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.
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.
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.
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.

Rose: First off, I'm not sure how I feel about this post. In general, I tend to stop reading posts with this many spelling and grammar errors. If you have something to communicate that can be taken even mildly offensively, try to spell/grammar check. Second, anything that generalizes someone based on one character trait is always touchy business. My co-author on my blog once took a beating for referring to women as being "catty". She wasn't even aiming for stereotypical but it was certainly perceived that way. Why encourage judging someone's potential based upon their looks, interests, hobbies, past romances, etc.? Would you want a guy to avoid you because you checked yourself out in the mirror too often? Does he think it makes you insecure or vain? Obviously mental and physical abuse is never ok. But once a cheater always a cheater? Have you ever made a mistake in your life and needed to be forgiven for it? I've been with my husband for 11 years now. We got past an infidelity and, had we not, we would have missed out on the rest of our lives together. My friend was just left heartbroken and wounded Christmas Day. She swears she will never trust again. Should men shun her because she's "damaged goods"? Does she deserve to be alone because she can't see past her current heartbreak and anger? Maybe a post encouraging people to help others heal, turn their faults into positives, and be trusting over cynical and pessimistic would be better. Maybe our country's divorce rate is so high because people are constantly looking for faults in their partners as ways of covering up their own.
charlene: I just want a guy who does what I do for him, hugs, kisses and talks about stuff.
Olga: I agree with FupDuckTV, What man isn't a bit childish ... But as for the "bad guy" attraction - I don't think so... I have a couple of friends who have this patter of falling for the assholes who make them miserable, but I don't think women in general look for that kind of relationship. It's more about "mature", "manly", "confident", "with great sense of humor", "strong yet respective of women" kind of type, with whom you feel like a lady. BTW, there is one more type to look out for - the perverts. They come in all shapes and ages... My ex-boss turned out to be one, it all got into the open after I left the company, but still... He fooled everyone, all the staff thought he was such a great man ...
