A society of British psychologists has established that women rate men who can make them laugh more intelligent than the average Joes.

Experts suggest that women through the course of history have looked for men who are intelligent and knowing how to read a situation and crack a joke at the right moment is a great achievement for a man.

The study was participated in by 45 heterosexual females between 18 and 30 years of age. They were asked to rate self descriptions of men which were designed to be funny and not so funny.

The proponents invented the lives of 10 men and the ladies were asked to rate them as per intelligence, honesty, and the potential of engaging in a long term relationship or friendship.

The humor of the life description compositions were based on a study which looked into the funniest elements that make 18 to 30 year old females laugh.

Women rated the funny men as most likely prime candidates for friendship and long term relationship. They were also ranked as the most intelligent and most honest.

In previous studies, women were revealed to look into the potential of a male with regard to acquiring resources. This put a good salary or a good stable job on top of the list.

The study correlates the evolutionary patterns that may require a funny mate for females. Women may want funny males so hardships during their life together can be balanced out. Experts also point out to happiness leading to better creativity, innovativeness (anything from being a better entrepreneur to being better at choosing lingerie, haha!), and better health.
