60 Painfully Obvious Signs The Man You’re Dating Is A Total Douchebag

Though there is no scientific evidence on the subject, in researching this article, we’re fairly sure that roughly 1 in 4 men and women aredatingan honest-to-goodness douche (yes, women can be douchebags, too). Read on for true encounters so shocking, you might feel compelled to take a shower…in bleach.

1. Choosing to run, hide, deny and ignore instead of communicate respectfully and effectively is cowardly at best and often douchey.
2. Shirtless photo-in-the-mirror profile pics? Douche. Duck lips? Double douche. Oompa-loompa orange tan with frosted lips, fake nails and tramp stamp? Run.
3. You sleep together, he drops you off the same night and says, “Well, thanks for coming out.”
4. Any guy or girl who makes you feel insecure on purpose is a douche.
5. If he knows about “The Game” and thinks it’s “cool,” bye.How old are we?
6. Sorry, ladies: If he only calls you for last-minute dates, you’re plan B or C, and it’s just aboutsex. As they (as in douches) say, “a side chick will never become a main chick.”
7. You’re sleeping together but can’t be Facebook friends or see his Instagram. Red flag!
8. He acts into you, you sleep with him and then he says it’s cool if you see other guys but wants to continue sleeping with you. Ladies, this is not someone you want to spend time with. What dude wants to share that? Oh, we know: a douche.
