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.

The Four Tendencies in Relationships

Have you ever dated someone who never got off the couch? You knew he had amazing potential, but he never did anything with it. Trying to motivate him was a waste of time. Or maybe you’ve dated the opposite: Someone whose time was scheduled down to the minute. He never did anything spontaneously; it all had to be planned in advance. He was amazingly productive but an imperfect boyfriend. He had too many other priorities. Gretchin Rubin noticed these patterns when she was writing her 2015 bestseller,  Better Than Before.  She was examining why we find it so hard to establish desired habits and break bad ones. She found that some people are really disciplined. They’re good at living up to expectations. It’s a point of honor to them. You don’t let anyone down. These people were also really good at structuring their own time. They set their own goals and worked hard to meet them. But then there were people who could not follow the rules. They thought discipline and habits were for ...

Why Is He Sending Suggestive Pictures—And How Can You Get Him to Stop?

Article from  dating coach  James Bauer [1] Charlene was annoyed. “All I get are guys sending me disgusting pictures,” she told me. “Don’t they get that I don’t want to see them naked? They’ve got a serious problem if they think a photo like that is going to turn a woman on.” “So there’s not a single guy who’s contacted you who might be of interest?” I asked. “Nah, not really.” She rolled her eyes. “All the guys on Tinder just want hookups.” Charlene wasn’t the first client to tell me this. A 2017 survey found that 1 in 2 Millennial women have been sent an explicit photo from a man, while only 1 in 4 Millennial men admit to having sent one.[2]  The study asked women what they thought of these images, and the most common responses were “gross,” “stupid,” and “sad.” The study also asked men what they thought. Thirty-two percent of men thought the images were “gross,” but a nearly equal number (30%) thought they were “sexy.” Online dating sites are aware of the problem. Unfo...
