Everyday women around the world whine and complain about men and how they are all “the same.” I wonder if we as women can really blame those guys for being that way or do we blame ourselves for choosing them. If you find yourself saying no to a nice guy because he’s not your type, then you have already aided yourself in passing up a good guy for a loser. If you believe all of your relationships are cursed you may just be continuously choosing the wrong man. Here are some basic tips on how to spot a toxic boyfriend.
- If he has pictures of too many different women on his social networking sites and none of you, he’s toxic. A guy who’s popular with all the girls will be very flirty, and this could cause problems when he tries to settle down.
- If you ask to use his cell phone and he panics and refuses, he’s toxic. Any guy who goes crazy when his girlfriend is near his phone, has something or someone to hide.
- If you see him at a party and he doesn’t give you a hug, kiss, or show any type of affection, he’s toxic. He’s probably not acknowledging you because you may be one of his many secrets. If he loves you he would want others to know that too.
- If he always comes over at night, he’s toxic. He may not want to be seen with you during the day because he may have someone else who he values more.
- If you like him more then he likes you, he’s toxic. This is a sure way to get hurt. Guys don’t like to feel pressured into love and if you show too much love too early, surely you will get hurt.
- If he only argues with you on the weekend, he’s toxic. This is a scheme guys use to get their girlfriend too upset to go out. This gives them a chance to go out and misbehave, while you are home crying.
Well there you have it, tips on how to spot a toxic boyfriend. Hopefully this keeps you away from the losers and closer to the gentlemen.
