  1. Anyone who has claimed to be an Alpha male
  2. Anyone who has ever uttered Not All Men.
  3. Any man who demands 50/50 everything. This always means the woman is going to go through hell once children are involved. ALWAYS.

i met a mature man (60s) recently who told me he has a dread fear of needles. I asked what happens if his GP asks for a sample of blood to be drawn. He told me he has to ask for a double appointment to ‘put him at ease’ (along these lines).

I know we all have our quirks and foibles, and people’s phobias are wide and varied, but this was not attractive. Oh c’mon, don’t be such a giant baby.
