Sometimes, you think you’ve nailed the funniest joke ever, but the room stays silent. Or maybe just the guys or the ladies find it funny, while everyone else seems confused. It happens more often than you’d think!

Interestingly, research shows that men and women often have slightly different tastes and standards when it comes to humor. Whether it’s the type of joke or the delivery, our sense of humor can vary depending on perspective—and that’s totally normal!

Take the classic, “If a blonde comes to a petrol station…” This kind of joke often leans on stereotypes and tends to resonate more with certain audiences, particularly men. It’s not surprising that many women might find these jokes less amusing or even off-putting.

Humor like this, built on clichés or gendered stereotypes, often lands more in the realm of male-dominated humor. It highlights the differences in what men and women might find funny, shaped by social norms and personal perspectives.

Psychologist Dr. Silvana Weber, alongside Dr. Sven Kachel, conducted research exploring how humor is perceived across genders. Their findings suggest that women often perceive misogynistic jokes as threatening, particularly when such jokes are delivered by male speakers.

This response is not merely about disliking the joke itself; it reflects a deeper social dynamic. When a man tells a joke targeting women, it may reinforce power imbalances or highlight gender stereotypes, making women feel vulnerable or undermined.

Simply put, this means that the gender of the joke teller can influence the audience’s emotional response to the humor. For women, jokes that target their identity, especially from men, may feel more personal and less amusing.

Interestingly, this effect doesn’t occur with men, even when the tables are turned and a female speaker delivers male-deprecating humor. Men appear less affected emotionally by jokes targeting their gender, regardless of who tells them.

This difference hints at a deeper divide in how humor is processed and its social implications for each gender. For men, humor directed at their identity may feel less threatening or personal.

The study also found that women generally rated jokes as less funny compared to men. Moreover, women found female-deprecating jokes significantly less amusing than either male-deprecating or neutral jokes.

In contrast, men didn’t show much difference in their response to various types of jokes, suggesting they might approach humor with a broader tolerance or detachment.

But here’s the twist: men don’t just enjoy jokes more—they’re also seen as funnier! Research shows that, on average, men have a higher humor production ability compared to women.

Whether it’s a natural flair or societal expectations, men seem to dominate in the humor department. Their perceived funniness might contribute to their ability to connect socially or romantically.

Writing for Psychology Today, lead researcher Dr. Gil Greengross explored this dynamic, noting that the stereotype of women being less funny could discourage them from developing or showcasing their humor.

He argued that while societal forces may play a role in shaping these perceptions, there’s limited evidence that society actively suppresses women’s ability to produce humor. Instead, it might be more about how humor is nurtured and valued differently across genders.
