Entry 30 The men you shouldn't date I’m often told that I’m too picky when it comes to choosing guys. So picky, in fact, that I often do not have one. And by often I mean always. However over-critical I may seem, I have a pretty solid theory that certain minute annoyances are signs of serious relationship problems further down the road. Here are just a few seemingly superficial things that should keep you from dating a guy. *WHITE GUY IN A LEATHER JACKET. Nothing says “egomaniac” better than wearing an expensive (or worse yet- imitation) dead animal around your midsection. Even more appalling when accompanied by baggy skater pants and bling. Date a white guy in a leather jacket and you’ll find yourself in conversation where you nod in agreement just so you can move on to a new topic. If you’re lucky, he’ll even let you talk. As long as it’s about him. *THE BALDING 20-SOMETHING WHO SHAVES HIS HEAD. This man is obviously a compulsive liar. He has decided that rather than coping with getting older (and balder), he is just going to shave his head and no one will notice. And they won’t notice when he’s out all night. Or when he brings home other girls. And they won’t notice the lipstick on his collar (of his leather jacket). These behaviors can also be recognized in men with the comb over. *OVERSIZED PANTS/ PANTS THAT ARE TOO TIGHT. Inability to choose correctly fitting pants should put up a red flag. And written on that red flag is “Bad in Bed”. If he doesn’t know how to dress himself so he’s pleasing to look at, what makes you think he knows how to use the body he’s got for any other purpose? If he can’t even fit in his own pants, don’t let him get into yours. And finally *THE MAN WITH A MAN BAG. Is it a briefcase or a book bag? Or is it a purse? The man bag could symbolize a number of problems. The biggest threat being metrosexuality. Of course you hear those girls who say “I want a metrosexual guy. They’re handsome and sensitive and have good taste in clothes.” Perhaps. But when he says to you “Honey, I love your sense of humor”, don’t be surprised if it turns into “Girl, you are funny” or “Bitch, you crazy.” Repeat this aloud to yourself: “Self-proclaimed Metro= Prolly not Hetero”. Now, as you walk down the street, instead of smiling at a man you find attractive, pick out the things about him that you don’t like. Save yourself the trouble of a relationship and discover his inadequacies just by looking at him. With all those creeps out there, you’ll sleep better just knowing that you’re sleeping alone.
