Why do a lot of people on Y!A lack a sense of humor?

Agreed! I'm all about answering serious questions, and will take my time to do so, but there are other times where I just need a chuckle or laugh. I think all of us(being mommies) need a little humor in our days, otherwise we'd go even more off the deep end.

I second Mozzie's answer. :)

I have no idea, I think that every time I read a humorous question and some of the answers are so serious. LIGHTEN UP!!

I have a sense of humor....about every other day anyway. :) I don't bother much with questions I don't like. My big pet peeve are the ones that are so stupid you have to wonder how the person ever learned to use their computer in the first place and if they know how to use it, why not try doing a little research before presenting yourself as such an idiot? Lol, see....I'm almost 8 months pregnant and my hormones sometimes (often times) get the better of me. I truly do try not to be rude or offensive to people, but with this pregnancy I have found this to be a task that actually takes some work. Very unlike my "normal" self. Oh well, in the end, what difference does it really make? I don't remember who is who on here and I take each question for what it's worth. If I find it annoying or a question that has been repeated every day, day in and day out, I just tend to ignore it. No big deal.

I third Mozz's answer. I tried to figure this out myself and I see it this way. Girls are social creatures. We are just made that way. Well actually all humans are but females especially tend to derive their own self image according to how they feel others view them. Since they do this, naturally they would tend to feel somewhat jealous and insecure if they felt other people were getting more attention or were more "accepted" than they are. Males are the same way, except that the immature males tend to place more self worth on his "stuff" rather than his social placing. The only thing about this little concept is that USUALLY those females (and males) I mentioned earlier grow into mature adults and realize that "social standing" is not how to define oneself. When one doesn't grow and mature as she should, she hangs onto her childish views of "Am I as popular, pretty, funny, noticed, liked as her". The females who DO mature are still very social (that's how were made!) but they just no longer define themselves according to any social ladder. In other words, some people just need to grow up.
