10 Types Of Men You Should Avoid Dating
Sometimes as women, we just cannot help finding ourselves attracted to men who we know we shouldn’t pursue, the types of men to avoid at all costs. The heart wants what it wants. But our brains certainly know better. If you find yourself wondering if the guy who has caught your eye is a keeper, here is the definitive list of 10 types of men to avoid like the dating plague.
1. The Bad Boy
At one time or another, every girl has a thing for the guy who just doesn’t play by the rules. He’s perpetually angry, acts like a tough guy and looks damn good while doing it. But the juvenile attraction to the bad boys of our youth can quickly fade when rebellion turns into recklessness.
2. The Underachiever
Video games, couch, raiding the refrigerator, repeat. This is the daily existence of the cute, quirky guy who you have a thing for, despite all of your girlfriends trying to convince you otherwise. If he has no hobbies, skills, or future aspirations outside of his living room, you know you’ve just encountered the attractive but exceedingly lazy underachiever.
3. The Guy Who Reminds You Of Your Ex
If you find yourself comparing your current romantic interest to your previous, you’re pursuing the guy who reminds you of your ex. It’s not his fault that his uncanny physical likeness and similar taste in music resemble your past loves. In terms of dating history, sometimes girls tend to repeat the past.
4.The Mama’s Boy
For many women, a tightly-knit family bond is an important asset in any relationship. But there are certain men that may be knit just a little too tightly to a woman that they’ve bonded with through the years. If he must clear all plans with mother or constantly seeks her approval above all else, you may be dealing with the mama’s boy.
5. The Guy’s Guy
Sports, card games and cold beer is on the itinerary of the average all men. And that’s okay! Guy’s nights are essential for every healthy relationship. While the boys are off doing the male bonding thing, we are enjoying cocktails and pedicures with the girls. There has, however, been a rare mutation of the male species where all social activities must include beer and broadcast sporting events.
6. The Cheater
It’s a sad fact of life that some men are apt to cheat on their girlfriends, and avoiding the cheating type is almost impossible, unless we know of his duplicitous ways prior to pursuing a relationship. But when forgiveness soon gives way to third, fourth and fifth chances, it should become clear that cheaters won’t change. It’s time to let him go once and for all.
7. The Broke Guy
Money can’t buy love, but also you should avoid dating a guy who is content living paycheck to paycheck, who never aims to get himself a better job. If he has no drive and is fine working at a fast food restaurant making minimum wage, consider your options sweet pea! Do you really want to date someone who can’t even take you to a movie now and then?
8. The Club Guy
This is the guy who can be found at any club in town, most nights or weekends of the week. He’s incredibly hot, super sweet and dances like a dream. Guess what? He’ll probably want to keep up this routine, even if you’re dating him, regardless of what he says. Don’t go to clubs and expect to find a keeper.
9. The Bossy Guy
He may tell you all the sweet things you want to hear, call you when he says he will and is even honest about where he’s at. He also doesn’t cheat on you, but is he bossy? Does he tell you what to wear, how to wear your hair, what you should look like, or tell you what to do? He’s the bossy guy, and these guys are often the kind to avoid. Many become controlling, or abusive.
10. The Secretive One
If you’re dating a guy who seems perfect but never wants to talk about his personal background, family, and so on, consider before you settle down. If he’s really secretive, what is he hiding? A person in a relationship should be honest, open and be willing to share things with you. Don’t push, but do be cautious if after months of dating, if he’s still not letting you in.
