These Are The 10 Things Women Apparently Find Unattractive In Men
We told you the ridiculous things men apparently find "unattractive" in women - so now let's look at all the crazy things women find unattractive in men.
1. Men who are obsessed with the gym
Millennial Lifestyle: "Women love men who are confident and comfortable with their bodies. But when a guy spends more time in the gym than with you it’s a problem. Here’s a hint guys – most women aren’t into guys who are obsessed with their muscles and who buy X-small T-shirts just to show them off. When you are obsessed with your looks and your body it can make women feel insecure about their own bodies and will make them think looking good is the only thing you care about."
IMHO: If you're a guy who loves going to the gym, that's awesome and more power to you! Just please don't be a douche about it. It's the cocky attitude that turns women off, not the fact that you want to take care of your body and be healthy. Limit the gym selfies too, please and thank you.
2. Men who aren't motivated
Millennial Lifestyle: "You don’t have to be raking in millions of dollars to attract a lady. But here’s what you do have to have – ambition. Not having a plan for your future or any goals for the kind of career you want to have is a big turn off. No one wants to settle down with someone who only wants to sit home in their pajama bottoms playing Xbox or watching daytime game shows. So get yourself some aspiration. Women want an intelligent guy who wants to go somewhere in life."
IMHO: You know what Fergie says - "if you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home." OK, ambition is important. But if he's not living up to Fergie's standards, we're not going to kick him to the curb either. It's fine if he doesn't have his life figured out yet, and honestly, having a strong interest in or passion for something is much sexier than a guy who just makes a ton of money and is a total snooze.
3. Men with no fashion sense
Millennial Lifestyle: "Women aren’t saying you need to wear a suit and tie every day, but the way you dress says a lot about your personality and hygiene. If you insist on throwing out your iron and walk around all day in a wrinkly shirt and pants, you’re telling the female species that you just don’t give a crap about yourself, thus you’re unlikely to give a crap about her. And if you’re [sic.] clothes are dirty, for the love of all that is holy, learn how to use a washing machine. Nothing says lazy than a guy who can’t be bothered to clean up. So brush you’re [sic.] teeth, iron your clothes and put on some deodorant."
IMHO: If he has a giant ketchup stain on his shirt or he's wearing different colored socks, it's obvious, but not a dealbreaker. Sure, I'm judging his clothes, but I'm not looking at him and thinking: he wore that shirt two days in a row so he won't give a crap about me. Fashion is important to some but not all women, and it's safe to say that what's on the inside matters more anyway.
4. Men who throw their money around with no sense of responsibility
Millennial Lifestyle: "When a woman is dating a guy she will look for signs that you are a catch for the present AND for the future. If you act irresponsible, she will notice. Don’t throw around your money on alcohol and take-out food. Women do not want to mother you, they want to be partners with you. So act responsible. Show her you care about the future."
IMHO: I mean, I spend all my money on alcohol and take out food, so I wouldn't judge a guy if he did the same thing...
5. Men who go overboard on primping themselves
Millennial Lifestyle: "As the saying goes – you should never date a guy who takes longer than you to get ready. And women live by this rule. They don’t want someone whose bathroom cabinet has more beauty products than hers. They don’t want to watch you straighten your hair – yes, it happens – or wax your back or get a pedicure. Women want a man who is sensitive but not a man who acts like a beauty queen. Be kind, respectful but still, be a man."
IMHO: Just like there are all types of women, there are all types of men, so I don't think it's fair to say "be a man" - that's just reinforcing gender stereotypes. It's really a personal preference for this one. I'm more into guys who just roll with their bed head, so I would agree I'm not into guys who primp - but guys who love their beauty products should keep at it because there's no shame in that either!
6. Men who are egotistical
Millennial Lifestyle: "When you’re on a date with a woman ask her about herself – her job, her family, her hobbies. Nothing is more unattractive to a woman than listening to her date talk for hours about himself and how wonderful he is. Rambling on about how hot your ex-girlfriends were or how expensive your car is just won’t cut it. She will likely find an excuse to end the date early and never call you again."
IMHO: Yes, definitely. This isn't to say women only want to talk about themselves - it's to say that egotistical people, in general, are the worst. No one even wants to have a friend where the conversation always revolves around them and you can't get a word in.
7. Men who are not chivalrous
Millennial Lifestyle: "It’s true that women today are more independent and self-sufficient than ever. But don’t underestimate the romance behind a little chivalry. Women still like to feel special. So open the car door for her, put your arm around her, walk her to the door. Make her feel safe and cared for. Ditching her to walk home late at night by herself so you can go home to bed or to meet the guys for a drink simply shows you don’t care."
IMHO: Chivalry is dead, haven't you heard? I think there's a difference between a guy being chivalrous and a guy being well-mannered. I feel awkward when a man goes out of his way to open the door since I'm fully capable of opening doors myself, but from time to time, sure it's nice! As for ditching you to walk home late at night, the same would apply for a friend too - it's just a jerk move.
8. Guys who have no sense of humor
Millennial Lifestyle: "Humor is a powerful tool for any man. Nothing turns a woman on more than a man who makes her laugh. Being too serious can make a date awkward and uncomfortable. So relax, make some jokes and laugh away the night. It will make her feel more relaxed and the date will be a hit. Having a sense of humor means you’re fun to be around and will mean she will leave the date wanting more."
IMHO: Yassss. This is the truest thing on this list, hands down. MAKE ME LAUGH, GUYS.
9. Men who are jealous
Millennial Lifestyle: "As much as women want to feel loved and cared for, they don’t want to be over-protected by a jealous guy. Constantly asking where she is going, or telling her what not to wear is a sign of your own insecurity and women will not stand for it. Insecure men are extremely unattractive."
IMHO: Jealousy is unattractive, yes, but it could be more deep-rooted than that - it's a sign of insecurity in the relationship. Instead of thinking of jealousy as a major turn off (not denying it can be) try having an honest conversation about your relationship to clear things up. You may be surprised.
10. Men who excessively flirt with other women
Millennial Lifestyle: "This is easy boys – if you want a woman to like you than show her she’s the only one. Nothing will anger a woman more or make her feel insecure in a relationship than watching you check out other women wherever you go. So the next time you see a hot girl in the mall, avoid undressing her with your eyes and look the other way. Likewise, if you’re at a party or a bar do not EVER flirt with other women and NEVER EVER with her friends. A woman wants a guy who is into her – not into every single girl who wears a short shirt or tight top. Show some respect and you’ll get some back."
IMHO: Britney Spears' "Womanizer" pretty much says it all with this one. Most women probably don't want to be in a relationship with a man who flirts with everyone. Relationships are about trust, and you don't want to violate that. It's one thing to be a natural flirt, and another to be a complete douche who hits on everything that moves. Just don't be that person for the sake of humanity.
