My soon to be ex wife crossed into a couple of the types listed here, but still put her own twist on it.....

The problem with the article assumes a man is out "looking" - which if you are - your already going to fail.

Maybe its just the D in me, but too many men fail to have expectations of the woman or women they date. Then they "settle" for someone that doesn't meet them, just to have a partner. They end up miserable, often p-whipped, simply because they can't stand NOT being in a "relationship".

If you want to be successful in a relationship with a woman - grow a pair and keep em. Be who you are, and if she cannot accept you like that (or tries to "change" you), then move on. Don't "try", just enjoy life until you find that person who you can accept fully, and who does the same with you.

No matter which type you choose or are finally engaged to -voluntarily or not- remember always what my father used to say: "There's only one thing worser than a woman, and that's a mother"

meaning that whenever a woman has offspring, all her characteristics get multiplied tenfold ...

That is sound advice for anyone, regardless of gender, when it comes to relationships.

And it works both ways - some people find another person, then twist themselves all out of shape to be the person the other person wants. Some people find another person and try to "fix" the other person until he/she is what they want. I was in a relationship with a "fixer" for a long time, way too long. NEVER AGAIN. Especially now that I've been around a while longer. I know who I am, and I'm happy with it. I'm not perfect, and I'm sure I've still got some things to learn... but I'm not gonna wake up tomorrow and do a u-turn.

And given the age range of potential companions, guys who still have major "issues" that are problematic for me at "our" age? They can work those out on their own time, I got better things to do.

Another piece of advice would be don't stick it in the crazy

Is it just me, or does the "smart ass" designation paint the author more negatively than it does the women he is criticizing?

Quote:

Every man likes an articulate woman, a girl who can voice her opinion, sound intelligent and impress your friends with a philosophical debate ... a woman with verbal confidence can be a hell of a turn-on. But... it's something quite different to date a woman who beats the opinionated war drum.

..... why does she seem to get angry with you when you can't agree? Some women simply like to test you to see how well you stand up for yourself; others just like to exert their own power. The Smart-Ass exposes your intellectual weaknesses and will subsequently cut you down because of it.

So it's fine if she's smart enough to impress your friends and turn you on, but if you actually have to listen to her opinions and consider the possibility she might be right and you might be wrong... well, now this is something that needs to be avoided at all costs! Just shut up and act cute!

Or am I just a cynic and a gender-traitor?

I think the whole thing would press fewer buttons if it was gender neutral: 5 types of people to avoid, "some people" do this instead of taking the tired old "wimmenz be cray-cray'" approach to relationship advice.

For almost everything that "some women" are, there are "some men" who are just the same and the behavior is just as crazy and crazy-making.
