The potentially most important, overlooked, ingredient for dating success:
Bottom Line: There are many attributes we look for when seeking to find that special someone. Compatibility isn't always as easy as a picture and a paragraph right? That was purposeful because e Harmony was actually behind this research that demonstrated that where their (and like dating services) were least effectual in finding a match - was with regard to humor.
Many people will offer up that "they have a good sense of humor" but what does that really mean? Humor is subjective and as e Harmony pointed out there are many types:
- Physical
- Self-deprecating
- Surreal
- Improvisation
- Wit
- Topical
- Observational
- Dark/Taboo
Successful relationships often have a compatible dynamic with regard to humor. That's why this could well be the most over-looked but important dynamic that's not well represented when search dating sites. If you're mindful of this when dating - especially online - you're likely to have more success.
