Have You Ever Dated a Guy with a Temper?

1104-vintage-photo-booth-flipping-the-bird_sm.jpg
Did you guys watch The Bachelorette last night? Canadian cutie Jillian gets to choose between thirty guys, and most of them are smart, funny and smokin'. But there's one guy who I definitely would not want to meet in a dark alley....

David, a 27-year-old from Ohio, freaks me out. He seemed sweet and shy at the beginning, but now he has crazy eyes, chugs whiskey and talks about beating up one of the other guys. He even said, "I would kill him," and then added, "There's no reason we shouldn't tie him to a tree and beat the *%@* out of him." What???? That is insane!!! Take it down a notch, Dave!

Dear readers, you ever dated a guy with a temper? Were you ever freaked out by it? Have you ever seen your man get into a fight? Would you prefer your guy to have some spicy edge to him, or do you like a more mellow man? (And a side question for Bachelorette fans: Who are your favorite guys so far? I have a little crush on Ed and Kipton's abs...)

P.S. What if you really don't like your friend's boyfriend?

    I would not want a "fly off the handles" type of guy (been there dumped that) he's likely to be a bully or an abuser! You need to experience the dating scene- as well as relationships to really pick up on these RED flags. I hope she takes that as her sign!

    Yes, I did veiw the show. Why do women stay with those jerks, and why would you not exspect to see a few " loosers" on a show of that nature? Getting back to abusive relationships, Yes I have lived, nine long hororfing years of that kind of life.wonder if he's in a good mood tonite, or I hope he is not drinking, because I will be victomised in some mannor or time in the nite; (Even sex was abusive ). I still have nightmares about it. So, I saybe aware of the signs., Men are are victoms of abuse also, by the way; and I learned to spot the red flags poping up ;in stuff like controlling attitude, jealousy ; a slap heare and ther, money missing. or bad checks coming in ,you did not write. So, beware. . ConnieG
