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.

3 Signs He’s Not Worth Another Date

As much as  online dating   is a ton of work without much reward, it does teach you a lot about human nature. The way men present themselves when you meet them for the first time is INCREDIBLY revealing. Pay attention, and you’ll start to notice patterns. There seems to be a common script that many guys follow. It goes like this… 1. They drop comments about their wealth or status. Think of the guy who wants you to know he has a Maserati in his garage back home, or that he’s got an inside connection who get you backstage at the next concert. 2. They drop comments about the life you could expect if you were their girlfriend. Think of the guy who explains in great detail how well he treats his girlfriends, or how he’s got a holiday home at the beach that he could take you to. 3. Sometimes, they drop provocative comments to see if you’ll react. Think of the guy who mentions that he listens to Howard Stern, or the guy who says he doesn’t understand the fuss about waiting ...

This Gets Him Thinking About A Future With You

What do you think the very best gift you could give a guy is? Telling him that you want a future with him? Or telling him that you believe in the future he wants for himself? Sometimes, guys don’t grow up dreaming of love in the same way as women do. While girls were watching old-school Disney movies where the princess falls in love and finds her prince, boys were watching races and fights and death-defying feats. Sure,  sometimes  the guy in these movies gets the girl, but the girl is a reward for his bravery and fearlessness in the face of impossible odds. Even today, with all the empowering movies for girls where the girl saves the kingdom instead of marrying the prince, there still aren’t a lot of movies for boys that flip the script. Everyone gets to have a mission in life, but boys still aren’t getting the message that falling in love and becoming a husband and father could be a central focus of their lives. So when it comes to the men in our lives—the  men we meet ...
