So, without further ado, here are my dealbreaker boyfriends…
DB 1. GEEKY RETARD:
It is a complete dealbreaker if your boyfriend is socially inept to the point that he communicates to you through some weird computer codes, or worse, a star wars/trek language. If the most he can come up with is, “my system shuts down every time you walk into the room”, then its time to run. I like guys who are passionate about some thing in life, even if it is about watching some stupid sci- fi movie which was released like four decades ago. But, just because you are not exposed to sunlight since your parents got you internet connection, doesn’t mean you are allowed to say things like “I am shutting down and restarting in diagnostic mode” to indicate that you are in a foul mood. What they need is some rapid course in communication skills and girls, its time to reboot.
And you know what? Anime sucks! You regressed fuckwads, its animated, get over it. Now that I have it off my chest, I feel better.
DB 2. EMOTIONALLY RETARDED:
I know many of us come across such guys. I will admit there are girls who come in this category too but that’s another blog altogether. These species of guys will never ever let their girlfriends know what they are feeling. It’s like they have this in built emotional dumper where they just dump all possible emotions, and I have strong feeling it comes out when they poop. God forbid if they ever smile, get angry, or even upset. All they can muster every time is ‘its all good’. I can get more emotions out of dead cockroach in my bathroom than these guys. It almost makes one feel that this person must be inhuman or something. But no, wait a minute. Just observe this man while watching a football game. Intense emotions pour out which would put even a jihadi to shame. Nothing is more pitiful than to see a grown man cry over men who wear shorts for a living.
DB 3. COMMITMENT PHOBIC:
I have always stated that there is no term called commitment phobia. Its not there in DSM IV and I am not buying it. When a person uses that word, it basically means, they are emotionally obese, whether it’s a guy or a gal. These people are just too lethargic to search deep within themselves for reasons they cannot commit and just label it with something a goodfornothingfucktard term called commitment phobia. I will seriously bite the next person who uses this term. This type of boyfriend cheats. He is designed to cheat. He has already stated that he can’t commit, so he will cheat. He will flirt with your girlfriends, your enemies, your neighbour’s daughter, your neighbour’s wife, even your neighbour’s grandmother. No one is safe. Even if we do confront him about it, hey, he is commitment phobic remember? He is as committed to you, as Britney Spears is to her parenting skills. And don’t even think that this guy will ever settle down with you. Because he will find the stupidest reasons to flake on you and it may involve other girl, other girls or your neighbour’s grandmother.
DB 4. CHEAPSKATE/FREELOADERr:
This type of a boyfriend is such a turnoff, its like watching Pamela Anderson without her boob job (holyfuckinggodNO!). This is the guy who will say things like, “baby, you know I don’t like celebrating Valentines Day, it’s not real. Everyday is valentine’s day for us”. Ok, fucktard, then you owe me 375 roses already. Let’s keep Valentine’s Day out of this. But is it really that hard to get a rose once in six months? That ten rupees investment, just might take you places you know. I admit there are some annoying girlfriends who want to celebrate their monthly and weekly anniversaries; they need to be punched in their babymaker. But I am talking about normal girlfriends here, who’s only demand is some kind of tangible interpersonal validation.
I believe in equality. I believe that a couple should split their bills. I don’t think it’s appropriate for the guy to pay each time. No one should date freeloaders. Period.
DB 5. The OBSESSIVE/CLINGY MONSTERr:
I call this type a monster, because guys belonging to this category are in every sense the scariest people I have ever met. Their over attentiveness is adorable at first, but slowly, it starts consuming you. They are the sorts, who give other guys a bad name. They make breaking up so hard, that they will not only call your best friend and cry to her, but also threaten to kill her in the same call. They are likely to blame everyone else for their failed relationship, but themselves. These guys like to keep their girls on a tight leash, calling every hour, even if she is just attending her watchman’s funeral. On a normal day, they are like the perfect boyfriend, which gives them a creepy Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde kind of air. If your boyfriend insists on checking your cell phone, your emails, your chat history, isolating you from your friends, and tabbing your each and every moment I am afraid, its time to RUN!
This was indeed very much one sided. I would like it if others could give me their input. Anything crazier experienced by anyone???
PS: I would like to thank Mishti, Suku, and Shahnaz for their input.
Disclaimer: No boyfriends were harmed, tortured or killed during the writing of this blog.
I am bored. Seriously.
Ok, I will stop now.
