The lead researcher of the study analyzing which jokes men and women prefer, Professor Robin Dunbar of the University of Oxford, suggests that the differences found in men and women’s humor preferences come from the “remarkable differences in social style of the two sexes.”
“This explanation has previously been overlooked because psychologists and others have concentrated on IQ-type differences, which are minimal,” Dunbar shared in a statement.
At the end of the day, funny is funny. And many factors contribute to whether or not we’ll enjoy a joke, including our upbringing, if we understand the context of the joke, what kind of mood we’re in at the moment and who said the joke to us. I’m sorry, but if you’re under the age of 8 or over the age of 80, you’re just naturally much more funny to me. And nowadays, I think plenty of “men’s humor” can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone!
