Women aren't funny

This is one of those statements that you might have never thought in sentence form but are nonetheless not surprised by in the least: women aren't funny. The gift of wit, of a quick tongue, the ability to compose the 'epitaph on a feeling ', to borrow a definition from Nietzsche is absent in the testicle-less members of our species.

I think part of this may have to do with a woman's initial reaction to a situation or a feeling; the tendency is towards internalization rather than immediate evocation. It has been said that women tend to 'stew' on things more than men do, and so it is true. Internalization is the enemy of wit and charm, a fact that is proven by the three words that will reduce any woman to tears: "you are fat". They may not flow immediately, but don't kid yourself, at some point in the quite of night a pillow will pull double duty as a sponge as the recipient of the statement (true or not) runs them through the hamster wheel in her head.

All I do in life is observe people and identify what makes them tick; what causes them to respond to different stimuli, and why. I've have noticed, categorically, that the more attractive a woman is the less wit she possesses. This statement does not work in the inverse however. Why should it be any different? Attractive women get to establish their own goal posts in life, there will be an endless supply of men willing to try and meet them. I kid you not, the man who eventually succeeds will do so not based his looks alone, but because he could make her laugh. No man was ever attracted to a woman because she was funny but there is not a woman alive who doesn't find humor attractive. 'Wit' is a tool the male of the species developed to compete for the more attractive, more fertile womb.

Think I'm wrong? Don't go looking for female comedians, all of whom more of less just copy men's acts or rely on simple vulgarity, think back to your childhood days. Think of all the class clowns, the kids who made everyone laugh on the playground, the kids who always had a quick response or insult loaded for any situation. All boys? Of course. The ability is found early, and often.
