9 types of guys to avoid

Ever met an amazing guy only to realize a few days later he’s a little on the weird side? Or even worse, he’s a full-out psycho in a normal man’s body? It happens to the best of us, and there are a few ways to fix this dating disaster. Read on to find out which types of guys to avoid at all costs.

Types of guys to avoid #1

The Stalker

He plays it cool at first, but develops an obsession within days and is soon calling, texting and e-mailing you several times a day; he always wants to know where you are, what you are doing and who you’re with, and tends to call over and over again if you don’t answer the first time.

The remedy: Tell him you’re not ready for anything serious and like to keep your time (and your freedom!) to yourself. If he doesn’t get the hint, ignore his calls and cut off all communication.

Types of guys to avoid #2

The Liar

His stories never add up, his facts are always off, and his personality seems too good to be true? It probably is. Men like this like to get attention by making up grandiose tales to tell their friends and using white lies to cover up any little indiscretion. They know they’re liars, and they don’t care; either they think it’s okay, or they figure they’ve gotten this far without being honest, why start now?

The remedy: Tell him the truth; you feel like you never know if he’s lying or not, and that guessing games are not your thing.

Types of guys to avoid #3

The Raging Alcoholic

You’re scared to go for drinks with him because he can never stop after one or two; he usually doesn’t remember what happened the night before; every time you hang out, alcohol is involved in some capacity. After a few drinks, he’s ready to fight anyone that walks by him.

The remedy: Tell him you’re worried about him and his partying ways, and see if he wants to spend some quiet nights at home or go on some daytime dates. If not, kick him to the curb.

Types of guys to avoid #4

The Insulter

This guy probably got a lot of attention in high school by treating girls badly, and he thinks he’s still got game. He’s constantly putting you, his friends, and everyone else who happens to be within earshot down. This makes him feel big and powerful. Unfortunately it also makes him look like a big a-hole.

The remedy: Tell him you’re not just any girl and that you deserve better. It’s time to move on!

Types of guys to avoid #5

The Sports Fanatic

(complete with face paint)
He’s always watching the game, whether it’s hockey, football, soccer, or baseball; boy’s night is every night because there are constantly men, beer and sports TV at his house; he belongs to 23 different pools; his idea of a date is going to the corner pub and (you guessed it!) watching the game.

The remedy: Tell him there’s more to life for you than sports, and that you need to get out there and experience it; if he wants to join you, he’ll have to turn that TV off for a while.

  1. Man… I didn’t think painting a duck face on my belly and an ‘O’ on my face was such a bad thing. That would explain why I failed so hard at picking up ladies at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s day. =) Everyone read this! Foiled again.

  2. [...] 9 guys everyone should avoid. [...]

  3. Gina says:

    Guess we need to avoid them all…99.9% of them have at least 8 of these traits at different stages of their lives, so now what do we women do? Give them a chance? Because they are nervous or acting a way we want them too…well nice excuse for them but I think it’s deeper than that for them. Testosterone must be a terrible thing to have flowing through your mind and loins.

  4. You should also avoid The Guy Who Lives With His Mother

    This one is easy to justify in your head – “Well…he needs to take care of his family,” or “It’s super temporary and it’s only because he’s trying to save money.” No. The second he says you can’t chill at his place because it’s his mom’s night to watch Desperate Housewives, say “peace.” Avoid if you can. There’s nothing like always having the guy in your apartment, or having to endure the walk of shame past his parents in their bathrobes. It also implies a few insecurities about growing up and being self-sufficient, something that is imperative to a relationship. Moving along…

  5. Avoid The Officer Man:
    This man represents the government type. These men are the police, fireman, correction officers, and well, you get my point !, these men think their word is god and that their authority makes them better than the average man. My officer boyfriend once told me, that the “police are like god”……yes thats what I said, god!, he said,they are like god because they can do anything they want to you, for example: At a traffic stop, they have the power to tow your vehicle, write you a ticket, or let you go if they want to!, when he said that I imagined why some cops think they are above the law, There egos are so big, its a wonder they can stand, with the weight on their shoulders!. He was 5 foot 3 but the way he talked, youd think he was 6 foot 3, he was sexy though, and officers do know how to treat a woman !. Just be careful though, because their main purpose in bed is to please themselves!
