"You have probably had a friend who started dating a woman that really made you scratch your head. She was flaky, possessive, and high-drama. Everyone could see that the gal was toxic and really bringing your buddy down…everyone, that is, except your buddy......" Short video also..

Add one important lesson I learned. If all of her boyfriends physically abused her, I will put money on it she is the first one to throw a punch, and the first one to call the cops.
Her's or yours?
she has horses
Your dog is laying there dead next to a half eaten pork chop.
Back in college, I dated a girl twice - and she then sent me 14 Valentine’s day cards - starting Feb. 1, all the way to Feb. 14
It freaked me out. I had to leave the country for a while.
I told him, “She's not my mother”.
For that matter, I was always respectful to my own mother, agreed with everything she said to me, then went and did what I wanted. Exactly the same way I did my mother-in-law.
Worked like a charm. There are some people that it is just not worth getting into it with. Mothers and mothers-in-law top the list.
That tops the list.
"Level Five: Someday I'm gonna marry that girl."
Been there, done that.
Yep, when she doesn’t mind a good “Dutch Oven”, you’re ready to marry.
19. Has history of bizarre violence.
#1-3 was my first wife.
I was good-to-go with the ex for most of the above, but I always noticed that she never leaned over and unlocked my door, after I held the door got her and closed it. Ever. I noticed that and while it wasn't a big deal by itself, it set something a-twitch in the back of my mind.
Turned out she was all take and no give.
“I can’t meet you at Michael’s Pub because it’s within 1000 feet of 2015 Paseo Robles Street.”
Her mom and grandma are single moms.
1. She’s a liberal with a conservative father
2. She has an unusually close relationship with a female friend.
3. She has been fired from a job for lying.
4. She sets up her own computer server in her house to do work
5. You catch her erasing the words “Top Secret” from her work documents
6. When a co-worker who is in trouble calls her for help and she refuses
7. She blames things on YouTube videos.
8. You find a stack of company billing records in her home.
9. Her co-workers die from mysterious circumstances.
My lady and I each violate one rule. I’m not saying which.
I can totally live with that.
The first step, in male-female relationships, is to determine the attraction level. Corey Wayne says if the attraction is below a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10, don't pursue it no matter how hot she looks - your asking for trouble (like the above).
A ten wants to jump in bed on the first date. A nine can't keep her hands off you and says your amazing. An 8 says she wants a date with you. A 7 gives you subtle hints she wants a date. A 6 will go out with you do most things right. A 5 will go out with you only if you do all things right and are Mr. Amazing.
10 through 6 will help you with the conversations; they will laugh at your jokes even if they are not funny. A 5 may not laugh at unfunny jokes but still helps a bit.
Less than this. 1 through 4 won't make good eye contact. The body posture is closed. You get one word answers. They can be crude and even rude.
Don't even think of a relationship until several dates. Your job is to screen out the bad ones before hand. Ladies do this all the time.
Guys need to learn the signals and avoid all the drama from the get go. Gals do this instinctively in the first 10 seconds.
Or you have a horse, and you wake up to this, the morning after she caught you talking with another woman.....
