    When I was about 15, my mother made me a list of the kinds of men to avoid. Thankfully, most men don't fall into these groups, but these are the ones to stay away from.

    1. Men who won't get a job.
    2. Men who drink too much or do drugs.
    3. Men who hit women.
    4. Men who gamble.
    5. Men who cheat.
    6. Men who lie.
    7. Men who hate women.
    8. Men who hate children.
    9. Men who are cheapskates.
    10. Men who drive like maniacs.

    Any more you want to add?

    men who don't brush their teeth ever.
    men who don't want to do anything nice for you but expect you to do things for them.
    men who never want to have foreplay. (i mean come on, women can't get off the way men can)

    Nah I guess I got a keeper so I shouldn't be so hard on men anymore. They don't all suck. Just most of them.

    boys that talk about their ex all the time but freak out if you barely mention one of yours.. :rolleyes:

    i don't think any of those qualities listed already belong to a true man.. they are all boy qualities as far as i'm concerned.

    Men who spend all free time on a video/roleplaying/trading card game.

    I had one of these, and I've watched many relationships fall apart over it. Google "World of Warcraft Widows" for more information.

    And as for men who hit women, I disagree slightly. You are ignoring the consensual kink relationships. My husband has never hit a weaker (emphasis here) woman in anger, though in foreplay we leave many bruises on each other. It's equal wrestling, no holds barred. I love it.

    On a more serious note, though he has never had the opportunity, I know there are some women that my husband would hit, if given the chance:

    One of his co-workers is always hung over, calling in sick (drunk) to work, and she has two children at home. The only thing saving this one is his need for employment.

    He had an ex who battered him into two concussions before he finally left her. He was legally unable to defend himself, because she could have called abuse with ONE BRUISE while he was in the ER for the concussions. As it was, she tried to call rape on him once he dumped her.

    Anytime he sees a mother in public letting her child get away with EVERYTHING (This isn't just the usual kiddie stuff, I mean the spoiled child throwing a fit in the candy/toy isle while Mommy just says "Please calm down, junior. . . "), I see his hands clench. I can't argue. Too many children are left with no discipline these days.

    These are all situations where I think that hitting a woman may be justified. It's usually in cases where there's a mother mistreating or neglecting a child in some way. My husband doesn't like bullies, and he's very sensitive to parenting failures. These are both problems that occur in both sexes, so it's hardly fair to allow him to be angry towards a male and not a female. If we're going to have equality, let's have some bloody consistency in it.

    dude, he shoulda taken pictures and reported her bitch ass.


    oh, and those women trying to calm down their children typically do so because everyone is watching them, judging them (like your man) and at least one person is waiting to report them to children's services.

    yeah, seriously. if you want a girlfriend, get one. i swear, "womanly" men are a bigger pain in the ass than women. "womanly" is done like that to illustrate that it's the feminine stereotype, and totally not open for endless arguments about wtf womanly or manly means.

    by the way this list is coming along, it sounds like youre all ruling out pretty much every man!! (but i fully agree with the whole thing.. maybe we're all destined to never have a decent man..)

    Men who have unresolved issues with their fathers. I had a knack for picking men with lousy fathers, men who sort of wanted to be decent guys but admired their "bad guy" fathers too much to shake off their influence, so were always bouncing back and forth between treating me well and being shits with me. Trust me, ladies: no man like this is ever going to get himself straightened out enough to be a decent life partner. My husband has a great relationship with both his parents, so he isn't trying to prove anything to either of them. That's the sort of man to trust.
