We tend to like meeting new people, but we especially like meeting funny new people. And connecting with someone else's sense of humor can provide even more benefits. A 2015 study published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology found that the more often a man makes a woman laugh, the more likely she'll develop an interest in dating. The reason? "Humor is a good sign of a good brain or intelligence," the authors say. Laughter also offers a whole host of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, reducing stress hormones, triggering endorphins, and boosting the immune system.
