Comedian Vir Das’ movie Amit Sahni ki List is about a guy who is searching for the woman of his dreams, who ticks every single box on his list. A little like How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, the guy has unrealistic expectations about finding the perfect woman. While we don’t know what constitutes the perfect woman, here are five kinds of women men should definitely stay away from:
# The TeaseWhile all guys like to be teased, there’s nothing worse than the girl who will just keep leading you on. The Tease is unique in the sense that she will always give the impression that she’s into you but will always keep you at an arm’s length making you guess whether to go ahead or not. If you ever meet a woman like that, run far and fast, because all you will end up with is a broken heart.
# The MumWhile the maternal instinct is innate in every woman, it’s not really what one is looking for while dating a woman, that’s what mothers are for. The Mum will become your substitute mother, telling you what to eat, what clothes to wear and even when you should go to the bathroom. She will always have trouble with your messy bed or your slightly shaggy jeans and that really is too much for any sane guy.
# The ClingerThe Clinger is perhaps the most downright, annoying woman on this list who will want to become your Siamese twin. She will be attached to you at the hip and never give you a moment’s peace. Either she will be with you or message you all day long. While a loving girlfriend is nice, it’s annoying beyond belief when she becomes your shadow.
# The Gold DiggerThe Gold Digger is a classic seductress who despite whatever she says is only interested in your money. She will want the most expensive things, gifts, trips and anything money can buy. She will burn out your credit card and take you to the cleaners if you’re naïve. If you really want to figure out whether your girl is one or not, just suggest you’ve lost your job or even better, ask her to pay the bill once!
