Types of guys to avoid #6

The Pretty Boy

He spends more time in front of the mirror than you do, and we’re not talking minutes, we’re talking hours. He looks at his reflection in every store window you walk by, and excuses himself several times to go check his hair. This guy is high-maintenance; you find yourself sitting on the couch waiting for him to get ready.

The remedy: Tell him he spends way too much time on his looks and not enough focusing on what’s important – like you.

Types of guys to avoid #7

The Party Animal

A well-known cousin of the raging alcoholic, the party animal is always looking for the next bash to crash. He always knows about every party, and makes an appearance at all of them – no matter what. Even at 5 a.m. when you want to get him into bed, he’s on the prowl for a wild time.

The remedy: See if he’s down for some quiet time. If that’s not on his agenda, pencil yourself out.

Types of guys to avoid #8

The Playboy

This guy always has a different girl in his passenger seat, and they’re all his “cousins”; he’s always texting and his phone rings off the hook; he knows how to charm the pants off of anyone; he doesn’t always answer his phone, and makes up silly excuses when he doesn’t.

The remedy: If you really like him, beat him at his own game; start seeing other guys and hanging out with your guy friends and see how he feels. If he keeps it up, say goodbye.

The Sex Fiend

The sex fiend has a one-track mind. All he thinks about is sex, how to get it, and how to relate everything to it; he’s constantly making inappropriate comments, no matter who’s around; he always makes stupid jokes about sex; his friends even call him “horndawg”.

The remedy: Try to find out what his other interests are. If he has none, tell him to go find it elsewhere.

Myriad types of guys to avoid

If you encounter one of these guys and you really like him, give him a chance; maybe he’s just nervous or acting how he thinks you want him to act. If he keeps it up, kick him out; nobody needs to waste their time trying to change someone. And be sure to let us know if you’ve ever encountered some of these or other types I may have missed!

9 Types of Guys to Avoid - COMMENTS

  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!
