10 telltale signs of a scumbag

2026-01-16 06:51:58 · · #1

1. Calls everyone "darling".

After you assume you're in a relationship, if he stops calling you by your full name, your English name, or any special nickname, and just calls you "darling," be wary of how many times he's used that term.

2. "It was just a hug."

On a first date, he should have kissed goodbye as soon as he got to your apartment building, but he lingered and insisted on going upstairs. Once upstairs, he insisted on sitting on the same sofa as you, squeezing in and then saying he wanted a hug, "just a little hug." If you actually agreed, well, you know what will happen next. This guy has probably used this trick on at least 50 women.

3. Be cautious and avoid public disclosure

You've been dating for months, and not only has he not introduced you to his friends, but you were also accidentally seen together by one of his friends, which was incredibly awkward. It was as if you weren't in a relationship, but rather that your affair had been exposed! Unfortunately, you might just be his casual sex partner.

4. Their whereabouts are mysterious and unpredictable.

When you want to reach him, you can never find him; when you don't want to, he appears like a surprise. If these surprises happen frequently, it means you're just one of his backup options.

5. Frequently contacted by "colleague Lao Wang"

While you're being affectionate, eating, or chatting, you'll always find him needing to answer a call from "Colleague Lao Wang," and he'll need to avoid you when he answers. Why not call him and see if this seemingly rugged Lao Wang is actually a delicate girl?

6. They shower others with sweet talk and insist on splitting the bill when shopping.

He'd rather pluck the stars and the moon than give you the moon itself; he'd love to pluck the Milky Way for you. He'll love only you in this life, the next, and the life after that. But if you want to go shopping, eat out, or watch a movie with him, he'll only agree to split the bill.

7. They don't even play AA (Ace of Spades).

You're the one giving him gifts, he never gives you any. Maybe there are times when he forgets his wallet, or has a credit card payment due, or is having cash flow problems... a whole host of excuses, but in the end you're the one paying for it.

8. Always saying bad things about others

He acts like he treats everyone so well and everyone treats him so badly. Breakups are his ex-girlfriend's fault, getting fired is his boss's fault for not recognizing talent, and falling out with friends is his fault for betraying him. In short, all the bad is someone else's fault, and all the good is his. No matter how outstanding a man seems, run away! Of course, you'll become his next target of complaints, but run!

9. A whole host of bizarre symptoms

We won't get married; we won't have children, having children would only harm the next generation; we'll have a bare-bones wedding, your family pays for the banquet; so what if I'm poor, rich people are all fickle; women who demand money, a house, and a car are all sluts; buying a house? I'll pay the down payment, you pay for the renovations, we'll share the mortgage payments, and it'll be in my name, thank you; I'm perfectly content with my current situation, ambition kills people… Having one of these traits might be considered individualistic, but if you have several similar symptoms, without a doubt, you're a scumbag!

10 The Best Mom's Baby

No matter how normal, kind, or reliable he seems, if his mother is awful, it means he has hidden scumbag genes. For example, on your first visit, after his mother asks about your family history and your full background, she starts frowning: "Why aren't you a college graduate? Why doesn't your monthly salary exceed 10,000? Can't you cook? Don't you like doing housework?"

The truly outrageous things didn't end there. His mother started calling him "Meatball" and "Baby," served him food at meals, didn't let him do any chores, praised him for being so outstanding, and reminded him that his only responsibility in life was to take care of him.
