Online dating may open the door to hundreds of potential partners, but it’s also a competitive arena. Hundreds of other guys are also competing for the attention of girls. 

Numerous studies indicate that a sense of humour is a high-ranking priority for girls. The more you can make a girl laugh, the more likely she is to sleep with you. Less so the other way round. Looks are more important for guys.

A good sense of humour can get you a long way with a romantic partner. Research shows that being able to make a girl laugh is a good indicator she is romantically interested you. 

As a matter of fact, humour is a key factor in forging a long-lasting relationship. It indicates you have an agreeable and sociable personality, helps people decide whether you are good fun and develops neural pathways that enable you to establish a deeper relationship. 

Researchers investigating how humour enhances courtship discovered how making people laugh is regarded as a strong personality trait. Not only is humour a hit with the girls but also elevates your social life and career path.

The Immigration Game 

Participants in various studies revealed they quickly decide on the suitability of potential partners if the candidate appears to be humorous. A sharp with is a good indicator of intelligence, divergent thinking and creativity. 

However, some researchers think connecting humour with intelligence is a generalisation. 

Professor Jeffrey Hall from the University of Kansas says comparing humour with a sign of intelligence does Not “give humour its due credit…Finding someone who appreciates your sense of humour is valuable in its own right.”

And in the online dating game, finding someone with a compatible sense of humour is where things can go awry – especially when you’re meeting people from different cultural and social backgrounds. 

A study performed by Chinese immigrants at the University of British Columbia in Canada concluded that singles looking for love on online dating websites yielded a higher response rate by writing something witty on your profile. 

People looking for a potential partner online value a sense of humour highly. Other research has shown that male singles that demonstrate they are blessed with wit and charm receive more replies from girls.

Crafting Funny Online Dating Profiles 

Being funny is good. After all, laughter is the best me

dicine so they say. Empirical evidence also suggests women are more likely to be interested in men that make them laugh. 

However, when it comes to crafting an online dating profile, sex psychologists warn against being too funny. If you drop a joke and depreciating remarks into every other sentence it can make you appear childish – which is irritating. 

The right balance is to be funny and easygoing. Lead with a funny remark, but also describe yourself honestly and realistically. A smattering of witty remarks gives people something to work with for their first message. 

Whether you’re looking for a sex hook-up or a long-term relationship, a good sense of humour will help laugh girls into bed. Why not test your wit with the girls on Shagbook.

Working from home, homeschooling and looming financial burdens weighed on numerous relationships. Restrictions in the movement have impacted long-distant romances, new relationships and marriages. 

For couples in a relationship which was already fraught with tension, the cracks on the surface opened up to reveal the underlying problems. 

As countries gradually emerge from quarantine and ease into the ‘new normal’, reports suggest a spike in the number of married couples filing for divorce.

The fallout from the pandemic is a higher number of singles or separated people looking for a new romantic adventure. It’s almost certain that people will ramp up their efforts to find comfort in a relationship before the next lockdown. 

Whether you’re looking for excitement, a one-night-only sex hookup or a serious long-term relationship, online dating websites open doorways to a world of love, sex and excitement. 

The Need For Intimacy 

Humans have an innate need for intimacy. Sharing close moments, both verbally and physically, increases health and happiness. Without intimacy, you deny basic emotional needs and are more likely to feel depressed and mentally unstable. 

Singles may already be wondering how coronavirus will impact their need for physical intimacy. Touch and physical contact by a trusted person has a positive impact on your mental and physical health. 

Experts are well aware of the human need for emotional intimacy. The Dutch government even advised their singletons to find a sex buddy to help protect mental health. 

As a matter of fact, studies show that regular sex is good for mental and physical health. When you orgasm, the body releases the hormone prolactin which helps relieve stress and invites relaxation. In turn, you get a better night’s sleep. 

Other studies have found that regular sex helps to reduce anxiety and could also lower stress-related blood pressure. 

Sex Hookups Post Lockdown 

As people start to emerge from self-isolation, one thing is certain; they will be as horny as a dog on heat. Social media is already ablaze with talks of post-lockdown hookups and plans for various sexcapades. 

The general view seems to be there’s going to be “fuckfest”. 

Official sources (except the Dutch), of course, advise against sex hookups or with partners that live in different households. With tons of pent up sexual energy in reserve, it’s a safe bet that most people will ignore what health officials advise. 

However, that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t take precautions. There are ways of socially-distancing during sex. Health chiefs in New York suggest using glory holes. Whatever takes their fancy. 

Essentially, Covid-19 spreads from one person to the next through the exchange of fluids. But it cannot be passed on purely by having sex. Kissing is ill-advised. So is rimming.

But providing you don’t cough, sneeze or exchange saliva, you can have sexual intercourse without any risk of contracting coronavirus. Want to find a hookup?

Lockdown is having a major impact on the lives of billions of people around the world. For many, government reaction to Covid-19 is meaning people have to make massive changes to their lives. 

Employees are learning how to work from home, kids are experiencing online learning or homeschooling, there are no bars or restaurants to break the routine of life at home and very few opportunities to visit “friends with benefits”. 

For singles in self-isolation, organising a sex hook up could be too risky. Yet despite adult dating relying on people meeting in person, a survey conducted by Shagbook reveals 24.3% of the 1000 independent respondents admitted to having had casual sex with someone they met online since the outbreak of coronavirus. 

Although the survey was conducted before PM Boris Johnson declared the country in lockdown on 23 March, 29% of married partners also admitted to having a discrete one-night stand with strangers they met on a sex dating site.

A surge in Webcam Subscribers

Online Sex Hookups

Whilst sex dating sites typically connect members looking for sex with people, they have a physical attraction towards, lockdown is creating new paradigms for members of online sex dating sites.

Bournemouth is a lovely coastal city whose motto is “Beauty and Health,” making it a prime place for dating! With over 185,000 residents, there are plenty of people looking for long term relationships, dating and even hookups. How could Bournemouth be a perfect place to find a one night stand? The answer: Tourism!

Part of Bournemouth’s charm is that it is a tourist destination for holidays where vacationers can expect a break from their normal reality. The latest data shows that more than 6 million tourists visit Bournemouth on an annual basis. Out of these 6 million tourists, there are plenty of singles who are looking to have a great time and that includes having a hookup or one night stand.

It’s mainly a resort town where people come for relaxing vacations, or where people who like a life that’s a bit slower come to live. It was found to be the happiest place in the UK, according to a survey in 2007. The town has many venues for concerts and conferences, as well as gorgeous art museums, lovely parks, and of course the scenic beach.

The scenic beach is a great place for casual dating or a place to meet your potential hookup. With the beautiful beaches and limited clothes, depending on the time of the year, if you are looking to see a little more skin on your potential date, this is the place to be.

If you are single and traveling to Bournemouth, don’t forget that over 80,000 Bournemouth residents work in the tourism industry.

Looking to see what Bournemouth has the offer and the history of this beautiful coastal city? The best thing you can do with your date or hookup is take a scenic tour of Bournemouth by bus.
