Researchers in the United States and Norway are working together to figure out what forms of flirtation are most effective and why.
The results of the international collaboration are only based on questionnaires, not experiments, which means we have to assume participants are being honest and self-aware about what they find attractive.
That said, among 415 men and women in Norway and 577 in the US, there was one way of flirting that stood out among heterosexual relationships.
Whether looking for a fling or a long-term romance, humor was generally deemed the most effective strategy.
For both genders, laughing at someone else's jokes was considered advantageous. But cracking jokes was perceived to be the most useful strategy for men, especially those looking for long-term relationships.
Well, it certainly is one good way to connect with potential partners . But is it the single, most effective way? I suspect that'll depend heavily on culture - and also the individual personalities of the people you're trying to date.
(Heck, even senses of humour vary wildly between different cultures, and different people in the same culture - so, even if this finding is true, I'm not sure how useful it is !)
