In the world of romance, we all have a type. Maybe you like 'em tall, maybe you like 'em dark, maybe you like 'em handsome, but if you're doomed to date the same type of toxic dudes, you might be wondering how to break the cycle. We can't help who we fall for, but maybe if serial singles learned to notice the red flags of their experienced 'type' of guys in their track record, it might save you the heartache of dating another one of the bad ones. 

Girls may fight the urge to date the losers that remind us of our exes; they are our 'type' after all. And even as silly as it sounds, it's hard to stray from the familiar, but the gals in our next thread have learned the first step of finding the right guy–which may be as simple as admitting you're the problem. Or at least, your type is the problem. 

So if you're banging your head against a wall because of the bad dudes you've dated in the past, perhaps this next collection will shine some light on the darkest corners of your psyche–the ones that hide the type of guys that always come back for more.
