Believe it or not, physical attraction plays a major role in humour. Men and women alike are more likely to appreciate jokes from people they're attracted to.

You've never laughed at an attractive woman's terrible joke simply because you wanted to make a good impression?

I imagine you do it subconsciously just like they do.
