How Some Men Are Hilariously Raising The Bar For Relationship Standards (50+ Pics!)

Good relationships are like a skillfully crafted recipe. They take commitment, time, learning, compromise, and a lot of effort.

Of course, the recipe varies depending on the type of relationship you’re cooking up. Some folks like theirs on the sweeter side, while others prefer more savory or even just outright spicier.

Universally, I think all would agree that one of the best ingredients you can add to a relationship is humor. Laughing and making someone laugh just feels GOOD.

And of course, laughing or making someone laugh feels good! Laughing has been scientifically proven to help relieve stress and can overall improve your health.

Not to mention, a sense of humor is a very attractive attribute. Evolutionary psychologist Gil Greengross, Ph.D., writes that there is abundant cross-cultural evidence showing that being funny makes you a more desirable mate, especially if you’re a male.

"For dating couples, the use of positive humor (for example, using humor to cheer up your date) can positively contribute to relationship satisfaction," Greengross wrote in Psychology Today. "The use of aggressive humor, on the other hand (teasing and making fun of your partner), has the opposite effect. These feelings can fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, depending on each partner’s use of humor."

So it’s pretty safe to say that relationships that have a hefty dose of humor are likely built for the long run. And in the age of the internet, we’re able to see real-life examples at our whim.

That’s where we come in. We’ve collected a list of jokes, clever puns, wholesome pranks, and overall silliness that men in relationships have charmed their partners with.

These men have definitely raised the bar for relationship goals. Keep scrolling to see these comical men in action.
