9 types of women men regret dating every time

Red flags can be easy to ignore when you’re attracted to someone, but these personality types will drain the fun out of your relationship and leave a man regretting it later.

The victim

If you date a woman who never takes personal responsibility for anything that happens in her life, you instantly transform an emotional relationship into a one-way-rescue operation.

Every ex-boyfriend was crazy, every boss she’s ever had was evil, and every mistake she makes is 100% someone else’s fault. Once a man understands that any disagreement they will ever have will magically be twisted around to make him out to be the bad guy, it becomes a tedious emotional nightmare.

The scorekeeper

She balances every mistake, favor and compromise in her mind like a scorekeeper. There can be no forgiveness when he does something wrong because she’ll dredge up something he said months ago to make sure she wins every argument.

All relationships need give and take but a man cannot love someone that he feels is always analyzing his actions and keeping score.

The drama magnet

Some people find silence and peace boring, so they create drama where there is none. If a woman needs non-stop chaos, she will escalate small arguments into huge public fights or try to make her partner jealous to see how he reacts.

The man who prizes peace of mind comes to find that her emotional roller coasters sap his strength and destroy his sanity.

The online performer

If every date, intimate moment, and private interaction they share is material to post online, you’re living your life for other people instead of connecting with someone.

A woman who cares too much about having an Instagram-worthy life will value followers more than moments. Men will get annoyed sitting there while their food gets cold, waiting to find the best angle to take a selfie. She’ll make him feel more like an accessory than a boyfriend.

The fixer-upper seeker

Dating someone who sees a man as a project automatically sets a hierarchy. She walks into the relationship ready to fix everything about him.

She’ll want to replace all of his clothes, friends, job and hobbies with what she thinks is better. Wanting to better yourself is normal, but being with someone who reminds you that you’re not good enough as you are will cause resentment.

The attention seeker

Attention matters very much to her. Sometimes this is even true when she’s in a relationship. She might always need compliments or feel awkward when someone else is the center of attention at a party.

Social media can really worsen this habit if she relies on likes, comments, and reactions to feel good about herself. Her partner might love her affectionate nature at first but grow tired of it when his love can never give her enough validation.

The control planner

She doesn’t just like things orderly; she likes to decide how nearly everything should go. She might gradually start controlling everything, from where they go for a date, who he sees, how his finances are managed, or what he does during his free time.

Ideas become demands over time, and disagreeing can be seen as an unwillingness to commit. A guy will finally notice that keeping her happy has meant sacrificing a lot more freedom than he ever thought possible.

The serial comparison shopper

If a woman compares her mate or life to her friends or couples she sees on social media, she will never be mentally satisfied nor present.

Continuously hearing your boyfriend makes x amount more than so-and-so or that couple went on a vacation somewhere is toxic. No matter how good a man she has, he will never be enough when she’s comparing him to unrealistic outside influences.

The weaponized dependent

Support from a partner is important. However, a woman who expects her man to take care of her 100% of the time with no responsibility or control of her emotions is too much to handle.

If she has him wrapped around her little finger, solving all of her problems, she will drain every ounce of attraction from him, and he’ll feel used.
