People Shared What Dating Types They Will Never Go Out With Again And Why
If you are looking for a long-term relationship, dating can be a really discouraging undertaking. Oftentimes, you are forced to “weed out” potential partners and, in the process, go on some pretty bad dates.
However, there is at least one benefit– you get to figure out what “types” you will never, ever date again.
And just a few days ago, a Reddit post discussing this very topic went totally viral. There, over nine thousand people shared what types of people they hate to date– and the thread is totally relatable.
People Who “Stonewall”
“Dismissing concerns, refusing to listen when your partner needs it, and generally getting defensive anytime a disagreement happens. Over time, it makes you feel angry, confused, and distrustful.”
“So yeah, you definitely end up feeling like you’re a problem, get irritable, worrisome, and are eventually pushed away for being like that.”
“It’s sort of like gaslighting somebody, but just straight up denying their emotional need to feel heard and cared for.”

“The type with a partner they didn’t tell me about.”
“Yup. The ‘almost divorced.'”
“The ‘it’s just like a casual thing…’ type.”
People Who Try To Make You Jealous
“They are a black hole of mental energy. They will make you question yourself constantly, and they think that this makes your love stronger.”
“And if you make the mistake of being vulnerable in front of them, they will beat your soul to a pulp and use that weakness to manipulate you.”
“Games, in general, are something I no longer entertain. Drama is created.”
“One of the things I love about my wife is she is a great emotional communicator and does not manifest issues that don’t exist.”
People Who Are Addicted To Their Phones
“I won’t even be friends with this type anymore. I had a friend who would constantly answer calls from her family when we were out. Every. Single. Time. And not a quick call– full hour-long conversations.”
“The last straw was when she was visiting my house and, after literal hours, I realized she had headphones on and was on an active call the entire time.”
“Yup. My soon-to-be ex-wife has her face in her phone constantly. Huge turn-off.”
People Who Lack Their Own Hobbies
“I have dated someone who ‘made’ me the person who should entertain them 24/7. I need my freaking space and my alone time. It just made me depressed because I felt suffocated.”
“My ex had zero hobbies, and it drove me up the wall. I loved her, but I don’t need to spend every single waking moment with you.”
“I don’t think people realize how important it is to have your own space in a relationship. Some people feel like they have to be together 24/7 for the relationship to be good. Sometimes being like passing ships in the night is a blessing in disguise.”
Know-It-Alls
“The ‘smartest guy in the room’ guy. He was a know-it-all, and no one could tell him any different. It was insufferable.”
“I was this guy at one time. I gained humility eventually. It took some people being blunt and me eventually doing some self-reflection. I was not a good person. I’m sorry if you were one of the people I was insufferable with.”
Any Man Whose Mother Is Too Involved In The Relationship
“Oh my god, it’s a toss-up between his mother smothering him or if he is literally incapable of doing things. So, his mom does it all for him.”
“I am married to the latter and thought it was the former– which was fixable with firm boundaries. But no, his mom just had to do everything for him because he cannot do anything.”
“My ex left me because his mom did not want him to marry me.”
“Came here for the ‘momma’s boys.’ They are endearing at first, but a horrible situation in reality.”
Do you agree that these “types” should be avoided at all costs? What “type” will you never go out with again?
