People aren’t always who they appear to be. After dating a guy for a little while or after getting to know a man for a few weeks, you may realize that he isn’t exactly what you thought or expected him to be. And in the dating pool, there are definitely some men that you want to avoid dating at all costs, here are 15 of them.

1. The player

No woman really wants to date a player, but for some reason a lot of females are attracted to them. Newsflash: a player has and wants no future with you. As the name entails, he’s doing nothing but playing you, wasting your time, and letting you go whenever he’s found a new lady to mess with. Players only want side pieces, and we’re all worth a lot more than that.

2. The jobless man

A man without a job should have no use to you. A man who is jobless obviously lacks a lot of ambition, skill, or maybe both. Unless you find that he has a good excuse, i.e. he just got laid off and he’s looking consistently for a new job, you’ll want to stay away from guys with no income. Unemployment doesn’t count and in the end he may try to reel you in and have you pay his bills.

3. The extremely insecure man

We all have our insecurities and often times we work towards them to help eliminate them altogether. Dating a man with a lot of insecurities is extremely time consuming and in the end, it can be really tough. You have to deal with a lot of jealousy, insecurity, trust issues, and so on. A relationship with an insecure man is bound to be a chore.

4. The basement dweller

Tough situations may require someone to move back in with their parents temporarily, and that’s an acceptable situation, as long as it’s temporary. However, if you come across a guy who lives with his parents, doesn’t pay rent, and has no motivation to move out, you definitely need to move on. There’s nothing attractive about a basement dweller who has to share his personal space.

5. The wannabe king

Ahh, a king without his crown. You may one day run into a guy who expects to be treated like royalty. He wants you to cook, clean, and do his laundry for him. All the while he isn’t helping one bit. A guy with such high expectations isn’t likely to be one who treats you right. You deserve to be treated like a queen, or at least like a princess, not the other way around.

6. The dad to too many

When a guy is 25 with three children by three different women, you better have a huge red flag going off in your head. Men with a lot of kids by various different women usually aren’t worth dating. Chances have it that you’ll get caught up in the already existing baby mama drama, and we all know how that turns out. Avoid the guy with several baby mamas, you’ll thank yourself later.

7. The bag man

Though women are mostly portrayed as the one’s with baggage, men have it too. Be wary of guys who seem to carry around a lot of baggage, especially relationship baggage. If he’s still lingering on his ex or if he brings up the past a lot, don’t waste much more time on him. Baggage will only cause problems later on down the road.

8. The narcissist

Dating a narcissist is never wise. There’s nothing worse than a man who is completely self-centered and unconcerned about anyone but himself. Though narcissists are likely to look nice and dress nice, they’re only worried about themselves. His care for you is more than likely non-existent.

9. The one-night-stander

One night stands can have their perks, especially if you’re in needy mode. But, dating a guy who wants nothing but bedroom time with you is a mere waste of time. What good is a man if he only wants to get you in bed and then find his way out of it as quickly as possible? If he’s having one-night stands with you, he’s more than likely doing it with others.

10. The overly frugal man

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saving money and finding deals. However, there is a line that should be drawn. If this man will only take you out to dinner to restaurants when he has a coupon or if you’re only allowed to order off the happy hour drink menu when wine is $5 a glass, it’s time to reconsider. Being frugal is one thing, but being cheap is a completely different trait.

11. The non-budger

He’s completely set in his ways. This guy doesn’t want to try anything new and he has no plans to make any changes to what he likes, knows, and does. Dating a man who is set in his own ways and refuses to budge will definitely lead to boredom on your part. It’ll also make for an extremely one-sided relationship.

12. The clueless man

When you ask him to make decisions he declines. He often answers questions with “nothing” or “I don’t know/care.” You ask him about his future and the slate is completely blank. Dating a guy who has no answers and has no idea what he wants is only going to be a huge headache. Save yourself the stress and avoid dating this guy.

13. The heavy drinker

There’s nothing wrong with drinking, especially when you know your limits. However, dating a guy who loves to drink and drinks almost every night will only smells like trouble..and liquor.  A man who lives to drink and drinks to live will be costly in the end. What’s the fun in getting drunk every weekend? Guys tend to act like fools when they’re drunk anyway!

14. The overly emotional man

A man who readily expresses and shows his emotions is rare to find, but an overly emotional man isn’t such a great pick. Men who are overly emotional tend to go the extreme with lots of crying and a lot of anger. Usually this men will tick at the drop of a pin. A man who has no control over his emotions isn’t usually a good guy to date.

15. The overly-controlling man

He expects you to abide by his rules, and what he says goes. He doesn’t want you to have a lot of male friends. After your first date he urges you to delete your dating profile and change your Facebook status. These are all signs of a man who is very controlling. This type of guy will only lead to a lot of trouble.

After you finish selecting the men without any one of these defects, then all the men are gone

Honestly.... Who came up with this lists, it all sound good but let us be a bit realistic. Ladies have to fill out a check list before dating a guy? I don't expect any lady to jump into a relationship with a man who is a loser. I would expect the lady to have standards and know what she wants but not to go by the so call check list or magazines.

The other day I saw a magazine with cover saying 20 ways to please or satisfy your Man by some random lady in the opposite side of the planet. I don't read dem kind of stuffs but it all doesn't make much sense to me. There will never be 20 ways to please a man... It’s just 4 ways to please a Man and no more (I stand to be corrected on this).... tbh, Ladies we talking about your man who should know him better not some random woman that doesn't even know your man.

I pray God help us all...

Better still, you will be left with Women in Men's Image.

*Laffing in perrytyler's voice*

You're still a learner

The number of women who will remain single for life has just become doubled.

^^^^ Doubled? I was thinking of quintuple

the jobless man? even when he just graduated from school and still diligently looking for job,he doesn't qualify to date?

I think the word player has been bastardized. Forget all these dirty 2 naira players who run around promising girls the world just to phuck with them. That stuff just creates bad energy.

A TRUE player keeps it 100% with his women at all times. There is no hiding, neither is there any shame in his game.
If she's a jump off, he lets her know. It's not only men that want to get down. Women have genitals too and the associated urges that follow.

There is a difference between a cheat and a player.

If you shy away from dating a man who has women around him, it just means you are confirming you have low self esteem and that you're not up for the challenge. Purely put, it means you KNOW you have no game and can bring nothing else to the table other than puC which you really can't dangle over his head because he is above that.
