True there are
numerous articles out there with similar titles, but this one is dedicated
specifically to the types of males that intelligent, ambitious and strong women
won’t marry. This is not to say that any of the listed types below are
unmarried, many are, but most probably not to the women this article is in reference to. Picky? Sure
call us whatever you’d like. But we’re smart enough to recognize that
choosing the man whom we'll spend the rest of our lives with is no walk in the
park and therefore should not be taken lightly. So for all those nosy people who
continuously ask us why we are still
single, here are twenty-one glorious reasons:
1. He’s already in a relationship…with a woman named
Siri. This is a common 21st
century disorder (unfortunately). He’s that guy that’s glued to his cell phone,
iPad, laptop and whatever other technological device comes into the market.
He’s the man that’s uploading every aspect of his life on
Twitter, Instagram & Facebook as well. And he’s also easily stalk-able
because well, he checks in every step he takes! Makes us wonder what aspect of
our relationship will remain sacred and private?
2. He’s almost 40 but you’re ready to hire a clown
for that upcoming birthday party. When
you first meet, you find about 65 seconds of refreshing maturity. Then the jig
is up and it all crumbles. Suddenly you’re wondering where the parent is that
left this child unattended. Talk about the Peter Pan Syndrome! Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puer_aeternus for more info.
3. That elusive parent from Point #2 arrives and you
realize “Mama’s Boy” is quite the understatement. When he starts talking about how his mom cooks him
dinner nightly and does his laundry every weekend, intelligent girls know that this is
one damn red flag. And if he has to run every little thing in his life by her for
approval, then he shouldn’t really wonder why we said no.
4. “No yooouuu choose for me.” If I have to hear one more guy say that to me, I may
just vomit. Sharing in the decision-making of things in life is nice, but if
you need to be babied and cannot decide on anything, go back to your mama boy.
Intelligent women would like a man who is mature enough to have opinions of his
own to share. (Please note the word share,
not impose.)
5. “I hate my job.” This is the guy that does not let a day go by without complaining
about something regarding his job. Jeez, quit already! And if you’re not going
to, then change something to adjust. This is the rest of your life and there’s
no need to constantly live in misery and/or have a bad attitude. Do something
about it.
6. He’s reached level 12 on Halo 4. Nothing is a bigger turn off than the guy who values
video games almost as much as reality. It was cute when he was 12 playing
Tetris, but when he’s got that Law Degree on the wall behind him, his 5 0’clock
shadow is two fold, his eyes are bloodshot and his greatest concern is how the
hell to contact Infinity in the year
2557, there is a problem.
7. Fifteen minutes of fame is not enough. Being the center of attention is his life goal.
Not Mt. Everest, not World Peace but keeping the spotlight on him. So every
joke, every loud tone, every pick up line, they are all up his sleeve. He even
thinks throwing in a few F-bombs or $#!% or @$$ could be hot. It’s not!
8. Gossip Guy could be his new nickname. Intelligent women can’t handle the chatty gossip
from other women, so you think we’re going to take it from men? Besides the fact that
it is rude and immoral, a man detailing the drama and issues of others is
utterly unattractive. It’s even more unappealing when he begins to dig into the
woman’s private affairs for gossip.
9. A woman’s place is in the kitchen…or on the
bottom. Yeah, this is the jerk
who jokes so often about raunchy or offensive things it becomes clear that this
is his real mentality. If he repeats the jokes about a woman’s need to be
subservient or dwell eternally in the kitchen, it’s not only disgusting but it
gives us a good perspective into life with him in the future. So if we never
called you back, well, now you know why.
10. And
bouncing off Point #9… If guys
believe that women are second-class emotional confused beings who don't know what they want, don’t wonder why
the intelligent goal oriented woman is not giving you a chance. She DOESN'T want you. There’s no
mystery here.
11. Toots his own horn. It’s possible he thinks the sound of his voice
makes the best soundtrack to life? But telling us how amazing he is, how cool his sense of fashion is, how
attractive he is, how many girls he can get in an instant (and yet he's single?)
and so on, is most definitely a turn off.
12. Hook-a-holic. This is the man that must end his nights with a
one, two or three hour hookah session and tries to make it sound like a fun,
“Hey let’s go chill at the lounge,” thing. One word: Yuck!
13. He (thinks)
he’s sexy and he knows it. So he
smokes but makes sure to obsess over his body, and let’s us all know about it.
Then critiques our own bodies…and what we ordered off the restaurant menu. OH
NO YOU DIDN’T!
14. “You’re
paying! Right!?” Yup, they exist.
Those men that rudely command you to pay instead of politely suggesting a split
(though intelligent women always reach for their own wallets to pay), and then
go on to critique your personal spending habits while still in the starting
phase of the relationship.
15. Mood swinger.
Whoever said women were the moody
ones must have lived on a planet that did not have men. These are the guys that
just zone out and suddenly have an attitude after being enjoyable company...which seems like most men. Talk
about real PMS.
16. Blames global
warming. Okay, maybe not global
warming, but he blames science for his deficiencies in being the sympathetic
human who thinks of others besides himself. He’s the guy that just shrugs his
shoulders and says, “It’s biological.” No sweetie, no, it’s not. God created
humans with free will. You can choose to care and make an effort, or you can
remain a jerk. That’s not biology, that’s personal choice.
17. Richie
Rich. You can’t see the dollar
signs in his eyes, but you see them everywhere else. It’s that man that has the
wealth flaunted so that everyone else knows it. Some even have the audacity to
ask a woman why she’s working/job hunting when in the end she will submit to
marrying a “sugar daddy” like him and end up staying at home to cook, clean and
reproduce.
18. Can(not)
commit. This is the guy that acts
like he’s interested in getting serious but drops lines like, “Let’s just see
where this could possibly lead us,” or “Let’s not ruin the nice friendship we
have now but let’s stay monogamous.” Yeah, um, buddy, no!
19. The
Walking Contradiction. We all
know and (don’t) love this character. It’s the guy who has done everything and
anything he possibly could in his past but expects his future wife to be a pure
sinless virgin dipped in holy water. And of course, he has the freedom to pursue
whatever desire he comes across later, but the wife must be the obedient good
girl. And if he’s “religious” (somehow, with all that) he considers everything
his wife desires sinful.
20. Slim
Shady. So James Dean’s mystery is
sexy eh? Not so much for the intelligent woman. A man who keeps things in the
dark during the “getting to know each other” phase begins to raise a red flag
or two. Especially if he’s divorced. Or if any of his life relationships seemed
rocky (past women, parents, siblings, etc.).
21. “You’re
the One!” And they say women rush
into things! This is the guy that thinks he found his soul mate after just one
glance at a woman. Two minutes into the greeting and he’s ready to propose. Two
words: Restraining order.
