Tell me is this not me?

"10. She has the evil eye

Whether you are complimenting another female, helping out someone else or simply making small talk, you notice that her blood boils every time you give anyone but her the time of day. It is wrong for you to put your girl in second place, but it is equally wrong for her to have an aneurysm every time you give anyone else attention. This girl is poison and will act immaturely at inappropriate times, make you look like a fool at critical times, and drain your energy. Flush her.

9. She has freaky friends

You look forward to meeting her friends but the fa�ade gets shattered as you realize that they are not the coolest of people (and I use cool here in the "have a pulse" sense). And guys, it is not the quantity of friends that makes someone cool; it's the quality and level of trust, admiration and camaraderie amongst them. If you sense any mistrust, jealousy or envy in her satanic circle, bolt.

8. Jealousy is her middle name

You have no problem admitting that another dude is good-looking and that her friend Bob is funny, yet she has a nervous breakdown when you tastefully mention that a certain woman has nice features, great style or good sense of humor. She is quick to jump to conclusions because "men are this way and that way..." Or are we? Well if we are, go get yourself another one, now.

7. She has no life

You insist that you should have your own lives, your own friends, your own dreams and aspirations, yet you should still share a common bond. This girl wants to be your Siamese twin. Before you know it, she sticks to you like glue and puts a trace on you. Break the silence and let her know that you will not stand for such a sentence.

6. You are her goal

Any woman that only has "finding a man" on her list of aspirations will drain you and lead you to an early grave. Yes, men like faithful women, but we do not need someone who lives and breathes us. Granted, the less confident, controlling and possessive men may, but not the quality men. If you like such women, you should ask yourself some questions, and if you are with such a woman, change this path right now.

5. She is a free agent for life

Before I get blasted: there is nothing wrong with being a single woman, ever, but only if being single is by choice and the woman can get her share of dates. But if you notice that you are the woman's first love interest ever and she has seen John, Paul, George and Ringo perform live, then you may have to ask yourself some questions.

4. She sees everything and everyone as competition

You would think that she is confident enough about your affection for her, but she cannot stand you being with your friends, talking (and I mean only talking) to other women or even occasionally putting your job ahead of her. Despite giving her the world, she seems to doubt and question your true feelings and always brings up frustrating "issues."

3. She blames you for her exes

Yes, some men are bad and some have committed sins. But the same way that thou shalt not blame thy son for his father's sins, men should not get blamed for other men's mistakes. If a woman has previously done wrong, then sometimes (but not always) she should shoulder some of the blame. Blaming, distrusting and attacking you for others' mistakes is a recipe for disaster.

2. She has no respect

Whether she has no respect for you, your friends, your parents, or herself, it's clear that this woman has some severe issues. You know what? I used to get turned on by the idea of improving a woman's life (apologies if this sounds arrogant), but no one can save, rescue or help anyone else, and if she has no respect for herself, then it is a lost cause. Sink her and move on.

1. Her sense of humor is nonexistent

She got all offended by some article about a boyfriend being whipped, even though anyone would see that this was the point of view of the boyfriend's friends, while his true feelings about her appeared in the she's the one article. No sense of humor and no sense of objectivity; no potential for a future.

Ta-da! I know I'm not all of them but a good majority of them sescribe me. BYW, this came from askmen.com and the articles is "Top Ten Signs you're dating a loser"
