7. Five Arab Guys You Should Never Date
Post views: 7,982
Yes. Really. Stay away from these guys. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Here’s one of them:
The “We need a 4th” Trix-Master
What’s worse than dating a man whose ultimate idea of fun is lack of sobriety? Dating a man you’ll never see because his utmost loyalty is to his cards mates. Never, and I mean, never will he let them down when they need the 4th player to complete the circle. For that is treason.
Plus, he is a hard-core nicotine addict as all his games are spent smoking the argeeleh. For hours and hours and hours.
What he’s usually wearing: pointy shoes, a lot of gel on his hair, and a Honda Civic.
