Check Out His Package

A girl has a right to know what she's getting herself into, so I say look long and look hard at a man's package before you invest too much time in him. Who wants to devote six weeks to stroking an ego and laughing at silly jokes, only to learn the package is, well, let's just say it doesn't quite measure up.

Life is short and should be lived to the absolute fullest. Don't waste precious time on small packages when a big package is staring you in the face. Grab it and enjoy the ride-you deserve it.

.A man's package is made up of many things: genes, personality, education, career, finances, hobbies, family, friends, and plans for the future. You must dissect these and figure out what he's made of without him knowing what you're up to.

.A man doesn't always let his true personality shine through at first. Frequently, in the beginning stages of dating, he'll show you a side to him that isn't really him. It's his alter ego, Johnny Good Guy. Johnny Good Guy likes to take walks in the park and listen to classical music. He's kind and sincere, he's patient and attentive, and he loves children.

Ninety days into your coupling, Johnny Good Guy disappears and Johnny Come Lately steps in. Johnny Come Lately likes to take walks in the park-with your sister-and he likes to listen to metal bands and play air guitar. Sexy! His idea of "sincere" is not letting the door hit you where the good Lord split you. He is patient-patient while you cook his dinner. And he's attentive. Well, I guess copping a feel can be considered attentive. Oh, and his views on children? It's barefoot and pregnant for you; hanging out and drinking beer for him.

The point is, don't fall for a guy until you really get to know him. The first 90 days are basically fake; he's smitten, you're smitten, and neither one of you is real. Let those 90 days go by then evaluate his true personality as it starts to emerge.
