Roxy, you should start a new thread on girls with issues. Just ask for feedback from the men. They’ll all have stories.
To me, “issues” just means a girl that comes with a lot of psychological and emotional baggage. Examples can really vary, but it’s like that one senator’s definition of porn - I know it when I see it.
The problem for T-men is, of course, that girls with issues are usually great in the sack. Meanwhile, they seem to do their best to wreck your world and suck the very life out of you.
Okay, one quick example. My friend meets this girl. Wild, sexy, all over him, calling his house, hundreds of e-mails etc. She’s begging him to have sex with her. Surprisingly, he does not. His ISSUE GIRL radar is working for once.
Suddenly, no more calls or e-mails. Months pass. He runs into her casually somewhere and she’s pregnant. Finds out later that she’d gotten pregnant to try to make her boyfriend stay with her (lied about using birth control), he had dumped her anyway, and she had been trying to sleep with my friend so she could pin the baby on him. My friend is a young T-man moving up the corporate ladder in a communications company. Really going places. She had zeroed in on him as a mark because of this.
Anyway, that is one example of a girl with issues. There are many others.
And yes, men can be issue-boys as well. In relationships, this usually manifests itself as extreme jealousy, abuse, and the need to dominate and control the female. But again, there all types of “issues”.
In business, men with issues usually have ego problems. Many are prima donnas. Nasty folks to work with. They don’t last long around here.
