The Men Who Won't Marry You: Part Deux

6.  Mr. "50-Something And Never Been Married": This guy is lurking everywhere. He is 50-plus and never married, yet he will swear to you that he is ready. When you ask him why he is still single, he will tell you it's because he hasn't met the right one. Then the question becomes that if he hasn't found her in the hundreds of women he has dated before you, what is going to make you so special that you are going to be his one? Probably nothing.  

Robyn:  Amen, Samantha!  In addition, I would question what's amiss with HIM that has made numerous women run for the hills?

7.  Mr. "Doesn't Believe In Monogamy": This guy thinks he is very avant-garde progressive, but most people will say he is just looking for an excuse to cheat. Do you really want to be with a guy who tells you upfront that he won't be faithful? 

Robyn:  I say HELL no.  You're much too fabulous to have share this little boy.

8.  Mr. "All About Me": This guy is all about himself, 24/7, 365 days a year. Sharing your life with someone is hard enough, so do you really want to sign up to be with someone who is so into himself that they will never even notice you, your wants and your desires? 

Robyn:  A guy who focuses only on himself is an insecure man.  In order to make himself feel better about what's lacking within him, he puts on a facade to pretend he's "God's gift."  You do NOT want an insecure, self-absorbed partner.

9.  Mr. "My Kids Are The Only Thing I Care About": This guy is a tricky one. When you first meet him, he is endearing because you admire how dedicated he is to his children. You think to yourself that you would like to be with a man who is that responsible. However, then you start to see that he doesn't have any room for you at all because he is only about the kids. If you are going to be with a man with kids, he needs to want to find a place for you, front and center, in his life at least some of the time.  

Robyn:  Sorry, Samantha, I disagree with you on this one.  A man who really wants a healthy relationship with a woman will find more time to be with her.  He will trip over himself to schedule alone time with her.  It is unhealthy for any parent to make their children the center of their universe.  If you marry this kind of person, you will NEVER be first in his life.  And I do mean never.

10.  Mr. "Dates Other Women Who Mean Nothing To Him": This guy is really a commitment-phobe in disguise. Why does he need to date women who mean nothing to him if he is dating you and you supposedly mean something to him? You do the math. 

Robyn:  A guy who dates other women who mean nothing to him is including you in that statement.

What other types of men would you add to this list?
