The dating world is huge, and there are high odds of running into a nutcase or two. Arm yourself with the low-down on women you should avoid! When you’re out there in the world of dating, you get to meet loads of different women whom, in retrospect, you probably shouldn’t have dated in the first place. At the start, they may seem pretty normal, despite their unique little quirks. But behind those little quirks are underlying clues that might reveal more about their personality, a personality that may turn out to be damaging to you and to your budding relationship.
Are you one of those guys who always seem to date the wrong woman? Are you constantly lured into what you think may be the start of a wonderful relationship, only to find out that she’s not what she seems? Are you sick and tired of getting your heart, your wallet or your ego smashed into pieces by a woman you tried so hard to treat well?
How To Spot The Women You Shouldn’t Date
The Gold Digger:
Some men like to play the old-fashioned gentleman, paying for his date’s meal or drinks, and some women prefer to split the bill 50/50. A gold digger, on the other hand, doesn’t just think men should pay for dinner. She thinks they should pay for everything. If your date doesn’t offer to pay her way, or worse, doesn’t even bring money out on your date, then she could be trouble. By all means, give her a couple of chances to “remember” her wallet, but if she’s still expecting you to pay for everything five dates in, kick her to the curb.
The Drama Queen:
You know those women who say that they hate drama, and yet it always follows them around like a cloud of stink? She makes a big deal out of the smallest things. She’ll turn on the waterworks just to get what she wants. And she might even induce the drama by getting herself into situations that require the help of a knight in shining armor – that’s you.
If you personally love drama, then you’re sure to get along, but your relationship will most likely get into a host of complicated scenarios.
The Needy Girl:
Sometimes it’s nice to know that your girlfriend feels like she needs you, even if it is just to reach the higher shelves in her kitchen, or get rid of spiders that have wandered into her apartment. Some women take that neediness way too far, however, and once she has a boyfriend, she finds it difficult to function without your presence, sometimes going so far as to cut off all contact with her friends so that she can spend her waking hours hanging out with you. Of course, you don’t get a say in whether you want a break from her from time to time.
Ms. Dependent:
Why do it herself when she can ask you to do it? Ms. Dependent is the perpetual damsel in distress. She’s always putting on the “poor me” act, and she expects you to do everything for her. The worst part is that when you start to wean her off your assistance with some tough love, she’ll start going on about how you don’t really care about her enough to help her.
The Chameleon:
Leave her to her own devices and she won’t have much of a personality. In her attempt to get you to like her, she’ll start mimicking everything you do. Whatever you’re into is her latest interest. You may think this is ideal since she’d be down to do anything you want to do. However, she may often be very susceptible to suggestion. She’s mirroring everything you do, and does everything you say. But if you ask her for her own views on things, she might not be able to give you an answer.
The Daydreamer:
Daydreaming is fine, however, she may be living in her own fantasy world. She sees what she wants to see and hears what she wants hear. She tends to have selective hearing loss whenever you’re telling her something she doesn’t want to deal with. In her mind, everything is fine and dandy, and she avoids conflicts instead of dealing with them.
You, in turn, end up taking in a huge chunk of the work required to make your relationship last. She’s in it for the good times, but you may not be able to count on her when the bad times come
The Suffocator:
She’s relentlessly breathing down your neck, wanting to know everything you’re up to. She’s clingy, possessive, and intolerant of not being able to know the latest thing that’s happening in your life. You may notice that she always wants you to reply to her messages ASAP.
She doesn’t take no for an answer when she wants to see you. She gets angry whenever you’re not within her sights. At first, it may seem like she’s just a bit attached because she likes you so much. But after a while, you’ll realize that she’s like this because she’s deathly afraid of any sign that you might disappear on her.
She’s Too Secretive:
On the other hand, a girl who keeps too many secrets from her man is asking for trouble too. After all, trust works both ways. Women are just as likely to cheat on a partner as men, and a girlfriend who is cagey about telling you her plans, who hides texts and emails, or just flat-out lies about where she’s going to be, is definitely up to something. Confrontation only leads to arguments, while following her when she goes out is just plain creepy. If your partner is keeping too many secrets, then it’s time to show her the door.
She Hates All Your Friends:
When you start getting serious with a girl, you want to introduce her to your boys, not just because you want to show off your sexy girlfriend, but also because you spend a lot of time with your friends, and you want them all to get along. Warning bells should start ringing immediately if she starts telling you on the way home how she didn’t really like your friends, or that they were mean to her. Usually, the chances are none of it is true. What’s really happening is that she wants to alienate you from your mates, so she can have you all to herself. Remember though, to analyze her concerns carefully when she points out something about your friends, lest you lose your God sent chance to unearth the truth about your mates.
Domineering:
Some guys like to be dominated a little in the bedroom. Well, whatever you get up to behind closed doors is your own business. However, when it comes to daylight hours, it’s important to remember that relationships should be an equal partnership, with no one person “in charge” of the other. Some women prefer instead to impose their will on their partner right from the start, making decisions on behalf of the two of you about little things, like dinner plans, right up to the very big things – including when and where you move in together, or even when you’re getting hitched!
Party Girl:
Research shows that 12% of us still meet our partners at bars and clubs – though they have to be the worst places to try and start a serious relationship. If you meet your date at a bar, don’t be surprised if she turns out be a party girl, and is able to drink you under the table. These girls are great fun at the start of a relationship, but you can soon find yourself tiring – emotionally and physically – from their constant partying. If she won’t give up the clubs for you, then it might be time to give her up – for the good of your liver.
