Fox News talked to Dr. Paul DePompo, psychologist and director of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Institute of Southern California, about the four types of men who may be inclined to cheat so you can make better decisions while you’re out on the dating playing field. Next time you meet one of them, steer clear!

Mr. Charming
Who he is: Mr. Charming is hard to resist. He’s smart, fun, likeable, exciting, and only likes to be around such people. “Believing he deserves to have what he wants, he sees the affair as rewarding him for the special person he is. To accept less than what he wants would make him feel like a fool. He could be ‘fine’ in his marriage yet still believe he should exercise his sexual prowess. Getting you means he’s still got it … until he gets you,” DePompo told Fox News.

How to spot him: DePompo advised paying attention to his actions. “Mr. Charming will lack real empathy when you’re let down, but then it’s hard for you to stay angry. He’ll focus on his own gratification, may tend to have a large age gap over you, spend money lavishly to impress, and is likely to find fault in others when problems occur.”

Except for the smart part it sounds a lot like Arie, IMO.

Well , he does know how to keep a spreadsheet
So it’s interesting, not only does Arie have a type but according to this reasearch , cheaters are a type too. Scary how much of it fits him. Jmo

She has an amazing body and hair, her face is only pretty to me. JMO. I thought Kendall has a much prettier face. Again JMO.

Her numbers or Arie haven’t really increased since AFR imo.

Kendall is fresher in her looks and bright eyed . I liked Kendall too imo

ETA: Lauren is a very attractive woman, I just don’t put her in the drop dead gorgeous category, IMO. This show has cast some women that are just OMG stunning, but most like Lauren IMO are pretty with a few amazing features, but not stop traffic gorgeous. All JMO.

I'm getting really bored of this neighbour topic now, but FYI I am the last person to just believe random things I read on the internet without any evidence. That's why I did my own little research and nothing I found discounted the neighbour's story, more like supported it. She posted two pictures that prove she either lives in Arie's community or at least knows someone who does, so she's not a complete fraud for a start, regardless of whether everything she says is true or not. She also didn't scream at Lauren, it was her boyfriend who yelled at Arie and according to her they've been feuding since 2013, so seems both the boyfriend and Arie have lived there for quite a long time (and allegedly share an ex too).

But anyway, firstly the parking issue. She mentioned both a month ago and the other day that Arie parks his truck in, or blocks, the ONLY handicapped parking space in the neighbourhood. I thought, hmm, only one handicapped space? That's a bit odd. So I looked it up on Google Maps, and it's true, there's only one and it's right across the street from Arie's garage. Does it prove he parks there? No, but it's certainly not implausible IMO that he would, at least on occasion.

Secondly, the Airbnb. The neighbour said that he got in trouble with the HOA for it, got severely fined and that's why it's set to a min. 90-day stay now. I checked his listing and couldn't find any mention of the 90 days, so I wondered if it really is the rule. Well turns out there's another condo in the same community up on Airbnb and it mentions the 90 day rule, so it definitely IS a rule. That other listing had a lot of reviews between Nov 2013 and April 2015 from people who clearly only stayed a short time, so that leads me to believe the host was either informed of the 90-day rule in 2015, or the HOA changed the rules in order to put a stop to the Airbnb business. She's had no reviews since, so it seems to have killed her business, unsurprisingly. Arie's listing also has a few reviews before April 2015 and then nothing until Jan 2016, so I suspect he was hit with the rulebook at the same time as the other host in 2015. However, unlike the other host, he hasn't added the 90-day min. to his listing and there are some reviews from Jan 2016 as well as early 2017. IMO he clearly was breaking the rules, even after the issue was brought up. Blatant disregard to HOA rules tends to lead to fines, so IMO he was probably fined too. I don't need to see documents to believe that. People have been fined just for advertising their homes on Airbnb, let alone renting them out after being told it's not allowed. I can also think of a million ways the neighbour could've found out, since people talk. Arie could've been complaining about the fines to another neighbour who told the feuding neighbour, or one of his many exes, or maybe he was campaigning to have the rules changed, or the HOA made an example out of him to deter others from such attempts. Who knows, but it looks like a small community and things like that get around. Again, nothing to me suggests the neighbour was making this stuff up out of thin air, quite the opposite. But that's JMOAA and you're free to disagree.

I also think it would be in his and Lauren's (and the neighbours') best interest to move to a new place together. Seems like there's a lot of history there, not to mention Krystal visited and who knows what she got up to with Arie there.
