It’s a well-known fact that everyone has their own opinion of what type of man is best for them.

Some people prefer tall, dark, and handsome, while others find themselves drawn to the rugged handsomeness of blonds with blue eyes.

However, there are some types of men that women should avoid at all costs if they want to be happy in a relationship.

In this article, we discuss eleven different types of men every woman should avoid dating like the plague!

If the types of men you attract are always breaking your heart, it’s critical to figure out what’s drawing you to them in the first place.

1. Mr. Stingy

This guy has excellent taste and a modest budget. He may tell you how he appreciates the best in life, yet he normally relies on you to pay for most things.

You are attracted to him because he gets his energy from your nurturing qualities and your capability to be a caregiver.

He’ll talk about his objectives, such as trying to get his finances in order, which gives you hope for the future with him. He might even claim that he is “working for us.”

When you’ve put up with it for a long time, you start to notice that the financial status is still not correct.

You discover that he leaves his wallet in another pair of pants, never refuses when you offer to pay and receives poor gifts as carefully selected by you.

Do yourself a favor and reconsider your connection before you acquire yourself an enormous credit card bill due to your generosity.

We are naturally giving, but become irritated when our generosity isn’t acknowledged.

Relationships are a time and financial investment. If he’s cheap now, it’ll show you what your future with him will be like.

2. Mr. Narcissist

This guy is a real charmer and can make you feel like the only woman in the world when he’s around, but he is a real pain when things don’t go his way.

He’s got an entourage of admirers and makes the most of being in the spotlight, but it isn’t until you get to know him better that you discover how self-centered he really is.

This guy will be so caught up in himself that everything revolves around him. He can’t handle constructive criticism or resistance very well, which makes it hard for you to maintain a healthy relationship with him over time.

He’s got many friends but no real confidants because nobody wants to be around his ego all the time!

If this type of man is dominating your life, even if he appears charming and exciting, start to take a step back and give yourself time to discover if this is really the type of partner you want.

It’s one thing having an ego that makes you feel good about yourself, but it is another when your self-esteem starts taking over every aspect of life!

You need someone who can support both your highs and lows, not just be on the same ride as you.

This guy might seem like Prince Charming at first, but he will turn out to be nothing more than a frog in disguise!

3. Mr. Over-Sensitive Guy

There’s no denying that this guy can be emotionally sensitive, but he also has a tendency to take things very personally.

He’ll claim to want an equal relationship where you both share your feelings and support each other through difficult times, yet when something upsets him, he will get really angry or sulk in a corner.

He’s quick to take offense and is often defensive about the smallest of things, which makes it difficult for you to have an open discussion with him when something goes wrong or he feels insecure.

This kind of guy may be very creative, but his emotional sensitivity can make life really hard for those close to him!

You need to learn how to be kind and sensitive, but it is equally important that you can set limits with other people without them taking your actions personally.

If he does this, think about whether his sensitivities could actually indicate a lack of self-respect or insecurity in the long term. The best relationships are grounded in mutual respect!

4. Mr. Pretend Everything Is Fine

We all have challenges in life, but this guy is the king of refusing to even acknowledge his problems, let alone deal with them!

Maybe he lost his job or had a fight with you and doesn’t want to talk about it, so decides not to say anything until everything blows up into an argument.

He’ll refuse to discuss difficult topics, preferring instead to ignore them until they go away.

This guy is obviously lacking in self-confidence and doesn’t want you to see the real him because he feels like a failure or an outcast!

It’s better, to be honest about your problems than pretend everything is fine when it isn’t!

You deserve a partner who is honest and open with you, not someone who tries to sweep their problems under the rug.

If he can’t even admit his faults or weaknesses, then it’s time for him to grow up and take responsibility for them because hiding from your problems does nothing but make things worse in the long run!

5. Mr. Bachelor

This guy is a player and ladies’ man who loves to live the high life, but he isn’t capable of having any real kind of commitment.

He will spend his time partying with friends (and flirting with girls), avoiding anything serious like the plague!

Sure, this type of man might have lots going for him on the outside, but his flaky behavior makes him unreliable and undependable.

He’ll make big promises to you, only for them to go unfulfilled because he’s really not that interested in anything serious anyway!

It takes two people to keep a relationship going, so if this guy isn’t making any effort, then think about whether it is worth investing your time in him.

He obviously doesn’t care enough about you to put any work into the relationship!

You deserve someone who takes their promises seriously and is willing to make an effort with you, so if this guy isn’t prepared to do that, then it’s definitely time for him to move on!

6. Mr. Jealous

This guy might seem like he has a possessive streak, but it’s actually his insecurities that are showing through!

He’ll be really suspicious of your every move, checking up on you all the time to make sure you’re not flirting with other guys or doing anything behind his back!

If this man doesn’t trust you, even though he has no reason not to, it’s time for him to take a look at his own insecurities that are making him behave like this.

He wants someone who is completely dedicated and loyal to them, so if you’re having trouble with your guy pressuring you about where you go or who you talk to, ask yourself whether he actually has a serious insecurity issue.

This behavior is controlling and unhealthy, so if he can’t trust you 100% then it’s time for him to move on!

7. Mr. Clingy

This guy is just too clingy and desperate for your attention, always wanting to spend every second of the day with you!

He’s afraid of being apart from you, so he’ll call or text non-stop until you respond to his text!

If this man doesn’t get enough attention, then it soon becomes a problem, making him start acting out in a way that is not good for the relationship.

It’s time to face it: some people just need more attention than others and if this guy can’t handle being apart from you, then he might be poorly equipped for life without you!

You deserve someone who loves your independence as much as they love you!

Don’t let a clingy guy trap you into being with him just because he can’t stand to be apart from you.

You need someone who loves having their own space as much as they enjoy spending time with you, so if this man is too dependent on your attention, then it’s definitely time for him to move on.

8. Mr. Player

This guy is a commitment-phobe and probably has no intention of settling down anytime soon!

He’ll tell you he’s not ready for anything serious, but when it comes to the crunch, he’ll stay with you only until someone better (and more attractive) appears on his radar!

If this man can’t be honest with you about his intentions towards your relationship, then it’s time for him to move on so he can find someone who will match up to his standards.

He wants a girl who is fun, flirty, and won’t tie them down, but this isn’t the kind of woman that any man should settle down with!

You deserve more than someone who treats you like a casual plaything, so if this guy is telling lies about his commitment-phobic nature, then it’s time for him to move on!

You deserve more than being treated as second best, which is exactly how he’ll start treating you after the honeymoon period ends. It’s better for both of you if he just moves on before you get hurt.

10. Mr. Momma’s Boy

This guy is so used to his mother’s constant interfering and controlling behavior that he can’t function without her!

He’ll only ever be with someone who lets him ignore their own needs for his mom’s sake, which isn’t a good foundation for any relationship.

You deserve more than being treated like you’re just there to support his mom, so if this man is too attached to his mother’s apron strings, then it’s time for him to move on!

He’ll always put her before you and even after he gets married, she’ll still call the shots.  

You’re better off looking for someone who can stand up to their own parents rather than being dragged along in the background.

11. Mr. Materialistic

This man is too busy flaunting his wealth to notice that you’re not interested in him for money!  

He’ll show off just how much he has without noticing that it’s making other people uncomfortable or turning them away because they can’t compete with all of his expensive gifts and dinners out.

If money is the only thing that makes this guy tick, then it’s time for him to move on because you deserve better than someone who can’t see past your wallet!

He’ll never be able to show his real emotions or give you what you really need because he just doesn’t have anything else about him worth admiring.

The Different Types of Guys to Avoid in 2024

Ask the question, which one of the five types of men below are you dating?

Is it time to move on, or are you happy with the man you have chosen for yourself?

The Complainer

This is the individual who chooses to be immobilized by his past. He finds it tough to advance in life because he’s always looking back. He decides to lay the blame for his current difficulties on his previous issues. As a result, he becomes a “Why Baby,” in my terminology.

The Worrier

This is the guy who isn’t paralysed by his past but is worried about the future because he’s always looking forward. He’s afraid to take a step ahead. But, unlike the Whiner, the Worrier does not ask “Why?”

He’s too absorbed in contemplating, “What if?” Perhaps this explains why, while it might appear that all successful people believe “why,” they don’t totally agree on it.

The Waiter

This is the guy who is currently undecided. He isn’t content with his present situation, and he wants things to change, but isn’t willing to make any changes himself.

He’s waiting for a miracle or act of God to alter his circumstances or life. He believes that someone will come along and save him while he sits back and reaps the benefits.

He finds it hard to change his lifestyle. He has trouble accepting the fact that he needs help, but doesn’t want any outside forces dictating what path should take him in life – including professional counselors or support groups for people with similar problems as himself!

This individual seems stubbornly convinced of having all possible answers without seeking out suitable guidance on how best to handle these issues oneself.

Although this man cares about improving certain aspects related to family relationships (i.e. better communication), other areas are either untouched by thoughts/efforts thus far, or they are ignored.

The Deeply Hurt

This is the guy who lives alone and suffers in silence. He’s still hurting from his prior experiences, he feels powerless in the present, and he has little confidence about his future.

He’s trapped in remorse and guilt, and it’s tough for him to talk about it because he doesn’t trust anyone. He’s either too furious, too afraid, or too ashamed to go ahead, so he questions himself, others, and even God.

The Warrior

This is the type of man who doesn’t complain about his past, isn’t concerned about his future, isn’t waiting to be rescued from his current condition, and isn’t afraid of being hurt again because he’s more preoccupied with leaving a legacy. He’s ready to battle for his family, children, and brothers.

He’s more concerned with his reputation than his situations, his fate rather than the detours in his journey, and his legacy over the losses he’s suffered.

He is a fighter at heart, and he’d prefer to die with a spear in his chest rather than one in his back. His motto is “no retreat, no surrender.”

What does it imply to be attracted to these sorts of guys?

The bottom line is there isn’t any perfect guy.

Every person has their own flaws. It is up to you which ones are deal-breakers or not. Even if you find out they have some of the issues mentioned above, it doesn’t mean that everything’s over.

The relationship might be worth sticking with and trying to fix whatever problems exist in your love life at this point!

Just don’t forget there are always two people involved in a partnership – no one knows what goes on between them but themselves alone!

Your partner may be struggling with his own set of challenges, so give him nothing but unconditional support rather than criticism.

In the end, if he ends making you happy – it doesn’t matter what kind of guy he is!
