The Different Types of Men to Stay Away from ...

Currently on the market? Good for you, girl! But make sure you read this post before rushing into a new relationship. Here are ten types of men that are not likely to make you happy, and from my point of view, it's better to stay away from them as soon as they show one of these patterns.

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.

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.

3 Guys That Love Sports More then 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.

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.

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 ...

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 :(
Cartman You need a better editor. This is fraught with spelling mistakes. Example "then" when it should be "than" or "your" when it should be "you're".
- Heather Hello! We didn't have a full-time editor, however we are currently revamping a lot of posts. :)
RS I completely disagree with all of these as it is just saying to stay away from all types of men. Nothing in this world is perfect and everyone has flaws one way or another some reasons to defects of character are because of deeper reasons where they can learn and grow within and with a little help professionally or non professionaly.
Chumpy The only one I come close to is the sport on... Luckily my wife is mad on sport too !! Yes, they do exist.
Ryan #3- Never date a girl who doesn't know the difference between "then" and "than". Probably makes me too critical.
shannon I don't know if my ex was one of these mabey even all after we broke up (it ended badly) i change become less pleased with my self everyday and now i think of my self someone who will hurt anyone and will alway be hurt so dnt fall in love...
- Sheila Hi Shannon, That's the wrong way to look at it. Love is beautiful...with the right person of course. And I know it's hard to trust again and I'm not saying you have to fall for the next person who comes along but give love a chance. *Hug*
No Ok, i am a teen and i really like this guy who goes to my church. I liked him for 2 years now and i don't think he knows me because i'm too shy. :( But that's not the only problem. My friend (that goes to my church too) told me a friend of the guy i like's girlfriend found out that they smoke weed sometimes. And he also has alot of issues in his life. But i have a friend who is friends with him and she said he can be really nice when he is happier. Even when i hear these bad things about him i still really like him. Which is weird because usually when i like someone and i hear something bad about them i just get over them but i can't do that about him. <3
uri LOL these 10 just described 90% of all men on the planet
- Beznik im sure if someone made a list of women you shouldn't date 90 percent would be on the list. I found it interesting a guy is mean if he won't spend a lot of money on a woman and take her wherever he wants. Maybe if your married I can see this being annoying but if you are jsut dating what makes you think you are entitled? Clearly she's never experienced real abuse if thats her definition.
- Denise I'm glad my man belongs to the balanced 10%.
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.
hanna So there is this really smart and cute guy at school. He is super quiet to me but i know that he likes me. whenever we are together, he is really really quiet. He's sometimes kind of boring....should i avoid these king of guys?
charlene I just want a guy who does what I do for him, hugs, kisses and talks about stuff.
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.
J Please don't embarrass yourself in the future by misusing "then" and "than".
- HotXbuns @J, lol!
- Sheila Hey J, I'm sure it was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out though :)
Leni Dated Nr.6. It was fun, until when we recently had a fling again he said i had used a "weak moment". Strangely i clearly remember my surprise when he had suddenly kissed me...
Tanya I saw the link to this blog and thought "Oh.. I hope my boyfriend doesn't fall into any of these categories," and read it just to see if he did. Turns out he doesn't! Guess he's a keeper =) fantastic blog btw
- Sheila Ooo yaay Tanya, Not all of us are that lucky so good for you ;) Keep visiting!
Sheila Lolll qwerty, I don't mean to sound shallow but yeah I agree. Either that or he really has to know his way around!
asdf I think that those who are complaining about this list falls to the list #1... I think that these kind of men are other men should stay also away from.
- Sheila Hahaha Asdf, True true :D
Siobhan haha this post is great! It definately made me smile. I'd like to see a list of 10 types of women to stay away from too. I did wonder how you'd even start dating a 'cruel man' if he never takes you out in the first place though lol
- Sheila Hey Siobhan, Glad you liked the post! We'll definitely add "10 types of women to stay away from" on our list of to-do posts. I know my best friend's ex is making that list for sure :p *hopes he doesn't read this*
chidimma what about a guy that loves his gym more than he loves you, can you beat that
- Sheila hahaha Chidimma, i would say that is definitely a problem.. maybe you could interest him in other types of workouts maybe ;)
Theo I saw Chase Crawford up close a few months back and he was just way too pretty for my liking. Guys with more product in their hair than me deserve to be removed from my MOnday night line up. That and blah season arcs :) and you got it right with born complainers. everytime I'm like oh I might like this guy I am instantly repulsed by the stuff he complains about and thinks I want him to share. gross. if you need a therapist I'm not your gal. ready to listen not ready to spend all day doing it especially for negative bits and pieces. sports lovers kind of are attractive though...lol sort of manly? I don't know!
- Sheila hehe Theo, every day i get to know you a little better! i like my men to play sports rather than watch them... watching them is just boring for me!
Drea Great Post !!!
louise jockeys. irish jockeys. never, ever, ever go there!
Sweety I just love this thank you...
- Sheila Hey Sweety, Use it wisely :)
JJ another type to stay away: insecure guys. If a guy is insecure, it's very difficult for him to change and eventually he'll become more possessive and expects you to spend every waking moment with him. And he'll become troublesome to deal with. Believe me. I'm speaking from experience.
- Sheila JJ, I've been there too! Insecurity. Then the questions. Then the jealousy. Then the obsession. Argh! So if you figure out at the very beginning that your boyfriend has insecurity issues, get out! He will not change no matter how much he says he's trying!
JIMBO!!! Why??? For more male bashing?
- Rose Jimbo, I would love your thoughts on my counter-post. My female-oriented blog has recently picked up some male readers and I am looking for some solid feedback.
- Mark Most of these describe me. I really hope I can improve myself now that I am aware.
- Sheila Jimbo, It goes both ways....this bashing business. And this post is hardly male bashing. What's wrong with a little advice on the wrong kinds of men?
Meream Jimbo: You're right. But then this is a site for women so we like to give warnings to fellow women. Haha kidding. But yeah, you're right and I guess, from your comment, us women will make sure to avoid BEING these types of women. :)
- Ciarra trust me, i've met dealt with and nearly dated the pretty boy. :P
JIMBO!!! All of these types can also go for women as well. I guess there must be alot of broken hearts out there. Could it be possible that you are at this point in life?
Tara Crazy talk
christine try having 2, 6, 8, 10 all in one annoying package
emma i met a guy thru chatting and he impressed me a lol n used to tlk to me for hrs in cell bt suddenly he s lyk not responding ma calls n neithr contacting wid me so wat shud i do?
pink ya just stay with him or talk to him on cell alot but then u got the GET AWAY FROM ME!! thing
Emma I'm with that kind of guys num7, Is there any way to change his suspicious reaction with out leaving him??
Meream You're welcome Layla! Have fun staying away from these guys. :D
layla Wow, so many different types of man to avoid! Thank you for the article.
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.
MARY In think mine has a little of all these traits..I did'nt know him long enough..he rushed me..I wonder why????????
tetz You haven't talked about the ones that won't have any problem in using their physical superiority in order to threaten you and make you do as he wishes or else... Currently, I'm with a #8 who also haves some traits of #7 -- that is, a paranoid child!
Miss I have the worst problem attracting #2 and #3s and let me tell you they are the most selfish kind!
