Ok, in another thread the term SNAG was used to describe a guy and this is the definition given by lil_lamb:

the SNAG is a horrifying creature. they come off unusually evolved. have read all the self-help books women have, do all the yoga women do, talk about their feelings in a very articulate way like women. they believe they're in touch with their feelings, but really they've only analysed these things intellectually and, in fact, are totally subject to them like a two-year-old.


I would like to hear more because I am not sure if I understand and have run across this guy or not. Is this guy a player or just really not self-aware? Too much Oprah time and inexperienced or just someone that knows the right things to say?



oh, and SNAG stands for Sensitive New Age Guy!

I might have dated someone similar to that but I think my methodology concerning dating effectively eliminates them. I find them to be distasteful, at best.

I've run across guys like this, but I haven't dated them. While some of the individual traits are good traits, all together in a single package is too fake and plastic for me.

According to lil_lamb, I just did. I see her point of the over analytical nature. You don't see it until you sit back and really take a look at it I think.

Since I'm usually not into the guys who want "spirituality", "one with the earth", "hippie", etc., I don't run into them much after I say I'm the super conservative gal.

Any real man willing to be that ought to consider that "SNAG" can also stand for "Silly, Nutty And Ghey"

I must not be a SNAG, as when I tried Yoga it increased my stress levels. No more of that!

Lol. I have dated this guy! I didn't know there was a term for it. He was uber sensitive, read all sort of self-help books, but was singularly the most emotionally damaged man I have ever dated in my life. From this experience I learned men who can, do; men who can't, read self help books so that they can rationalize why they let their baggage keep them from living their lives.
