To be quite honest, I think we have all been on both sides of the coin at one point of our lives. To say you've never used someone or never been used would be a lie. Not just in relationships but also everyday life scenarios. When it comes to relationships though, no one likes to be used. Most of us women prefer men who are vocal about what they want. It's much better when a man tells you upfront that he just wants to f*ck, than a guy who takes you round circles, promising you the world and once he gets the goodies, he vanishes. While guys can be such pathetic liars, women have become even better in this game of 'using' men. You'll literally find women who have ten types of boyfriends and each has a purpose. One is for food, another airtime, another nights out etc...

Men, do you sometimes feel like you're being used? Here are the signs you should look out for:

1. She's very vague about what she wants and the kind of relationship that the two of you have.

When you ask to date her, she will have a plethora of reasons why she can't date at the moment, the most common being "She just got out of a relationship".

2. Subsequently, she will never post anything about you on social media or even tell her friends about you.

3. She's super flaky and will only meet you at her convenience...

4. Or when she knows she's getting something nice after meeting you; like, a 5 course meal at a 5 star restaurant.

5. You have never hooked up...

6. And if you have, that's because she wanted something from you like an exotic tip or an expensive gift.

7. She seems materialistic, constantly asks about your job and her hints can tell you that she's probably high maintainance.

8. She constantly wants her space and rarely wants to hang out with you or your friends and family.

9. When it comes to communication, she calls you at specific times or days.

10. She never pays for anything. Hello, you're the ATM...

11. She never involves you in anything in her life, rarely checks in on you and you only get to see these bits of her life on social media, if you're even lucky.

12. You have a feeling that she's using you.

13. In fact, your friends and family have warned you about her.
