Men Are Getting Brutally Honest About The 'Icks' They Get From Women That Immediately Let Them Know She's Not The One
Men of the BuzzFeed Community have been very vocal about what bothers them about...women. I know this is a heated topic, but we have to be fair and let people share their thoughts on the opposite sex, right? Take a deep breath because below, here are things men shared that women do that annoy and turn them off:
1. “What I’ve been told by a guy: when women that are already in a relationship seek validation from other men when it’s clear that they are not attracted to them.”
2. “I have known women who do the ‘expect princess treatment but don’t return it’ things and am surprised that any partner would put up with that kind of behavior. You get what you give.”
3. “Wrongly telling you what you are thinking and then making you defend why you are thinking it.”
4. “Women who think being hurtful is humourous.”
5. “I think that the silent treatment is immature. You’re an adult, use your words. Sometimes, the hurt caused is so extreme that the other can only be silent because the pain is too strong at the time. Sometimes, people are silent after being hurt cuz they don’t know what to say and need time to process and think it through. While I think if someone purposely gives the silent treatment as a way to be manipulative, it is just wrong and messed up. ”
6. “I’d add ‘weaponizing therapy speech.’”
7. “Baby talk. Do NOT refer to me as ‘daddy.’ That’s fucking creepy, not sexy.”
8. “My husband had a long-time girlfriend who emasculated his emotions, and now I have to constantly remind him that it’s safe to cry or be mad.”
9. “When they stop taking care of themselves. She dressed drop-dead gorgeous when we started dating, and now she dresses like she’s staying in even when we go out with friends. I still love who she is, so I find myself wanting to cheat on her to find that sexual fulfillment, but I don’t because she means so much to me, more than just sex. I feel trapped every day because she makes me happy with everything else, but the sex has become extremely infrequent due to my unattraction towards her.”
10. “If she walks around with her phone in her hand all the time, it’s a bad sign. (Unless she’s waiting for Uber or a callback.) Also, don’t think before saying something; you don’t always have to put your two cents in.”
11. “I dated a woman that, when she was listening to you and looking right at you, she would have her mouth open and twisting her tongue around in her mouth. It’s hard to describe. It was weird.”
12. “When you’re not as important to them as they are to you. They tell you that you are, but you drop everything you’re doing to be there and make sure she’s ok, and listen to her and hold her for hours when she needs it. Then, if it’s for you, something always comes up, or I promise I’ll make it up to some time. If I don’t fit in your life, you can’t be in mine anymore.”
13. “Maybe it’s just emulating the movies or something, but if in a disagreement, she says, ‘I’ve got at least 10 other guys I could call right now, and they would run over here and be with me.’ Cool. Don’t be mad when they ask you for the gas money they took to get here. I’m out.”
14. “Women who have zero goals. For example they won’t work to earn money and won’t save for the future. They are just floating through fantasyland life expecting me to pick up the tab all the way into retirement.”
