"10 signs you're dating a loser"

I copied the 10 reasons and paraphrased the additional text, since the website had a pretty gross format.

He plays rough... (punches walls when he's angry, breaks stuff, etc)
He forms attachments fast (makes extreme commitments very quickly, and breaks them)
He has anger problems (and acts short and violently, like a bomb)
He puts you down (and actively crushes your confidence)
He doesn't like your friends, your sisters, your mom... (and tries to sever ties between you and your contacts)
Mood swings (he goes from extreme highs to extreme lows without warning)
It's your fault (he blames you for everything, including his own emotional response)
He freaks out at the thought of a breakup (threatens to commit suicide, etc)
He doesn't like your hobbies (and stops you from having fun)
He is paranoid (goes through your mail, texts, etc)

These are all very valid, very important, and not at all sexist points.

Just because this article is targeted at women doesn't mean it is misandrist.

I would strongly agree that if you or anyone you know acts like this or is in a relationship with someone that fits this site's definition of "loser", their situation could either use some introspection, counselling, or separation. Many items on that list would be an absolute deal breaker for me, regardless of gender.

I don't see the problem, same thing if sexes were reversed.

...did anyone else read their website as All Women Stalk.com?

Ugh, sites that spend one entire page listing one single item. Too annoying; did not read.

Forgot how I stumbled upon this, looking at the links there are many things that are easily dislikable about that site.

Please, people. It's already been done, cataloged, and solved: http://www.amazon.com/The-Rules-TM-Time-Tested-Capturing/dp/0446518131 ಠ_ಠ

Those reasons aren't sexist but generally with a headline like that I thought they were referring to men who have low social status/low paying job/passive. "Losers".

Its fine if you call them losers and don't want to date them but the hypocrisy comes in when they then criticise men who only want to date younger, attractive women.

Subconsciously they're doing what they're genetically programmed to do (women go for high status men to ensure they and they're offspring's survival, men go for women with high fertility) but only one gets criticised as being superficial for doing so.
