Happy relationships are not those made up of perfect partners. Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a perfect partner, as there is no such thing as a perfect person. When you set out to look for the right partner for you, though, there are certain types of women, with certain personality traits, that are guaranteed to make you miserable.

These Are The Types Of Women You Shouldn’t Date

If we are ever to form a blissful relationship, we need to, first and foremost, work on ourselves and correct the flaws that might keep us from being the best version of ourselves. Once we have done that, we can start looking for the right partner for us. A good way to start is to know exactly what types of women we don’t want to be involved with.

#1. The Mrs. Know-It-All

With every day that goes by we become wiser and better. Unless we already think we know everything and are immune to any sort of knowledge life and other people may offer us. This is the case of Mrs. Know-It-All, the kind of woman who will find joy in correcting you every chance she gets and who you will never see evolve. Because there’s nothing more that she can learn, right? Wrong.

#2. The Emotional Pirate

This kind of woman will never pay you the attention you deserve. You will slowly and without realizing it (at first, at least) make your relationship and your life all about her. Like a true pirate, she will rob you of your self-esteem and make you believe her well-being is more important than yours. Don’t let her steal your emotional treasure.

#3. The Gold-Digger

The clever kind of gold-digger will take some figuring out, as she will know how to subtly give you the signs she deserves all the special (i.e. expensive) treatment she can get. But a true life partner will be happy with one single rose you cut from your garden and a picnic under the stars; she won’t ask for the moon and the stars to be happy around you.

#4. The Drama Queen

You’ll think it’s time for 911 when she breaks a nail, she’ll make you regret your night out with your mates because she felt “abandoned” and she will cry and protest about every little thing that bothers her (there will always be something bothering her). Unless you are the masochist kind of person who gets his kicks out of feeling at fault constantly, you need to avoid this type of woman at all costs.

#5. The Bimbo

She may be hot and sweet-natured, but your conversations can never go beyond the last episode of ‘The Bachelor’. You are kind of embarrassed when she opens her mouth in front of your friends and family, and sort of bored after a while. Sooner or later you’ll need to have an honest conversation with yourself: is the sex enough to keep your relationship going?

#6. The Pessimist

A characteristic of a toxic girlfriend is being the sort of person who sees only darkness. When you try to make plans for the future, she’ll come up with a million problems and things that may go wrong. She may seem like a down-to-earth, realist at first, but you’ll soon be dragged down and lost your smile and will to move on with things. This girl is baggage; let her go.

#7. The Daydreamer

On the other end of the spectrum, there is the daydreamer. She is the kind of person you’ll be excited about at first, as she is full of life and optimism. However, down the line you’ll realize that you can’t hold a serious and realistic conversation with her, as she has no grasp of reality. After your (numerous) fruitless attempts to reason with her, you’ll finally give up and make peace with the fact she’s living in her own world and you can’t live with her. And you will leave.

These are some of the types of women who are bound to make your relationship unsustainable and unhappy. Some of them you will be able to spot a mile off, while others may take some time to see clearly, but all of them will never be right for you.
