Guys, Men & Boys

I have spent almost all of my adult years being single (I was married for 6 of my 36 years). In that time I have come to some conclusions about guys. Some may call them stereotypes, but really they are just observations based on my experiences. Mainly, in my recent dating adventures I have found that guys fall into one of the following categories:
1) Mr. Executive - This is a man who is usually divorced with kids (but not always). He dresses well, is very intelligent, educated and has a great job. He casually throws in tidbits about his well paying position and likes to shower women with gifts. He is usually looking for company for a nice evening out, but is definitely hoping to get laid.
2) Mr. Wife - This guy is usually a divorced parent looking for someone to take his wife's place. He is sensitive to women, gentlemanly and looking to start a relationship as soon as possible. He will ask you out on a fun date at first, but as soon as he feels close to you, he will ask you if he can cook for you, and then want to cuddle up on the couch with a movie.
3) Mr. Hottie - This guy has played with the best of them. He is usually a commitment phobe. He is used to being ogled by women and can usually get a woman into bed with him on the first date with his smooth moves and charming smile.
4) Mr. Nice Guy - This guy is usually a nerd at heart. He is kind, thoughtful and generous. He can be sweet to a fault. He can give away his heart very quickly. He is very excited to be with a beautiful woman and usually shows nervousness on the first date. He won't make the first move.
5) Mr. Frat Boy - This guy is stuck in his college years. He loves to party and knows how to have a good time. He doesn't have high aspirations; he usually just holds down a regular job, if that. He treats women like toys.

whats needed is a combination, a guy that is financially well off, a guy that is good with his hands, a guy that can meet your needs and whims, a guy that takes care of his appearance, a guy that is good in the bedroom.
However the most important thing is that these 5 guys do not meet, :)
good start

I guess I'm Mr. Nice Guy.

Guys are pretty simple. I'm not so sure that these aren't all the same guy with different life experiences.

Some were born into money so they get the better education. Some were born with good looks so they learn to mistreat women early, etc.

Yes, you are right- a guy with all of those qualities in one would be fantastic - but so far I haven't met one yet. Like the way you think :).
