Ten men a girl should not marry



After many years of observation of assorted couplings among friends, neighbours and relatives, I feel somewhat qualified to offer a practical guide to ladies of marriageable age. Girls, beware of the following types:

1.The Buffer: he spends more time on his appearance than you do on yours! He is so in love with himself, he has little room in his heart for you, let alone children if they should make an appearance.

2.Mama's Boy: when Mom sighs, he runs to her side. He may still live at home, and you will probably end up with him and Mama in your home, should you decide to marry him.

3.The Animal Hater: unless there is a medical reason, such as severe allergies, beware of this character. If he is mean to helpless pets, he is unlikely to be kind and thoughtful when dealing with a spouse, once the initial glow of infatuation has faded.

4. The Miser: he counts change twice. A big date is apt to consist of a burger and a stroll in the park. Unless you wish to shop at Thrift Stores and eat hot dogs for the rest of your life, run like the wind in the opposite direction!

5.The Flirt: he'll say it's harmless, when he flirts with other girls in your presence. He's only being friendly. That nagging sense of unease you feel is your subconscious warning you of danger. Leave him to his games until he grows up.

6. The Controller: wants to know where you are, what you're doing and with whom every minute. He'll be jealous but will say it's only because he loves you so much. Unless you're ready for a heavy-duty collar and leash, move on!

7. The Sphinx: communication is an essential element of a successful marriage. If he refuses to discuss important issues, and pouts for extended periods, leave him a "Dear John" note during the next silent spell.

8.The Fugitive from an Anger Management Class: no one wants to spend their married life contending with temper tantrums from children AND their father. Leave while the going's good!

9.The Sports Nut: he must watch every game of every sport played, every month of the year, either attending in person or watching on T.V. If you finally get fed up and leave, he may never notice until it's time for his next meal.

10.The Mysterious Stranger: he comes from a different culture, is elegant and intriguing. Take your time and get to know him well.Preparing chocolate-covered grasshoppers for his lunch when you're pregnant will not be fun.

However, if you're really and truly in love with one of these of types, none of these conditions is incurable. Run, don't walk to the nearest qualified couples' counselor and get to work. Just be sure to do it before marriage rather than after. The old saying, "Marry in haste, repent at leisure," still holds true.
