The Man Types

When dating, have you found yourself categorizing men by these types? Of course, all men are deeper than first impressions. But first dates could lead you to these stereotypes. Most guys are a combination taking good and bad qualities from several guy types. Mix and match!

The worst combo? my vote for the Svengali and the Suavinator. Women, you have no chance with this one.

1. The Sports Guy

You know him. Lost on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Can't find him during March Madness, or the world series, or that February day. Usually an ex jock who still identifies with past glories, or an over obsessed fan.

2. The Middle Earth Guy

Frodo lives. Still plays D and D. Can't get enough of Star Trek, Star Wars, Angel, or Buffy. Dresses up for Holloween.

3. The Factoid Guy

Loves statistics. Super careful. The accountant type. Loves math. Balances his checkbook.

4. The Sales Guy

Rah-Rah. Over enthusiastic to a fault. Never gives up to close the deal. Can't take no. Always goes the one more.

5. The Suavinater

Think Barney from that CBS show (HIMYM). The martini. The champagne. The chocolates. Roses. Vegas. The lounge lizard. Knows how to succeed in dating without really trying.

6. The Svengali (see below!)

Controlling, manipulative. Has a way of getting his way.

7. The GI Joe

Never fear, Underdog is here! Ex or current military, police, or fireman. Knows how to keep his cool in an emergency.

8. The Cool Dude

Ski bum. Surfer guy. Snowboarder deluxe. Loves the cool stuff of the moment. Nature guy.

9. The Slacker

Lives with his mother. Dead end job. Lacks initiative.

10. The Nervous Nellie

Worries about everything. Anal retentive. Obsessive. Felix Unger. John Cryer's character from Two and a Half Men.
