Relationship expert Samantha Brett writes in the Sydney Morning Herald about marriage material and the seven types of men who aren’t. When it comes to choosing a life partner, some guys just don’t make the cut. So here’s our list of the seven types of men who are NOT marriage material, according to the ladies:
The prodigal son: “How a guy treats his family is a very good indicator of how he will treat you,” says actress Hansika Motwani. “For me, a guy who doesn’t respect his parents and doesn’t have a good relationship with his siblings is a guy I cannot consider as a potential life partner,” she adds.
The cheat: “Loyalty is the one thing every woman wants,” says MC Divya Vithalani. “A relationship is based on trust so if a guy is dishonest or disloyal, it just cannot work out. I believe anything else can be sorted out, but you can’t compromise on this.”
The self-centred narcissist: “A guy who is just full of himself is a definite no-no for me,” says model Apoorva Vishwanathan. “Such a person would always put himself first. I think it would be difficult to consider him even boyfriend material.”
The insecure guy: “A guy who is insecure, whether it’s because of his girlfriend’s good looks or her successful career, is not a good prospect,” feels salsa dancer Sneha Kapoor.
The workaholic: “We women always find enough time to devote to everything — professional and personal. So a guy also has to get his priorities right and make time for the things that matter,” says Apoorva.
The mysterious man: He’s the one who hasn’t introduced you to his friends even months after you got together. “A girl expects that a guy will introduce her to his friends and eventually, his family too. If not, something is definitely wrong,” says Sneha.
The pessimist: A man who’s always prophesying doom, doesn’t expect love or marriage to last. Better yet, he doesn’t expect to make it to this list!
