The key is a blend of both.
A guy who is funny all the time loses his charm.
She comes to think that you are funny all the time to cover up certain insecurities about your intellect that you don’t want to come to light.
When you are serious all the time and incapable of lightening up, she thinks that you are covering up a fear of looking vulnerable.
The two extremes make it more tricky to date a girl successfully.
Even though you are known as a funny guy, you shouldn’t use this as an excuse to use humor as an excuse for everything.
She asks your opinion on something that matters to her, and you use humor to cover the fact that you don’t think you have a helpful and intellectual opinion about it.
It’s alright to admit you don’t know much about a topic.
You can make up for your lack of knowledge about it by telling her that you will do some research on it and get back to her.
That is a much more mature way to go about handling the situation as opposed to reverting back to your comfort zone by using humor or being funny.
A girl would totally respect this approach to such a situation and give you credit for your honesty and willingness to follow up with her on a later date after gathering the information.
Using humor in these instances where she requires valid assistance from you will only irritate and annoy her.
The same applies to moments where she would much prefer you lighten up and have fun.
When she sends you a funny meme and you are incapable of seeing the humor in it because you are always so serious, this can be just as irritating and annoying.
Instead of responding with a funny quip or take on the meme, you send a question mark or a drab phrase criticizing the meme.
All of this kills the mood when all she was intending was to make you laugh and initiate some lighthearted and fun banter with you.
Without a capacity to laugh and enjoy a moment in which she has sent or shared a meme or comedy skit with you, you give her the impression that you are forever in the same gear.
That of being serious all the time.
A girl would rather date a guy who has a blend of funny and serious in his personality.
Without it, there is little dynamism, and she is prone to getting bored with the same old, same old.
That said, if she had to absolutely pick one or the other, it would be someone who matches more of her own personality.
If you are a funny guy who believes you are incapable of being serious at the right moments, you are better off seeking out a girl who is also funny to date.
A funny girl can appreciate a funny guy, given that you share a commonality in how you think.
The similarity in personalities creates a level of ease with each other, facilitating a connection.
Just the same, if you are a serious guy who doesn’t have a funny bone in his body, you would be better off dating a girl who has a similar personality type.
A serious girl knows what to expect from a serious guy, given that they think alike.
This creates a level of understanding between them.
All things considered, a blend of the two personality types is the perfect recipe for most girls.
It inserts dynamism into dating, which makes for a more rewarding experience.
