Understanding Different Types Of Men

Here is a Do It Yourself guide on what you can do to tackle different categories of men. 

1) Miserly: If there is a chorus of disbelieving laughter whenever it is his round in the pub, it probably means he is tight with money. If every time you suggest a holiday, a meal or highlights for your hair, he shrugs his shoulder and says, “Well, if you want to throw your money away, then go for it.” Then he is mean and a king of sarcasm.


FIX: Being cautious is not the same as a pathological fear of spending money. If he grew up in poverty or has struggled with debt, it may explain his concern. Sometimes it maybe psychological, like he doesn’t like the kind of money you have, or the freedom to spend it. It is best to go for counseling to find out what are his innermost feelings about money and you as a person.

2) Slob: He may be kind, gorgeous and funny but if he can’t be bothered to put dirty cups in the sink or take the trash out, it can be a deal-breaker for the whole relationship.


FIX: You have to make it clear to him that in a shared home, tidying is a joint responsibility. Often, men object to nagging so save your complaints for when he will be ready to listen like after dinner, rather than just as he gets in from work. 

3) Friends With His Ex: In a way it is reassuring that he gets on so well with his ex. After all, it proves he is a nice man and that he treated her well. But perhaps a little too well because she is forever around and really doesn’t expect you to mind.

FIX: Friendship with Ex is okay, but not when they are living in each other’s pockets. If he fails to understand why it is an inappropriate relationship, then you need to spell it out. Try: “I like her but quite often I feel unwanted when she is around.” That way you are not making accusations and you are not blaming him or her. It is reasonable for him to have a friendship but not one that shuts you out. 

4) Mamma’s Boy: There is a rival for your affection and it is an older woman who will never give up on him. What’s more, he adores his mother.

FIX: It can be difficult to come between a man and his mother, but you can help him to grow up. Never set up a competition along the lines of “Fine! Go to your mother’s and let her look after you!” Affectionate joking is far more effective than direct criticism. “Isn’t it sweet how your Mom still checks up on you?” could be the best way to make him think: “Actually, I’m going to tell her to back off.”But saying,”If you don’t tell your mother to back off, I will,” is like declaring war. 


5) Flirt: Every time you are out, he flirts with other women. You feel miserable.


FIX: He may claim it is all fun but when you feel hurt, the fun has stopped. Compulsive flirting is all about the need for attention and his desire to be found attractive but it’s pretty devastating to feel that your love isn’t enough for him. It’s humiliating when other people witness his behavior, so you need to tell him straight. 

How To Spot The Bad Habits That Look Good At First 

He Is Laid Back: Or rather, he is lazy and nothing bothers him because he rarely engages his brain. 


He Is Popular: He is friends with everybody, so your living room will be overrun with dodgy acquaintances and lonely oddballs.

He Is Rich: He is possibly a driven workaholic, who will always put a networking opportunity ahead of a romantic night in.

He Is Great In Bed: And just who else is he perfecting them with whenever you are home alone?

He Is Very Reliable: And hopelessly unadventurous, stuck in his ways and terrified of rocking the boat with spontaneity or passion.
