    5 Types of Women Who Get Dumped

    It's official: The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi are a couple. Now, we're not saying Tenley falls into one of these categories, but we got men to reveal the five types of women who practically ask to be booted.

    Should Jake have picked Vienna?


    1. The Dryer Sheet.
    She clings to her guy so tightly that no matter where he goes or who he's with he can't shake her loose. Guys crave freedom, so a Dryer Sheet chick can suffocate a man's style. Even if he tells you that he loves spending time with you or wants you around, consider backing off when you don't have to.

    2. The Nutcase.
    She heavily flirts with dudes in front of her guy to rile him up and likes screaming at him in public for things like making her go home after she passed out at the bar.
    Men hate drama and don't want to feel like they're in an episode of "The Hills." No matter how fired up you are about something, keep your cool. Or else...!

    3. The Full Discloser.
    She tells her beau about her menstrual cycle, the eating habits of her three cats, and how many guys she's slept with since losing her virginity at 17. It's nice to feel like your boyfriend is a best friend, but a little mystery goes a long way. There are just some things you should never tell him.

    4. The Drama Queen.
    She constantly tests her beau by threatening to break up with him. Then when he tries to dump her, she has a meltdown in the middle of the restaurant. This type sounds similar to The Nutcase, but is more emotional, rather than just psycho. If you feel like your relationship is a rollercoaster, consider analyzing why you go through these torturous, insecure moments. Chances are, you just need a little reassurance that your guy cares about you. Be upfront with your man and tell him you need consistent reassurance and affection. Find out the 8 love truths every girl must know!


    5. The Timekeeper.
    There's never enough "our time" for her; she pouts when her guy is with friends or works overtime. This type is similar to The Dryer Sheet, but can be more manipulative. How often do you give your guy guilt trips? If you're in the habit of keeping watch of his every move and getting upset when you're not numero uno on his priority list, you could be a Timekeeper. Busy yourself with other projects, honey.

      Wow. This article--and Cosmopolitan magazine in general--is the epitome of nonsense. Whoever wrote this clearly must be crying themselves to sleep at night because they never landed a REAL journalism job. Loser!

      Let's not forget the "plays hard to get" type, who thinks her twa- is lined with mink, and expects her guy to come crawling back after every insult because "she's soooo good." Chances are she goes to Miami over Christmas/Hannukah break, and is the only one with a "tan" in the middle of November. Oh, and she's named "Mindy," or "Mandy," and won't date any guy who doesn't drive a sports car and lives in Cedarhurst. And then they get furious when they find out we lied.

      "After I graduated summa cum laude from Columbia in International Studies, I needed a change of direction, so I graduated first in my class from the Pitt dental school, and then went on for my PhD at Yale med school, before I got my JD from Harvard law."

      That guy doesn't exist, even though your mother tells you he does. He's like the the 21 year old PhD, who's a Viet Nam veteran, with 12 years experience. Good luck, "Mandy/Mindy". Settle for a guy who can do the NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle in an hour or less. Even if the "theme" is sixteenth century Dutch painters. Don't be so shallow.
      Maybe he lays brick, but he'll be a better man than the guy who's mommy and daddy gave him the 'vette.

      Your comment said it all you must be on The Hills or on Tv or a Celebrity to be a pathetic label. Rule of thumb if you are not planning to get married, don't date. Dating is for serious and mature minded individuals who want to be in a committed relationship. Stop looking so desperate. It's pathetic. Besides Immaturity is Obvious when you want a Barbie and Ken themed birthday party when you are 29 years old.. Grow up hag! No wonder he ran the other way.
    • JessicaC  •  2 years 10 months ago
      There's also the one's who throw them selves Barbie themed birthday parties at age 29. I would have dumped Jessica as well. Grow up girl.
    • Joan  •  2 years 10 months ago
      I amso tired of your advice to the celebrities.
      This article is like so many that I keep harping on ...on Yahoo.
      We are real people out here...we're NOT Hollywood.
      GET REAL. We Are .
    • Aj  •  2 years 10 months ago
      Yeah I agree, but hey there are men who love all 5 of those types of women and will leave a good girl for one of these silly women! I know plenty of guys that go for the drama girl after not loving the faithful sensible lady just because that drama one did "THINGS" that the lil good girl did not do!

      But I am kinda glad Jess and Tony are not together I did not think they were a good fit anyway. Jess needs a guy like her ex, and Tony needs a tough gal with a kickin attitude, someone from good old Texas.
    • yo  •  2 years 10 months ago
      Hmmm... well if you got it flaunt it. Girlfriends if your man is not paying attention, honey find another one. They want a loyal woman, then
      they pay the price.

      If men want their cake and eat it too, they sure can, and so can we.

      C'est la vie!
    • PaulS  •  2 years 10 months ago
      this is why we love women...they come in all shapes an sizes lol
    • Kanae  •  2 years 10 months ago
      Well, I guess Tony finally realize he needed a real women. Anyway, just happy to hear he is a bachelor again. Oh well, Jessica, I guess you weren't the right one. Tony, you are thinking clearly. Hey Tony, hope to see you at Joe Cotton's Bar-B-Q, someday.
    • Jett  •  2 years 10 months ago
      I don't think it's fair to lump all women who tend to get dumped into five categories like this. What about The Spender (doesn't know how to save, forces her man to work for her, so she can pad her own wardrobe — I actually know someone like this...and he MARRIED her!) or The Non-committal Date (can't make up her own mind about where to go — the old, "I don't know, what do YOU want to do?" scenario.)

      Most women (or men for that matter) don't fall into only one category. This article sounds like the one Kate Hudson's character in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" was writing about. If you exhibit all 5 of the above characteristics, watch out. You'll be kicked to the curb by next week.
    • swphome  •  2 years 10 months ago
      Yup... to ALL of the above.

      And, by your comment, PopIconography04, my I safely assume that you are none of the above?
    • specialty  •  2 years 10 months ago
      i'm probably a little of the discloser and the timekeeper. I can't help if i love him so much and like being in his company but i'm starting to be able to let him go without getting so sad about it but i definitely have to occupy myself though. As for the discloser part i do tell him a little too much sometimes and he's told me this before but then he said that he likes that i don't hold back. He knows he's getting the real deal from the get-go.
    • Rowdygirl  •  2 years 10 months ago
      If he wasn't planning on marrying her, then he did her a favor. He could have done the marriage thing, and then cheated. She's better off now, instead of later.
      If a guy doesn't know FOR SURE that he's ready to commit, then he needs to get out before he causes permanent damage. If more people, men AND women, did this there would fewer divorces.
    • martza  •  2 years 10 months ago
      i think im the full disclosure one ive told and stil my boyfrind everything i dont think its a bad thing.
    • Bregtany  •  2 years 10 months ago
      im not any of those types and my ex still broke up with me..so yeah this is stupid.
    • JoKTM  •  2 years 10 months ago
      Jessica got dumped because she bought Tony a boat for his b-day and he didnt want to compete. Remember you get to keep gifts.
    • Ms. Mina Baby  •  2 years 10 months ago
      To each is own, everybody got there ways men get dumped for just being to thirsty and causing thereself to miss out on a good person who actually cared a million dollars about them. It is just said how some can want to be love and when someone comes alongs and show their love for them, they do the oposite, can't take it as I've got me a keeper instead they treat them wrong, and like I said before they missed out on Good human being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Joseph  •  2 years 10 months ago
      My Lady doesn,t fit into any of these categories. She,s independent, intelligent, caring, beautiful,and resourceful...she is definately a keeper!!
