We recently came across a post on AOL Living about the types of guys you don't want to date. Apparently, being a "charmer" means you're probably also a cheater; "nice guys" are putting up a front for being judgmental and bossy; and "control freaks" are, well, control freaks. We'd like to remind the ladies who put this together that women aren't perfect, either. And with a nod to that article and a warning to our homeys, here are 13 types of girls you need to watch out for, and never date. If you've had experience with any of these types (or if there are any we missed), tell us about it in the comments.
Girls You Dont Want to Date
Way Out of Your League Girl
Recent studies suggest that the same hormones which make women attractive to men also make members of the fairer sex less likely to be faithful. So expecting a woman who is way out of your league to remain true is not only a slap in the face of common sense, but also science. And science and common sense both tend to slap back really hard.

Should Be in AA Girl
Due to discrepancies in metabolism, an average female can't drink nearly as much as an average male and still keep it together. Given that there are the same number of hours in the night for both sexes, this makes having a girlfriend who doesn't know when to say when an enormous liability. That is unless you enjoy being rewarded for chivalrously carrying a lifeless body home with a shirt full of puke.

Body-Issue Girl
Girls with body issues are often cheap dates, but no amount of money saved on entrees is worth having to deal with hours upon hours of whining and deep despair over how certain cuts of fabrics make certain body parts look "horribly obee" or "deformed."

Super-Jealous Girl
If you hadn't noticed, the entire Western world is set up to make men notice how women look. So, if your lady gets mad when your eyes don't remain perfectly straight when a pretty girl walks by, your life will become an unwinnable struggle against all of your ingrained cultural instincts. Be smart and escape at the first hint of ownership. (Pictured: Glenn Close and Michael Douglas in "Fatal Attraction.")

Super-High-Maintenance Girl
Ever since the collapse of Wall Street, there has been an abundance of these types floating around, looking for a new wallet to plunder. Sure they may be nice to look at, but in these tough economic times they are about as prudent as a sub-prime mortgage.

Can't Make a Decision Girl
Having a girl who uses her being in a relationship as an excuse to defer all life decisions to another person can be flattering for about a second. Then it becomes like dating a robot.

Gets Up in Other People's Faces Girl
A woman who thinks she has the right to say anything to anyone also has the ability to get her boyfriend into fights. Unless you punch like George Foreman, or don't mind spending the occasional night in prison, this type of girl is to be avoided.

History of Cheating Girl
If she has cheated on a former boyfriend once before, you can chalk it up to a fluke. Twice, think about a tracking device. If she's cheated three times, the only reason you are still with her is because you are foolhardily attempting a mythical dating scenario called "no strings attached."

Girl in the Restaurant or Bar Industry
Service-industry employees work hard, party hard, sleep late, and have a lot of crazy sex in tight spaces with other service-industry employees. If you happen to have a regular job, and are not going to be there for the partying, the late sleeping and the acrobatic sex, you don't stand much of a chance with a hospitality girl. (You might as well include dating a stripper in this category.) (Pictured: Jennifer Aniston in "Office Space.")

Girl You Met on MySpace
It's possible that there are no longer any real people left on MySpace. But if you do find a living, breathing, allegedly female humanoid in that bot-filled ghost town, she's likely to be underage, the purveyor of some sort of professional service or, upon closer inspection, not actually female at all. All are characteristics leading to a real-life relationship that is nasty, brutish and short. (Pictured: Drew Barrymore in "He's Just Not That Into You.")

Yo, people check your facts out again. If a guy is a "charmer", he is worse than a cheater. An abuser is a charmer!!!

This article is about women, not men. Did you even read it? More to the point, though - for every rule there is an exception. I think the majority of happily married guys out there have a wife with at least one of those so-called problems. What bothers one guy, doesn't necessarily bother another. Some of the things on this list are actually exactly what I looked for when I was dating - and I've been happily married for 19 years.

Hey,
I saw some warped little aspects of myself in many of those gals - must be why I bombed on on all 2 of my marriages. However, I totally agree with your definition of "charmer," because my last hubby met every single one of the criteria you noted. When I started being afraid for my life, I split and didn't let him know where I was for 6 months. Anyway, thought that the whole "girls not to date" piece was a well-written scream. Sure gave me some good laughs.

I like women who are only after money. My wife married me for my millions, my bald head and the B-9 mole on my 4-head.

People, this was a joke. Lemondrop.com did one on men that was kind of harsh. This is a satirical reply. It is not meant to be taken seriously, ok? Ok.

Agreed. I known people like this at culinary school, that doesn't mean everyone is like that. I'm a baker, so I'm at a pie shop and not on the line (and work at 5 am, not go to bed at 5 am), but some of the girls I've known who do work the line tend to be more of an aggressive bitch than an alcoholic. But those are really just exaggerated stereotypes.

I totally agree and i am a female. The one thing that stood out to me is the jealous girl that a guy can't look. That's not being jealous. Example: If a girl was to be with her man and she was looking that would be disrespectful. Females don't like men being disrespectful not only towards her but towards other females that pass by. It's not right.

I think this whole story is bs.. I am hot.. and the only issue I find when dating are guys that are insecure and cant handle it. That's what turns us into bitches is dealing with "some" guys insecurities.. There is nothing worse than being with someone that is constantly jealous..

If we avoid all these type of women, there won't be a single one left to date. My advice is just pick one who is moderately crazy, and hope she doesn't drive you insane.

I know (or hope) that these guys were just joking when they wrote this because if not, then they're going to be stuck with the internet, their hand, and some lotion for the rest of their lives.

not to mention:
-- Super-Insecure-Girl - who needs constant verbal affirmation and obsessively compares herself to others
-- All-Around-Mentally-Ill - who's on a dozen medications, the combination of which is doing little to diminish the emotional roller-coaster that is her existence
-- The-Risk-Taker - impulsive and reckless, often smokers or addicts (but not always!), take dangerous risks without considering consequences
- I mean, I'm a female but I've always stood by the fact that all girls are crazy in some way, it's just a matter of flavor and degree. Guys just have to figure out what flavor they tolerate best and find a girl who balances it out by having other things you value (gorgeous helps) that's all you can ask for.
You'll NEVER find a totally sane girl, so let go of that illusion

For women that want to claim any man is controling my experience is that it is just a guise use to cover up her controlling behavior when you no longer put up with it or try to change it so you feel you at least have some control left of your own life.

Yo, mister know it all, definition of Charmers . . .
1.Are often described as "the nicest guy you could ever know," but in relationships they are very controlling, self-serving, and irresponsible.
2.Seldom agree to therapy. They don't see a problem with themselves so why should they change? If they go to therapy, they try to charm the therapist.
3.Look good on the outside, but an ulterior motive lurks on the inside
4.See themselves as victims rather than those they hurt
5.Believe they are special and entitled to special behavior; rules that apply to others do not apply to them
6.Have their own brand of logic and an excuse for everything
7.Appear to be very giving, but there is always a price to pay for their attention
8.Can apologize easily, but there is no true repentance
9.Don’t feel love or guilt deeply, tend to minimize the pain of those they have hurt
10.Discredit their accusers when they are confronted
11.Cope by making themselves the hero in the worst situations
12.Are very clever, and often able to keep from being caught
13.Have extreme shifts in personality, may be kind and sarcastic in the same instant
14.Are very needy, and blame others for not being able to meet their needs
15.Appear to be very sensitive to others, and use their sense of humor to make others laugh or feel good
16.Shift attention off themselves onto others to keep from being found out
17.Depend on lies and deception to maintain a good image
18.Need power and control to bolster their low self-esteem and very fragile ego
19.Have a distorted sense of shame, and feel no embarrassment in doing whatever is necessary to get their needs satisfied
20.Are narcissistic, and need to believe they are superior to others
21.Are intimidated by intelligent, perceptive women
22.Live in constant fear of discovery
23.Find and use those who will appreciate and adore them
24.Rationalize their behavior with no remorse for the pain they cause
25.Are one frustration away from violence
26.Will not change as long as life works for them and there are no consequences to face
27.Are the center of their world and need constant praise and adoration from others
28.Know how to win the confidence of others, and use personal information against them later to make themselves feel better or superior
29.View their own thoughts and words as ultimate truth
30.Use kindness as a smoke screen to solicit silence or lack of confrontation of their actions
31.Are master manipulators who zero in on others' point of weakness
32.Lay heavy guilt trips on anyone who confronts their bad behavior
33.Twist the truth, lie, distract, accuse and use irrational and irrelevant arguments if confronted
34.Lack healthy shame
35.Mess with your mind to make themselves look normal—twist, distort, and tarnish your reputation
36.Know how to play the court room game and come across more credible than their victims
Seek and learn, got the scares to prove it.
You need time to grow.
