2 Different Kinds of Guys and How to Date Them!
Wouldn’t it be great to identify the different kinds of guys and know which is best for you? Get the pros and cons of two different types below!
It’s no secret – men are hard to classify. Each guy is a mixture of several characteristics, creating their unique personality. Men can change and move into different categories for brief periods of time.
The shy guy can have his outgoing moments, (think alcohol) and the short, over compensating guy can lay off the gym and turn into a momma’s boy for a short time.
Still, guys fall into several major classifications. Identified here are two of my ten different kinds of guys, their pros and cons, and whether or not they’re datable, as well as a few helpful tips on dating each kind of guy!

Different Kinds of Guys | The Over-Compensator
The Over-Compensator can be found at the gym!
This kind of guy fakes his low self-esteem better than most. The Over-Compensator tends to be short and he probably drives a big truck. He likely has larger than life, barbed wire tattoos covering his arms. His truck has a loud exhaust system – on purpose – so he can announce his low self-worth.
This guy will never cry, and he works out every day. He walks with great posture and looks as if he has beehives under his arm pits. Muscle shirts? Oh yeah, even in the winter. This guy smells good, albeit, a little too good. He wears lifts in his shoes but, if you ask him, he’ll say they’re orthotics.
The Over-Compensator eats extremely well, if you like protein. No chips or cookies for this guy – no way. Just a steroid shot in the ass and a power shake for good measure!
The Pros
+ With proper care, this man can improve.
All kidding aside, the Over-Compensator can be a good guy. Many people have low self-esteem, but this man is doing something about it, unlike most of his counterparts.
This kind of guy should get credit for that. He works hard, not only at the gym, but at his job and in his relationships. The Over-Compensator tends to have a good job too. When his ego is stroked a little, he will stop showing off and get down to business.
+ He is a protector
The Over-Compensator will keep you safe. Leave the pit-bull at the animal shelter – you are dating one…no dog food needed (but don’t forget the protein shake)!
The Cons
– His attitude
The Over-Compensator can have an attitude if he doesn’t get his ego stroked. He will be quick to pick a fight with any man who insults or challenges him. This makes him a look a little immature compared to other guys.
– Jealousy
This type of guy tends to be jealous. He has difficulty coping with competition and will always have some shortcomings in this department.
Never make fun of his truck!
– Poor spending habits
This guy is a spender! He spends a lot on material items as part of his attempt to prove to the masses that he is just as good as the next guy. He does much better controlling this impulse when he is with a loving woman.
Is He Datable? How?
The Over-Compensator can be datable. The key is to never make fun of him or his truck until you really know him, and even then, be very careful. This is especially true in the bedroom.
One mention of his small penis and he’s doing more chin-ups and putting even bigger tires on his ’75 Bronco. He has limited funds to begin with, and know your birthday gift will be reduced to a Planet Fitness 5% off membership coupon.
To stroke the Over-Compensator’s ego, let him make the plans. He will be very good at it and very willing. When in public, do not even think of looking at other guys – especially tall guys. If you do, get ready for the street fight.
It’s important to know why this man is overcompensating. It may be based on harmless insecurities like his height, or it could be his limited bank account. It could also be more harmful insecurities like really low self-esteem and drug or alcohol addiction. These can cause anger issues.
He’s 5 foot 2 inches so don’t wear heels!
If you are okay with his reasons for overcompensating, you can begin to build his confidence by showing him that his shortcomings are no big deal to you. The Over-Compensator can be a good man. He is a sensitive man, he just has a few hot button issues that need to be understood and massaged by you.
My Top Pointers for dating the Over-Compensator
Never wear heels – he won’t even walk next to you;
Don’t ask him about the weights in his living room, bedroom, foyer, closet, dining room or bath;
Take advantage of his many mirrors – kneel down and feel free to fix your hair;
Don’t put your feet up on the dash – even if it IS a 75 Bronco – he will get angry;
Ask him daily how many chin-ups he did;
Understand why he is overcompensating and counter this with support.

Different Kinds of Guys |The Momma’s Boy
This kind of guy is smart, and he will be all in with you, but he will never mention that he lives in the basement of his mother’s house. He has money because, well, he lives in the basement of his mother’s house!
Yep. that was him 35 years ago. Still a Momma’s boy today!
Even if he moves in with you, mom comes with him in some way, shape or form. If you live in, or move to another state, mom will move close by. Decisions? Better check with mom. Kids? Only mom can babysit. Big argument? Mom and her boy will take sides against you.
The interesting thing is that he is a good man. This attachment is his baggage, but it also can be his strength.
The Pros
+ Chivalry
The Momma’s Boy is taught from a young age to treat a woman with respect. This comes from being taught to never disrespect his mom, but it also means that he won’t disrespect you or any other woman. You are very safe with this man. He will open doors for you and protect you from harm.
+ Emotional sharing
The Momma’s Boy is comfortable sharing his emotions and understands women better than other kinds of guys. This allows you talk more freely about your needs than you could with other men. Upset at work? He will want to hear why. Fender bender? He will be there to comfort you.
The Cons
– Privacy
There will be times when you will have very little privacy. Mom will stop by unannounced. She will have little regard for what you are doing and whether you are in the middle of something. Mom knows and takes advantage of the fact that she is number one with Junior.
No amount of locks will keep Mom from visiting!
Dinners and love making will be interrupted by text messages and phone calls and, if you get upset – watch out! You should also be aware that private and personal facts about you and your relationship are probably being shared with mom.
– Meeting her standards
Meeting mom’s high standards for her boy takes a woman with very high self-esteem. She is a master at beating down a lady with low self-esteem. She will be skeptical on almost every level until she feels you are worthy of dating her son.
Is He Datable? How?
The Momma’s Boy can be datable. You need to be prepared to date two people though – mom and Junior. When you ask him for a decision, understand that it will be made only after he talks to mom.
The key is to stay on mom’s good side. If you do, you will win over her heart and his too! As a bonus, all her money comes your way in the form of down payments for a house, luxury cars and anything the kids want.
On the down side, if you piss off mom, you are in trouble! A prenup is a given! She will always have a better lawyer than you and if she tells Junior to dump you – he will have to comply.
Momma’s Boy requires lots of attention
The Momma’s Boy needs love. He is accustomed to getting plenty from mom and trying to shift this responsibility over to you could be difficult. His attachment to his mom can be a huge point of contention between the two of you.
Love this guy, lavish him with attention daily, honor and recognize his bond with his mother and you could win him over for life.
A Momma’s Boy needs nurturing. He will ultimately date and marry a woman who reminds him of his mom. A Momma’s Boys generally date motherly types of women.
He is an emotional man, which means he is very sensitive and sympathetic to others. He might even cry when you cry.
My Top Pointers for dating the Momma’s Boy
Suck up to mom and stay on her good side;
Include mom at the beginning of any decision – you might even ask her first; try something like this: “What do you think your son would like, a Ferrari or a Porsche?”
Pick the most expensive house you can afford and then add 25%…Junior is worth it and mom will make up the difference – just avoid a duplex;
Give this man love daily;
Spend time alone with his mom – this will pay off big time.
