Why You Should Look for Optimism in a Man

Honesty. Intelligence. Humor. Great hair. Career success. There are many traits you want in a man.

Well, according to a new study, there’s one more you should add to your list: optimism.

Why? Because optimistic people tend to be happier and healthier. Which rubs off on their partner. (That’s you!)

Specifically, the research found that long-term couples with an optimistic partner are better able to fight cognitive decline. Not to mention related issues, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Who knew looking on the bright side could be so powerful?

But it’s important to understand what researchers mean by “optimistic”.

You don’t want someone who just feels happy all the time. Or sees things through rose-colored glasses.

You want someone who takes action to make positive changes. Someone who not only sees the glass as half full, but actively works to fill it up the rest of the way.

If you find that man, hang on to him.

There are many ways to feel sexier. But one of the simplest ways is the tried and true cosmetic, lipstick. Psychologists have known about the “lipstick effect” for a while.

5 Ways Men Express Love

For Victoria, getting an “I love you” from her partner was like getting blood from a turnip. She could count on one hand the number of times he’d said it. She said it to him all the time. She was always thinking of little ways to show she cared. Yet he just assumed she knew how he felt. “I wouldn’t be with you if I didn’t love you,” he told her once. It seemed to her that he took her for granted. She didn’t want to be in a relationship where she never knew how he felt. She wanted romance and reassurances. She wanted long conversations. Instead it felt like their relationship centered on practical things. What needed doing, what was happening, what the weather would be tomorrow. She didn’t need to know the weather.
