I bet one of your parents told you that you would never meet anyone nice in a barÉ.
Well, I beg to differ! I'd always heard you should meet someone in the grocery store or the library or even church. Please!!! I don't know about you but when I go to the store, I'm usually in a hurry, which could give you clues as to the way I'm dressed! Most of the time I'm praying I won't see anyone I know!
As for the lady over there buying two zucchinis (one to eat, of course), would you really want to take her home to mom? I can't imagine trying to look sexy by standing there squeezing vegetables or fruit well, yeah, maybe I can, but let's not go there!
As for the library or other such activities, I only wish I had more time for those. With the computer of today, you can get most of that from your armchair. I suppose you can even meet people online, but we know what often happens in that scenario.
So why can't you meet a decent girl? Or even an indecent one, which might be ok, but hopefully not some psycho bitch from Planet Possessive? Maybe you are choosing the wrong type. Obviously, there isn't just one type of girl that is perfect for any guy. Miss Perfect does not exist. There are certainly plenty of fish in the sea and no two are exactly alike. SheÕs out there, so keep looking.
However, there are certain types of women that should be avoided at all costs, unless you crave a major headache. For instance, steer clear of the "Club Veteran" who's been hitting the bar scene since they hit the legal drinking age, as well as the "Mystery Date" who tries to mystify you with their elusiveness. Watch out for these other types of women who can make your dating dreams turn to intense anxiety!

Types of Women To Avoid

The Weeper
This is the type of woman that may have good intentions, but weeps over spilled milk on a TV commercial. Worse scenario, she pops the snot out of you for just trying to calm her. Of course, some girls fake this act at one time or another because they grew up as spoiled as a fifty year old sack of potatoes. She always gets what she wants. Well, this one really is a sea of emotion, and if you find yourself constantly trying to find a tissue, it may be time to back out, unless you have super healing powers!

The Yacker
The first thing you notice? Talky, talky, talky! Shut up already! This is the type that will tempt you to smack her just once! Although this type will definitely slap you back. She'll drive you mad with her never-ending dialogues about absolutely mundane things! The worst type is the one whose favorite subject is "herself"! God help you when she drinks alcohol! Better ask yourself will you ever get a chance to speak? I doubt she'll give you time to complete a whole sentence! Break it off real quick or you'll be wishing you were deaf!

The Stage Hog
Oh boy! This one must be the center of attention at all times, no matter whom you're with. Your friends, your family, or even your dog! Here are some of her techniques: Talks loudly, tells "exciting stories" with lots of gestures, or wearing provocative outfits that will surely get her noticed! Although some men enjoy women with lots of personality, this type of woman can be exhausting cause she's always putting on a show! Better make a hasty exit and stage left quick!

The Gold Digger
Fortunately, you can spot this one coming from a mile away. She compliments you on your expensive watch, then your cologne. Next she asks you, "What do you do for a living?" "What kind of car do you drive?" "Where do you live?" You get the picture. Usually quite attractive but she's sizing you up within the first fifteen minutes. This chick is high maintenance and looking for someone to provide all the candy. Next thing you know, you're financing her new breast enhancements (she says she's doing it for you). Now it's too late! Regardless of your financial status, how can you possibly keep up? She's gonna dig till you're dry!

The Leech
This type wants to spend every waking moment with you and refuses to share you with anyone. She does not want you to go out with the boys and she never stops trying to reach you no matter where you go. Even her e-mails are approaching overload! Now you've given her your phone number and she calls five times a day and tracks you down! You can't run! You can't hide! You even carry your cell phone into the bathroom cause you might miss her call. Well, now it's timeÉtell your pals to please intervene! Your friends remember them? Well, they remember the "old" you.

The Bimbo
Yes, she's beautiful and has a hot body, but is the conversation really that stimulating? Most men will welcome the opportunity for a fling with this type at least once. Admit it, you don't have to try too hard to be overly intelligent to impress her. But if you find yourself wanting to tell her to just "smile and nod" every time she opens her mouth, yep, she's a bimbo! And when it comes to a serious relationship, you'll soon be asking yourself, "What is the meaning of "dense?"

The Master Debater
This chick makes it her hobby to argue about absolutely everything! We suppose she's trying to prove her intelligence, but what a turnoff! She has mastered this technique of bringing up past arguments and topics, which have nothing to do with the issue at hand. The more involved you get, the more she may try to make you feel guilty about everything you do or say! So if you feel tense every time you're with her, wondering how you ever got into this situation, now's the time to run in the other direction. You're about to be kicked in the nuts!

The Mother Goose
This one is determined to "fix" you up! As if you haven't been doing it right all by yourself. If she wants to help you fix your hair, change your wardrobe, buy you new shoes, you're the next victim of a "Mother Goose!" Next she wants to get you in her yoga class, try the newest health vitamins, encourage you to quit all your nasty little habits and make you her new science project. She may have good intentions but these motherly instincts will become rather annoying real soon. You'll never pass the test and you'll leave feeling more frustrated than ever! Send "mother" packing! Unless, of course, you're really needy, in which case she might be the right girl for you!

They Ain't All Bad
But not everything is all black and white. Keep in mind that many women may show more than one trait listed above and still be great girlfriend material. If your girlfriend gets a little teary-eyed over something trivial, don't be convinced that she's "The Weeper!" It's no big secret that most women tend to be more emotional than men.
This just means that you should simply watch out for the types that take things to the extreme and make you miserable. Bottom line. if your unhappy more often than your satisfied, time to hit the road Jack!
