According to Kelley's study, if someone presents themselves as having a certain trait (such as wit), then actions that align with that trait are more likely to be perceived positively. Therefore, if you have presented yourself as witty and make a slightly sarcastic comment, your blind date is more likely to perceive it as funny and witty rather than rude or insensitive.
