  • Hit The Road, Jill: The 10 Types of Women That Men WON'T Marry

    I was reading a piece Samantha Daniels wrote for HuffPost about the 10 types of women that men DON'T want to marry the other day. I would consider myself a fairly introspective person so I was going through and seeing if any of the descriptions applied to me. Here I've listed a couple of examples of the undesirable types that men will not marry (according to Daniels):

    Miss "Bossy Pants": This woman usually can't help herself; she has bossy in her DNA. When a man first meets her, he might think this character trait is cute, for awhile. However, once he starts to feel like he is in grammar school being told what to do by his second grade teacher, he will give this woman her walking papers.
    Miss "I Live For You And I Have Nothing Else Going On": This woman is very difficult for a man to date, let alone marry. At first, he is flattered that she is so into him, but very quickly, he feels overwhelmed and suffocated by her. As a woman, you must have something going on in your own life so that you are not just waiting by the door for him to come home.

    Miss "I Have Daddy Issues": This woman usually dates older men and deep down is looking for a father figure, not a boyfriend or husband. Initially, her guy might like how she looks to him for approval and the answer to all of her questions, but soon, he realizes that he wants to have sex with a real woman, not someone who is stuck in her teen years trying to get Daddy to notice her.

    These three examples stuck out to me personally because I think components of them apply to me in one way or another. In terms of bossy, I wouldn't consider myself bossy, but I do think I am an extroverted person who knows exactly what she likes, knows how to get things done, and is very decisive. I have a fairly dominant personality at times that I'm sure can come off as bossy at times, of course I don't mean it to!

    In terms of living for my significant other, I don't do that. But I absolutely try to help my boyfriend to grow and prosper as much as possible, and that means I help him in any way that I can, even if it means sacrificing something that I may want at the time. I try to support him in any way that he needs me to! In regards to the daddy issues, my parents divorced when I was 2 and I haven't spoken to my father in over 4 years, so you could say I have daddy issues if you really wanted to.

    You'll have to read the rest of the article to see if any of the examples describe you! Let me know what you think! What are some qualities in a person that would absolutely turn you off to committing to them long-term? She also did a piece about the 10 Types of Men Who Won't Marry.

  • I won't marry a woman who can't keep up with me intellectually on some level. Or a fundamentalist Christian.

  • I'm turned off by people who have really rigid beliefs about gender roles. But that's fine. I probably turn them off, too.

  •          it is disgusting to me that people still believe there is room in the world for sexist crap like that.but i suppose that's what you get for delving into the realm of the shit of bulls....

  • This is interesting. I wanna go see it now.

  • I really hate articles like this. They're gross generalizations, and you can't narrow people down like that. Besides that, there are PLENTY of men who marry bossy women, needy women, women with daddy issues, and worse, and you know why? Not because they're gluttons for punishment, but because women, just like men, are complex and have more aspects to their personalities than just their negative traits. I hope nobody takes these silly articles too seriously, because they're overflowing with ignorance and oversimplification, and as we all should know by now, there is nothing simple about human relationships. Which is exactly why I prefer to hang out with dogs.

  • I probably will never marry because of severe health issues but if it was on the agenda for my life I would never marry a "chatty cathy" a woman who talks non stop and i would marry a woman who loves to write  because I love to write and writers should only marry other writers ditto fot musicians and actors nobody else understands our need to be creative.
