You think he’s perfect and the majority of your friends

approve after meeting him. You start seeing wedding bells in your future as he

checks all the essential boxes.

That is, until you took him home to meet your mother. Mom’s

not feeling him, is not having it and thinks you can do way better.

Call it mother’s intuition or meddling but she has her

reasons for giving him the thumbs down.

Before you dismiss them, peruse the list and try seeing

him a little through her lenses. It might prove interesting.

1. Job: Blue-collar and not much prospect for

promotion or advancement.  Yes, she is

not pleased.

2. Personality: He supplies nothing but ‘yes’ and ‘no’

answers and has the charm of a wet noodle!

3. Family background: Half of them are scammers and

the rest do not share 100 brain cells between them. It is not looking very

promising for the gene pool.

4. Looks: He may have been beaten by the ugly stick,

at least in her estimation

5.  Education: He

can barely read and his writing looks like chicken scratchings.

6. Car: It sends more time in the shop than on the

road.

7.  Connections:

He has none to speak of.

8. Friends: Cons, scammers, smokers and side walk politicians.

9. Bank account: Zero only belongs on a dress size,

not in his bank book.

10. Home: A ‘kotch’ on a friend’s couch does not

constitute living somewhere.
