    5 Types of Guys to Avoid at All Costs

    When it comes to dating, we all know how hard it is to know who the bad seeds are (especially if your type is the bad seed), and especially if when we meet them it's in a haze of bar smoke. It's easy to think everyone is nice and worth your time, or think that everyone sucks and you're better off becoming a nun and devoting your life to Jesus. No need to purchase a rosary yet, sister, because here's a list of the easy-to-pick-out dudes who you should avoid like a pair of camouflage Crocs.

    The Guy Who Lives With His Mother

    This one is easy to justify in your head - "Well...he needs to take care of his family," or "It's super temporary and it's only because he's trying to save money." No. The second he says you can't chill at his place because it's his mom's night to watch Desperate Housewives, say "peace." Avoid if you can. There's nothing like always having the guy in your apartment, or having to endure the walk of shame past his parents in their bathrobes. It also implies a few insecurities about growing up and being self-sufficient, something that is imperative to a relationship. Moving along...

    The Guy Who Wears a Bluetooth...All The Time

    Even if he works for Verizon, there's no excuse why he can't talk on the phone like a normal human being. Plus...if he's constantly plugged into something (something that makes him look like Madonna circa 1985, or a McDonald's drive-thru worker), that means he will never completely be paying attention you...you're just filler until his next important call comes through. That is...if he ever actually gets important calls, and it's not just a cover. A Bluetooth is like the man version of the scrunchie.

    The Guy Who Knows His Marc Jacobs Better Than You

    There is nothing wrong with a well-dressed man, in fact, we appreciate them in all forms. However...be careful when you meet a man who mentions how current your Miu Miu heels are, or that your bag would be better paired with some Chloe boots he saw last week. Mr. I Know My Prada could either be gay, or higher maintenance than you. It's one thing if he's Jay-Z and will take you shopping, another if he's going to be judging the Snuggie you keep in your apartment. If you suspect he may like boys...send him over to Bluetooth guy.

    The Club Promoter

    It might be nice to be able to jump the line at Marquee or have free bottle service at 1Oak (we've all done it), but never date a club promoter. It's nice to have one in your back pocket to impress your high school friends when they come to town, but they're notoriously slutty and are more trouble than you're ready for. Not only will they ditch you the minute Lily Donaldson wants to talk to them, but if things go south you can never go back to...kind of any club again.

    The Two Polo Shirt Guy

    Not so much a city thing, but this is definitely a shout-out to college campuses nation-wide. If you can spot their spray tan from across a frat house, you can bet they're sporting two popped-collar polos as well. Maybe you're going through a jock phase, which is fine. Just stick to the shy floppy-haired soccer players rather than the guy who's playing beer pong with Muscle Milk. I shouldn't have to explain why...you're just better than that.

      how lame this could be?Never take advice from someone who believe you can stick a person in stereotypes boxes...and less,following act,to counsel about loving or just friending others.

      At least women aren't shallow and don't judge guys by superficial things like what he wears and uses as a communication device. Awesome!

      My mom's 75, has arthritis that's getting worse, and is in the early stages of dementia. My dad passed several years ago. I moved back home after spending a little over a decade out on my own to help out on the ranch that we have.

      Not all guys who live with their mom's have "...a few insecurities about growing up and being self-sufficient..."

      Some of us do it because it's the right thing to do for someone who raised us.

      Blanket judgements of people because of one factor rarely work out they way you want them to. Just judge each person on their own merits.

      Except for the two popped collars guy... he's a douchebag.

      I gotta live at home because Obama didn't fix the economy the way he said he would!
    • Basher B  •  2 years 7 months ago
      "GUY WHO LIVES WITH HIS MOTHER" I know guys who live with their mom who are 1000X more "grown up" than some idiots who live alone. What a shallow, pathetic way to judge someone. And any woman who "dismisses" you based on THAT ALONE??? She did you a favor, because she's a b*tch anyway.
    • Valerian  •  2 years 7 months ago
      One more thing. Why do they show the newest posts at the very end?
      Why post when your not gonna be seen. I actually wouldn't of, if I knew they did it this way? Makes no sense?!

      COMMENTS FROM A GUY:
      I think some of these are unilateral, actually. No guy wants to date a girl who is permanently attached to a Bluetooth either. The same can be said for women who never leave their mothers, it’s best to avoid them. And just like their male counterparts, Club girls are a tempting “no no.”

      And, I would add a 6th type of guy to be avoided. Any guy who twitters all the time should be shun from contributing to the human gene pool. LOL

      I'm a 31 year old male, and I live with my parents. Well, I moved back with my parents after getting laid off and living on my own for about 6 years after college. I've been slowly saving up and it's doing wonders for my plan to get married and afford my own place. Plus I help around the house and take care of my handicapped mother. I do laundry, cleaning, trash etc.

      My gf loves that I care for my family so much. I live part time with my gf and part time at home to help out. It works out great. I think the article only refers to the guys that live with their parents to mooch off of them.
    • Pandora  •  2 years 7 months ago
      why is this soooo true? Most of these guys are in love with themselves and have photos of themselves posted all over the place. Deadbeats!!!!and think they are better than anyone else. Why>? wow!

      The thing about living with your mother..

      Some of yall are taking that the wrong way, if you live with your mother and you're still in college or just getting outta college and are looking for a place to live, then you're okay, also, if your older and move back in with your mother because she needs help from you, that's okay.

      The "living with your mother" deal is basically, avoid 40-year-old insecure fattys that sit behind a tv with a beer and popcorn and never do anything for themselves.

      there's a big difference in working hard with a goal to be independent, and being a fatty moocher who sits on their butt and never does anything and doesn't even try.

      It's so easy to take the low road and indulge in schadenfreude (taking pleasure at other people's expense). Please, before you open the mouth, engage the brain and realize the terrible economic hardship many are now enduring. American women who engage in this type of superficiality deserve to be divorced, broke and fat desperately trying to regain a bit of their youth though plastic surgery and escapism. Take the time to get to know people and don't judge a book by it's cover. This country has suffered enough from a pervasive culture of proud ignorance and superficiality. Stop this madness and give kind people who respect their parents a bit of respect. Don't pay rent, save money and buy a home. Remember the song; "American woman, stay away..."
    • Mr Henry  •  2 years 7 months ago
      Now can you tell us what women to avoid in dating?
      Much appreciated.

      PS Who's Marc Jacob is that another guy lookin for a date?
    • Gus  •  2 years 7 months ago
      I like how people can be pigeon-holed into categories. This type of over-generalization is disgusting.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  2 years 7 months ago
      Stupid article
    • DorothyD  •  2 years 7 months ago
      The information is right on time. The bluetooth guy is a newbie on the list of those to avoid. The others like mama's boy, frat boy and the party clubber have been men (boys) to avoid forever (yet some women still don't have a clue).

      Women may be accused of being picky, yet why not be? We are great catches and can afford to be selective! :-}
    • Bella  •  2 years 7 months ago
      I've seen so many 2 polo guys at my college and it makes me sick.
    • cheryl k  •  2 years 7 months ago
      Yeah....dated guy who lives with Mommy at age 43, "I'm trying to buy my own place, I don't want to rent" (for the past 3 years?). Oh yeah, it's over....
    • paul m  •  2 years 7 months ago
      What sort of dumb whore writes trash like this, and what sort of dumb whore takes it as 'advice' a guy wears a blue tooth so don't date him? retarded
    • Semper Fido  •  2 years 7 months ago
      Waitaminute!! What if my widowed mom lives with me?? She's more of a friend than a parent, and it's my job to care for her after she retired. If you're that superficial, I likely wouldn't give you a second glance anyway...

      Chris Rock said it best in one of his comedy routines. "Women got it easy. Women, a man will never NOT f**k you cause you're broke."
