Just like women, every man is looking for something different in a partner. Some want a traditional relationship with a male bread winner, whilst others are more interested matching up their hobbies and interests. Theres no fail safe way to ensure you impress on a date and sometimes youre just not going to be each others cup of tea. But whilst everyone has their personal tastes, there a few things most men agree on. We chat to some guys to find out their top six turn offs.
Nasty Gossiping
We all like the occasional story or titbit of information, but men dont like it when women become too mean and catty. If your Facebook feed is a constant stream of putdowns against other people, dont be surprised when your date doesnt share your views. Its easy to cross the line from funny to mean and most men dont like it.
Dishonesty
It turns out men dont like lies anymore than we do, so make sure youre as honest as possible with your new date. Were not suggesting you share the entirety of your gynaecological history but be truthful about the important aspects of your life. He wants to get to know the real you, not a fantasy youve made up.
Rudeness
Most guys dont like a princess and rudeness is very off putting on dates. When the waiter gets your order wrong they dont want a girl that throws and tantrum and starts shouting. They want a woman who deals with the situation politely without fuss. Remember good manners cost nothing so you might as well flaunt yours.
Lack of independence
Some men may want a little wife to take care of, but it seems plenty more are turned off by women who lack independence. When a girl cant state her opinion or live her own life without someone holding her hand, its not very sexy.
Complaining
Weve all had nights when the dinners been cold or they bring the wrong wine or its just too warm to get comfortable. But constant whinging throughout a date is one of the top turn offs for men. Were not saying you shouldnt send back badly prepared food, but be prepared for a bit of compromise throughout the evening or youll look like a whiner.
No sense of humour
This one is definitely dependent on personal taste, but it seems most men prefer a woman with a fun sense of humour. Dont worry about trying to be Little Miss Perfect on a date. Just relax, be happy and dont take yourself too seriously.
