Wit is intelligence wearing casual clothes.
It is humor with precision, lighter than sarcasm, more intentional than “funny,” and far more attractive than trying to impress.
Witty answers reveal:
- Mental agility
- Social awareness
- Subtle confidence
- Emotional intelligence
Both men and women interpret wit as a sign of someone who observes life deeply.
The Psychology of Wit on Hinge. Wit works because:
- It is attractive without trying
- It creates a spark of recognition
