If you are single, you have to maneuver through a jungle of men. You'll meet the strangest specimens. Find out which types of men you should stay away from here.
We can not with and can not without them. Men! Especially when you're single, you meet the weirdest types of men. And at the end always remains a realization. The desired candidate is taken, gay or on the big screen (a hearty air kiss to Elyas M'Barek at this point).
How your prince charming should be, everyone must know for themselves. Whether smart, well-trained, spendy or romantic. We can't help you there. But they do exist! The candidates you should definitely steer clear of.
First: small reality check
How can you recognize Prince Charming if he doesn't ride in on a white horse? Let's get away from Hollywood and Walt Disney.
Unless you live on a lonely ranch in Texas, the guy with the horse in the sunset is an unrealistic scenario. Tighten your shoulders! And into the doom.
These are the 11 most annoying types of men
Your dream man and his mother
Mom's opinion is important to him. Of course, she not only advises him on style issues. She also has a key to his apartment. She's happy to drop by unannounced. After all, she did the laundry for your sweetheart.
Does he let that happen? Take your legs in your hands and run! If you do not want that she also regularly sits at the breakfast table in the joint apartment Saturday morning. Because she will support her darling. And if need be, she will impose her opinion on you regarding contraception, baby names and wedding plans.
The career type
On Saturdays, he sometimes has to go to the office. In the restaurant, he quickly checks his work e-mails. And his mind is always on his work. There's no question that success makes him sexy. If you make an appointment with his secretary, the fun stops! The career-hungry male type is one of the most annoying specimens.
Because during all his appointments he might forget something important: You!
The "not-so-relatable" type of man
Yes, in the 21st century it's no longer that simple. In the past, there was a piece of paper with three little questions. You ticked yes, no or maybe and that was it. Today, on the other hand, people have to weigh things up. Once he's made up his mind, he can't look at other options for the time being. That's a difficult issue. After all, freedom is at risk.
Generation Y, which has been raised by the media, has our relationships or non-relationships fully under control. If your dream guy thinks he's incapable of relationships, let him go. You don't need to be weighed against potential competition on a pro and con list.
The jock
He may be well-trained. But does he spend every second on the football field? All his free time is sacrificed for volleyball? He practically sleeps on his basketball? You have to follow "sports-free" schedules?
Everyone has the right to free time. Still, you shouldn't always be put in the back of the line. If you always come after his soccer boys, pull the ripcord. And make yourself the 1st priority. ;)
The jealous appendage
He doesn't let you out of his sight in clubs? The contact with your buddy triggers a ruckus? And every work colleague makes him suspicious? Then you're dealing with a particularly jealous specimen.
The poor man may suffer from a lack of self-confidence. He fears that he can be replaced by any man. This type of man is a no-go. Don't do this to yourself! Rather take someone who gives you freedom, because he trusts you. And because he knows that he is your number 1.
The charming unreliable man type
He knows exactly what to say to make you feel better. That's also the only reason why you let yourself be transferred again and again. And his excuses are always so convincing.
He accompanied an old lady across the street. The suburban train had a headwind. He carried a young mother's groceries home. Forget him! Listen to "Nur noch kurz die Welt retten" by Tim Bendzko instead. ;)
He lives in Hotel Mama
Yeah after how old you are, that's totally unacceptable. He's never cooked alone in his mid-20s? And he lets you do his laundry? Here you should prick up your ears. And be ready for an escape if necessary.
Mixed gender roles with the softie
He cries at Dirty Dancing. With a fondness he looks at kittens. And fittingly, he doesn't have a muscle on his body. You have compassion. So you build his closet. He bakes you a cake in return. And when he's sad, he can cry on your shoulder.
And yes, men are also allowed to be sensitive. But that, my dears, is too much of a good thing! Emancipation and equality are a wonderful model. Both have their right to exist. But a little bit of masculinity is allowed!
The stuffy bored
He is a gentleman. Every door he holds open. And he made a fantastic impression on your mom. Your grandma loves him. He always carries an umbrella, too. And handkerchiefs. In arguments he always remains objective.
Oh God, where is the excitement in the relationship? Spontaneity, temperament? These types of men are a hoot to be around! Slick men are boring as hell. In the beginning, it's pleasantly uncomplicated. But after a while it extinguishes every bushfire.
The beau
These men guys are a dream. They look beautiful. Everybody wants them. And unfortunately.... they know it. A healthy self-confidence is absolutely important. But this must not turn into arrogance. Take on "sexiest man alive" only if you can handle the ego. Remember, a healthy relationship is conducted at eye level. :)
The most annoying type of man: the macho
The classic. In front of his boys, he treats you like his appendage. He likes to push you around. Gives you a slap on the butt at the most inappropriate moments. The macho!
We like him a little bit. When a man knows what he wants, it makes him sexy. It's nice when he presents you proudly. But honestly! If he pushes you around, think twice.
Our conclusion:
Men are wonderful, annoying, complicated, transparent. But at least they're always good for a story. And let's be honest. What would we have to laugh about without them? That would be boring, too. :)
