Listen up, folks! If you’re searching for a partner, you might want to refrain from these stunts.
An online community of ladies shares the 15 aggravating things men say/do that they detest.
When They Can’t Admit When They’re Wrong
Nobody likes to be wrong, but there seems to be a large percentage of men who refuse to believe they’re ever wrong.
One user shared: “When they not only can’t admit to being wrong but when they realize it, they got all huffy puffy hoity-toity.”
No shame in getting it wrong, fellas. No one’s perfect!
Unsolicited Pics
You know the ones we mean! Gents, listen up, NO lady wants to open her phone or laptop to a picture of your manhood – unless specifically requested. Knock it off!
“Unwanted, inappropriate pictures that were not asked for (I’m pretty sure you know which ones I’m talking about). My poor sister was sent one a few years ago, and she was a minor.”
Moaning
Would you like some cheese with that whine?
One lady shared: “I’m talking about whining a child does. You see a video of a guy in a restaurant like, ‘This isn’t what I ordered! Omg, my night is ruined!’ trying to get validation for being wronged by his followers. It’s so not manly.”
Confusing Friendliness For Flirting
EVERY SINGLE WOMAN has experienced this – without exception. That maddening scenario when a female is being friendly or, you know, polite and civilized, and a guy mistakes that as a green light for a nighttime call.
One sharer said, “Automatically think I’m hitting on them because I’m being nice to them at work. I’m not…it’s MY JOB to be nice to you!”
Gaslighting
“Doing something that hurts you somehow and trying to make you look crazy emotional.”
AKA, gaslighting.
For those unfamiliar with the term: it is a manipulative tactic in which the gas lighter tries to plant seeds of doubt in the partner’s head for control or behavior denial.
Tinkle Sprinkles
Ladies do not like to put their bare butts down on a wet seat, fellas. If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be sweet and wipe the seat!
One sharer stated: “Men, please wipe the toilet seat when you are finished peeing. And if you miss and hit the floor, wipe it up. Please. You can do this. I am losing my mind.”
Smile, Darlin’!
“When a man tells you to smile. Especially some stranger you cross paths with on the street.”
You’d be hard-pushed to find one woman who hasn’t been told to smile by a man. And you’d be hard-pushed to find a man who has received a smile from a woman he just told to smile.
Guys, on behalf of women everywhere: stop it.
Disrespecting A Woman’s Opinion Until Evidence is Presented
As in refusing to believe a female’s opinion or experience is valid – unless they’ve witnessed it themselves.
One user said, “One time, we were walking on the sidewalk together when I asked the guy to pick up the pace because a dust devil was heading toward us. He first ignored me until a man on the same sidewalk warned us too.
He had no reason to assume I was lying: the town was in the Mojave Desert where dust devils aren’t uncommon, several empty, dusty lots on the street, and pranks aren’t my style of humor.”
Emotional Immaturity
This covers a multitude of areas, but one area was this one:
“When you’re upset with them about something, they get even more upset and sulk until you have to forgive them and comfort them. My best example: my ex-bf broke up with me and got so upset that I had to comfort him… about breaking up with me?”
Trying to Turn Every Conversation Into Something Inappropriate
We’ve all met those guys who can turn even the most mundane subjects into inappropriate “banter.” And it doesn’t wash with the womenfolk.
“Turning pretty much anything inappropriate and being too open about your private preferences. Like I’m trying to tell you something serious. I don’t care about your weird fantasies because we are just friends.”
“Jokes” About Violence Towards Women
It may be a joke, but it’s not funny – and it’s certainly not what women want to hear – or see.
“Sharing memes about hitting women. Even if it’s a joke or a ‘funny’ joke, women will immediately think you’re an abusive person behind closed doors.”
It makes men look like giant walking red flags.
First Date Pushiness
This can be regarding intimacy, a kiss at the doorstep, or any other date aspect. One woman said, “Pushing to pick you up on the first date. Like I’m getting in the car with a stranger!”
Fellas: it comes across as controlling and predatory. Let her do her thing and respect that she wants to feel safe.
Being Gross
We know, we know: guys can be super gross, and sometimes yes, it’s funny. Most of the time, however, it’s inappropriate and doesn’t impress anyone.
“Burping obnoxiously loudly EVERY SINGLE TIME like they’re showing off some major achievement. Bonus points if it stinks.”
It’s just gross.
Incel Culture
AKA, “Assuming that it’s the woman’s fault if they aren’t getting intimacy enough. Gosh, I hate that!”
For those not in the know, ‘incel’ is short for ‘involuntarily celibate,’ it consists of a community of men who feel entitled to intimate relations, aren’t getting any, and hold women responsible for their lack of action.
Mansplaining
“Treating me like I’m stupid, even ending in mansplaining stuff, arguing how wrong I am – even when I can provide proof. Or worse: when they also low-key treat me like I’m a child…”
It just smacks of disrespect purely based on gender.
