It’s arguable that most women seek to either settle down with or marry a man at some point. For those women who are serious about the whole affair, dating can often become quite frustrating. Many have a hard time finding “Mr. Right” simply because their approach in choosing a partner is just wrong. Some women joke that a lot of men think with the wrong head. Similarly, at lot of women think with the wrong part of the brain.
If women wish to have a long and fulfilling relationship that satisfies the majority of their desires then they need to think more logical than emotional. This kind of thinking will help women avoid the following 10 guys who will only waste their time.
#10. The Bad Boy
Yes he’s got swag. Yes he’s got that deep, gruff voice that keeps you on your toes. And yes he’s also got that intriguing look that makes you melt like Fontina cheese on a hot grill. That great feeling when he’s around, you just can’t put your finger on it. But he tends to easily put his finger on a black 9mm whenever he goes riding with his peeps.
He’s strong, masculine and protective; lots of women would swoon over a guy like this because he’s everything but a pushover. Only there’s just one problem: you can’t cross him and he crosses everyone else. At first everything may go nice. But the mystery and adventure can quickly come to end once someone ends up imprisoned or in a body bag.
#9. The Nice Guy
Oh, what a big surprise: “the nice guy” made yet another list. Except no one is really that surprised! Women generally don’t like nice guys for the same reason a lot of men don’t like women who act like dead fish. They are predictable, boring and unchallenging. You ask them how’s the weather and they just might answer, “Cool!” You insult them and they may also respond, “It’s cool.” Guys like this lack a particular oomph and gumption that is mandatory for sustaining eventful and healthy relationships.
These guys are so obsessed with pleasing everyone and not ruffling feathers that you sometimes wonder if they need a few testosterone shots. Just imagine, if you are walking with this guy and he meets up another guy on the street who barks, “Hey, give me your woman!”, he just might say, “Cool, cool” before handing you over and running off like a little girl. And this is providing he doesn’t ask you for permission first.
#8. Momma’s Boy
These are a double edged sword. They often come in two variants. (1) A confident man who has tremendous potential and may even be successful but just can’t cut sufficient ties with his mother OR (2) A nice guy who is uncannily influenced by the thoughts and opinions of his mother. The first guy is more easily redeemable than the second but this isn’t the point.
A good woman knows that a man having a relationship with his mom can be a positive thing. However, when that mother-son relationship hinders progression of a romantic one (e.g. Him asking his mom if he should marry or have sex with his woman), it becomes cause for concern. It’s best to avoid these guys until they sort out themselves. This is providing you have not moved on or decided it’s just not worth the risk by then.
#7. The Misogynist
This is a big one. This guy hates women or thinks they are inferior to men. The most interesting thing about these guys is that not all are blatantly upfront about their contempt for women. Women can find themselves in relationships with such guys because they can appear charming and caring at first. The men may then become abusive, verbally or physically, and their expectations of you as a woman become strikingly clear.
Before you know it you can find yourself unwillingly being a sex slave and forbidden from leaving your own house. And don’t dare question him because you will get much more than just a slap. You have been warned. Learn to spot the signs of a misogynist very early in a relationship and stay far away!
#6. Baby boy
Baby boys come in different shapes and packages. Oftentimes their ego and ding-a-lings may be big (if you’re lucky!) but everything else may consistently be small. The list of “smalls” could include ambition, patience, responsibilities, understanding, bank account, commitment and sense of purpose.
You can very well try making it work with a baby boy, i.e., if you are very keen on raising children or don’t mind having an extra mouth to feed each day. Disclaimer: If you still choose the baby boy and he throws tantrums after you beat him at Pokemon, that’s all on you!
#5. Mr. Wood
Before you get too concerned, know that “Mr Wood” is not who you think. But some guys can truly be as dense as a piece of wood. This guy may appear to know quite a lot about many things but knowledge does not always equate to intelligence. This isn’t necessarily the guy who did not finish college or has a lot of niche interests. This is the guy who can talk about many things yet none of them would interest you.
For instance, he may know many slangs for the word penis. And he may try to impress you by putting cheese curls up his nostrils … before he actually impresses you! Intelligence is sexy. So please do yourself a huge favour and keep “Mr. Wood” and his Tallywacker away from you!
#4. Mr. Show-off
Many women appreciate a man who is not afraid to show them off to the world. But everything has a limit. A man who is obsessed with showing off often has a hard time separating what is more valuable. He may show off his car, his house, his profession and his ability to perform certain tasks. And he will likely continue to show off his woman too … as long as she continues to fit into his standard of things that are superior to what others possess.
For a while this may be all fun and games for both parties, but nothing stays the same forever. The last thing a woman needs is a man who values her on the same level as an object—an object he stops showing off the moment it becomes less new, too old or not as beautiful and exciting as it used to be.
#3. The Playa
What’s amazing about this guy is that his ability to get women hooked on him is far-reaching and never-ending. He may even get caught cheating, live in the act, and would somehow find a way to wiggle his way out of the situation with remarkable allure. His powers seemingly knows no limits because he always has a woman (or four). And the more women he has the more women seem to be attracted to him.
Furthermore, it does not matter if the guy is broke or looks like a chimpanzee, he will just naturally get more women. So what can a good woman do about it? It’s simple, don’t get emotionally involved. The euphoria you may feel from being part of the Playa’s seductive game will only be temporary. When the game is done it’s likely you will be the only one who ends up looking like a monkey.
#2. The Devil
Arguably the worst of them all. “The Devil” is like a refined combination of the “Bad Boy”, “Mr. Show-off” and “The Playa” all in one. He’s stunningly attractive, aggressive, confident, highly sexual and maybe even rich and successful. But don’t be fooled; he has his own agenda. Essentially “The Devil” can likely have any women he desires. Many women dream of such a guy. Think 50 Shades of Grey.
The problem with such a man is that he possesses all of the most desirable traits women prefer. But he generally lacks the kind of humaneness that makes for a healthy and secure relationship. Good luck pinning down this guy. If “The Devil” gets you to remove your panties just once know that you may never want to put them back on. You may constantly be thinking of “The Devil” even years in the future. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Almost like a drug. If you ever spot “The Devil” it may be best you pick up a Bible and run!
#1. Mr. Right
Didn’t expect this one, did you? So a lot of women grow up with the belief that there is “a right man” for her. Yes, someone can be more right (or more compatible with you) but there’s a catch. Finding said person can be more challenging than one thinks, especially since no man is perfect. As a result, women need to be particularly careful of men who always know what to say and do. These are the type of men who can easily sweep you off your feet.
This isn’t a Disney movie; this is real life and some men are versed at manipulating women. It may sound counterproductive, but the man who may be most right for you may be the one who knows how to make you tick but chooses not to. Such a man may love you deeply but has no desire to control you. Find yourself a real man who is not always right and is open to admitting that he makes mistakes!
