What kind of a sense of humour do Russian women generally have? Do they laugh a lot or very little?
Russians have a great sense of humour, otherwise they won’t be able to survive in this country. They laugh about things instead of complaining. Though they smile very little it the streets and in everyday life, it’s not because they have no sense of humour, but because they do not usually smile without a reason. If you meet somebody’s sight, she will usually just look back but never smile, as in Russia it’s not appropriate to smile to strangers. The sense of humour they have is also different. Russians prefer very fine type of jokes, with indirect humour that westerners would describe as dry. Russians do not find it funny when somebody falls or the like, and they consider many western comedies being silly. Loud laughing at background in sitcoms they find irritating and stupid. When somebody makes a joke or tells a funny story, he will usually do it with very serious expression on the face, and he will spoil everything if laughs with others.
