5 Guys NOT to Overlook
You're missing out on love by limiting who you'll date.

By Marcus Osborne for GalTime

dating: give these men a chance

It’s no real secret what qualities instantly attract women to a potential long-term partner. Let’s face it, certain guys have a built in advantage. It could be their height, wealth, physical attractiveness, sense of humor or confidence... the bottom line is that some men just have what it takes to immediately attract members of the opposite sex.

And some don't. Here's a fact-- not every woman is going to land her fairytale version of Mr. Perfect. So let's get real ladies... there are many diamonds in the rough out there that some women may dismiss at first glance. But if you give them a chance, you may discover one of these guys is the right match for you.

So, as your straight male friend, I am offering you some viable alternatives to Mr. Perfect. He may not be Bill Gates or Will Smith or George Clooney... but he might still be your perfect partner.

1. The Geek: Of all guy types, I’d say the Geek is the guy with the greatest long-term potential if you’re looking for a provider. Sure, there may be annual trips to San Diego’s Comic Con, a trophy mantle packed with Darth Vader action figures and an extensive collection of Batman hoodies to launder, but you know what? These guys ALSO build startup companies and make boatloads of money. See through his social awkwardness. The Geek offers you smarts, loyalty, sweetness and acerbic wit.

2. The Fast Food Dude: Sure his job isn’t flashy, but hey, dude is holding down a job. And in this economy that’s got to be worth some serious brownie points, right? Some might label this guy as unambitious, but I think that's an unfair generalization. Having a career in the fast food industry could mean this man is willing to take on a job he sees as a means to an end. Perhaps he’s got a grand plan in mind. Maybe he’s interested in owning one of those places. Last I heard, fast food restaurant owners make a pretty nice living. The guy could end up in a corporate office…. or he may simply be ok with the job because it’s just a job and he doesn’t want to live to work. In any case, give the guy a shot. If it’s true love you want, he may offer it in spades.
