While guys driving girls crazy is nothing new, it's safe to say that women of our generation have to deal with much more than the average jerk. The evolution of the f*ckboy is the unfortunate side effect of social media, cockiness and a culture of “Netflix and chill.” These guys have a talent of getting under your skin and turning even the most relaxed, go-with-the-flow girls into the kind that overanalyzes everything and is left in a state of confusion with the dreaded question of “What are we?” I do, however, recognize this is not all the guys' fault. Often times girls go into things thinking that they can change a person, but sadly this most likely won't happen. The only way to protect yourself from these kinds of guys is to see the signs and avoid setting unrealistic relationship goals on them. Here are some of the guys that are bound to make you crazy.

1. The cocky one

There is a very thin line between confident and cocky. When this line is crossed, things get very messy. Everyone has met this kind of guy. He was probably the quarterback of the football team, state championship wrestler or something of that sort. The guy who truly believes that he is God’s gift to women. He is hot and he won’t let you forget that he knows it. The cocky guy believes that his attractiveness is an excuse to treat everyone else with complete disrespect. This guy is dangerous, because he can make girls question their own worth and if they are even “good enough” for him so they will basically do whatever he wants. Girls, just remember that there is always someone better and hotter than that cocky guy you know, so you truly don’t have to deal with this.

2. The ghost

This guy is truly the worst. You will talk to him and you think it’s going well. Maybe you even went on a few dates. Then all of a sudden, you never hear from him again. He gets what he wants then disappears. Literally, this is the worst thing you could possibly do to a girl. At least have the respect to be like, “Hey, I am not really feeling this.” Don’t just disappear off the face of the earth. There is no better way to send a girl crazy than to do this. She will be left wondering what went wrong and what even happened to you.

3. The one who doesn't want a relationship

Whether he told you from the start or you are in the sad circumstance that you have already have known him for some time and have already caught feelings, he just doesn’t want a relationship. Despite a guy directly saying this, girls will make themselves crazy over the fact that they believe that they can change him and be the exception to that rule. Most of the time their efforts will be in vain because “I don’t want a relationship” often translates to “I’m just really not that into you.” This isn’t always completely true, and some guys just genuinely mean that they just don’t do commitment. However, all the times I have heard this statement, it has not quite been genuine. Trust me, I have already seen this end so badly for people. One times, a guy told my friend that he didn’t want a relationship because it just wasn’t the right time with school and work and all the stuff he had going on, and she was totally fine with that. However, she wasn’t fine when a week later he entered a relationship with some other girl that ended up lasting two years. So much for fear of commitment, huh? Don’t fall for this and waste your time.

4. The compulsive liar

Of course this guy will make you crazy, because you will never know if he is telling the truth or not. Liars can never be trusted. You will honestly feel as if you are going insane because there is absolutely no reason to lie. The constant questioning of whether he was really doing what he was doing will drive you nuts. It makes no sense and is just messing with someone and it isn’t right.

5. The guy who's too nice

Unfortunately, there are two versions of this kind of guy and they are equally bad. The first type is the nice guy who is actually genuinely nice and you feel really bad that you just don’t feel the same way. With every kind gesture, you feel worse and you don’t have the heart to tell him. Then there is the other guy that seems nice but truly isn’t. He says and does all the right things only to do something messed up in the end that you don’t even see coming because you thought he was such a nice guy. All I can say is be careful and don’t be too trusting too soon.
