I agree. Having a sense of humor is important but..I don't think a girl would fall for a guy only because he has a sense of humor or ...a big -------------------> lol. I might be wrong on that one! Some girls will lol. But um...put it this way. Humor is not every apect of a relationship. There are gonna be serious times and then there are the fun times. What good would a sense of humor do if the topic being talked about is death? 
. HA! HA! LOL! Your brother died ...um. . Don't look at me when you get yo ass whooped. TRYING TO BE FUNNY! Sometimes a sense of humor can get you an asswhooping lol..So um my advice is don't try too hard. It's important to know when to use your sense of humor. Just remember to be yourself. If you can do that, that's all she wants from ya 
There are always other things that can make up for humor. 
It's fairly important, but having a good sense of humor doesn't mean you have to be Will Ferrell.
Just don't take yourself too seriously, and try to get a good sense of when you can crack a joke here and there, and you'll be fine.
I used to be big on self-depreciating humor, but really too much of it makes you come off as just as insecure as not cracking jokes at all. I think last night when I was hanging out with friends I cracked maybe one self-depreciating joke, and it was one where I didn't even put myself down that badly at all and the timing was right so that it seemed appropriate and not like I was putting myself down out of nowhere.
I think maybe shyness causes us to not risk any kind of humor, because you don't know what people might take too seriously. At least that's how I used to see it. But if you hang around people enough you can get a sense of what will be okay to joke about around them.

Recently I asked a female friend just why she thinks that all shy guys are boring and not worth the effort of a relationship. Her answer was pretty much that shy people in general have no sense of humor whatsoever. That may well be true with me so I ask what can a guy do to make up for a lack of humor? And why is being funny so damn important ?It's fairly important, but having a good sense of humor doesn't mean you have to be Will Ferrell.
