In a previous article about online dating I talked about eight types of women that serious men might want to avoid. Now it’s time for the man list. Actually, you may not want to avoid these men. If you’re not looking for a serious relationship, then this list may not apply to you.

Online dating services will connect you with all types of men. And when used effectively, these services can be wonderfully helpful in finding a match. If you just want to date for fun, you should have no trouble finding plenty of willing men.

But if you’re seeking a long-term relationship, you’ll want to beware of these guys:

Charles Coppercuff
Charles is a king in the business world. And if you’re really lucky, you could become his queen. Everything is about his power and authority over his kingdom. You might be impressed with his take charge attitude at first—especially if you’ve grown tired of wishy-washers.

Sir Coppercuff knows exactly what he wants. The only question is whether you are in fact the fair maiden who can meets his stringent requirements. He’s not a player. He truly wants to settle down and have a family with you. Although, you and the heirs you produce may well suffocate within the gates of the royal compound.

Jag McKool
With Jag, it’s all about his car…and his penthouse…and his huge salary. It doesn’t matter whether he’s good-looking or interesting or funny. He has loads of money, and he knows women will flock to him.

He couldn’t care less about a real relationship. Sure, you’ll be fun to have around for a while. But let’s face it—Jag will never love you as much as he loves his car. And he’ll only love his car until the new model comes out.

Barney Bearbulge
You love the feel of Barney’s large, firm muscles. Hopefully he’s the non-violent type, since he could break you like a twig.

His offer to ‘pump you up’ sounds good. You’ve been wanting to get into shape. So, you start working out with him. Half your dates are at the gym.

Now the two of you stroll along the beach, showing off your hot bods. But will you ever really feel secure about his love? Or will you worry that an even hotter babe will come along and kick away your sandcastle love?

D.O. Already
D.O. has had more than his share of dating disappointments. In fact, he’s already pretty much given up.

If you really like him, and think he has potential, then go ahead—give him mouth to mouth and try to bring him back to life.

Just be sure you don’t accidentally inhale his mummified air.

Ricky Peedia
At first you’re impressed with Ricky’s vast knowledge. It’s fun to show him off at parties—like a new iPhone.

Being with Ricky is like walking around with a human encyclopedia—which is kinda cool…until the first time he makes you look like a fool.

Dane Bestbud
In your online dating profile requirements, you stated “Must Love Dogs.” Well, be careful what you wish for.

Dane does love his dog. He loves him so much that he sleeps with him and French kisses him—in front of you.

However, if this doesn’t bother you, then maybe you two will make a perfect match.

Michael Mystique
His mysterious personality is almost hypnotic. Everything he says has a hidden meaning. You have no idea what he’s talking about, but it sounds cool. You sometimes wonder if he can read your mind.

But when you question him regarding his interest in having kids, he goes off on a tangent about children starving in other galaxies.

After a while you realize he’s never going to give you a straight answer about anything.

Oliver Overhill
He’s a very nice man. You just wish he hadn’t lied in his online profile. He’s way too old for you.

Sure, he’s a kind, caring person. And he’d like nothing better than to take care of you for the rest of his life—however short that life may be.

Perhaps you’d like to quit your job and be a stay-at-home mom. No problem. Oliver would love that.

Just be sure you can handle it when everyone thinks you’re his daughter.

Gil Goldenway
It’s a wonder Gil is even online. A friend or family member must have set up his account, because Gil hates technology.

He refuses to own a computer or even a cell phone. The old phonograph still works great. Who needs a CD player?

Gil believes in honor, faith, strength, and family. You really admire those qualities.

So, go for it, if you really believe you can adapt to his horse and buggy world.
