What follows, ladies and gents, is a prime example of what it means to dodge a big, fat, metaphorical man bullet.
A woman in her early 20s has shared a tale to Reddit about how she discovered the bloke she had been crushing on for several months had compiled a pro-con list about her. And so she needs the help of us, the people of the internet, in order to decide what to do next.
But first, the details.
The man in question was her friend’s brother. If we’re honest, that rarely bodes well, but according to our “crushed” poster, “everyone had been super supportive” and encouraging her to “go for it”. Until she found the list lying on a table at her friend’s house.
“The pros list was short – that I’m small and that I’m a ‘human female who might actually want to f**k’ him,” she wrote. “The cons list was much longer and hit a bunch of my insecurities. He made fun of my teeth, my voice, called me clingy (I’ve hung out with the dude ONCE) and girly and annoying, among other things.”
Mr Listy McPrickface also expressed concern that she “has no plan whatsoever”.
“I’ve just escaped from a long abusive relationship and moved back home and am fighting PTSD,” the poster explained.
She’s 26 and dates the same type of guy over and over. How can she break the cycle? (Post continues below.)

I'm calling bull dust on this. Who gives their lists descriptive names, so descriptive, in fact, that their subject is able to identify themselves? "Should I go out with <insert name="" here="">: a list of pros and cons". How did the author determine that the list was about her?
It says it all that he has to list "human female who might actually want to f**k’ him." Gee, I wonder why he has trouble finding women who want to fk him?? Very picky for someone so desperate.
I'm calling it now- this guy will be pushing 40 and the closest thing to a relationship he has had is fking his mum's best friend every Friday night after bingo.
