I’m guilty of chatting with my female friends about the icks we get from men, so it just felt right to share men’s icks and turn-offs about women. Here’s what a few people have pointed out in this thread I stumbled upon:

“If you don’t tell me you feel for me after I explain that I feel for you, then I stop trying. It’s a good thing, and a week later he’ll ask. why I stopped trying to spend time with him.”

2.“Disrespectful and condescending attitude. Like, aggressive or condescending. That kills me.”

3.“No hobbies (people who can’t please themselves usually demand your attention, making you unable to do your own hobbies). Another negativity. considered fascinating by most, is pain.”
4.“When women do not meet the same standards as men. Not saying that the roles and responsibilities of each party should be exactly the same in any relationship, but the worst thing is when women act in a certain way / have a certain attitude but will get angry when men it also acts like that.”

5.“When the dating profile is a list of qualities they want in a person, but they don’t say anything about what they are like or what they bring to a relationship.”
6.“Lack of clear and effective communication. If you want it or don’t want it, make it very clear, without ambiguity. the accused situation, remind him that you are going to talk about something serious, then follow up with him until he gets it.”

7.“Treating someone like a server, bartender, or cashier like complete garbage is a huge red flag, and shows the type of person they really are.”
8.“People who think they have to cut down every other woman they see. It’s disgusting. No, Karen. I didn’t notice the top the woman was wearing until you pointed it out, but even now that I have it, it’s still not. the waste you keep spewing out of your mouth.”

9.“If I’m the only one who can start a text conversation, it tells me that I’m only there to boost my ego. For example, I have to say ‘good morning’ first. Otherwise, I’m met with loneliness, maybe for a few days, followed by a message passive-aggressive about me being ‘not interested.’ I’m in my 40s and I broke up with my first boyfriend in seventh grade because of this exact issue (calls, not texts.

10.“If she only has male friends. Claims other women ‘too much drama.’ Luck is always involved in drama and likes to gossip always talking about ‘haters’ and ‘fans.
11.“The silent treatment. It’s passive-aggressive, manipulative, whack bullshit.”
—u/Additional-Stay-4355
12.“Romanticizing or not being able to move past those exes, and refusing to stop messaging them because ‘They are really important to me.'”

13.“I recently visited Santorini. One evening, I had dinner at a famous place overlooking the island with a beautiful view of the water. I can’t count how many Insta girls dragged their dying boyfriends there and continue the cycle.through two dozen pose-at-me while complaining photo instructions Treating people in your life like unpaid props or crew just so you can look glamorous on social media is a major problem.
14.“When I think I put more effort into it than he does.”

15.“Girls who push you away and then expect to be chased. Big ick and most of the red flags are signals that will be expected to do everything in the relationship. No partnership there. Also, double standards. For example, it’s okay for women. to turn down he is a progressive person, but when it becomes down he, then he becomes insensitive or cruel that also reeks of manipulative behavior Finally, have a job and can go to some sort of degree career, but working in a retail job without prospects in the future will not eliminate.
