Men that women should be wary of

How come you always seem to end up with the bad guys when there are so many nice men in the world? And how do you avoid them?

Basically, trust your instincts. If he seems flaky, he is flaky. Like if he is always checking out other women, or his phone is full of messages from girls, then it is most unlikely he will never be faithful.

He probably secretly despises women and will tell you whatever you want to hear – and too soon. Was he sweet-talking you within minutes when you first met, or talking about marriage within weeks? He just loves a new conquest, and will never be truly yours.

Never ignore a history of failed relationships. It suggests a lot of problems – like personality disorders, especially if his exes were all vulnerable or financially dependent.

If you have only been dating for a few weeks and he is already hard to find, always late and changing his plans, then he is probably always going to be like that. When a guy is truly into you, he will be there. So if he is not, he is not worth the effort.

Watch his priorities. They are all wrong if he is choosing late nights over performing well at work. You will forever be fighting over what really matters in life.

Dump any guy you catch lying, and worry if you have not met any of his friends. That is probably because most of them are women, or he is afraid one of his male friends will sell him out.

RED FLAG

Watch out if he acts weird when you call. He is probably with another woman. And if he is endlessly messaging when you are together, or taking calls in another room, then it is probably her chasing him.

Worry if he never really listens to what you say, doesn’t do what you want, is obsessed with his looks, always seems to be angry and blames you for everything, is moody, difficult to please, puts you down or calls you names.

Also drinks heavily, uses drugs, cheats on you, is in any way violent, does not seem interested in you except for food or sex, speaks badly of other women in his life, checks up on you far too often, gets upset when you are with your friends or family, accuses you of cheating on him, is impatient with children, or treats animals badly.

If a few of these match your guy, run for the hills.

And the most dangerous bad guy of all...? A married man! He will make you feel you are the most beautiful woman in the world. You will believe everything he says, imagine a future together, and more than likely fall completely in love. But he will never leave his wife.

Second most dangerous? A man who thinks his mother is perfect. If there is ever an issue between you and her, you will lose. Every time. But bad guys always like easy victims. So keep your wits about you, and go slowly, and they will always move on. And you can find someone better.
