I just stumbled upon this article in Mercatornet today, and found out that it's been up for a few months already! Where have I been? This is an article article about how women can find the right man for them. Written by Australian teacher, author, and motivational speaker Jonathan E. Doyle and Tamara Rajakariar, it's an easy-to-read Q&A that helps young women navigate through today's highly sexualized culture and come out happy and unscathed (and with a good man, too, hopefully!) in the end. Here's an excerpt--Doyle's tips on spotting what he calls the "man-boy," or the guy girls should not date.
The man-boy is pretty easy to spot. Here are a few tell-tale signs:
1. He lives at home after about 25 years.
2. He is frequently angry and blames others for his anger.
3. He spends large amounts of time playing computer games.
4. He has problems with pornography.
5. He lies, often.
6. He is unsure about career, marriage and fatherhood.
7. He wants sex as soon as possible in the relationship.
8. He has a poor or non-existent relationship with his own father.
9. He is the centre of his own universe.
10.He has problems with alcohol or other substances.
11.He is sexually unfaithful and blames either the situation, women or alcohol for his own choices.
12.He lacks a clear and compelling life vision.
Now, where can I get a copy of this book?
