I think the comedian Rita Rudner said the best way to get rid of a man is to tell him you love him,want to have his baby,she says they will leave skid marks.
I liked her remark that men are like bears with furniture.

That's my sister's boyfriend; telling her who she can and can't hang out with, where she goes for college, stuff like that. He also verbally abuses her on a daily basis, and the worst part of it is she won't ever leave him. Doesn't make it any better that he actually goes to my university...

My sisters have not had the best of luck with their boyfriends, and I'm hoping to stray away from that path... My parents want me to find a kind and virtuous guy, but I also want him to be patient and understanding with me.

As for the poll... I chose the cheater; relationships built on lies are doomed to fail, plain and simple...

So far, no votes for the man who is "obsessed with marriage." :lol:

I chose to avoid the Mommy's Boy. I don't understand that kind of a person. Their mother's think they are being kind taking care of their little angel's every whim, but they are ruining their son's and turning them into useless, lazy creatures.

A human being should know how to keep a house clean and tidy, understand how a washing machine and an iron work, be able to do basic household repairs and understand how to make themselves nutritious meals regardless of their sex. The mother's who don't teach theirs kid's how to be independent this way are just not people I can deal with.

Same goes for room mates. I've had a very useless female room mate in the past who didn't know how to look after herself because her mother did it all and expected pity from me. I was like, I'm not making your dinner, learn how to cook for goodness sake.

I wonder why "doesn't how to keep a house clean and tidy, understand how a washing machine and an iron work, is unable to do basic household repairs and understand how to make nutritious meals" never showed up in the men's discussion? One would think that these would be important attributes in a lady.

I hate guys who cheat, and like to ignore their partner after a while.

I actually did divorce a man who was the mommy's boy, the cheater, the control freak, and abuser. Yeah, never again.

All of those sound like jerks to me. But the one I hate the most isn't there...LIARS. I'm honest (too much some would say), and I will expect no less for the men in my life. If you can't trust him to tell you the truth, you have nothing.

I chose, "Men obsessed with marriage". I would've chosen the option, "Men who have loud ticking biological clocks" but it wasn't listed. ;)

I hate ironing,mist the clothes with water and toss in the dryer on high for a bit,most of the wrinkles come out.
It's also a good idea to toss the PJs in the dryer for a quick spin before bed,then they are nice and toasty on a cold night.

Ew, those people. Why can't they just stick to controlling stuff in their own lives instead of other people's?

Meh, I just live with the wrinkles. As long as I'm not too smelly. At least I change my underwear and socks every day. Well, most days, anyway.

I got yelled at as a teen because I was fixing to go out in a very wrinkled outfit,I didn't care.The older folks did.Since I rarely have company I have invested in lots of warm fuzzy no wrinkle PJs.Thats what I wear all winter long.But not to town.
I think my ex was so controlling because he had a really wretched childhood,a drunk dad as in an Angela's Ashes type drunk,and his mother had to sell her body to feed the kids.She eventually left but he would not let her take the kids.I think my ex had resentment toward her for leaving him and his sister to deal with it.The other two kids got passed off to relatives to raise.
I think he had to control everything or to him it would spin out of control.I could not even arrange the furniture the way I wanted.He tried to control every aspect of my life.
