The 10 ‘Male Types’ You Can Meet Online
The Needy Man
While you’re still in the emailing process, he is already thinking of you as his girlfriend and calls you honey or my girl. He wants to talk with you on the phone or text you constantly leaving you no space for yourself. If you love a good project, he’s perfect for you.
The Motorcycle Dude
Lots of men ride motorcycles even doctors, lawyers, and well-paid businessmen. You’ll be able to tell from his pictures if he’s the kind of man you’d be interested in. Don’t knock him out yet for having this midlife hobby. All you have to do is let him enjoy being an “Easy Rider.” You never have to ride it yourself unless you want to.
Beware of the Ring on His Finger
Most men who don’t post pictures are usually married. These men don’t want their wife’s single friend to spot them so they go on anonymously. Often times, in his profile he’ll admit he’s married and he’ll freely talk about why he’s cruising dating sites in spite of it. I’d stay away.
Flying the Friendly Skies to Date
The biggest drawback to long distance relationships is the illusion and fantasy you build in your mind based on a LOT of phone time you share that might not end up matching reality when you actually meet. Hard to do but can be done and great if you like weekend only relationships.
What He Really Need’s Is A Shrink Not a Date
He’s looking for a dating therapist and will gladly use you for the purpose of working out his issues. Steer clear. Unless you’re being paid money by the hour to listen to his woes, you’ll be so much better off finding a man who’s emotionally healthier.
The Take Out Order Man
Some of the funniest profiles are the men who think Online Dating is like a take out ordering service. They are looking for a specific kind of woman with a specific kind of job, body, hair color and more. I think I’ll stick with men who think I’m great exactly how I am!
Younger Men Online Looking for Cougars
Thanks to Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, younger men are really into older women. It’s great for the ego. Go for it!
The Older Man
Older men are ‘Old School Gentlemen’ who treat you like a lady. Because they grew up with boomers, they often consider themselves part of that culture so you’ll have a lot more in common then you might with the younger men in their 30’s looking for cougars.
The Bad Boy
He’s gorgeous, charming and a major player who will break your heart. He’s always looking for where the grass might be greener. Fun to play with, but not good for long term relationships.
The “Quality Man”
Are you starting to wonder if any good men are even out there? Yes, they are. A “Quality Man” may not be the most handsome man online but he is the nicest and he will do anything for you.
He’s the man who’s interested in what you’re doing. He’s the one who will post pictures of his children and his dog trying to convey a good value about family that you might want to consider.
Lots of “Quality Men” are online and they want nothing more then to be given the opportunity to love you. All you have to do is figure out what a “Quality Man” means to you and decide whether you’d like to date him for a mate or a date. Have fun!

I would suggest an eleventh category:
Younger Men Looking for a Sugar Mama
SOME younger men are looking for a financially stable or well-off older woman who will provide for their every need, sometimes so they don’t have to work another day in their life. As in the case of a younger woman looking for a Sugar Daddy, these guys are willing to play gigalo for a few years, hoping you’ll kick off and they’ll inherit your estate. If they can’t wait that long, they’ll divorce you and “settle” for half of the estate. Then they’ll go looking for the significantly younger woman to impress with all of “their” wealth.
This is a great ELEVENTH category to be aware of. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
I think I’d say “Skip Him!”
Boy you hit that one on the head!!!! I got mixed up with a man and when we finally met, he was married. 🙁
