It's Raining Men. And They're All Losers.
When will this incessant downpour ever end?
It’s pouring buckets of man-boys:
• Boy unemployed lawyers who were only employed seven months in their lifetime, taking handouts from Mom and Dad, sleeping in the same 32-year-old twin bed, you know, cause he is still waiting to hear back on his resume from the U.N.
• Boy employed babagounash neighbor lawyers telling me they are looking for a serious relationship one day and the next, walk some girl he brought home to her car in front of my window, whileI am checking email and having coffee.
Let’s digress with babagounash…this is also the boy lawyer who took me to grab a Starbucks coffee only to have the barista ask, “Two of the usual?” Him responding, “Um, no, just one.” And the barista looking at me only to say, “Oh yeah, wrong girl.” Classic.
• Narcissitic man-boy real estate tycoons more concerned with finding a good plastic surgeon for his love handles, whether or not to get highlights, and picking up his three $2000 suits, all while I’m stuck in bed with a 103-degree fever.
Will the sun ever shine again?
Please feel free to share your man-boy story!
Don't worry....I have more...but, I'll save those for another rainy day.
Josie-
O my goodness! Tired of man-boys! I have been with my boyfriend for 6 years. Yes, 6 years. When we met he was working in Arizona. It was amazing! We traveled, rode motorcycles everywhere, it was us against the world! I was on the road a lot for work, so every time we were together it was a honeymoon.
2 years ago, he decided to move back to his hometown - move in with his parents. I insisted we get an apartment. However, I was still traveling alot and he said (yes - love it) "we can save some money this way"
A year later his mother and I were ready to kill each other! She refused to touch my underwear when she picked up and did his laundry (they would get wrapped up together sometimes). So I stopped wearing them - wonder if she figured that out! She was mad because I didnt recycle, left crumbs on her $12000 Ethan Allen couch and stumbled around in the morning like the night of the living dead. Sorry, I am not chipper and beautiful in the morning.
Now, she has decided to convince my man - her son- that he needs a wife who will be barefoot and pregnant. She specifically told me that when you love someone you give up EVERYTHING for them. Um, what is he giving up? Sounds to me like he would be getting a slave.
When we met there was no doubt that I was clear about what I wanted. I want to travel, be successful in my career and enjoy life to the fullest. I think I even told him on our second date that I dont want kids.
Now he wants kids, and he wants me to quit my job and be a stay at home mom. So I will be a stay at home mom with an MBA in New York when my family is in Mass.
YEAH no thanks! Maybe he should marry his mom?

I dont know what it is about about some Moms...its like a riegn of power they have over their sons. Ive been there myself so I know how you feel. I dated this guy who lived a a few minutes a way from him but she did everything..Cooked for him, brought his shirts to the dry cleaning, Come to his house to clean it. Eve cleaned out his sock drawer!And he was at her beck and call( moderation of this is fine but we are talking extremes here) He also had an attitude that he could do no wrong...A by product no doubt of the constant pampering he received his whole life. Needless to say it did not work out since i refused to worship him like the king his mother created.
A lot of times its a cultural thing, she probably brought him up the way boys were treated in her family..but it does produce very selfish behavior thats hard to deal with.
Maybe this is just a temporary stronghold his mom has since he moved back home and it will change when he leaves.

You are FABULOUS!
Ahh....yes. Some men should marry their mother.
I am sorry your super fantastic man turned out to be a mama's man-boy.
Heavy sigh...
i give you tons of credit for TRYING.
You have character! Spunk! Ambition!
Keep reminding yourself - and, follow your heart (and head).
On the flip-side, I am always willing to give up things....as long as I am duly compensated....3 carats worth is a good start.
Stay true - and keep me posted!

I hear ya..Society today allows a lot of the have cake and eat it too mentality. I went on a two dates with this one guy First date was great, on the second date he was telling me what to do what not to do(that wonderful mixture of condescending and controlling) He then stated how hes seeing somone else but really wants to keep this thing going(thing? 2 dates makes a thing?) and how bout me and his kids all go out to dinner the next day?
SCREECH! Talk about your double threat! I had only known him a total of 4 hours by that point !!!!You can say he was honest( Ill just leave it at that adjective really want to put in a choice noun there lol)which is exactly what I said to him as I made up and excuse to leave.

Ladies, ladies... I think we need to start a man-boy club....or mama's boy club to induct all the douche bags of the dating world.
Thank you for sharing your stories and I am sorry you had these dirtbag experiences.
Come back and share again!

How about boy who says he's a bartender but really is a stripper, living at home with his father, andhas a suger momma that financially supports him!
It's sad but nice at the same time to know I'm not the only one out there dating the same losers

Welcome, Nic!
Ahh...a stripper....nice!
I have dated that, too.
This guy was hot as hell, but dumb as a bag of rocks.
He was a "former" stripper, you know, "he did it for the money", and now he is a X-ray technician.
Go figure.
Needless to say, it lasted only about five dates.
You are not alone, love.
Talk soon!

Do not consider yourself naive, but rather lucky!
