3 Types of Women Even Women Should Avoid

I recently read an article for men called 10 Types of Women You Need to Avoid, and it got me thinking… 

I’m normally a “Live & Let Live” advocate who believes everyone deserves a chance, but even I have to admit there are a few exceptions.

Whether you’re male or female, if you want a happy and peaceful life, there are some women you just need to avoid, period. As I mentioned in a previous post, life’s too short.

1. The Dementra: The Female Dementor

  “Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them… Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself…soul-less and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life.“  - Remus Lupin, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban

Ok, so after Remus Lupin’s description, I think it’s pretty clear that the Dementra definitely belongs at the top of the list of Women to Avoid (or run away from - screaming in terror - as the case may be). 

The moaning, groaning, FML-repeating Dementra sucks the joy out of every room she enters, bringing an ominous cloud of gloom to even the brightest of days.

Why You Should Avoid Her: The Dementra refuses to be happy, no matter what you say or do - and she’ll never allow you to be happy in her presence. Nothing - not even chocolate - can save you from the pit of despair she’ll try to drag you into.  Ditch the bitch.  

2. The Frenemitch: The Frenemy’s Evil Sister

 According to Anonymous Nick over at the Urban Dictionary, a frenemy is “someone who is both friend and enemy, a relationship that is both mutually beneficial or dependent while being competitive, fraught with risk and mistrust.”

Frenemies are inevitable. You’ll encounter them in both social and work situations, and if you’re smart you’ll learn to just “know the beast” and act and react accordingly. 

But the Frenemitch (frenemy + bitch) is a whole other creature — a mutant hybrid frenemy who is saccharine sweet on the outside and pure undiluted evil on the inside. Like a sugar-coated cyanide pill.

The Frenemitch is the type of woman who’ll squeal in delight at stories about your new boyfriend - and then make a play for him the minute your back is turned. Not because she really likes him, but just because he’s yours.

She’s the person who’s “there for you” when your marriage breaks up, or when you lose your job or a big promotion - until you realize she was the reason those things happened in the first place. You know the type.

Why You Should Avoid Her:  Good grief, woman!  What part of “sugar-coated cyanide pill” did you not understand?  Ditch the Frenemitch. 

3. Crabela Lugosi: The Vamp That Drags You Down

The term “crab mentality” is used to describe a kind of selfish, short-sighted thinking which runs along the lines of “If I can’t have it, neither can you.”

This concept references an interesting phenomenon which occurs in buckets of crabs. If one crab attempts to escape from a bucket of live crabs, the other crabs will pull it back down, rather than allowing it to get free.  - Wise Geek

If a crab and vampire ever mated, their love child would be the Crabela Lugosi — a nasty lifeblood-sucker with claws, whose biting comments drain your self-esteem so she can drag you back into the bucket of mediocrity.

Why You Should Avoid Her: At the heart of Crabela Lugosi’s nastiness is a deep-seated insecurity that lashes out at people she envies in very destructive ways. You don’t need the criticism, snide put-downs and other obstacles to success that she’ll constantly place in your path.  Ditch the bitch.  

And there you have it.

I originally intended to make a list of 10, but as I already said, I’m a “Live and Let Live” type of gal, and I think the other contenders are manageable.
