Source: http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/spring-cleaning-5-guys-dump-132000980.html Just for fun!: Tell me what you think each guy's sign would be, according to the descriptions 1. Mr. I'm Too Busy: "Gosh you're amazing but I just don't have the time for a relationship right now." If you've heard any variation of that line, know that you've just been warned. That relationship, if that's what you're hoping for, is going nowhere and he's basically told you so. The deal with Mr. I'm Too Busy is that he really ain't too busy. If you believe nothing I ever tell you, believe this: If the guy is into you, he'll find time. Period.
2. Mr. Panderer: This is the guy who has mastered the "game." Typically, he seeks out women who are looking for an old-school/traditional guy. Why? Because (in his mind) that woman can be had by sticking to the old courting playbook. She's not a huge challenge for him-even though the woman may think she is. Not for Mr. Panderer. He knows what SHE thinks before she even thinks it because it's all in the playbook. He says and does all the "right" things as a gentleman all the time. If he seems too good to be true....start looking for clips of him on Dateline. 3. Mr. Mysterious: This guy can be everything or anything. His genius is making you feel as if you know him "well enough" without knowing a thing about him. You probably haven't been to his place. And if you have, you've probably only been there at certain times. He never really answers questions about his life. It's likely he's reluctant to introduce you to his friends or family-and has made mention or attempt at doing so. And he probably doesn't care to meet yours. This guy probably has no male friends either. No best friends? Beware. No matter how sexy or intriguing Mr. Mysterious seems to be, there's something not quite right about him. 4. Mr. Know-It-All: One of the worst. Mr. Know-It-All may initially be impressive. His intellect is alluring, no doubt. Problem here? No one really knows it all. Furthermore, no one wants to be around anyone who thinks they know it all. Even worse, this guy can tend to be overbearing and domineering. He's always telling you what you did wrong, always telling you the "right" way to do things. He has very little regard for other perspectives. His high opinion of his opinions turns your friends off as much as it turns you on. Ultimately, this guy will end up being far more controlling than you expect and that's not good. 5. Mr. Apology: We all love and appreciate contrition. You screw up? You own up to it. But there's a limit to everything. How many times can a person apologize before you realize that the repentance has the worth of Monopoly money? (Especially if it's for the same transgression time and again.) Understand this; if the guy is constantly apologizing he either lacks confidence or he doesn't really respect you. Because at some point the lesson learned should stick and shouldn't keep happening. If it DOES, it's because he knows he can get away with it by saying, "my bad." Not good enough. IP: Logged |

We males shall not stoop to that level, even though we are fully capable of a equi-reciprocal response.

" Men who are kind simply to be kind and not for any reward are very rare. I wish that they would go and give seminars, honestly. They need to bring up other men to their level. (And, too, women need to stop putting up with bad behavior from guys; if women would not accept bad behavior, men would be forced to raise the bar, so the responsibility falls on both sides)."This is very true and good insight to be acted on. Now notice she says both sides. IP: Logged |

quote: Originally posted by RegardesPlatero: To be fair, though, it's really hard to know when a person is being genuine and when he's just doing it to get laid/in the hopes of getting laid, so it can get confusing for women (at least for me) sometimes. Personally, I tend to have a "guilty until proven innocent" mentality when it comes to trusting people, and especially with men. For me, trust is earned slowly over time, hard to attain, easy to lose: something fragile and precious. I'm careful about who gets my trust. So, that's not an affront to genuinely good guys: it's a way to keep myself safe. If I trusted every guy, I'd be in a lot of trouble. And these days, ever since being sexually harassed by a woman, I'm more careful around women than I used to be in the past. On the other hand, though, I think that aquaguy makes a fair point here. So, I do appreciate men who have genuine manners and who act gentlemanly without any expectations or strings attached, especially since I'm surrounded by d-bags. Men who are kind simply to be kind and not for any reward are very rare. I wish that they would go and give seminars, honestly. They need to bring up other men to their level. (And, too, women need to stop putting up with bad behavior from guys; if women would not accept bad behavior, men would be forced to raise the bar, so the responsibility falls on both sides).

i agree, and i picked up a book not along ago called straight talk no chaser by steve harvey,its a book giving advice on how women shoul deal with men,and one piece of advice he gives women is to hold off on sex for atleast 3 months,that way if the guy is still around she can assume he is genuine and i have to agree.

They're predatory which means they'll go after *willing* prey. If they prey isn't willing then they split sooner than later, that's how it works... I also think you can definitely know someone without having sex with them. You're still objective and you can see their true colors unfold when the decision time comes. IP: Logged |

Get them angry, and I mean furious. You'll know everything you've ever wanted to know without ever having to touch them... then you can figure out whether or not you want to go for the gold. ------------------ Felines and dames in flames Will hardly serve my aims But in my dreams, it seems That my eyes are always shooting laser beams IP: Logged |
