The Alcoholic
An alcoholic doesn’t have a clear image of himself. Meaning, you might never know who he really is and what he stands for. Nothing ever becomes serious with him. One of the worst types of toxic men is one who drinks too much.

The Manipulator
Why would he act in a different way in front of other girls? This man is guided only by what he wants. You can almost guarantee that he's going to cheat on you or hurt you in some way at some point.

The Belittler
This guy will constantly feel superior to you and be in control of the relationship. He’ll always belittle your thoughts and opinions and make you feel down.
He has a knack for making even your greatest accomplishments seem insignificant. You might receive backhanded compliments or outright criticisms that chip away at your self-esteem. This man is an expert at shifting every conversation and turning it to focus on his needs, his achievements, or his perspective, often minimizing anything you bring to the table. In the long run, the relationship with a belittler can lead to a loss of self-worth and could stymie your growth, personally and professionally. It's crucial for your well-being to recognize these signs early and steer clear of such a demoralizing influence.

The Avoider
I know a man might not be a big phone person, but replying to your texts shouldn’t bother him, right? Responding to your messages and phone calls is an act of courtesy, kindness and respect.

Not Ready to Commit
What's the point in building a relationship when he’s a commitment-phobe? If he’s afraid of commitment, nothing serious like marriage or raising a child will be important to him. This guy will only ruin your emotions and expectations.

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.
The Non-Romantic
After several dates, the dullness begins to creep in. However, you have the right to love so if you don't feel it, it's time to move on.
