Besides a shopping spree...
Women want a man who can make them laugh, according to a CNN article that referenced a study conducted by Kristofor McCarty, of Northumbria University in Newcastle, England.
Laughing was an indicator of intellengence, in the study, and women were more likely to consider a long-term relationship with the men who exhibited these characteristics.
Partners who are more likely to be humorous are also more likely to lighten tense situations that all relationships go through, especially when a couple has children.
Humor is a good characteristic to look for in a friend, as well. The same benefits someone can recieve from humor in an intimate relationship can be found in a good friendship.
Laughter is linked to good health in more ways than one:
- It reduces the number of stress hormones,
- Provides physical and emotional release and
- Exercises your diaphram
The take home is simple; to be happy is to be healthy. Find the joy in your life and look for the joy in other people's lives as well.
