Why do I hate guys that are clingy? And why are all guys so clingy?

Every guy I have ever dated is super chill until we actually start dating. Then all of a sudden they are at my side constantly, needing to touch me or talk to me somehow. If we're at a party and I am talking with somebody, they're there. Or at the bar with a group of people and I go to get drinks or do something with someone else they have to follow. And hold my hand while doing so. And they constantly ask if I'm alright and do all this cutesie talk in front of everyone which I find embarassing. And they get offended when I say no if they tell me to sit down with them while I'm talking to someone, or if I walk away without them. And they must know EVERYTHING. i.e.: I was going to get a ride home from a friend at the bar, they were giving me and a couple other people rides but they didn't want anybody knowing they were doing so because they didn't want people asking them for rides. I told my boyfriend I had a ride and was leaving soon, and he asked who was giving me the ride, and there were like 7 people standing around listening to our conversation so I told him I'm not supposed to tell anyone as they didn't want people knowing they were offering rides. And he kept asking and I would say no and I finally just told him cause he was pissing me off and was holding onto me and wouldn't let me walk away unless I told him (believe me, I tried to walk away).

I hate when guys do this, why are guys like this? I have broken up with 3 guys because they get so clingy.

Update:

It's not that I don't want him around, I don't want him at my side all the time. If I am trying to talk with someone, or do something with someone, I don't need my boyfriend there. I have other friends, I have a social life. If we're with a big group of friends, I want him to be able to go off and hang with his friends and me do the same. Obviously I want to spend time with him too, but I want to be able to do my own thing as well.

    I get the same thing. My past 2 boyfriends have been really OTT clingy. Texting me consantly while im at work, turning up at my house in the morning without even asking, I couldn't even go out for a few hours with my friends without them constantly calling. You just have to be straight with them, tell them you like your space. Spend at least 1-2 days a week with them, text them in your free time, but don't let them become obsessed with you.

    Realize that a lot of guys/girls use the wanting to be with friends thing and being secretive in order to cheat or carry on multiple relationships at once. It's a scary ride to deal with someone who always needs their space, because you're never sure why they need that much space. Better for you to just be upfront and tell them you aren't ready for a serious relationship at all. It sounds like you really don't want a bf, or just haven't felt really close to someone yet.

    ALL guys are NOT clingy - my son broke up with a girl because SHE was too clingy. I would the say the problem lies with you. why would a guy date a girl if she doesn't want him around?
