It’s a debate that has raged throughout girl history. An argument that has divided nations and destroyed friendships, who’s best, Funny Boys or Fit Boys?

Call us mad if you like, but here at Being Girl we’ve always preferred a boy that can make us laugh to one that can crack nuts with his pecs but takes an hour getting ready in the bathroom. For all of you poor misguided lovers of looks here is the case for funny boys and why they rock our world.

By definition funny boys make you laugh

That makes you feel relaxed and at ease. A brooding hunk might be easy on the eye but a minute in their company is bound to have you gibbering like an idiot and he, poor boy, will be powerless to stop you. Think about Saif Ali Khan from Dil Chahta Hai, can you imagine feeling stiff or awkward in his company?

Funny boys get your jokes

What’s the point in fashioning an expert re-telling of the time when your friend read in assembly without realizing that the mic was off if he’s too dumb/serious to get it? Put this to the test, imagine telling your fav joke to Ryan from the O.C. and Seth from the O.C. Which is more fun?

Funny boys are relaxed about appearances

A jokey boy won’t expect you to look immaculate. In fact he’d rather you didn’t or you might get annoyed when his hilarious practical joke involving a can of spray cream and lashings of chocolate sauce backfires and ruins your outfit. We bet a practical joker like Aamir Khan would prefer a relaxed and casual girl to a polished princess.
