Maybe you’ve been obsessed with Leonardo Dicaprio ever since you first saw Titanic, or maybe you’re into guys with tattoos like Adam Levine, or maybe you prefer someone goofy, sort of nerdy, like Jason Segel.
So when a guy comes along and fits the description of your perfect Hollywood dream boy, he can be your one true love, right? Wrong. There’s more to a guy than the aura he presents. And when you get a look into the inner workings of your so-called dream guy, you may be sorely disappointed. Don’t let yourself be fooled by charms, good looks and a smoking hot assortment of bedroom moves.
# The mama’s boyHave you been wasting your time dating a guy who literally can’t do anything without talking to his mom first? It’s fine to be close with your family, but if the guy can’t seem to make a move without his mommy’s approval, steer clear!
You should never be made to feel secondary in a relationship, especially if you’re after true love. Think about if you two were to have kids, and how many times he’ll have to call his mom for help and advice because he doesn’t know what to do, and he doesn’t listen to what you have to say because his ‘mom knows best.’ True love doesn’t create any competition or weird feelings.
# The musicianMusical guys are awesome. However, a guy who seems married to his guitar or to his drum set or to his band wouldn’t make for a good boyfriend. They are constantly on the road, picking up various gigs here and there, meeting groupies. Do you want to constantly be worrying about all the girls throwing themselves at your man?
And don’t get me started on the mood swings when he can’t find the right note or the right line to add to his song. You may become his muse, but his true love will always be his music.
# The brainiac
This is the guy who thinks he knows everything, and is always right. This is possibly a nerd who is obsessed with some esoteric scientific topic, and it’s hard trying to even have a normal conversation. Maybe what you thought was cute and unique in the beginning, is now actually just impossible and a bit strange, and you realize you do not see yourself growing old with someone like him.
Think of someone like the character, Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, can you imagine dating someone like him? It can be really exhausting.
# The comedianHave you been dating a guy because you
think he’s funny and he can make you laugh? If so, wonderful, but what
else do you like about him? The problem with this guy is that usually
they love being the center of attention. So much so, that if you go out
to eat with a group of friends, you’ll eventually find him standing up,
putting on a “performance.”
The worst part is that there may be
times when you want a serious conversation, but he just inserts a witty
one liner that will completely ruin the mood.
# The cheater
There
are so many people in this Universe, and you have so many options and
people to meet, that you should not waste a single second with a guy who
cheats on you. You need to get out there girl, meet and mingle with men
who think before they act, and who treat you with the respect you
deserve. If you stay with this guy, you will never have true love, but
you will have a very broken heart.
# The banker and/or real estate dealer
These guys are full of empty promises and usually are very good at telling lies. They may be able to offer you a good life, but as quickly as they are able to put you up, they are just as easily able to put you down. These guys are constantly looking for the next best thing: the next house to flip, the next stock to invest, and this means that they have a habit of looking at relationships the same way. For your reference, check out The Wolf of Wall Street.
Sure, you might be the beautiful mansion today, until a newer, more updated one comes along. These guys are constantly playing games, telling people what they want to hear, and you are no exception to their rules. Their fixation on the next best material thing can really take its toll on your relationship.
