5 types of men every woman should avoid

In all of God’s creation, there is nothing as uncertain as a relationship. That is why a woman can be married to her husband for twenty years and still be shocked by his actions one day.

The character of your partner can determine whether marriage will be a prison or a paradise for you, so choose wisely. Below is a list of 5 types of men that every woman should avoid.

To make this advice fun and easy to remember, let’s represent the different types of men with common food items that you can find in any Ghanaian kitchen.

Mr. Onion:

If your man always makes you cry, my sister, you are married to an onion! These are the men who are emotionally abusive. They insult you, humiliate you and make you feel worthless.

They may never hit you but the words they use can hurt you more than a thousand blows. They can convince you that no one wants you because you are not good enough.

With time, you will even become grateful that he is with you because he will make you feel that you do not even deserve him.

Mr. Pepper:

Has raw, ground pepper accidentally ever touched a part of your body? How did it feel afterwards? I bet it hurt a lot- agyeeiii! The ‘Pepper’ kind of guys are the ones who are physically abusive.

It starts with a shove, then a slap and before you know it, he is battering you even when you are pregnant. You now become a creative story-teller- inventing all kinds of fantastic stories to explain to your work colleagues why your face is swollen every now and then. This is the type of man who will surely kill you one day.

Mr. Sugar:

We all know that sugar is sweet but what we forget is how it can literally make you sick as you consume a lot of it overtime. In the same way, there are many guys that are frauds.

These men can lie about anything. He will tell you he is an international businessman with houses all over the world when he cannot even afford three square meals a day. This guy can lie that he is single although he is married to a wife with four kids and a baby on the way! Unbelievable.

Mr. Bean:

Don’t get it twisted- this is not the funny comedic Mr. Bean we all know. Have you prepared beans for waakye or red red before? You have to pick out stones and insects, soak the beans for hours and then boil it for more hours with lots of water. Haba!

In the same way, there are some men that will take everything from you, your time, money, body and heart without giving you any commitment whatsoever. These men can date you for years and use up all your resources but refuse to even give you an engagement ring.

Mr. Koobi:

Koobi, that tasty, salted tilapia is so notorious for producing a strong aromatic odour when it is used to prepare food. You can be living in your own small apartment but I dare you to cook with koobi and see whether the aroma won’t escape into your neighbour’s room and beyond!

This is the type of guy who doesn’t understand that marriage is primarily between himself and his wife. He does not have any qualms chasing women outside the marriage.

It is better to take your time and select a suitable mate than to rush and select a partner who has some of these negative traits listed. A toxic relationship is a relationship not worth having and you deserve better.

Next time you meet a man who reminds you of any of the characters above, avoid him at all costs and tell him “Sorry oh, Mr. Onion, I’m not ready to cry every day!”
