What Makes a Man Bad Relationship Material?

I was going to write an article telling women to stay away from and stop waiting for men that are poor relationship choices. Then I realized I must first define what a poor choice is:

1. If he is married, he is bad relationship material
2. If he has a girlfriend, he is bad relationship material.
3. If he wants nothing to do with you he is bad relationship material.
4. If he thinks of you as just a friend he is bad relationship material.
5. If he has numerous women and you want monogamy, he is  bad relationship material.
6. If you want someone who will spend a lot of time with you, a workaholic is bad relationship material.
7. If you want someone to express his feelings and this guy makes it like pulling teeth to get any feelings out of him, he is bad relationship material.
8. If he has no job and isn’t even looking for one, he is  bad relationship material.
9. If he has a history of violence against women he is bad relationship material.
10. If he treats your kids like shit and tries to get you to choose between him or your children, when they have done nothing really wrong but be kids, he is bad relationship material.
11. If he is controlling, he is bad relationship material.
12. If he physically, verbally, mentally or emotionally abuses you, he is bad relationship material.
13. If he wants more from you than you can reasonably give and then tries to make you feel guilty about it, he is  bad relationship material.
14. If you know he never has, and never has wanted a serious relationship, and that is what you are looking for, he is bad relationship material.
15. If he lets friends or family members walk all over him he is bad relationship material because he will let those same people walk all over you and your relationship.
16. If he has an addiction that he has not gotten under control, he is bad relationship material.
17. If he does not have the same moral standards that you do, he is bad relationship material.
18. If he does not believe women are equal to men and you live in the present world, he is bad relationship material.
19. If you meet him on the internet and he asks you for money before you meet or says he lives or works in Nigeria, he is bad relationship material.
20. If he sees women as sex objects he is bad relationship material.
