5 Types of Women Who Get Dumped

We loved Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo together and are bummed about their trip to Splitsville. Now, we're not saying Jess falls into one of these categories, but in Cosmo's article, "Guys Uncensored: The Dirty Truth About Dumping You," men reveal the five types of women who practically ask to be booted.

Could you be one of these types?

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. And then 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.

    All this really says is the same old thing: Women are nuts and it's always our fault.

    Thanks for reinforcing the negative sterotypes.

    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!

    I totally agree, jesidelane-Seriously, if you are 29 and throwing a Barbie and Ken birthday party for yourself, you have serious issues.

    Tony Romo actually seems like a relatively decent human being who was thinking with the wrong part of his anatomy when he hooked up with a bimbo like Jessica Simpson. I suppose that the cutesy parties were excusable to Nick Lachey when she was 19, but at 29? Tony was smart to get the hell away from that hot mess before he was trapped for good.

    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.

    This artical is rediclous! These are qualities that every human possesses at some point or another! Who is to say that it is not right for either a man or a woman to feel these different ways if for example either would rather spend time with friends than with their bf/gf....leaves the mind to wonder. Im sick of alot of the articles on shine lately.

    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.
