"How in the world did she get involved with him?""Why has she chosen yet another problem man?" Women often do not adequately define for themselves what "dangerous" is, and many women ignore their own warning signals during the early phases of meeting men or dating them. Educated and professional women as well as high school girls often date five or six dangerous men before they learn to avoid them. They do not figure out WHO they should not be dating and HOW they can know this early on. HOW TO SPOT A DANGEROUS MAN BEFORE YOU BECOME INVOLVED helps women of any age learn the warning signs. The author describes eight types of potential "problem" men, giving their specific traits and characteristics and showing women how to recognize and avoid them. What is a dangerous man? The word immediately implies life-threatening, violent, and many men are. But "dangerous" can also mean coddled men who want mothers not partners, emotional predators who want lonely and passive women, permanent clingers who won't go away when asked to leave, neurotics with relationship-killing behaviors, the mentally ill or addicted, and the ever-eager emotionally unavailable. This book contains the following:** chapters on 8 types of dangerous men** the reasons women so often accept dangerous men as relationship choices** early signs of a bad dating choice** a general Red Alert checklist and exercises to help women develop their personal Red Alert check list** stories of women's successes and failures dealing with each type** how to promote a Do Not Date List in the community** how to develop a support system and an accountability program with other women for safe dating in the future The stories are from Ph.D.'s, artists, teachers,and straight-A college girls. Also from grocery clerks, athletes, nurses, mill workers, businesswomen, high school dropouts. All of these women have ignored their red flags, dated dangerous men, had to maneuver out of the relationships -- and moved on to meet someone else just like him. The concluding chapters show women how to take responsibility for their own safety and how to get out of relationships safely. Table of Contents1. Dangerous Is As Dangerous Does2. Red Alerts3.
