Literary Prowess

By The Little Black Blog of Big Red Flags

MAN: He loves reading kids’ books to his nieces and nephews, complete with funny voices, and really gets into each character — much to their delight.

Literary Prowess

BOY: He has a child’s reading level and kids' books are literally his only options. (Or, like the actual boys pictured to the left, he puts reading materials to unintended uses by fashioning accessories for himself.)

Hoop Dreams

MAN: Still hung up on his childhood dreams to dunk like Jordan, your guy practices his game in the lingering hopes that he may still go pro someday. (But, added bonus for you, he keeps in top shape with all of this “training.”)

Hoop Dreams

BOY: He quits his job in order to train to be a professional athlete. At 40. (And, no, he don't got game.)

Animal Lover

MAN: He loves his dog as his child, frequently engaging in baby talk with him, and lets his beloved pooch curl up into a ball by his side every night.

Animal Lover
