(Of course, there are toxic men and women, so this is an equal-opportunity list, divided into two sets of five.)
If you’re a guy, how can you get a leg up (so to speak) on avoiding toxicity in your dating life?
First, consider the five female archetypes I’ve outlined below. From being overly materialistic to clingy to just plain nitpicky, these women will likely become the iceberg to your Titanic, sinking all possible romantic joy quicker than you can hum the film’s “My Heart Will Go On” theme song by Celine Dion. The only things that should go “on” are your feet walking out the door if you encounter any of these female terrors, so watch out… you’ve been warned.
