After reading Dr. Michelle's Book "Ms. Typed" I was inspired to do a Ustream show about the book and the different personality types that women have in relationships. A few people have asked me to post the different traits of each type so this is for you ladies! If you see yourself in one or more of these descriptions, FIX it! You can start by purchasing the book off of her website: http://www.drmichelle.com/books...Enjoy!
The Ten "Ms. Typed" Dating Personality Types
1. Ms. Second Place
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Second Place allows herself to be put in second place to everything else in her man’s life. She may be second to his wife, his career, or his friends. She isn’t a priority, she knows it, and she lives with it. She has forgotten what a special person she is, so she thinks she has to settle for second, when she deserves first place.
2.Ms. Sex Machine
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Sex Machine settles for physical and sexual intimacy when what she really wants is a relationship and emotional intimacy. She uses sex as a weapon to manipulate men and get what she wants (except a relationship). She thinks she has to give away her most prized possession to buy a man’s love and attention,when all she needs to do is allow her great personalit yto shine, and men will want to know more.
3.Ms. Soul Mate
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Soul Mate believes that life doesn’t exist outside of dating, so she wants every man she dates to be “the one.” She doesn’t know how to just enjoy dating a man while it lasts and admit when the relationship has no future. One day she will find “the one.” She just needs to take her time and wait for a man who is deserving of her love and commitment.
4.Ms Drama Queen
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Drama Queen loves a challenge and likes dating bad boys, unavailable men, and players. She thinks that love is supposed to be a challenge and is constantly pursuing dead-end relationships that result in her being rejected. She believes that she has to do something over the top to win a man’s heart, when all she needs to do is be herself.
5.Ms. Bag Lady
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Bag Lady carries around a load of emotional “baggage” and lets her old emotions adversely affect her new relationships. She lets her unresolved problems from the past ruin her present and future. Because she’s been treated so poorly, she doesn’t realize how wonderful and deserving of love she truly is.
6.Ms. Mom
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Mom dates men whose lives are “under construction,” and she makes it her responsibility to solve their problems. She doesn’t know how to stop mothering aman and let him stand on his own two feet. Instead, she needs to apply that nurturing approach to her own life. He already has a mother. All Mr. Right needs is a friend and partner.
7.Ms. Anaconda
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Anaconda kills her relationships by wrapping herself around a man until she suffocates him. She smothers a relationship by being too needy, too demanding,and too overbearing. She thinks she has to hold on to a man like her life depends on it because she doesn’t realize that she is strong and smart enough to stand on her own.
8.Ms. Independent
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Independent has been burned in love before, so she won’t let anyone get close to her for fear of getting hurt again. She would rather be alone than risk rejection. When she realizes that letting her guard down doesn’t mean being taken advantage of, she can allow her inner light to shine, and men will flock to it.
9.Ms. Rose-Colored Glasses
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Rose-Colored Glasses won’t see the truth about the man she’s dating or what’s wrong with their relationship. She just keeps on going like nothing is wrong—until she crashes into reality. Her optimism is helpful when applied to other areas of her life. But in love it creates a blind spot that hides the truth that she doesn’t realize she is strong enough to face.
10.Ms. Perfect
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ms. Perfect is so caught up in a never-ending cycle of perfection and self-improvement that she has no time for a relationship. She is too uptight to let go and have fun on a date, and she rarely finds a man she thinks is “good enough” for her. When she realizes that she is already everything a man could want, she can finally sit back and start enjoying life.
