good-humored

Easy to like

Good-humored describes someone who is cheerful, friendly, and easy to get along with—the kind of person who takes things in stride and doesn't get easily annoyed.

A good-humored response to teasing shows you can laugh at yourself.

The word suggests a pleasant, genial temperament rather than just a momentary good mood.
