Back when I used to write for 2!ĐẸP magazine, I covered dating and relationship topics all the time. But after I quit journalism and shifted to more casual writing on social media, I rarely touch on this topic anymore. Partly because I didn’t want to come off like I was preaching or acting like I knew better than everyone else.
I’m also realistic—I know no relationship is perfect, and I have no intention of putting my own love life on a pedestal just to hand out advice. But something happened recently that really stuck with me and made me feel like I had to share this.
I saw a fellow single mom take her daughter—maybe not even five years old—on a date with a guy at Starbucks. He was sitting at an outdoor table, puffing away on a cigarette right in front of the little girl. That image haunted me. I kept thinking, Why is she okay with this? How can she sit there like nothing’s wrong while her kid breathes in secondhand smoke?
So today, I’m breaking my rule and writing this. Here are seven types of men I believe every woman—especially single moms—should steer clear of when dating. These may seem like small things, but trust me, they’re early signs of deeper issues. And if you ignore them, you might just find yourself starring in your own personal documentary series later on 😅
Seems small, right? It’s not. This kind of guy lacks basic courtesy, awareness, and often thinks the world revolves around him. You might think it’s just poor manners—but no, he lives by the mindset of “whoever moves faster, wins.”
In a relationship, you’ll likely be the one losing.
Just like the guy I mentioned earlier—this is a huge red flag. A man who doesn’t care about others’ health, especially a child’s, isn’t just inconsiderate. That level of disregard is deeply rooted and very hard to fix. Think twice before planning a future with someone like that.
Còn không, hành vi đó chỉ thể hiện rằng ảnh không quan tâm đến trải nghiệm của bạn, không biết hiện diện cùng người khác, và có thể là… đang không chỉ nhắn với bạn thôi đâu hehe
Look, if something urgent comes up, all he has to do is say, “Give me 10 minutes to handle this.” That’s respectful and clear.
If not, his constant phone-checking shows he’s not present, not engaged, and possibly… not just texting you 👀Tình yêu không phải là ban phát – mà là chia sẻ.
Nếu không cùng bạn dọn dẹp sau bữa ăn, ảnh cũng sẽ không cùng bạn dọn dẹp cuộc đời sau này nói thế cho ngắn gọn.
In a healthy relationship, one person cooks, the other helps clean. There’s no “that’s your job” or “I’m not used to doing that.”
Love isn’t about favors. It’s about shared responsibility.
If he won’t help clean up after dinner, chances are, he won’t help clean up life’s messes either.
Bạn là trung bình cộng của 5 người thân nhất quanh bạn. Đừng quên điều đó nha nha nha
Người như vậy khi làm chồng sẽ kéo theo cả chuỗi những “mặc kệ – đại khái – cho xong”. Tóm lại là kiểu người đại khái này sống cùng mệt mỏi vô cùng chỉ khiến phụ nữ cảm thấy tương lai sống chung mờ mịt mịt mờ.
This isn’t about fashion—it’s a sign of laziness, lack of discipline, and zero respect for shared spaces.
A guy like this will probably bring a whole “meh, good enough” attitude into your home. Living with someone who can’t be bothered will wear you down fast.
Nếu ngay cả một hành vi tử tế cơ bản như vậy cũng không có, thì đừng mong ảnh sẽ “giữ lưng” bạn trong những chuyện lớn hơn.
Không biết giữ cửa – cũng sẽ không biết giữ mình, giữ lời, hay giữ bạn :))
Such a simple gesture, but it speaks volumes about his awareness of others and his willingness to care about someone else’s experience.
If he won’t hold the door for a stranger, don’t expect him to have your back when things get real.
Can’t hold a door? Probably can’t hold himself accountable… or hold onto you either 😅
Red flag đôi khi là những hành vi rất nhỏ – nhưng nói lên cả hệ thống tư duy, nền tảng nhân cách, và mức độ sẵn sàng cho một mối quan hệ có trách nhiệm.
Nếu bạn còn thời gian để chọn, hãy chọn kỹ.
Vì một khi đã có con, bạn mới hiểu…
chọn chồng tào lao là tự mình ký vào hợp đồng làm siêu nhân không lương trọn đời í hihihi
Sometimes, they’re tiny behaviors that reveal a man’s mindset, values, and his actual capacity for being in a responsible relationship.
If you still have the luxury of choice, choose carefully.
Because once you have kids, you’ll realize—
marrying the wrong guy is like signing up for a full-time superhero job… with no pay. 😅
