What's wrong with him? questions

[hellziggy]

There is a girl here at work who is single and has been out in the wonderful world of first dates.
Each new guy she meets ends up making her add a new question to the list of questions to screen out the ones that just won't work. The one she has been talking to lately (but hasn't met yet) has passed all the questions so far so we are trying to figure out what "the deal breaker" question that she just hasn't thought of yet is.
Some examples of previous deal breakers that have been added are: "Are you hygenically inclined?" and "Have you ever been in prison for crystal meth?"

So, oh LJ brain of mine. What are some questions she needs to ask this boy?

Do you have more men friends or women friends?

Now there is nothing wrong with having a somewhat equal amount of both, but a guy I highly respect (whom I was friends with while I was still on the dating scene) gave me that question - if the guy has pretty much no other men friends, then men are reading something into him that is not right, so steer clear. 'Cause men can read men better than women can, just as women can read other women better than men can. It made sense to me. Make sure the dude has at least some men chums.

Excellent question. It's also good if you can stand his male friends.

I used to think I would convene a panel of my girlfriends to screen any man I was dating, but I've since decided that he should be screened by my girlfriends' husbands because
A) the same reason freyjakj gave: men read men better than women,
and B) anyone I'm seriously involved with will be spending time with my friends and their husbands. It would be nice if they hit it off. I really hate that phenomenon where women somehow mysteriously detach from all their friends and end up absorbed into the pool of their husband's friends.

I have to laugh since a whole bunch of our in common LJ friends were my husband's friends first! lol I know what you mean, though. I cherish my pre-oed_1 friendships. They are SO important. They become even more important the older you get, I think.

Agreed.

Ooh, that's a really interesting theory!
