This is the title of a great book which we highly recommend.  It is also good advice for women who are considering whether or not to post bail for a boyfriend.  The following is a brief summary of who those men are: The Violent Man:   He verbally berates or physically abuses women, children or animals. Verbal abuse often escalates to physical abuse.

The Mentally Ill Man:   Not all men with personality, mood or behavior disorders are dangerous, but those who are erratic about therapy and medication are a higher risk.

The Addict:   Even a long period of sobriety doesn’t necessarily mean an addict has resolved the issues related to his addiction. Relapses impact affect everyone in his life.

The Emotional Predator:   These men are charmers with a “nose for neediness” in women. They exploit that vulnerability, making women feel helpless and dependent.

The Man with the Hidden Life:   These are tight-lipped men who are vague about their past histories and current activities.

The Emotionally Unavailable Man:   His attention is devoted to his career, education, hobbies or buddies, not to a monogamous relationship.

The Parental Seeker:   He is a “mama’s boy” who has failed to develop an adult personality and looks for a woman to fix life’s problems for him.

The Permanent Clinger:   Controlling and suffocating, he wants to be together all the time and gets frantic when left alone.
