Types
Dating is difficult. This is something we all must come to terms with. I haven’t been dating for very long but here are the types of guys I have encountered. This only rings true for me I am in no way saying all guys are like this.
The Unenthusiastic “Musician”– Not to be confused by the “serious musician”, this type of guy doesn’t see himself really as a musician. He probably started playing because it was the “cool” thing to do and saw it as an opportunity to impress people. He has no ambition to actually play in a band. He just jams with like minded dudes who wear skinny jeans and chucks and wear their hair long because it makes a statement of being a rebel. This gets old.
The Video Gamer/Anime Otaku- This one can actually be quite annoying/scary. You don’t ever want to date someone like this. Unless you are equally into anime and video games as he is or if there is a healthy balance and he isn’t obsessed with hentai. If he is just a normal video gamer then that might be ok, but be careful because they can be tricky.
The Asexual- He is the type who doesn’t know what he wants. I mean, ok well most guys don’t know what they want but I will say this is more true for this particular breed. He is sort of like a robot and doesn’t really understand feelings. I feel as though he just goes with the flow because he thinks it’s what he should be doing.
The Writer- He is the kind of guy who will say bizarre things in hopes of shocking you. He’s also the type who will expect you to marvel at his literary genius. He wants you to read his work and express your opinions about it…but only if it is helpful. If you’re not prepared to offer a thorough critique then don’t bother expressing it because he won’t listen to it. When it comes to writers you also have to keep in mind that it also depends on the type of writer you have. Stay away from poets and screen writers. Actually I’ve decided to stay away from writers altogether.
I think I am almost done with the “Creative” guy category. All I need is maybe a photographer or a film student…maybe even a chef? It is difficult dating an artist. But I see myself as a nerdy creative type girl and therefore require that in a guy. Pffft. We shall see what the next guy brings. Also I want to thank everyone for being so supportive in my last post, I promise I won’t keep updating such bitter posts.

Kim, take all the “bitter” time you need. We totally understand what’s going on, as many of us have been there. As you write these posts, I’m sitting here nodding my head and blurting the occasional “MMMMHM!” in agreement with what I just read. I officially consider myself a loyal reader of this blog, and I’m just glad to see you posting, regardless of how bitter it is.
I think you nailed those descriptions. Video gamers are the freaking worst! From my experience, they only want a girlfriend because their friends will think it’s cool. But all they can do is play video games while you’re sitting on the couch thinking “ummm, THIS is our date?” They’re nice, but dating them is a nightmare!
But whatever you do, DO NOT date a screen writer! I did that once, and it ended less than a week later with a rather loud argument in the street in front of his house. He was literally trying to create a scene from a movie, cheesy dialogue and all.

@Kristen, I think that is what the last guy was doing with Kim. Only dating her to create a story for his boring life!!!

@Mija, EWWWWWW. I know it sucks, but I’m glad all of this happened before she got more attached. He sounds like quite the arse-fart and she deserves sooo much better.

[…] I want to give a shout out to my lovely younger sisters Kat and Kim. Kat just turned 19 and I am extremely proud of her. Speaking of proud, read Kim’s post about why guys can be weak over here. […]

Don’t worry about sounding bitter…you are upset right now and it’s understandable.
Interesting – and accurate – descriptions. “The Writer” reminds me of those guys at coffee shops who glare at you if you stand within 10 feet of their table (which you must do if the place is crowded enough), as if you’re trying to look at their laptop and steal their screenplay/novel.

@Robin, XD Yeah, that’s why I never considered myself a “writer”. Just someone who enjoys writing. And yeah they can be pretty paranoid.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
