Humor

I was talking to someone about Hugh Grant and how he is self-depricating and charming and that it would really be fun to have a beer with him - but that's about all. His sense of humor strongly appeals to my sense of humor which tends to lean towards sarcastic/self - depricating humor. However, most of the time it doesn't really carry accross. I think one of the reasons it doesn't translate is that i'm a girl (or i'm not at all funny). It takes a really confident woman to be self-depricating without looking like she is pitying herself. It seems to me that men, in general, tend to have a better sense of humor than women, and the self-depricating thing is easier to carry off. I think it something to do with how we raise girls vs. boys in our society. It's more expected of the boys to be more adventurous and louder and say anything that comes into their minds, girls get censored more. I also tend to think that is why i like spending time with men more than women. However, my closest female friends have a really terrific sense of humor and taste for asdventure. Maybe that's why most women tend to site a sense of humor as one of the most important qualities in the opposite sex. (I know this post is random and written poorly - but that's all i could get out this afternoon.)
