The only thing worse than having a job is looking for a job.

Much the same can be said about dating. Men too often put up with a lot of crap from women just to save having to start looking again. In our minds, that shouldn’t be the case. The longer a man is in this situation, the more he will grow accustomed to the drudgery, leading him to stay in the relationship far longer than its expiration date.

Whether you suspect that you’re in this situation or you know it for a fact, we’re here to introduce you to the top 10 signs you’re too good for her — and really need to find someone better.

No.10 You’re always dumbing down conversations around her
And it’s not just her — it’s her entire social universe. Her friends, her family and her coworkers all seem to have an extremely limited vocabulary, one that contains more four-letter expletives than a U.S. Army boot camp. If your cat can match her wit, it’s one of the signs you’re too good for her.

No.9 She f*cks like a porn star
Sure, we all have those fantasies, but if your woman is taking you into uncharted territory that has serious repercussions for personal safety, there’s a good chance it’s a sign you’re too good for her. No limits or boundaries in the intimate sphere means serious problems with self-respect and control in general. Sure the sex will be mind-blowing, but you’ll never know where she’s been or even how she learned her maneuvers, which can only mean one thing…

No.8 None of your friends like her
Your friends don’t like her and they seem to have independently verified, double-blind proof, that she’s awful. You’ve spent a lot of time cultivating your social circle to serve as just this type of guard when you’re in completely over your head, so trust your safety net. If she can’t make simple conversation with your friends, it’s a sign you’re too good for her.

No.7 You’re always encouraging her
If, on a regular basis, you find yourself encouraging your girlfriend to go out and really experience life outside the couch or mall, you’re in all likelihood too good for her. There are certain people for whom ambition or enthusiasm for the future are just plain anathema. You’re not going to be her catalyst and all you’re doing now is wasting valuable energy and focus that you should be spending on your own life.

No.6 She can’t pay for anything
When it comes time to pick up the check for a dinner, a movie or just about anything else the two of you are undertaking she is nowhere to be found. There are two types of women for whom this is a problem: The first is just oblivious to the fact that she should actually pitch into the relationship. The second is just without the ability and just doesn’t seem to have any income. Life’s too short to waste time on either of them.

No.5 She’s amazed by what you take for granted
At a certain point in life, certain realities set in and some things are just taken for granted. After college, a paycheck certainly falls into this category. If your girlfriend is dumbstruck by your ability to garner income, you’re staring into the abyss of someone who cannot hold a job. This may be a warning sign of future problems.

Other things that she’s awestruck by include paying bills, utilities or credit cards on a monthly basis. These should all let you know you’re too good for her.

No.4 She has poor hygiene
If you’ve noticed on numerous occasions that there is a certain unpleasant odor emanating from your betrothed, it may be time to move on. Some people are merely untidy while others endanger your health. You can try mentioning in passing that there seems to be something amiss, but by and large, you’re going to be facing a recurring and uphill battle if you want her to change.

No.3 She is devoid of natural curiosity
The universe is a strange and mysterious place. Every day you come across phenomena that nearly cry out for further explanation. At least you thought so, until you met your current girlfriend. If you’ve been together for a while and you’ve never heard her mention travel or a book she has read, you’re in trouble. Conversations based upon first-hand experience from your day are both powerfully limiting and dull.

No.2 She gets into trouble with the law
There is a time when authority figures are challenged and boundaries are defined. It’s called adolescence. It’s when your juvenile record can be sealed and expunged. If she’s still shoplifting or finding herself on the business side of a DUI conviction, that’s just reckless and is endangering your future. It shows that she hasn’t developed a sense of what is right or wrong, nor does she have any respect for the possessions of others.

No.1 Her best asset is her looks
Relationships are a growing concern. You’re supposed to find other qualities that endear her to you beyond the initial physical attraction. If you haven’t found anything like that and in fact have found many qualities that the good looks are covering up for, then you’re too good for her. You need to move on and find someone else. If you don’t, you’re selling yourself short. Strike out in a new direction and find someone who is both physically attractive as well as your equal or better in the other 98% of life.
