Guys Never to Date, or... My dating History in a Nutshell.

There are millions of men out there... And while it would be great if we could just throw a rock and hit Mr. Perfect it's sure isn't that way.  (that's for damn sure - otherwise, no one would be single!).  So who should we avoid? You know, rock throwing isn't an exact science, but there are some men that we sure should avoid - and I obviously need to work on my aim - I obviously throw like a girl.

1. The loafer-dreamer.
You know the guy, he sits on the couch all day and does nothing.  He might play some video games and be very handy with the remote, but he sure isn't contibuting to the good of society.  And before you jump all over me - yes, I highly understand that we are in some economic woes right now, and that's understandable.  I know many people who are unemployed - and you can be unemployed and not be lazy!  You don't want to date a guy who is unemployed and isn't looking for a job or isn't contributing to society (and/or your relationship in some way!). 

2. The negative Ned.
You know the guys (hell, and women too!) that see the glass is half empty.  Who wants to be around a negative person - especially a guy that is trying to impress you?  Shouldn't he be trying to pull you up not bring you down!  If a guy finds fault in everything around, he's going to find fault in everything that you are.  RUN RUN RUN!

3. The egomaniac.
Ahh, I have a secret love affair with the egomaniac, and I'm not afraid to admit it.  I love a confident man who borders on asshole.  Is this good?  Hell no.  The egomanic controls his world and you just live in it. You know the guy - your feelings don't really matter and his attention will rarely be centered on you.   But you damn well better worship the ground he walks on.  But at the same time, in some strange magical way, you feel like you have been blessed that he has allowed you to enter his world.  I can't explain it, but the egomaniac pulls you in and makes you feel like crap and you love it. 

4. Dude with a ‘tude.
The bad boy.  In person they all look good.  You know the tattoos and all that.  It's hot, right?  His stance against authority sounds great, in theory.  Until you turn out to be the authority figure...  Remember, in "real life" authority is a fact of life.  And you don't want a guy who is constantly fighting "the man."

5. The chronic flirt.
Flirting is awesome, if you are the target of the flirting.  Now, if your boyfriend is flirting with everyone else, it's not so great.  You know the guys, the ones who are constantly flirting with anyone who has boobs - and likely is staring at those boobs at the same time.  Even the most confident and secure woman can only handle so much.  Ditch the constant flirt unless he's just flirting with you - because flirting is great but it often leads to more...

6. The mama’s boy.
MOMMY!  I love a man who is close to his family, but you know the type, he's gotta guy approval for every action from his mom.  She still buys his socks and underware and if she's close enough she does his laundry.  If his mom has his key to his apartment (or house) it's not a good thing.  There needs to be some major seperation!  You should be the #1 woman in his life, and mom can bump down to #2.

7. The addictive personality.
Ahh, so many addictions - so little time!  Drugs, gambling, alcohol, excercise, shopping...   If the guy has an addictive personality you might want to pass him by.  Because he can easily get addicted (say obbsessed)  with you... All that addicting is draining.
