Why You Should Always Choose the Funny Guy

I'll take him over the nice guy any day.

Why You Should Always Choose the Funny Guy
NBC

I believe that laughter is the best medicine, and there have been scientific studies that have concluded the same. It’s especially good for mending a broken heart that seems to never stitch back together. Whether it be a best friend or a significant other, having someone who makes you laugh at just about everything is a key ingredient to life.

When you laugh, you release endorphins, otherwise known as “feel-good” brain chemicals. It releases built-up nerves and anxiety from school and work, and makes us feel a hell of a lot better than if we didn’t laugh. When we smile and our eyes are alive, we feel like nothing can bring us down.

You know the medicine’s working when your abs hurt from laughing too much, and you should always feel this good, every day. Someone who’s there to at least make you smile is someone worth keeping in your life, so why not have someone who can do more? Your girlfriends recount life decisions that you regret but find humorous, your parents send clips of your pets at home, or your teammates lift up your spirits with a game of bubble soccer ball. So why not go for the funny guy and actually live happily ever after? You’ve got humor from all angles at your fingertips when you have people like this in your life.

There’s a difference between people that are nice and friendly versus people who make you laugh—one type actually heals your soul over and over again. Would you rather be in a relationship with someone who you’ve known forever and treats you like a queen, or someone who makes your cheeks hurt from smiling and chuckling 24/7? It’s like The Princess Diaries where Anne Hathaway has to choose between her perfect royally approved Prince Charming and the daring comedic Chris Pine. Spoiler alert: She goes for the handsome funny guy.

Sure, the nice guy may respect you and your parents, and the old geezers recognize that. They love him because he goes to an Ivy League school, or that he has a job lined up in the computer engineering field right after he crosses the stage and receives his degree, or that he comes from a good family. They brush aside the thought of anyone less than that, no matter what his effect is on you. Ultimately, it’s your decision because if you end up with him, you’re the one who has to deal with him from the moment you say “I do”. Speaking of “I do”, would you rather be standing on the altar with a serious face, or would you rather be laughing (and possibly crying) at how he can’t say his vows without messing up? If he can’t make you laugh from the second you two are officially committed, then you’re missing out on a good time.

So what will you choose? Take your pick.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
