As a single woman, I have had my fair share of good and bad dating experiences through the years. Unfortunately, for some reason, the past 12 months have been filled with an overabundance of the latter and it has become a source of frustration with me.....the apparent lack of available, quality men remotely close to my age group, from which to choose a potential mate, partner, etc. It's not that I am not putting myself out there to meet people, it just appears that I have some sort of homing signal built in that attracts individuals that do NOT meet the criteria I have established for myself. The majority of bad dates have fallen into the following categories:

The Man Child
A man child is a male who is over the age of 25, who still lives as though he is a juvenile. Many man-children are not gainfully employed, and survive off of the financial support of their enabling parents. Heavy video-game addiction to fantasy games such as World of Warcraft are key to the man-child.
The Lounge Lizard
A ladies-man that frequents night spots where drinks are served. May be part of the live music set, but usually the lizard is at the bar chatting up rich women. Most often seen in a suit that was a fashion statement in the 80s.

The Emotionally Vacuous Man
A man who is emotionally empty or lacks any real concept of what an emotion actually is. To be so self-absorbed that the needs of other people or dependants are never considered before he makes a decision or takes action.
The "Guys Just Want to Have Fun" Man AKA The Player
A male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women by pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex.

The Young, Dumb and Full of Cum Guy AKA The 30K Millionaire
A 30k millionaire is a guy, who makes around 30k a year, usually from working at a window tinting shop, loan office, or an occupation that does not by any means require a college degree. With his pitiful a income, he spends it all on bottles of champagne at clubs, a boat,a nice car, and sometimes a 3-day trip to Vegas, only to be left with nothing in his account by overdraft fees and possibly a pending loan. NOTE: The 30K Millionaire man can also be interchanged with the Lounge Lizard and Player depending on age range.

The "If Only I Were Still Single" Guy
Probably one of the most dangerous guys out there in the dating world. He seems normal, nice, funny and says all of the right things. You think you've potentially met "the one". Unfortunately, this man is all about the thrill of the chase and when he knows he's made a connection, he whips out some story about being unhappy at home and if he were still single, you would be the love of his life. Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit.
