Prepare for an eye-opening journey into the world of dating and relationships. A recent online forum discussion sparked a revealing conversation about the most unappealing personality traits that women find in men.
Emotional Immaturity

One woman puts her view on emotional maturity simply by saying, “You’re an adult. Act like one.” Some people commented that parents can do a lot of damage to their kids and, therefore, there should be some understanding given to people acting immature. Still, most people agreed that maturity is a deal breaker.
Lack of Empathy

Many people spoke of wanting to feel valued by the men in their lives, meaning empathy is essential in any relationship. One online user explained that simple things like buying a bar of chocolate when you know your girlfriend has had a bad day can go a long way. She said, “It’s a gesture of ‘your happiness means something to me,’ and not many guys have it.”
The Ability to Compromise

In any relationship, it is important to see things from the other person’s perspective, and a little give and take will make a relationship go a long way. When it comes to men, one woman commented that “If a man is willing to learn and compromise, it’s not that much of a big deal, but if he won’t learn, won’t improve, and won’t even admit he’s immature or selfish, he’s out.” This comment got a lot of votes, so it seems being selfish is a big ‘no no’ boy.
Mansplaining

Mansplaining, or as one online user called it ‘explainititis” is one of the most frustrating things that women have to endure when speaking with men. The need to explain things in an often patronizing way is something many men cannot stop doing.
Toxic Masculinity

Bravado and machismo are always big turn-offs for women, with one person commenting that they are worried about how much men think about ‘how manly’ they are and must be all bravado and actively show they aren’t into ‘girly’ things. “(Labeling things as ‘manly’ or ‘girly’ I don’t really like either)”. Another person commented that “It’s more that it shows an extreme feeling of discomfort with anything feminine as if there’s a problem in liking ‘girly’ things.” It is safe to say that men who rise above stereotypes will win in the relationship stakes.
Being Condescending

One woman rose to say clearly that she “cannot stand when a man thinks he knows more than me on every topic and I’m just cute for thinking otherwise. Ugh, YOU DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING!!” We have to agree, sometimes, men. You are just plain wrong.
Lack of Compliments

It appears that men are good at paying compliments on their girlfriend’s appearance but are not so well at celebrating them when it comes to brains or personalities. One woman commented that “I have hated it when my boyfriends have had nothing to say to me other than ‘You’re so pretty/beautiful/hot/sexy.’ This sentiment was echoed when another woman said, ‘It may be petty, but after a while, it DOES get annoying and really makes you wonder if a guy really likes you for YOU or just because he finds you attractive.’”
Frail Egos

One of the most popular replies to the OP was that men who have frail egos do not endear themselves to women. The fact that so many men take themselves so seriously is one of the biggest reasons women get frustrated with the opposite sex.
No Sense of Humor

Being serious all of the time is so unattractive for many women, and one woman states that “I love jokes. I love hearing people joke around.” We have to agree the ability to have fun in a relationship is essential. It was also pointed out that some men need to learn how to take a joke!
Dishonesty

Whether it is lying about why they were late for your date or how denying their real feelings, more men need to get on board with telling the truth.
Poor Hygiene

You would think that good hygiene is a no-brainer if you want to succeed on the dating scene, but it appears that far too many women have experienced problems with smelly partners. The instructions, as pointed out by one user, are simple: “Shower regularly. Wash with soap.”
Superiority

One woman commented that “I hate it when a guy acts like he’s hot because he’s richer/smarter/better looking than everyone else.” The advice would be to relax with who you are and what you have and try not to be so competitive, as making out you are better than others will not lead to long relationships.
That completes the top 12 things that women dislike about men, and we are sure you will identify with many of them.
