Flair Magazine Most of us have already come across our fair share of guys with such unappealing qualities in the past. Some of us have already dated them, and that’s okay. It’s time to move on, though. If you haven’t dated these questionable guys, keep your eyes open. It’s always good to know what to avoid.
The Master Manipulator
This one is sometimes sneaky and can’t be discerned right away but once you diagnose him, get out of there while you can! He’s always shifting the blame onto you. Somehow, he can make anything sound like it’s your fault even if it had nothing to do with you. He constantly gets you to act the way he wants you to out of guilt or fear of disappointing him. Who wants to live with that kind of stress in their lives? Shamelessly make a run for it and don’t look back!
Mr. I’m Always Right
This guy is very easy to spot. He believes he’s got all the answers to everything and he can quickly make a habit of getting on your nerves. I bet you can think of at least one guy you know with this quality right now, whether you’ve dated him in the past or not. If you’re currently dating him, we recommend you say goodbye or change the rules because this guy has to have all the power in the relationship. He can’t have it any other way. I hope you see where we’re going with this. You want to be equal partners, instead.
The One Without Self-Control
Although one or two random outbursts can be forgiven, you should never tolerate more. If he has a habit of yelling or just getting really angry, he is not an option for you. He will usually apologize right after with an excuse that he believes justifies his behavior. Don’t tolerate it. We don’t care how cute or sweet he can be sometimes. It’s not enough.
Mama’s Boy
That’s the type of guy who is so used to having everything handed to him on a silver platter without having to lift a finger. Just no! He doesn’t feel the need to earn your trust or your time because he thinks he deserves them. He probably won’t even ask you out but flirt with you just enough to make you feel compelled to ask him instead. Again, no! Not okay. Who wants to be with a guy who’s so entitled that he doesn’t ever make the effort to pursue you like a real man?
Wandering Eyes
We don’t even know how to emphasize this enough. You’re valuable. If he doesn’t see your value, you don’t want him around. So simple. If he gets cozy with other girls more than a good friend would, he might as well be giving you the golden ticket to break up with him. You don’t need a sign from heaven to tell you he’s cheating. You can just use your eyes. Of course, we’re not telling you to be paranoid about it but if it’s obvious to everyone else that he’s unfaithful, it should be obvious to you.
The Passive Type
Whether he’s scared to get out of his comfort zone or he’s just lazy, neither is a good sign. You’ll always crave adventure in a relationship and you can’t deny that every girl wants at least a semi-dauntless-type guy to conquer mountains with. This guy will always hold you back or tell you to do things yourself. He’s not fun loving or very motivated or excited about life. You don’t want such negative qualities influencing you and draining all the joy from your life. Trust us.
