Five online dating types to avoidFrom: The Frisky Your passive-aggressive aunt bought you a Match.com subscription for
Christmas. While your first impulse was to hit her with a brick, you've
always been curious about online dating. "What the heck?"
you figure. "I'll write an ad and take a look around." Torso tosser: This dude is super proud of his abs -- or at least
the photo of Brad Pitt's abs that he's pretending are his -- yet he
refuses to show his face. This means one of three things: he's married,
otherwise engaged, and/or doesn't want his wife's/girlfriend's friends
busting him cheating. Or maybe he's unapologetically searching for someone
to have a purely physical relationship with and wants a woman who feels
the same way (which is fine, but don't expect flowers or romance from
this guy). Kliché King: He's "tired of the bar scene,"
doesn't like "game-players," never met a "long walk on
the beach" that he didn't enjoy or a sunset that didn't make him
weep with joy. He firmly believes beautiful flowers grow from stinky
cow dung and is as comfortable in a worn pair of jeans as he is in a
tuxedo. Carpet bomber: These guys aren't looking for someone special. They're looking for someone. Anyone. They cast a wide net, sending out winks and notes to anything remotely female in their path. Consequently, their messages tend to read as if they've been written by a dull-witted robot:
Ayn Rand fan: The kind of guy who lists "The Fountainhead"
as his favorite book is telling you something. He probably works in
finance. The last book he read was "The Fountainhead" and
that was in ninth grade when we all had to read it. Finicky freak: Even though he's 45, he's only interested in women between 18 and 27. Miss Right must possess naturally red hair (shoulder length or longer, please) and a full C-cup. He's somewhat flexible with his height requirement -- as long as you're between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet -- but you absolutely cannot weigh over 110 pounds, regardless of your height. If you want to be his girlfriend/doormat, you must have at least a BA --preferably an MBA -- but not a Ph.D. (because that would mean you're smarter than him). |
