On your dating journey to find your prince, expect to encounter a lot of frogs. Some are good, but not great guys. Others are toads and not worth your time or kisses. 👄 Although this blog is for dating singles over 50, these types of men are universal.
Here are some of the more common varieties. In my book, to be published in 2024, I've listed frogs into categories that are black and white for easy identification, but in real life they are much muddier. Let me know what new species you discover.
Click on the highlighted link below for more information about each frog type.
ALMOST, BUT NO CIGAR - You're not quite attracted. There's this persistent, subtle something that makes you feel indifferent. Odds are that it won't get any better.
ATTENTION DEFICIT - This guy gives a bad rap to those with a true medical diagnosis. He has a short attention span and takes the short-cuts in life. Superficial is his specialty. Subspecies of this group are the Too Busy and the Flakes.
AVERAGE JOE - The only flavor available is vanilla.
CHAMELEON - This frog will be whoever you want him to be. Briefly.
CHAUVINISM - This puffed up frog Can't Handle An Undramatic, Vivacious, Intelligent, Naughty, Interesting, Sassy Mate. He's a pig in his natural habitat and full regalia.
DIRECTOR - This fun frog has a rich sexual fantasy world and wants you to be his star. He's too terrified to meet you but you can play on-line together.
FANTASIZER - Unlike the Director, you are not necessarily his diva. He could be the star or he'll add others to enrich your cybersex experience while he mentally and physically masturbates. Of course, he'll ask you to do the same while sharing video time. Meet in real life, never.
FOI/C (rhymes loosely with fuck) - This frog has a gigantic Fear Of Intimacy/Commitment. He is emotionally unavailable and will break your heart daily until you leave this relationship -or whatever it is. Never Married, No Kids, No Clue - is a subspecies of the FOI/C whose deficits outweigh everything.
FRAUD FROGS - This is a huge category that include the One and Done Fraud Frogs who "love bomb" you and want to move you off-site immediately to steal your identity and money. A more sophisticated group are the Long Con Fraud Frogs, who are probably a group of guys acting as one. They use some variation of the theme that after he's wooed you for months and is ready to marry you, - then oops, something unforeseen happens and he needs you to lend him some money. Whether you give him the $ or not, you'll never hear from him again.
LAT - Live Apart Together is a fraud of a different type. Self-centeredness is a hard-wired characteristic of these guys who want you only when it's convenient for them.
MY MISTAKE - You meet and know pretty quickly that it stinks and you need to disappear. Yep, make an excuse and leave. Don't feel too badly; it's better than sticking around and faking some fuzzy feelings.
NOT OVER HIS XYZ - There are quite a variety of subspecies of this type of frog. The most common is the Widower who can be a real winner but ONLY if he's truly over his grieving. Other subspecies include the Recently Separated, or the rare type, Separated in Name Only (but still shares the same house).
PREDATOR/ABUSER - This is the classic "woman hater." He might only murder your self-esteem if you're lucky. He's dangerous and lethal; make no mistake and stay away.
SEX TEASER - This guy is a great lover and as fun as your wildest fantasy. You probably can't keep him long but he's worth renting.
UNTIL SOMEBODY BETTER COMES ALONG - You're comfortable with each other but really, are you ready to settle for less than the best, because this is all there is?
