Whether you’re divorced, widowed, never married or still searching for ‘the one’, you’re here because you’re single and you’re looking for that something special. The truth is, finding a suitable partner isn’t that easy and, after years of searching for ‘Mr. Right’ but always ending up with ‘Mr. Wrong’, many women today no longer trust themselves to pick a good husband. What’s more, you don’t have the time, nor do you want to repeat any mistakes.
Writer and author, Susan Conner, has a new book on the market, which tackles this problem head on. In a light-hearted yet informative read, Susan explains how the problem may lie with those men who just aren’t marriage material. The Senior Dating Agency was privileged enough to talk to Susan a little more about her new book. It’s over to you, Susan.
I have recently published a book titled ‘Never Marry a Momma’s boy and 62 other men to avoid like the plague!”. This book deals with types of men and the problems they automatically bring to a relationship.
Now don’t get me wrong- I really like men- I have been married 4 times (yes, four. I am the eternal optimist!). Men can be interesting creatures; they see the world differently than women, have different interests, and can be fun to be around (not to mention the sex thing!). But “being around” a man and marrying him are two different things! Marriage changes everything- you are stuck with the whole person, not just the fun parts!
Men and women are very different (in case you haven’t noticed!) Men tend to be shallower and more rooted in the moment. Women tend to be more introspective, caring, and nurturing. We plan more for the future, and generally have a much deeper nature in all ways. It makes me laugh that most of the famous philosophers were men- the women were probably at home caring for the family and guiding him in his deep, deep thoughts (that he got credit for!) Anyway, back to our topic…
Some men are genuinely wonderful people (in some ways). Sometimes you would swear this same man had the brains of a nit- and just about as much compassion and understanding! With all this said, many categories of men come with predictable problems, not just because of the man. Certain problems are just inherent with different habits, families, personalities, or occupations.
This book has been the result of years of observations made as a Public Health Nurse, also working in the ER, Labor and Delivery and teaching Psychology. As the years passed, I noticed, as many of you probably have also, that many men tend to fall into categories, with each category having its own set of problems.
This book was triggered by an event at work- the Momma’s Boy of a co-worker was engaged. Looking at the invitation sent to our office (with a lovely picture of the couple) was a horrifying experience. I saw myself years earlier and knew exactly what kind of hell that poor girl was going to marry into. That started a cascade of thoughts about types of men to avoid.
At around the same time I emailed an author about a book of hers that I loved, mentioning that I liked to write. She said “Only you can write your book”.
Well, this book took over my life – I would dream of types of men and wake up to write them down. In the bathtub, types would pop into my mind, and I would scribble them down as soon as I stepped out. I wanted to be done, but kept thinking of different types.
I felt that if I could save ONE woman from a bad marriage, then I would be happy! So here I am, sharing this with you – The Senior Dating Agency readers. I hope it helps, or at least makes you laugh!
