The man whore

Anything in a skirt including Scottish dancers is in his menu. The end clearly justifies the means for this man. He has no care for quality and lost respect for himself far too long ago for him to remember what a reputation means. He goes from skirt to skirt without discrimination and his hallmark attribute is that he has no standards whatsoever. He is a favourite of many a woman because he does not enforce strict guidelines of selection as most other men do. You are never too ugly, too fat, too thin, too emotional, too crazy, too sad or too much of whatever for him to lay beside you in your bed.

Now, as good as he has been to you; he belongs to everyone and no one in particular. He is a wonderer. Enjoyed for the moment and then locked in the vaults of memory forever more.

The womanizer

Control, control and more control. If you have ever dated a possessive, ultra-jealous and controlling man then you have dated a womanizer. At first you take his interest in every facet of your life as charming and truly caring. That is until he starts smothering and bothering you. Where you go, who you see, what you wear, what hour you get in, what hour you get out, your choice of company, your hang out spots... every bit of you is dissected by his very intrusive eyes and you cannot go and pee without his permission.

You are his and only his and he will treat you as such. I am not going to even go into the scary prospect that is the emotional turbulence that prompts this kind of behaviour but he is a truly broken man inside and these problems manifest themselves in this control based behaviour. You have a real problem in your hands. I am not saying that you should never date this man, I am merely pointing out that he requires a lot more effort than most.

The good thing about this kind of man unlike most of the other men on this list is that he is more often than not focused on a long-term relationship. Short-term stints do not appeal to him as he cannot enforce the level of control that makes him comfortable with you.

The Lady’s man

Have you ever met a guy who is liked by 99% of all women? Often blessed with good looks and possessing impeccable manners through good upbringing, he immediately invokes an aura of long-term commitment in women. The image he portrays is one that ticks all or most of the ‘perfect husband’ criteria.

Never mind that he is probably one of the most selfish guys you have very met in your life. You see everything he does is actually for himself. Anything to preserve that precious image he has. You will find that he really cares about what you feel, only because he wants to avert any negative feelings you might have of him that you may expose to his adoring public. Very often, he is such a giving lover often so selfless in the bedroom but that’s only to strengthen the image that you put out there of him. Everything he does is really about him but he does it in such a considerate and caring manner you believe that all this is for you.

Most of these guys have been the subject of female attention for a while and having been exposed to women for so long they know the right buttons to press. They know how to handle their women. As gorgeous as he may be, as caring and considerate and sweet he may be, as well liked he may be by your friends and family, you are dealing with a PR campaign not a boyfriend! That precious image is what matters most to him.

Is he a long-term target? The thing with guys playing for the public gallery is that what the public wants he gives them. If the public want a loving husband, that is exactly what he will give them. So while he may walk you down the aisle and do everything a model husband does, his image is the reason and not you. A truth that is much easier to live with for many women!
