Guy#8: Mr. “Temp and part-time”

Should you be happy that this guy at least has a job??

I don’t think so…

Yes, he might be employed, but he has no stability. He works silly temp jobs that obviously don’t last, don’t pay very much and don’t lead to any meaningful employment. Or he has a part-time job, only working 20 or less hours a week bringing home small paychecks. He has what I call a “right now” attitude; he only thinks about the here and now. He lives for the moment. He doesn't give much thought to his future. He’s a classic underachiever.

He might be smart, talented and full of potential. But likely he's not too smart at all with few prospects for the future. He does “just enough”. He has enough sense to know that he needs income and he seeks and finds some form of employment. But he doesn’t have enough sense to know that it’ll take more effort on his part if he ever wants to truly get ahead in life. But he just might not have much ambition. He’s the type of guy that is easily content with how his life has turned out, no matter how grave his situation is.

Often a guys that fit this profile is just plain ol’ lazy! They lack confidence and has never been pushed in his life. No one has ever challenged him. He’s been coddled his entire life. It’s highly likely that this guy has spent most of his adulthood living with family and friends. He doesn’t have many obligations. If he did (and some do) he couldn’t handle the challenges anyway. He’s an immature person that has never grown up and he lives his life like a high school teenager.

Expect this guy to be unskilled and uneducated though he may be educated and skillful and not simply reaching his full potential or he could have been successful in the past, experienced failures, and has never been able to get back on his feet. Ultimately this guy is dependent on others (YOU) and completely comfortable in his own skin in being a part-time, temporary loser! If it’s just important that the man you’re seeing sometimes has a job or works a little bit then this guy may be perfect for you. But if you want a real man, one that is hardworking, stable and responsible, all I can say is…

If you’re involved with Mr. “Temp and part-time” and you think one day you might actually marry this guy....

Girl, don’t do it!!
