A f*ckboy is this generation’s version of the plague. They're everywhere and we’re not sure how to get rid of them. They come in all shapes and sizes and the product may vary, but one is a f*ckboy, you will know. These types of guys will lead you on into thinking you will end up marrying this guy, when in reality he stopped replying to your texts, like, last Tuesday. All in all, a f*ckboy is basically a guy who clearly does not know how to treat women right. I’m here to share my wisdom on how I have been avoiding these kinds of guys. Hopefully, you will use these red flags and tips in your future to steer clear of the guys who don’t seem to have a brain but are always thinking with their head.

1. Snapchat is usually the preferred method of communication.

F*ckboys believe this is the key to success, because texting is apparently too serious, and calling? Don’t even bother waiting by the phone. Instead, expect a snap text promptly at 11:57 PM.

2. “Hey, you wanna Netflix and Chill?”

Somehow in some distorted way these boys believe this is considered asking someone out on a date, when we all know what he’s gonna try five minutes into "The Notebook." Instead tell him you’d rather Netflix and Chipotle by yourself.

3. He doesn’t believe in labels or titles.

Come on, we’ve been talking for how many months now, you can’t keep avoiding the DTR and blaming it on your “commitment issues.” Trust me, if a good guy wants you, he’ll wife you up real quick.

4. Pet names.

Being called "cutie" could’ve been cute in the sixth grade, but not when he is calling you pet names because he forgot your actual name due to the fact that he can’t remember if your Ashley with the ass, Dana with the double D’s, or Becky with the good hair.

5. He likes your Instagram pictures, but you still haven’t gotten a text back.

If he leaves you on "delivered" for more than a day, he’s a certified f*ckboy and you should’ve already given up when he asked to play 21 questions.

6. If he asks what you’re doing and you proceed to be a dumbass and tell him you’re in the shower and he responds “without me ;)”

Listen, you set this one up for yourself.

7. Midnight is douchebag o'clock.

All your conversations end up beginning at this hour, and usually end with, “Come over, I'm bored.” This is a sign that you need to just stay in bed, and use the excuse that you took off all your makeup anyways.

8. He is always super flaky, and making excuses.

“I’m doing homework,” he says when you ask to hang out but you see a snap chat of him and his friends about 30 minutes later. If he can’t just be honest, get out while you can.

9. The infamous side hug in public.

I guess he forgot what you guys were doing the night before. He is a f*ckboy and clearly, a bad one at it, friend zone him, before he friend zones you.

10. Ask him about his ex-girlfriend.

This is the best way to tell if you are dealing with the ultimate f*ckboy, if the words, "crazy b*tch," come out of his mouth. RUN, because I'm sure she wasn’t crazy when he met her. (Although there is a slight chance she might’ve been crazy and tried to you know like, stab him to death or something. Under those circumstances, the phrase "crazy b*tch" allowed.)
