1. Born Complainers ...
Nothing will ever be good enough for this man, you’ll always be too loud, too stupid, too happy..... Avoid him like you would the plague, you’ll never be good enough for him and he’ll just kill your self esteem.
***
His criticisms will seep into every facet of your life, from the way you dress to the friends you choose. Even your greatest achievements will be met with indifference or belittlement. He's the dark cloud on your sunniest days, eager to point out the possibility of rain. Engaging with him is exhausting, as he thrives on highlighting flaws and ignores any attempt at optimism. For the sake of your mental health and happiness, sidestep this emotional minefield. You deserve to be celebrated, not constantly torn down.
If he doesn't respect your boundaries, he's controlling or overly jealous, or if he talks down to you, those are big red flags. Trust your gut feeling!
Sometimes it’s not about you at all. He may be dealing with his own issues, or maybe he's just not ready for a relationship. Remember, you deserve someone who wants to be with you fully.
Pay attention to your intuition, set clear standards, and don't be afraid to walk away if he doesn't meet them. It's also helpful to ask your friends for their honest opinions.
Yes, there are certain types you might want to watch out for, like the perpetual player, the commitment-phobe, or the unreliable guy who always has excuses.
Absolutely! By steering clear of unhealthy relationships, you'll have more room for meaningful connections and you'll learn what genuinely makes you happy in love.
2. ‘Damaged’ Men ...
... Who don’t want to be fixed. On your first date he’ll announce that he is not over his broken heart. On your tenth, you’ll realise that he isn’t just broken hearted; he enjoys it, and has made a solemn pact to never let anybody in again. His armour is so thick that you’ll never get through, so don’t waste your time trying.
***
He might spin tales of how his past has left him forlorn, but what he’s really doing is laying down an impenetrable gauntlet—a challenge you won't conquer, despite your best intentions. You may be tempted to play healer, to be the one who warms his cold heart. Yet, the truth is stark; he’s settled into his role as the lone wolf, relishing his emotional solitude. Spare yourself the emotional toil: such a man isn’t looking for salvation, he's basking in his self-crafted narrative of the brooding bachelor, unreachable and unwavering.
If he doesn't respect your boundaries, he's controlling or overly jealous, or if he talks down to you, those are big red flags. Trust your gut feeling!

3. Guys That Love Sports More than You ...
Most guys will put a sport first at some point, but you know that he’ll be there for you if you need him. Guys who love sports too much, however, won’t care if the house is on fire or the baby's crying, he’ll just want another beer and some “peace” to watch the match.
If he doesn't respect your boundaries, he's controlling or overly jealous, or if he talks down to you, those are big red flags. Trust your gut feeling!

4. Men Who Analyse You ...
He thinks he’s Freud, and analyses your every move, from the flavour of crisp you choose to what you watch on TV. He’ll sit with a smug smile, convinced that by labelling you he’ll be keeping you hooked. Soon he’ll be trying to “fix” you with his weird theories... bin him now.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Pretty-Pretty Boys ...
He will just leave you feeling ugly while he spends his time fixing his hair and acting more beautiful and delicate than you. Find a more masculine man, and leave him preening himself.
***
A relationship should be a partnership of equals, not a competition for the mirror. If he's always seeking the spotlight with his flawless appearance, chances are he'll hardly notice yours. You're not an accessory to accentuate his looks; you're a person who deserves to shine. Instead of being overshadowed by a man's vanity, find someone who appreciates and celebrates your unique beauty, without turning it into a contest of who draws more admiration when you walk into a room. Choose a partner who isn't consumed by his own reflection – one who sees and loves you for who you are.

6. Mr. I'm-Better-than-Everyone ...
He won’t do you any favours either. He’ll never smile, or be happy for you, and if you spend long enough with him you’ll start to despise the human race too. Leave him to feel smugly better than anyone, and go meet someone amazing.

7. Paranoid Men ...
Something gave them the green eyed monster, and it’s just never gone away. He’ll presume you're cheating, hate anything that makes you look good and constantly accuse you of flirting with others. He won’t be happy until he’s the only person in your life, so bail now.

8. Men Who Just Haven’t Grown up ...
These 7 Things It's Okay for Men to do ... @Melanie refuse to get a job, blame everyone else for their laziness and unhappiness, and are constantly outraged that they are not respected. If he hasn’t grown up by now, chances are he’ll never take any responsibility, so stay well clear.

9. Cheaters ...
Obviously, it doesn’t matter who this guy has waiting for him at home, if he sees somebody he likes, he’ll seduce them. Save yourself the heartache and live by the old saying, “Once a cheater, always a cheater,” because if it wasn’t true, wouldn’t somebody have proved it wrong by now?

10. Cruel Men ...
The kind of man who gets off from the power of refusing to take you somewhere, or spend money on you, or any type of power at all. He won’t get better, and it’s not because he loves you. Walk away, as fast as you can.
Have you dated one of these types? Or do you know about other dangerous kinds we all should be aware of? Please do share ...
***
Cruel men are those who use their power to manipulate and control their partners. They may start off with small acts of cruelty such as refusing to take you somewhere or refusing to spend money on you. This behavior may seem innocent at first, but it can quickly escalate to more dangerous forms of manipulation and control.
These men may also use guilt and shame to try to control you. They may try to make you feel like you are not worthy of their attention or love. They may also try to make you feel like you are the one causing all the problems in the relationship.
Cruel men may also use threats and intimidation to try to get their way. They may threaten to harm themselves or you if you don't do what they want. They may also threaten to leave you or take away your access to money or other resources.
Cruel men are not likely to get better on their own, so it's important to recognize the signs of a cruel man and take steps to protect yourself. If you are in a relationship with a cruel man, it is important to reach out for help. Talk to a trusted friend or family member, or seek help from a professional.

lilylove: Once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater, Run Run!
jaime: umm my boyfriend hmm long story is 7 out of 10 of things and i am not at all joking around and i have been hot and cold with him. I am in trouble.
Disagreed: I will openly admit that I contain many of the types on this list, but not for the reasons this list suggests. Hence this list is a load of bullshit. The kind of woman who makes a great wife stands by you through thick and thin, and when you have problems, works through them with you. Those who ditch just aren't worth the effort or time. I will admit to having insecurities and what I need is validation, why should I have to feel perfect or adequate with myself 100% of the time?? What kind of expectation is that? Just because I have these insecurities doesn't mean I will be everything else this retarded list suggests. I am probably the least jealous guy you will ever meet, and as long as we communicate well, I'm fine. And I don't need you around all day every day, I do have things to do. So that's just one of the points on this list. Don't condemn a guy just cause he shows some weakness. I guarantee if he shows NO weakness he will play on your attraction to him and he will use you up whether you are consciously aware or not. Do you know why he can do this?? Because of this confidence that you are so infatuated with. He doesn't need you. This is how women end up with "jerks" and think all men are pigs bla bla. If I knew a girl friend of mine was down, I would be there for her, and that to me shows respect and understanding. I would expect the same from her. There are always reasons for a person's demise, so do not be so quick to judge if he happens to be down, and perhaps for a while. Help a guy out. He will cherish and appreciate you even more for it, should a coupling come out from this interaction. And no, this does not necessarily mean he will be clingy. For the most part, this list is a load of shit.
Hbnygirl: does anyone how to view the rest of the list. Each feed I click on I only see number 1 and then a bunch of advertisements, and no arrow to click on :(
Meream: You're welcome Layla! Have fun staying away from these guys. :D
Emma: I'm with that kind of guys num7, Is there any way to change his suspicious reaction with out leaving him??
FupDuckTV: I'm not really any one of those hard-core... I have hints of #8 (but what guy doesn't), but that could just be my easy-going nature. I guess my question is, don't women like "bad boys" from time to time. I'm available, but I think I'm just waiting for the right woman. Girls kiss alot of frogs, but then again so do men.
