Women Prefer Funny Fictional Men

Women love a guy with a sense of humor. Or they love to say they do.

A new study proves just that:

Bressler and his colleagues asked nearly 130 students to imagine two people of the opposite sex. One fictional character was funny; the other appreciated another person's humour. The team then asked each student which they would choose for a relationship.

Women generally preferred men who were funny, while men favoured a woman who thought he was funny...

I don't know what this proves. Other things women might choose over someone who thought they were funny? Rich guys over people who like rich gals? Handsome guys over guys who like pretty gals?
