Attitude is Everything; Celebrate Positive Attitude Month
October is Positive Attitude Month, and It’s Just Lunch, the premiere dating service for busy professionals with over 100 locations worldwide, has conducted a survey of 5,876 singles to gauge their attitude on life, love and happiness. The survey reveals that 65% of singles say they are generally happy people and 72% of singles are positive they will get married some day.
“A positive attitude is everything when it comes to dating,” said Alana Beyer, Vice President of It’s Just Lunch. “The top characteristics a single person looks for in someone they date are humor and kindness. Our survey also showed that singles believe rudeness and arrogance are the least attractive character traits. Positive Attitude Month is a perfect time to change your outlook and see if those changes impact your love life.”

When it comes to dating and your friendships, just how important is attitude to you?
I think the above stats are fairly common sense, but I am only one person.
If were were asked to describe characteristics that bother you most in relationships, or what factor has destroyed most of your previous relationships, what would it be?
I’m especially drawn to that 25% of women claiming a smothering partner and 38% of the men pointed out nagging women - but where are the rest of those who were polled? What’s the answer? Surely there’s answers that are more common than in the 25th percentile.
