15 Signs That He’s a Bad Catch

Something smells fishy in the relationship when your guy starts exhibiting these signs.
If you’re already thinking, “How can I tell if my boyfriend’s a bad catch?” then you’re on the right page. That’s why I came up with this lovely list! The top four are obvious, but we all need to be reminded of them.
- He hurts you physically. Duh!? Obviously, there’s only one answer to this problem-get out of the relationship! And don’t make excuses for him.
- He hurts you verbally. Respect is very important in a relationship, so if your guy hurts you even with his words (calling you names or putting you down), he doesn’t deserve you!
- He’s on drugs. Any drug, whether the “big bad stuff” or small stuff, is not acceptable! Experimenting with harmful substances like drugs can lead to a dangerous lifestyle. You don’t want to find your self in the middle of all that. You want to be with someone who’s responsible with his health and his life. That way, you know that you’ll be safe with him.
- He frightens or intimidates you in any way. If you don’t feel safe with him, that’s not good sign. Even if he’s never actually hit you but you get the feeling that he could, end the relationship.
Those four are the source of major stink! They are sure signs that you need to get out of the relationship pronto! But believe me, those signs are by far not the only things to watch out for. The rest of the list is just as important. Remember, if your guy fits the bill on any of these signs, do some serious thinking bout your relationship. - He doesn’t work or go to school when he has the means to do so. I’m talking about someone who’s L-A-Z-Y. It’s very hard to respect someone who doesn’t do anything but sit around all day. You don’t want to end up with a bum!
- He isolates you from friends and family, wants you all to himself. While that might seem romantic at the beginning, it’s not a healthy sign! It means he doesn’t want you to be yourself. Keep your head out of the clouds!
- He doesn’t put you near to the top of his priority list-he won’t make time to be with you, call you or text you. What’s the point of even being together if you never get to see each other? You’ve got to know that you are important to him. (Just make sure you’re also not being unreasonable. Asking him to pick you up everyday after class or work, when he has to study for an exam/office report, basketball practice or he has some other commitment is unreasonable. Keep in mind that you both have other lives outside the relationship.)

I had a boyfriend who had none of the qualities on the list. He was the complete opposite. But, I received a text at 6:30am one morning from him endeing it. Haven’t heard from him since. Where
does that fit in on the list?

Men are odd birds and they do and say things that most of us would never think of. Good list…and we all need the reminder that WE are worth everything.

a brillant list that acts as a code. i think that because we are all human, all of us have fallen into one category at some point, but we move on in life. the important thing is that we come out wiser and evolve into fuller nicer people and then find the right person, or they find us. i love the photo at the start. lol. EXCELLENT!

Brilliant list to live by- there are some bad men out there (and good ones, but bad ones that can definitely hurt you), and aren’t worth knowing.
Excellent article- I will pass this on.
