A mistake many men make on Hinge is believing women want a comedian.
They don’t.
Women want a man who can:
- read the room
- laugh at himself

- show maturity without losing charm
Women interpret a man’s humor as an extension of his emotional intelligence.
This is why your humor must feel calm, grounded, quietly confident.
- Not loud.
- Not chaotic.

Humor is attractive when it signals stability.
