How happy do guys like girls to be?

I've had a lot of family issues the past three years and it has gotten me to become angry and cynical all the time. I'm going to college in three months, so I won't have them backstabbing and insulting me as often (at least in person, anyways). But, I have recently just accepted the fact that they're irrational and mean people and I'm trying to turn my life and emotions around.

I haven't had a boyfriend in around three years, but I'm in high school and still young so I don't really care. But in college, it would be nice to have one haha.

Although I am changing and becoming a happier person, how much emphasis do guys put on a girl's happiness? Will they not date girls who are more down? I'm not trying to become one of those girls who get happy amd excited over everything, but I'm still curious to what guys want in terms of happiness and positivity in girls.

    It matters.

    You can't pretend to be someone else when you're dating. Eventually, you will end up being your real self and the other person will feel as if you've changed. You can't keep up a facade. It doesn't work.

    Having said that, during the initial stages of dating, people are looking for something casual, light hearted, and above all fun, so most don't respond well to a bunch of negativity.

    It's not about changing yourself though. There are plenty of men who appreciate cynicism. It's about focusing on having fun. Unless you are eyore, there are things in life that you enjoy. You can relax and laugh. Focus on those things. Dating should be fun, and you have to be able to find a balance between fun and cynicism because no one wants to be around someone who is negative and bitter all the time. This goes for friendships and professional relationships as well.

    Being around someone who is happy doesn't require a lot of effort.

    Have a positive attitude but be a realist.
    If life serves you cancer, don't think you can make lemonade from it.

    I like women to be intelligent, and "not depressed". As you are asking, those overly happy, bouncy, permanent smile wearing bimbos drive me up the wall - they make me want to X-ray they skull and see if there actually is a brain in there.

    Most importantly, be you. If you are comfortable being a cynical "angry bitch", there is guaranteed to be someone out there who wants to be with a cynical "angry bitch". Faking a personality isn't going to last.
