Girls you can't take home to mum

There are women your mother warned you about. If you hook up with any of them, you have only yourself to blame, writes Carol Kasujja. Here is a break down of some of those girls.

There are women your mother warned you about. If you hook up with any of them, you have only yourself to blame, writes Carol Kasujja. Here is a break down of some of those girls.

  
Money chaser
She has a pretty face, but a greedy heart lies behind that pretty face. She wants to own everything and is always well dressed. 
She is the kind who can get you to spend your rent and buy her a car. Such a woman expects a man to finance her entire life. To her, it is not love, all she needs is you to meet her interests. With her motto ‘No money, No love’, she will drive you into debt.
 
Lives in fantasy
This ever-imaginative one expects a man to behave like the Prince Charming in her favourite romantic movie or novel. The distinction between the real and fantasy is virtually non-existent. She dreams of being served breakfast in bed, and she visits on the weekend. Do not expect her to get all homely and cook you a meal – order take-out. Do not expect her to  help you clean up because she does not want to get her hands dirty, besides, she has just had a manicure. 
There must be a maid on-call to cook and clean. She expects you to sit through a soap with her and whisper sweet nothings in her ear, just as the guy on the screen is doing. If you are a poser, you can stay, if not, run for your life.
 
 Party animal
She knows which club has the best music and what theme night is on. 
She is carefree, wild and seems to be interesting. She is always drunk or nursing a hangover. She is known by all the bouncers and bartenders. 
 
Such girls always make otherwise important decisions when drunk, and since you are not always with her, you do not know how much she risks her life. 
Steer clear of this, otherwise you will have your children waking up to a mother blacked out on the couch, or worse still in the car.
 
Desperate for the title Mrs
Too many girls of marriage age are interested in the wedding, not the marriage. After tying the knot, that is when your eyes will open. 
 
In the beginning, she will treat you well, call you during lunch time to find out whether you have had lunch. She will basically be a mother  to you. After her act convinces you she is marriage material, you go ahead and marry her. 
After the deal is sealed and she has the ring on her finger, the wolf will break through the sheep’s skin. 
 
She will let you know, in no uncertain terms, how she cannot do certain things because growing up, there was always someone to do her bidding. 
 
The best you can do at this point is say: “I wish I knew.”
 
Financially independent
It is not bad to have an independent woman, but there are women who will not care whether you are around or not. 
Even though she may not say it, her actions will show you that she does not quite need you around, and that can be a terrible blow to a man’s ego. So, unless you want to feel inadequate, do not make your bed with this one. 
 
This woman may not be too bad as a life partner as long as she does not push it down your throat that she really does not need you around.  

Daddy’s girls
Spoilt completely by her father, she will expect you to do everything for her, no questions asked, no reminders needed. Even when it comes to raising the children, she will expect you to take charge – her role will be to show off to her peers what adorable children she has. If you cannot solve a problem at home, she will run to daddy.
 
 
10 signs she is the one
You trust her: For the first time in your life, you don’t think twice about opening up about personal matters; you know that you can turn your back to her and not worry. 
 
She gets along with your friends: She meets your friends and you get the impression that she likes them and could actually get along with them. 
 
She has fun with your crazy family: You cringe at the thought of her meeting grandpa Joe and hearing about his sordid tales, but when the big day comes, you realise that she actually finds his stories funny. 
 
You forget your friends: Playing pool and having some drinks with your buddies isn’t as interesting as it used to be. You prefer to see her and pass up the friends.
 
You forget about your ex: From the time you first laid eyes on her, you seem to have finally turned a new page. You still look at other women, but it’s just “looking”.
 
You get mad when others debase her: Whether it’s your friends, family or some stranger, you get irritated when people say mean things about your woman. 
 
Chemical balance: You have so much chemistry oozing between the two of you that you have no choice, but to give into temptation.
 
You ask yourself where she has been all your life: She wants to know all about you – the good and the bad – and is not turned off by the latter. 
 
You give her a treat: Suddenly, you would love to fix up a five-course meal for her, serve her, wine and dine her, and then take her in your arms. .
 
You find yourself unable to concentrate: As pathetic as it may be, you cannot wait to see her again, and you even consider calling her to let her know just that.
