Can we add a category. The Nasty Neanderthal? He is the guy who wines and dines you at the best places in town. Then he invites you over to his filthy bachelor pad and you can't even find a place to sit down. All I can say is not tolerable.

I understand what this article is trying to say, but I'm not sure that I think its realistic. Whats left? If you avoid all these traits you mightfind yourself with an oldman who hates his mother, blows his money on valet, and is probably overweight from not walking a few blocks everyday. It seemslike this is another articleadvising women to look for perfection. I believe we don't always know what we want.You're solemate might like video gamesmore than you think he should. Or maybe you're solemate smokes cigarettes (heaven forbid) or drink one too many onweekends. If you weed people out by things like this, you might miss true love. WE AREN'T PERFECT -- WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR US. People who write articles might not know either.

I perfectly agree with this. I was once told by my parents that the "right one" will support you in what you do...she won't try to change you...





Only way you change yourself/habits is:





#1- For yourself or your kids


#2-If you are married, you put your wife before yourself


#3- If she is willing to change herself to accomodate you, you must be willing to do the same.

I would also like to add one myself. THE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE GUY: This fits me and although I do admit that I am far from perfect as we all are. I have heard this statement more than once, along with the "You treat me better than anyone I have ever known, you are so wonderful but I view you more as a best friend." I have asked women what they look for in a guy and it is everything that I encompass as a man, yet they all seem to go back with that which they said they didn't want. What do you all want!? Sensitive, kind, compassionate, affectionate, understanding and supportive. I am all of this and am not clingy. If I am with a woman she is the only one dear to my heart as I caress her heart with the passion that I give to her. We all need our space and I am no different. However they all seem to flock like helpless butterflies to the CAVE MAN mentality, that of which I do not possess. I am ALL MAN, just not your typical man.


Yeah, I am the too good to be true guy also. I dated a woman once who told me that when she met me, she thought I was perfect...but I let her down. Lol. When I read many of these posts, I see how many of us are just plain frustrated. Things don't work out for us and we have no clue. We get all kinds of mixed signals and are just left wondering what is going on. But we need to think about something. Why should a woman be interested in us? What does a woman really want in a man and why are we not providing that. There are as many reasons as there are women. And that is ok. The thing is to keep putting yourself out there. It is more important to keep trying. Date as many kinds of women as you can and find out what you really want. Most of us tend to stay in our comfort zone and so we get the same results. Fool me once...

Great post. You offer some good advice for both men and women. I have never thought about going outside of my comfort zone. This gave me something to think about and try different. Thanks.

You missed "The Big Spender" - the guy who has to go to the most expensive restaurant and the latest hot spot and puts everything on a credit card, so he's head over heels in debt. He is fun to date, but isn't a keeper. Also watch out for the ones who can't hold a job - you'll end up bringing home the bacon and cooking it, too.

Congratuliations. You have effectively boxed every man reading this article into at least on of these groups. If you're stuck with little money in a difficult time, you're a cheap skate, but if you enjoy you're affluence, you're a Mr. Gadget. And the same to you're jeuvenile references. If a man is simple in taste he's a man child, but if he is of more refined tastes, that once again makes him a "grown-up kid". Where did you get your research and sources? The girls from Sex in the City?

I read this article with interest becauseI am trying to find that special lady to spend the rest of my life with. And, since it hasn't happened, I thought i would find myself in this article. I didn't. I am told I am handsome, don't look anywhere near my age, am intelligent, fairly fit, have a great sense of humor, am fun to be with, financially comfortable and an alpha male but a real gentleman. I know what type of womanI want, and maybe my parameters are too tight. I simply seek a nice looking woman with high self esteem who is fit, intelligent, has a good sense of humor and likes the adventures of life. She also needs to bring something to the table so I know she is not a gold digger. I have a beautiful home in an upscale community in a great area of Florida. I love going places and doing things like fine dininmg, concerts, travel and such. So, what am I doing wrong?

The top five types of guys females avoid:


#5 The Arian Acordian player


These types believe that polka's soul isin the third reich. Unless a woman has been born in the third trailer, only a shot-gun wedding will ensue.


#4 sasquatch


Sasquatch has no money, he's sneaky, and he lives in the forest. Females avoid him. Don't be sasquatch.


#3 Fake British accent guy.


Usually alloted to overzealous gamers, LARPErs, and/or failed actors. The fake british accent guy turns on only the fake accent girl. Reality need not apply.


#2 Smile and stare guy.


Some think that holding a gaze is a form of seduction. This guy thinks staringa womandown with a smile will open worlds of fertile ground upon which he has never treaded. He adds the nod. All who notice shiver.


#1 The No-teeth cigarette guy


So he has a hunched back... He has some thick glasses, so he must have an optomitrist.... but he's rolling that non-filtered cigarette through his gums and spitting as he talks about the local pharmacy. That guy is number one.

Bravo.


Change happens every day. A selfish man changes for the wife's family. A real man pretends to be selfish for the wife's family.
