You forgot these:

Must always be right...about everything
Must be skilled at saying "I'm sorry you feel that way" and "Yes, BUT...."
Must deflect every question or piece of honesty he doesn't like

NO, that is not a description of my DH, but I have noticed that those traits are becoming more and more popular, and I like to follow the trends smile

On a slightly more serious note - isn't Jesse James just continuing to follow the script?

As in, "It must be Twue Luv since we're getting married and therefore I was not wrong to date this new person since I was obviously married to the wrong person and it's Not My Fault so stop saying such horrible things about me I'm really a great guy?"

(Yes, I know Kat Von D is not Michelle "Bombshell" McGee - but if you look at pics of both women, she might as well be.)

Somebody on one of the gossip sites posted that Jesse and Kat (who apparently had a longterm relationship with rockstar Nikki Sixx and abruptly ended that for Jesse) looked like "two walking STDs".

Well, crap.

I can only get by on TB's list... and that's only because I'm always right....

Gawd forbid Jesse spend 2-3 years getting his chit together.
He's GOT TO jump into another "this is the REAL thing this time" romance.

Gawd forbid Jesse dedicate this time in his life to becoming a better father to his 3 children.

Gawd forbid Jesse learn to tolerate his own company and make himself a better man BEFORE "hooking up" with the next tattooed sex bomb.

For what it's worth ... THIS

Must love tattoos


Is a totally valid criteria for Kat.

Kat is an artist and a businesswoman in her own right, as well as a reality TV star.

Kat, listen to me honey, look around. There are lots of available men out there.
Hold out for a man of higher moral standards.

Or, don't .... at your own peril.
