Men to Avoid Dating

Being able to spot a man that will be bad for you in the long run is often difficult, especially if you have the "hots" for him. There are three types of men to steer clear of.
A twinkle in a girl’s eye can often blind her from recognizing her date is a "bad boy". When there is chemistry between two people, the instincts in charge of qualifying a man get suppressed.

Making sure gut feelings are up and operating will increase a woman’s chance of meeting a great guy and waste less time on the not-so-great ones.

Here are a few types you will want to steer clear of at all costs; even if you have feelings for them.

1. The Actor. This is the guy that tells you everything you want to hear and puts up the front that fits what you are looking for perfectly. This type of guy is clever, sharp, and manipulative. His number one goal is to get you into bed as fast as he can. He can often be detected early on if he gives too much, too soon. If he is showering you with gifts, compliments, and emotions, he is trying to buy you. Chances are this guy will drop you cold, if you do not sleep with him after a few dates. Guys like this usually are playing this game with many women simultaneously.

2. The massive ego. Successful relationships have a give-and-take component to them. If you are always rearranging your schedule to fit into his and this act is never reciprocated, this is the wrong guy. If a man is so obsessed with his work, accomplishments, and sports and is unwilling to modify his schedule for you, you will never be a priority for him. Being in a relationship with a self-absorbed man will not only leave you unfulfilled, but lonely as well.

3. The guy’s guy. There is nothing wrong with a man that likes to hang out with other men for certain occasions. Maybe playing basketball, watching the game, or whatever else men do together. Caution should be taken if hanging out with the guys is all he seems to enjoy. A man, who doesn’t have any female friends and does not enjoy hanging out with women on a platonic level, should be avoided. Men like this often do not place the same level of value on a woman’s accomplishment as a man’s. Further, these men typically do not understand women, nor do they want to. Dating a man like this will give your self-esteem a kick.

It is very difficult to separate a good catch from one of these when you are totally infatuated, in-like, or in-love. They are easy to spot, when you have absolutely no fire towards them.

The trick is to make a commitment to yourself, that you will let the logical side of your brain make the decisions for you. Emotions can blur everything, so sometimes it is helpful to bring in a friend that is completely neutral.
