Single Folks Confess Which Types Of People They'll Never Date Again

Single Folks Confess Which Types Of People They'll Never Date Again
women's orange t-shirt

Though they might not always be easy to notice, being single has numerous advantages.

Primarily, that you are never beholden to anyone, and can live your life exactly as you so choose.

Of course, for some people, there is the cold comfort that being single means that you are out of a bad relationship.

However difficult ending that relationship may have been, returning to single life afterwards also allows you to re-evaluate what you want, or even what you deserve, in a partner.

Giving you the foundation to avoid some past mistakes.


Redditor Mega-Pimp was curious to hear from recently, or not-so recently, single folk the type of person they now know to avoid when searching for a partner, leading them to ask:
"What's one 'type' you'll never date again?"

Everyone Needs A Little Personal Space

"Clingy girls."

"To get her out of her sh*tty living situation."

"Help her get her finances and medical needs in order."

"I really stuck my neck out."

"Gave it 150%."

"Exhausted myself regularly just so I could help her out."


"I just wanted to see her quality of life improve."

"I just wanted her to feel like life was going ok."

"It was never enough."

"Eventually she moved in with me, and spent almost a year doing nothing but playing PS4, eating, and sleeping."

"Didn't even start looking for a job."

"Eventually I ended it, and a few months later she moved back to her mom's place."

"The day after, I woke up to literally hundreds of messages from her begging me to take her back."

"Saying that she'll change."

"She'll do anything."

"She had forgotten how much worse her life was."

"I try to stay friends with her, but she's taken to making herself the victim in our relationship since we broke up."

"Maybe I wasn't perfect, I can admit that."

"But I willingly went to hell and back on multiple occasions just to try and make her smile."

"It crushes me that after everything, she trivializes everything I put into the relationship."

"This post was longer than I thought, but writing this out was therapeutic."- SinisterPixel

It's easy for people who have been single for a long time to run into the arms of the first person they can.

Though before doing so, it's always good to reflect on any past relationships and why they didn't work out.

Because when push comes to shove, being single is infinitely better than being in a relationship with someone who doesn't make you completely happy.

Kansas Hit With One Of The Largest Tuberculosis Outbreaks In History—And Trump Is Making It Worse

Kansas is currently facing one of the largest tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in history but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been unable to alert the public to the extent that it could, due to former President Donald Trump's "pause" on health agency communications.

TB is a bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs, with active cases causing symptoms such as chest pain, coughing up blood, weight loss, and chills. When left untreated, it can be fatal. TB is contagious only when symptoms are present, but people with latent TB, who do not exhibit symptoms, cannot spread the infection.
