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?

    Due to my childhood past, I'm attracted to guys who are bullies and are abusive. So yes, I've seen the temper before..way more times then I want to.

    Meh, I am Cuban so I got a temper, I don't like extremely passive guys, but that doesn't sound psycho to me above, I say stuff like that all the time LOL!!!!!! But I didn't see his demeanor which could be scary, cuz ya, guys with tempers, are capable of murder more so than a woman, IDK, I have to watch it! So Jillian got the part eh! Good for her.

    I am currently in a relationship with a person with a really bad temper. He usually somkes (herbs) to relax 2 to 3x's a day. He has hit me several times and always seems to turn it around and says I bring out the worst in. Last night he blew up on me for a friend who called my phone and it did get physical. He is very dependent on his mother and she tells him all the time to stay away from me. I am the victem and as of today I am out! Please anyone with words of advice give me your input...

    I'm still married to a man with a temper. He lashes out every day. I've left him a few times and he says he's changed so I go back and he still hasn't. If it wasn't for the economy he'd be out of my life for good!

    Dated a guy with a temper for about 5 mos. He never hit me, but he would bang objects or mouth off if he was mad. He was also really stubborn and that was the last straw. I dumped him because he wouldn't compromise with me after I'd had a miserable, long day at my new job. I didn't want to go out and he did- so I was trying to be nice by going to his friend's party, but I said we had to leave by 12. It got later and later until I got my coat and was hinting that we should go. He said if you walk out that door it's over. So I walked out the door, got into my car, started the ignition and then look both ways to back out, and what do you know- there he is banging on my window. I drove away with him hitting my window and running after me.

    And yeah, that David guy on the bachelorette freaks me out too. He seems kind of um, you know...crazy.

    I date a boxer with a horrible temper. Of course I didn't know it at first and he never threatened me nor did I feel threatened. But, I knew if I continued in the relationship at some point he would have hit me. So, I got out- I miss the sex though- best sex of my life!

    guess you've never met anyone from Cincinnati.

    we like to drink whiskey by the gallon and mainly joke about beating or killing other guys.

    typically we will pass out long before this comes to pass.

    i like my eyes just the way they are, crazy and a little bloodshot.

    I was married to a typically pretty quiet guy...until he got upset about something. Then he'd throw his shoes, the remote control, etc...watched them zoom past my head a couple times. He had/has a very hot temper. Not to mention, he destroyed my self-esteem with his words. I'm so thankful that my current husband treats me so incredibly well and truly loves me for me. I can't even imagine being in that type of situation again. Sometimes you gotta watch out for those quiet types too!
