The 9 Guy Types To Avoid On The Dating Scene

The 9 Guy Types

To Avoid On

The Dating Scene

by Coco Diong

There are certain personality types I think we all have encountered , and perhaps this will serve to give the guys who fit this profile an insightful look at why some women stop answering their phones when they know these guys are on the other end.

Tom The Talker – This guy is basically looking for a listener.  He spends all your time together bragging, complaining and opinion spouting.  He does not listen because he’s not really interested in your thoughts or views.  He is usually very attractive, (which can stimulate the interest factor for a minute.) but super boring.  Result: You know everything you need to know about him, in a very short time and he knows nothing about you.

Paul The Pretty Boy – He is a knockout to look at.  However, he is prone to only bring a “mirror” to the table.  He is not as attentive as he could be, because he works too hard to gain attention.  When the two of you go out, he looks better than you.  Result: The relationship usually flounders because his focus is off.  You’re mesmerized with him, and he’s mesmerized with him.

Clumsy Carl – This guy does not have a lot of experience with women and it shows.  He trips opening the door, gets on the elevator before you do, and always asks for permission to touch you.  Result: Unfortunately, this type gets used a lot and taken advantage of by callous women with mercenary agendas.

Steve The Sex Maniac – is all over you.  Sex to him is more important that eating.  He acts like a guy recently released from prison.  He wants sex on the first date, and demands it if he buys you an expensive meal.  Result: You lose your appetite for him real quick and in a hurry.

Stan The Scaredy Cat – has been hurt by some previous female and he’s determined that it won’t happen again.  He’s suspicious, paranoid and demanding.  He wears his distrust of women on his sleeve.  He doesn’t give up any tenderness or display even mild affection. Everything and I mean everything with regard to feelings has to come from you.  Result: A high maintenance effort with very little return.

Sam The Shallow One – repeats meaningless rhetoric over and over again.  He runs from dialogue designed for meaningful exchange.  You have absolutely no idea who he really is, because intimacy to him is bedroom action only.  Result: He’s okay to have around when you just need a male presence and nothing else.

 Tony The Theorist – has a “conspiracy” mentality and is still living in the 60’s.  He can take a trivial issue and turn it into World War III.  He will not eat in a white-owned restaurant, but he drives a BMW.  Result: You’d rather nap than debate with him.

Bill The Baggage Man – usually comes into the date encounter with a multitude of issues and problems from past relationships or life errors in general.  This often includes baby mama drama, ex’s trying to be current  and financial instability.

Bob The Bewildered One –  has no idea what he’s doing.  He’s confused and confusing.  He runs around with his head in one hand and his cell phone in another.  He invites you out and doesn’t show up, then greets you warmly when you run into him, as if he’s innocent of any wrongdoing.  He’ll ask the same personal questions over and over again because he doesn’t always remember who he’s talking to.  Result: You end up refusing his calls, and disposing of his number.

Rick The Real Man – The Ideal Guy Every Woman Wants.  This man really knows how to treat a woman and is very comfortable with who he is.   He is kind and sincere.  He’s also honest and fearless.  He expresses his feelings naturally, without feeling awkward about being exposed.  He knows what he wants and you know instinctively if it’s you.  You feel honored to be on his arm, because he’s a rare find in a cluttered world of confusing male encounters.
