Other men to avoid

As a follow-up from “Top 3 Men to Avoid”:

4. Mr Fraud – This man is replaces Mr Charismatic on my original list. He’s the evolved version of Mr Charismatic, Mr Desperado and Mr Bisexual! How? Mr Fraud is the one who will sweep you off your feet, blow you away with his words, manners, looks, brains, family background and the list goes on. U think he’s Mr Right and flattered with his words of everlasting love even though he does it very much like Mr Desperado, but the strange thing is, you don’t mind because U are deeply infatuated with him and caught up with this emotional high whenever you’re around him. After a whirlwind of courtship, Mr Fraud starts sharing his financial dreams. U get caught up and want to help him achieve his dreams, believing that U will both live happily ever after. U start paying during dates, buying his stuff coz he needed it but was financially tight that particular month. Before you know it, he says he needs to go away for a while to some faraway land to achieve his dreams coz he wants to spend the rest of your life with U. But he needs money and U readily give it to him, even paying for his airfare. Then he leaves, calling you when he arrives at his destination and then U never hear from him again. He leaves U with a broken heart and flat broke. Worse, he can be pulling the same stunt with more than 1 woman simultaneously! Mr Fraud also has no problems bending his sexual preferences if he sees a rich, attractive gay man he can lay his hands on. So gay men are also not spared. Mr Fraud tops the list for “Men to Avoid”.

5. Mr Married but Available (a.k.a M.B.A) – The very fact that he’s married and still searching spells major trouble. The thing about married men is that they have this confidence that most single men don’t. Why? Because they are already in a relationship and are having fun before they head home to their wives. They don’t have the questions of “Will she laugh at my jokes?”, “Do I ask for her number?, “Should I ask her out now?”, hence their conversations and interactions with women are often more relaxed. Women find it attractive and some inadvertently fall for the “out-of-reach” Mr M.B.A. But beware, not only are you inviting bad karma by dating Mr M.B.A, you’re also in for a emotional roller-coaster of heartache and pain. They promise you that they will divorce their wives while having mind-blowing sex with you – forbidden fruit always is sweeter, hence the sex is usually fantastic… Even if he really does leave his wife for you, can you ever be sure that he won’t do the same to you? Stay far away from Mr M.B.A because the emotional highs and great sex is just not worth all the pain and guilt. Also if his wife finds out, you’re in for a lot of trouble….

6. Mr “Alcoholic” – Men in this category are great and fantastic boyfriends until they start drinking. They tell you it’s only 1 drink then it’s 3 drinks and then the next thing you know, U’re dragging them home and cleaning up after their vomit/piss/whatever mess they leave behind. Certainly, not the best way to spend a Friday or Saturday night. U can’t help but think that it’s only a phase, he’s going though a hard time, U’ll be the one who will pull him through this madness, etc, etc, etc. But my dear ladies, men only change if they want to change, and in most cases, they are perfectly happy with the way they are. How can you tell if U meet a Mr “Alcoholic”? All of your dates are in (or end up in) pubs or restaurants that serve interesting or cheap alcohol, best if there is Happy Hour, coz he can drink more for less. He meets with his male pals for drinks every week and each time, they finish bottles of alcohol. At first, U think he’s cool or simply being manly, until he starts slurring, swearing or worse, putting his hands all over other women when U’re off to the ladies or starts borrowing money from you to finance his drinking. Need I say more?

Good luck with the “perpetual search” for Mr Right!
