Hey J, I got 9 out of 10, just missed out with "The on the sly cheater" one. My experience is some people are attracted to many of these personalities, but, no-one likes to be the victim of a "cheat".

I agree with a lot of what you said, except the 50/50 comment. I think when it comes to real long term relationships, it needs to be 100/100. I don't want someone who's only going to put half of themselves in a relationship. Now, I know that's not what you meant, you probably meant to illustrate that both people need to be equal in the relationship and contribute equally - and that I agree with 8-)

But doesn't anyone get worried that they themselves might fit into one of those??

The trickiest type you mentioned I think is the sociopath, you just can't tell before it's too late.Mind you this is not a matter to laugh at. It is a fact they look for gullable victims on dating-sites (I have seen people writing their surname and dwellingplace in their profile) Sociopaths can act the loveable part and seem too good to be true but should one consider this a reason to walk away? Just never ever go to places where you would be alone on your first dates. Look for little lies because lying is what they do best and frequently. Stories maybe inconsistent, it's very hard to remember every lie when lying comes second nature. And guys, there are female sociopaths around. All in all the safest way is to marry the bastard as the victims of known sociopaths have always been away from home.
As for men with anger issues, not all people who shout at other car drivers will beat up their date, hell you wouldn't be able to date 99.8% of the male world population (it probably would leave you with the pope, the dalai lama and a few sociopaths)

I like #8, I 've been with someone who was a flirt and they said, "Thats just how I am" , geez, if your with someone the flirting should stop, isn't flirting ultimately for getting together with someone ?
