　　A new study has found that making someone laugh is one of the best ways to woo(求婚)one’s lover. However, researchers have discovered that not all humour is equal. The quickest path to success is to use a very specific form of wit: Self-deprecation.

　　“Many studies show that a sense of humour is attractive to women, especially to their girlfriends, but we’ve found that self-deprecating humour is the most attractive of all. ” said anthropologist Gil Greengross.

　　One possible explanation is that taking the mickey out of oneself is a high-risk strategy.

　　“It is a risky form of humour because it can draw attention to one’s real faults, thereby diminishing(缩小)the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others. But based on the idea that self-deprecating humour can be an especially reliable indicator not only of general intelligence and creativity, but also of moral virtues such as humility. ”
