Personality Traits
Are You Into Funny Guys?
I love a guy with a sense of humor, and it turns out I'm not the only one that falls for the jokester. A recent study conducted by psychologist Kristofor McCarty found that funny guys get the girls because humor makes men seem "more intelligent, trustworthy — and a better bet for a relationship." Of course hilarity makes everything else more fun, but tell me, is a funny guy a must for you, too?
Dear Poll: Are You More Like the Girl or the Guy?
When I asked if your significant other shows his emotion well, the results were pretty evenly split, although very extreme — the men were either completely closed off or very in touch with their feelings. Hearing stories of guys who are not ashamed to cry got me thinking about the roles we play in our relationships. Sometimes, we take on the stereotypical traits our gender dictates, but that's not always the case.
Study Suggests Opposites Don't Attract
Opposites attract, right? Paula Abdul said so, but as it turns out, she may need to rewrite that song! A new study shows that when it comes to finding a long-term partner, people look for others who share similar characteristics.
Dear Poll: Are You Embarrassed About Being in Therapy?
I'm a huge advocate of therapy. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd suggest it for everyone. Having an unbiased mediator to vent your frustrations to really helps relieve some of the burden we all shoulder, yet some people shy away from talking about it.
What Does Your Mr. Right Look Like?
I caught up on Monday's Oprah last night and her guest, Steve Harvey, gave us all a glimpse into the male psyche as he answered a bunch of burning questions about love from an audience full of women. One in particular came to the show with a list of 43 requirements that her dream guy must posses, which included his height, his religious beliefs, his bank account, her need for him to be independent, to be family-oriented, honest, trustworthy, romantic, and clean — just to name a few. Steve sure did get a kick out of it, but this woman was serious — she wants to find Mr. Perfect!
Sunday Confessional — I Canceled on My Blind Date
A co-worker of mine set me up on a blind date. I'm fresh out of a relationship so she was trying to do me a favor, but truth be told, she doesn't know me that well so I was a little apprehensive about the kind of guy she'd pair me with.
Once I got his name, I immediately searched for him on Facebook and lo and behold, I found him.
You Asked: Am I Too Edgy?
Dear Sugar,
I'm your average 22-year-old rocker guy, but when it comes to dating, I seem to be lacking something. I meet my fair share of women and have no problems talking with them casually, but I can't seem to close the deal, so to speak. I've been told by women in the past that I'm too "dangerous" not the "marrying type."
Please Pass the Salt!
If you're a salt lover, you're in luck — New research shows that salt is good for you after all! Researchers at the University of Iowa found that salt may act as a natural antidepressant. They tested this theory on lab rats and found that those with a salt deficiency shied away from activities they usually enjoyed — a sign of depression they say.
Dear Poll: Do You Respond Well to Tough Love?
I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of tough love. Being direct reduces the chance of misunderstandings, and when trying to get a point across, why waste time beating around the bush? Some people, however, don't do well with that kind of forthrightness.
You Asked: I'm Dating a Smoker
Dear Sugar,
I started dating this guy a few months ago, and everything has been going great. He's funny, sweet, and just an all-around good guy — I think I may even be falling in love with him! The only problem I see so far is that he smokes.
