You don\u2019t want to spend too much time around her. I have a friend like that, Danielle, and I either tell her to brighten up, or I just keep my distance for a few days until I can stand her again. It\u2019s pretty much the same thing when it comes to dating. Men may not even know it, but it\u2019s human nature to be attracted to someone warm, loving, and happy\u2014and to be turned off by negativity. The feminist in me says, \u201cI\u2019m human. Just because I\u2019m a woman, I shouldn\u2019t have to put a smile on my face to get a guy.\u201d I can understand that, but regardless of being male or female, humans are attracted to positivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_9\" data-reactid=\".0.$SITE_ROOT.$desktop_siteRoot.$PAGES_CONTAINER.$centeredContent.$inlineContent.$SITE_PAGES.$e5kdv_DESKTOP.$inlineContent.$comp-j2ltsa3s.$inlineContent.$mediaj2lywbkz1\/=1$mediaj2lywbkz1.$inlineContent.$comp-j2ltsait.$inlineContent.0.$child.$0.$inlineContent.$1.$5.$0.$richTextContainer.5\">\n<p class=\"font_9\" data-reactid=\".0.$SITE_ROOT.$desktop_siteRoot.$PAGES_CONTAINER.$centeredContent.$inlineContent.$SITE_PAGES.$e5kdv_DESKTOP.$inlineContent.$comp-j2ltsa3s.$inlineContent.$mediaj2lywbkz1\/=1$mediaj2lywbkz1.$inlineContent.$comp-j2ltsait.$inlineContent.0.$child.$0.$inlineContent.$1.$5.$0.$richTextContainer.6\">Would you be attracted to a man that is constantly pouting, pissed off at his boss, or depressed?
