What Golf Can Tell You About A Man

HORSEBACK RIDING

What to look for: Patience

Red flag: Dismissive

Horseback riding is Beyer’s favorite activity to recommend for a date because it reveals critical qualities in a life partner. In fact, one of her clients recently captured the attention of a woman only after he was thrown from a horse and then got right back on.

“She wasn’t that interested in the beginning, but then she saw how he handled it, that he didn’t scream at the horse or the guides,” Beyer recalls. “He was patient and fair when he got back to the stables. It really impressed her.”

But you want to look for more than just how he handles his fears; how he responds to yours can uncover more endearing—and important—character traits.

“If you’re fearful and he encourages you, that’s indicative of patience in life and in a relationship because there are going to be times when a person is having more of a hard time in life, and then the other person needs to lend a hand,” Clampitt says.
