The Foreigner:

The Metrosexual

Disadvantages: Their propensity to give of themselves can sometimes be mistaken for spinelessness. Don’t push an advantage so its not always known they are attracted to us until we’re with someone else and they feel they have nothing to lose by coming clean. Will get upset when we use them for rebound guys.
