The Good Guys Cont'd.

5) The Thrill Seeker:
This is the guy who will  climb Mountain Everst without the help of sherpa guides, white water raft through the Niagra Falls, and be baffled as to why you're not as equally thrilled to jump out of an airplane at 30,000 feet in the air. He is the ultimate adrenaline junkie and no challenge is too much for him. He is the multi-millionaire from "Along Came Polly," who was dubbed an insurance company's worst nightmare because of his base jumping, white shark diving, and windsurfing lifestyle. Although these types can be quiet the adventure to spend time with, they quickly become exhausting for the more mellow among us. Unless you enjoy living out of a backpack, befriending the lost tribes of the Amazon, or chasing lions, this man may be a tad too much for you.


6) The Careerist: This man color codes just about everything in his life from his fountain pen collection to his drawers. Although this may seem offputting at first, it serves him quiet well in the long run. He is the ultimate driven perfectionist. The only others serious competition you'll have to worry about while with him is his job. Seriously. These types devote their entire existance to succeeding in the professional field. If you are an equally ambitious type of woman, this may work out perfectly and your weekends will consist of cozy reunions around your prospective laptops and blackberries. Otherwise, you might feel a bit odd as you wrangle with an inanimate object (the cell phone) for your partner's attention. Despite these drawbacks, this man's drive for perfection tends to spill over into other areas of his life (including your relationship). When threatened with the prospect of losing you, he will work as hard to keep your relationship afloat as he does to manage his company's hedge fund.


7) The Tough Guy:
This is the type of man that most girls are originally intimidated or put-off by, but who turns out to be one of the nicest men out there. After getting past his rough, salt-of-the earth exterior, you'll be surprised to discover a kind and gentle soul in need of recognition. Although he may not recognize the difference between Cole Haan and Hugo Boss or appreciate the appeal of modern art, this person will be by your side when the dams break loose. Even when an entire tube of mascara is running down your face like the Niagra Falls, this man will stay by your side as a strong, dependable rock. You will come to find his honest, no-nonsense approach much more refreshing than the eloquently shallow compliments of more urbane sorts who will run at the first hint of trouble. If you can get past your first impression of Mr. Tough Guy, you may be surprised to find a very polished diamond in the rough.
