15 Funny First Message Examples for Online Dating

Everyone like people with a sense of humor, so if you are looking to score via online dating sites and apps be sure to check out our list of funny first message examples for online dating.

People often think that humor is a sign of intelligence. Well, unfortunately for all of you funny guys and girls, the studies didn’t find humor to be an indicator of someone’s intelligence. They did, however, found that being funny does play a big part in being successful in the dating world. I may have mentioned the study on humor and attractiveness from the University of Kansas in some other dating articles, but it doesn’t hurt to repeat. Basically, the researchers put 51 pairs of students, who didn’t know each other, in a room and left them to talk for 10 minutes. Afterward, students filled a survey. The survey has shown that the more men tried to be funnier and cracked jokes and the women laughed at those jokes, the better chance was that the woman had romantic interests in a man. If they laughed together, they were more likely to be attracted to each other. Unfortunately for all of you ladies, when a woman tried to make jokes, the results were not the same.

When a girl is funny, that is just a big bonus. But when a guy is funny, that can be a difference maker between the failure and success. Remember that guy from school/college/work, who was always cracking jokes, entertaining the whole company and made the girls giggle with his sometimes rude and naughty jokes? Although he wasn’t the most attractive guy, he always somehow managed to score with a beautiful girl. We all had a friend like that at some point in our lives. When girls talk about the qualities a guy must have in order for them to be interested, the sense of humor is always at the top. And trust me, they don’t lie. Being funny is like an aphrodisiac sometimes. Yes, even the dark humor sometimes works, but you have to find a person who is just as crazy as you for that to work. In case you think that being funny is too hard, check out these Best Opening Lines for Online Dating Messages.
