Red Flags: 5 Types of Men to Stay Away From

There are no perfect men, but certain types of behavior immediately signal: a relationship with this person could be toxic. Learn five signs that will help you understand from the first date that this man is definitely not for you.

1. Mama's Boy

This type of man always puts his mother first. For him, mom knows best what kind of woman suits him, and you will only be the "second choice." If the priorities are skewed from the start, your relationship will always be secondary.

2. Constant Victim

He blames others for everything: the boss, the ex, the weather, the food... and expects someone to solve his problems. You shouldn't expect responsibility from him — he is a person who is constantly looking for a savior, not a partner.

3. Narcissist

He is only interested in himself. Your feelings and problems are unimportant, and criticism is perceived as an attack. Such a man demands attention without giving anything in return.

4. Empty Promiser

He promises a lavish future, but when it comes down to it, it’s always "not the right time" and "not the right moment." His words remain just words, and actions are absent.

5. Emotional Rollercoaster

Today he bombards you with messages, and tomorrow he disappears for a week. He returns as if nothing happened. This behavior causes anxiety and emotional burnout.

Psychologists' Advice: Observe behavior from the first dates, trust your feelings, and protect your energy. It’s not worth trying to "fix" a man — it's more valuable to find someone who respects and supports you.
