali/Or fires, but the work is murderously hard.

I wouldn't have left without him, even if it meant I died. The guilt of leaving him behind would have eventually killed me anyway.
Paul Osincup is a humor strategist and the author of “The Humor Habit”. He helps companies boost positivity and productivity by injecting some funny into their work culture. Osincup told Ask Men that being funny both puts your date at ease and pulls them in. “Not only that, but laughter also boosts the hormone responsible for human connection — oxytocin,” said Osincup.

I got my Shark Side of the Moon t-shirt from an aquarium on the Oregon Coast. People always comment about it.
It’s a statement backed up by other experts. Like Mark Verber, a professional counselor at EPIC Counseling Solutions. “Whether it’s the first-date jitters or talking about retirement plans 40 years later, laughter helps to lighten the mood,” he told Ask Men. He added that when he asks his clients what initially attracted them to each other, most say a great sense of humor.

Back then, things were made to last. Now they're made to break just after the warranty date 😫
What’s considered funny differs between men and women. Same applies when they’re being funny. Ladies like a more storytelling approach, and sharing hilarious things that happened. Guys prefer one-liners and often engage in slapstick. Think “dad jokes”. Professor of psychology at the University of Zurich, Willibald Ruch, has invested a huge amount of time in investigating the subject. He scrutinized research about humor and gender differences done between 1977 and 2018. And here’s what he found…

My sister trew a party for her partner's 50th birthday.. the theme was "USA" ..they like tò travel and USA Is their favorite destination... We made hot dogs.. nachos with chili and cheddar..jell-o shots and carrot cake!! Guest were dressed as USA flag... As american tourist in Europe , as american farmer.. but the best One was a family of Friends dressed as an hamish family.. it was a fantastic party!!!!
Men and women understand the same jokes but don’t appreciate them in the same way, “Differences primarily exist in the production of aggressive humor, such as cynicism and sarcasm, and to a lesser extent in the context-free creation of jokes and punchlines,” wrote Horizons Mag when reporting on Ruch’s findings.
While being funny might work in your favor as a man, the opposite can apply to women. According to studies, women who cracked a joke during business presentations were considered less competent than those who kept it serious when addressing colleagues.

Let's not demonize the guy. Everyone needs a break once in a while, doesn't mean we need therapy
As the Harvard Business Review notes, “Humor expressed by males is likely to be interpreted as more functional and less disruptive compared with humor expressed by females.” It goes on to say that funny guys get a higher status than men with a dull sense of humor. Funny females are taken less seriously than those who keep a straight face at work.

My kid jumped into the jungle of Fortnite when he was 6. He made some pretty good friends in-game, but also dealt with the toxicity that comes with being so young & not knowing how to play well. One kid in particular helped him day in/out. They became fast friends. Only, the kid’s folks were going thru a horrible divorce & custody battle. 18 months of playing together every day & he just disappeared. We knew he played on Switch & his username was a combo of his name, his dad’s birthdate & his area code (2500mi away). His profile was gone, but we searched for another year. No luck. It was a real loss for my son & he grieved. He missed his buddy so much. Then, I got my son a PS5 and later a PC. I secretly started searching again & found him on Steam. They reconnected & the kid is now in a stable & calm home with his dad. Both have moved on from Fortnite. We’ve been able to arrange two IRL visits & they still game together almost daily. They text & FaceTime now more than they play.

One time my boyfriend started a fight with a boss in a game and then wandered into the kitchen to turn off something he had on the stove. He says to me "Fight the Colossus for me!" We both play the game (First Descendant), so I wasn't expecting any issues. Then I realized my boyfriend has the most UNHINGED keyboard and mouse-button bindings. NOTHING is bound to what it is normally bound to. I remember yelling "WHY IS YOUR GRAPPLING HOOK BOUND TO YOUR RIGHT-MOUSE BUTTON?!" as his character grappled across the screen after I'd pressed the button - right-click is usually "aim". XD Luckily the boss wasn't a difficult one and I was able to defeat it even with his unhinged keybinds.

I once dreamed that I was on top of the Big Ben tower, riding a giant zombie chicken as giraffes were raining from the sky. Then, the orcs came, ate Italian Panna Cotta on a road shop and then went on to invade Hogwarts in order to move it to an archipelago in India and plant rose bushes all around it. Weirdest dream ever, I even wrote the whole story down somewhere and drew the chicken ...

Yeah, the people who like this post also like their screwdriver handles pink or blue. No need to genderize - just call it 'relatable stuff' or 'peeps being peeps'. And no, I didn't bother reading the in-between text, because that would have been even more genderized, and therefore irritating. Note - I grew up with brothers and a mom who didn't believe in stereotyping, so this division of the sexes stuff is alien to me.
