Marriage is divine when the two individuals involved are in agreement and complement each other.
However, it’s not something that should be rushed into because some people who rushed into it have sadly rushed out.
Unlike other relationships, marriage is meant to be a forever deal, and so, one has to be extremely careful when choosing a life partner.
This carefulness applies to men and women alike who want to enjoy their marriages rather than endure them.
Today, we’ll be discussing the types of women men don’t like to marry.
Although the saying, ‘There’s a man for every woman, and a woman for every man’ is true, there are certain behaviors that are generally intolerable and unacceptable in marriage.
No matter how good-looking, intelligent, and well-read one may be, these bad behaviors don’t present them in a good light.
If one is serious about getting married, one needs to drop them like hot coal.
Let’s check them out.
9 Types Of Women Men Don’t Like To Marry
1. Narcissistic women
Don’t be surprised at the tag because there are women who are narcissistic in nature.
Narcissism isn’t exclusive to men.
There are women who are too selfish and believe that they’re way better than other people.
Such a woman constantly disregards the feelings of other people, is arrogant, and her entitlement mentality oozes to the high Heavens.
Because she feels that she’s better than most people, she’ll only want to hang around or be seen with important or successful people.
In addition, she’ll have an obsession with being admired.
These are some of the characteristics of a narcissistic woman.
Men who spot narcissistic traits in their potential spouses don’t look back when they flee and they run very far away from such women.
Narcissists are walking pandemics; disasters waiting to happen.
No man will want to marry such a woman.
2. Women who play mind games
Anyone who is looking for a genuine relationship that’ll lead to marriage will definitely avoid a person who loves to play mind games in a relationship.
It’s a no-brainer.
People who enjoy playing mind games are never straightforward in their dealings.
They’re mostly overthinking things and like to always be two to ten steps ahead of whoever they’re dealing with.
If they get into a relationship, it won’t be easy to tell if they did so for genuine purposes or for their selfish interests.
Everything they do or say will be reviewed thoroughly to discover their true intents.
For instance, she may buy her man a random gift but the downside here is that no gift is ever random for a mind gamer.
If her man holds on for a bit, he’ll see the reason she bought him the gift.
Perhaps she needs a favor from him and wants to use the gift to tie his hands so that he won’t say no to her.
Alternatively, she may be using it as an incentive to persuade him to get her a bigger or more specific gift on her birthday or any other special occasion.
Like I said before, nothing is straightforward with this type of person, and their partner will keep being guarded around them.
To be honest, being in a relationship with this type of person is not only a mistake but also a full-time job.
It’s so exhausting and draining.
If care is not taken, their partner might lose themselves while trying to be good enough for them and make them happy.
No one in their right senses would like to go through the stress and trauma of being in a relationship with such a person, not to talk of settling down with them.
So, yea.
One of the types of women men don’t like to marry is women who play mind games.
3. Financially irresponsible women
No one wants to settle down with someone who is financially irresponsible.
Naturally, men are built to be providers and women, caretakers.
Most men want to know that their assets, finances, and fortunes are in good hands when it comes to the women they want to marry.
They want to get married to women who will help them grow in leaps and bounds, and surpass the capacity they were operating in when they were single.
So, they’ll view a financially irresponsible woman as the direct opposite of who they’re looking to settle down with.
Instead of preserving the man’s wealth and thinking of other ways to diversify wealth creation and create multiple streams of income for the family, these ones are all about spending recklessly.
They indulge in their sinful pleasures ALL the time.
Delayed gratification is news to them.
If they want something, once they have the means, they’re getting it ASAP.
They end up spending a lot, or all, of their resources on unimportant things and things they don’t really need.
Men do not like to marry a woman who can’t hold down the financial front in the home.
4. Loud women
There are women who have baskets in the place of mouths.
Anything that goes into their ears comes out unfiltered from their mouths.
They cannot keep secrets and are usually very loud in nature.
Many men are uncomfortable with the idea of having a woman like this as a life partner.
He cannot confide in her for fear of being judged or discussed with other people.
No one wants everyone else to be all up in their business simply because they opened up to their spouse.
5. Bossy women
I recently read an anonymous message in a Facebook inbox from a heartbroken woman.
She wanted to know how to stop being bossy because it was costing her beautiful relationships that could have blossomed into something more serious (read: marriage).
According to her, her bossy nature is usually one of the things that attract men to her.
They used to like it about her at the early stages of their relationship.
But when it’s time to take the relationship to a more serious level, it becomes a problem for those men.
They suddenly realize that her bossy nature is not something that they can put up with in the long run.
She said that it has happened to her more than twice, which was why she wanted to know how to tone down or totally stop being controlling.
So, you see?
Bossy women are among the types of women men don’t like to marry.
6. Uncompromising women
Compromise is a key aspect of every relationship.
A relationship is between two different individuals from different backgrounds, and as such, arguments and disagreements are bound to come up from time to time.
They must be willing and committed to finding a middle ground on such occasions to be able to move forward in the relationship.
However, if one party is uncompromising and set in their ways and beliefs, it can cause unnecessary tension and friction in the relationship.
The other party will feel unvalued and unloved and consequently, other problems will start showing up in the relationship.
Compromise helps to foster healthy and happy relationships.
Most people are privy to that.
So, an uncompromising woman is a red flag to men who want to get married.
They know that marrying such a woman is equivalent to starting a deadly war with both eyes open.
7. Disrespectful women
Mutual respect is a very important part of every thriving relationship.
It’s true that everyone loves to be accorded their due respect, but men take it very personal.
Respect is to men what love is to women.
Many men see respect as their own sign of love.
Once their women are respectful to them, they’ll feel at home with her and shower her with love and affection.
However, a man will start having double mind about seeing a future with a woman who has been repeatedly disrespectful to him.
Disrespect is a big turn-off for many men, and they won’t hesitate to back out from any romantic venture they want to embark on with a disrespectful woman.
8. Extremely jealous women
When I was in the University, I once stopped by a shop to buy some things on my way home from school.
The shop’s owner, a young man, was with his friend when I walked in.
His friend was showing him a picture of his girlfriend on his phone.
The shop owner pointed out that the lady in question was beautiful.
His friend agreed but said that he couldn’t marry her.
My amebo antenna stood at attention immediately when I heard that.
The friend didn’t even wait for the shop owner to finish asking ‘why’ before he launched into a long, painful rant.
He said that his girlfriend was a very jealous person, and her jealousy was beyond what was considered normal.
She was borderline paranoid about losing him, and her actions showed that she didn’t trust him.
She always wanted to know where he was, who he was with, and if he sounded unconvincing, she was calling him on video call the next second.
She painstakingly went through his contact list to see if he had a new female contact, and if he did, she used to demand to know the relationship between them.
She used to go through all his social media posts and wanted to know why random ladies used the love reaction on his posts.
She was always looking for opportunities to accuse him of being unfaithful in the relationship, even when he had never given her any reason to doubt his fidelity.
I felt irritated and tired on the young man’s behalf, and I almost asked him what he was still doing with her.
Trust is an essential ingredient in every relationship.
You have no business being with anyone whom you do not trust.
Extreme jealousy is a trait that can be both draining and mentally exhausting.
No one has to go through it in a relationship and definitely not in a marriage, too.
So, if men say that they do not like to marry extremely jealous women, they are right to say so.
9. Promiscuous women
I know that we are in the digital age where everyone picks their phone and types, “Do you, the world, will adjust?” “It’s your body, and you can do whatever you want,” and other similar statements that can be misleading when taken out of context.
Well, the harsh reality of life will be waiting for such people when they drop their phones.
The truth is that promiscuity remains a red flag for people of all ages, regardless of what we read on the Internet.
No one wants to settle down with anyone who has been sexually intimate with almost everyone.
It’s very awkward and humiliating to find out that one’s potential spouse has slept with some of one’s friends.
It’s enough grounds to call off a marriage.
So, while social media is cheering some people to their doom, be rest assured that promiscuous people (women in this context) are getting jilted every other day because of their crazy body count.
Let’s not get started on the possibility of these people having STIs and STDs.
No one wants to walk into such life-threatening problems with their two eyes open.
