Bob says no guy makes a perfect match

There are many different kinds of guys in the world. They range from the over-confident front man to the overly-cautious dude and everything in between. If you are dating one of them, you may want to get out before it’s too late. If married to one, good luck.

The Emotionally Distant Dude
Is he sad or happy – hard to tell? Or deliberately acting aloof in a misguided attempt to charm you but not looking for a committed relationship, leaving his partner feeling unworthy. This guy covers up everything that he’s thinking. To figure him out is an impossible task that you’ll never master. Don’t marry him if it’s not too late.

The Diamond in the Rough
His dress sense is terrible. He doesn’t have a funny bone in his body and he acts kind of dumb. But you believe you can totally fix him! He’s an undiscovered gem of talent and brilliance and nothing will convince you otherwise. He could be a lifetime project.

Mr. Pushover
He will agree with anything you say. He has low self-esteem with no sense of self-confidence, unable to voice or argue his opinions or desires. If a controlling woman, you easily attract pushover men. These men love you because they identify in your elements of maturity they don’t possess. Unfortunately, most of them never evolve. If you’re this type of woman you will always stay in control. It may work out!

The Selfish Type
He will never offer you his jacket if you’re cold. He’ll constantly ask you for “little favours” and never really return them. If you’re unlucky enough to find yourself dating a selfish guy, you better hope that he’s got some other amazing quality that makes it worth it, especially if you intend a long-term relationship.

The Worrier
For the overly cautious guy, a.k.a. the worrier, life is a series of scary obstacles to overcome. If there’s a spider in the bathroom or a mouse in the basement, they avoid those places at all costs. For every adventure to be had, they analyze every possible pitfall first. If you have a relationship with a worrier, you can forget about romantic spontaneity; it just won’t happen.

The Ultimate Player
He is a narcissistic charmer. Once hooked, you battle with his demands, criticisms, and self-centredness. He admires his own wit and image only. Don’t count on him for the long-haul. You can’t get him to change his ways. Narcissists often attract each other and that’s very dangerous. They’ll need each other one minute and fight the next over whose needs come first. One narcissist is too many let alone two!

The Romantic
He can’t go out on a date without it being an elaborately planned event, complete with red roses and a string quartet. He would have loved to have proposed to you, possibly in a hot air balloon over the city of Paris. While he can be fun to be with, keep in mind that you’ll be on a pedestal the whole time. Boredom!

The Big Shot
He generally works in finance and drives an overpriced sports car. He talks too loud on the phone, making it painfully aware to everyone that he’s closing an important business deal. Plus, he wears showy watches but doesn’t have any sustainable style. Unless flashy appeals to you, he’s not exactly marriage material.

The Stylish Guy
Men with an impeccable sense of style and personal grooming rarely do badly with women. Indeed, he wouldn’t be caught dead in blue jeans. All in all, he’s a great looking guy to have on your arm, but his stylish tendencies might cross over into annoying vanity. How long is too long!

Ambitious Guy
Whether it’s at work, at home or when it comes to his hobbies, this dude knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go out and get it. Indeed, he’s unapologetically ambitious and driven. He’s a fantastic partner, that is unless you get in the way of his personal priorities.

If women prefer everything in one guy, they would want him to know what he wants, really understand them, has a sense of humour, be unpredictable occasionally and lets you see his raw emotion.

Unfortunately, it just doesn’t turn out that way. Too many guys are selfish, string you along, are controlling or too distance. Like playing the horses, choosing the right one is a risk. Sometimes you win but mostly you lose.
