VH1 Undateable: Episode 2 Recap

Alexandra Morgan
VH1's five part series, Undateable, continues with the next 20 undateables in the 100 item list of things men do that "guarantee they won't be dating or having sex." The second episode resumes with an all-star cast of reality show drama junkies, as in episode one; and really, would you expect anything less? The second airing features dating commentary from none other than Gretchen Rossi from The Real Housewives of Orange County, Brandi Norwood from VH1'sBrandy & Ray J, and J-WOWW and Pauly D from MTV'sThe Jersey Shore.

And here they are, VH1's list of undateables...

Murses(murse, otherwise known as a man's purse)

It's hard to take a guy seriously who walks around with a purse. I understand the need to put things somewhere, but a guy carrying a purse leads me to wonder just how high-maintenance he is. A briefcase while at work, yes; I can understand that. But a purse? Really? What could you possibly need to keep with you that is that important?

I've never known a guy who carried a murse but I feel confident in saying that if I did, that probably would be a deal breaker for me.

Boners

Ah, there's nothing more awkward and disconcerting than enjoying a lovely movie or dinner and looking over and seeing your date sporting a boner. I guess all women hope that, by adulthood, guys will have learned a mental trick strong enough to prevent such situations - picturing mom, or a sick and frail grandmother...something, anything.

If this happens once, to my mind, it doesn't classify as undateable, but if it continues to happen... but then, the odds that it would only happen once are slim. Sorry guys, this one's kind of a no-go.

Nicknames for Women's Boobs

There's a name for women's breasts for a reason, because that's what they're called. No need for the cutesy nicknames, and there are many:

Melons,

Fun bags

Buzooms

Floatation devices

Buzoongas

Teets

And on and on and on...

Penis Nicknames

Again with the nicknaming guys. Really, if your anatomy is coming up so much in conversation that you have to name it, there is something very wrong. You either lack something to say or lack friends to such an alarming extent that you have no business dating.

If you do feel the need to do give your anatomy a nickname, just at least be sure your date or girlfriend doesn't hear you throwing it around in conversation (or, God forbid, speaking directly to it), and you're probably in the clear.

Hawaiian Shirts

Hawaiian shirts, while not incredibly stylish, I don't think should be grounds to write someone off for. Well, I guess if a guy wore them every day, then maybe.

Can't Throw Ball

VH1 determines throwing like a girl to be an undateable quality in men. It's not flattering or masculine by any means when a guy can't throw a ball, but I wouldn't consider a guy to be undateable solely for this, provided he had a lot of other stellar qualities.

Air Guitar

Air guitar died with Wayne and Garth guys, please accept it. Pretending to play an instrument by wiggling your fingers in the air does not make you Steven Tyler; either learn to actually play or give it up.

Again, I wouldn't consider a guy undateable for this per say, but if t was just one other dorky trait on top of a list of five others; I would.

Those are just a few of the undateables mentioned by VH1 on episode two of Undateable, tune in to VH1 for a re-run to hear the others.

If you disagree with any of these undateables or have some of your own undateables not mentioned here or in the episode 1 re-cap, please list them here.

    Boners? really - this isn't so easy to control as women might think and well, isn't it kind of flattering to know a guy wants you that bad?
