It's not THAT funny
Were you having to explain the joke or why you find it funny?

Both, I think
And then I realised I was making two mistakes.

1. I wasn't speaking to a maths geek.
2. He was married.

Could you please explain it to me?
Or will that infuriate you?

Maths geek tries to apply maths to romance.
Fails.

I'm not sure why 1. or 2. are important
You don't have to be a maths geek to recognise algebraic equations nor to be unmarried to realise that "love" can be difficult to understand.

Perhaps the problem lay in the explanation
I tried the simple one I gave to roota.

Still a blank.

Either the man has a heart of stone or just truly doesn't understand geeks.

In a way, I kind of pity the fact he'll never laugh at a raptor joke.

I'm sure he understood that
But probably didn't find it very funny. I'd describe that particular comic as interesting rather than funny.
