A vampire hastily hides in his dark lair when the sun is about to shine and Superman turns super scrawny at the site of the kryptonite — but big turn-offs do not only apply to fictional characters, but to real men as well. The biggest things that turn men off have been widely debated for years but here are the most common blunders that must be avoided by women unless they want their guys to run from them as far away as possible!
Don’t Do the Cheap Chat
If you’ve got nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. One of the things that turn men off is endless gossiping. Not only is talking trash about other people dull and impolite, it’s downright irritating as well. This only put your insecurities and flaws under the spotlight. Suppress the urge to talk bad about other people when in a date. Instead, show your man that you are a woman of substance by talking about things that truly matter.
Mind Your Manners
A girl without table manners is a turn-off for men and is about as appetizing as having left over noodle soup for dinner. So, mind your manners, dear. Remember simple rules such as don’t talk when your mouth is full, keep elbows off the table, never put on make-up while still at the dinner table and don’t play with your food. Men are paying for your meals so by all means, have fun! But not to the extent that you send chopped meat and utensils flying into midair. You run the risk of turning the butterflies in your guy’s stomach into a case of severe, abdominal pain.
Don’t Be Ex-Obsessed
A girl who is obsessed with her man’s ex-girl friends are definitely one of the biggest turn-offs. Leave those Jurassic occurrences behind and get on with the present. There is a reason why things didn’t work out with those girls, but this does not give you permission to grab that magnifying glass, put on a detective coat and act all investigative for a good amount of time. The past is past. If a guy is with you now, then that is the only thing that should matter. Leave it at that. Don’t waste your time nosing through your boy’s dirty laundry! Instead, focus on being the best girlfriend you can be.
Shine Subtly
Men love to be with women who are confident and outgoing, not outrageous and boisterous. There is a big difference between the two and the latter, is just a plain turn-off for men. If you’re the type whose laughs are more like the roaring sound of a motor engine echoing through every corner of the parking lot, then this here is for you. Men understand that women, more often than not, would want to be the center of the attention. That is part of the female prerogative. But being too loud is an absolute turn-off for men. It is always best to let your outstanding personality shine through subtly. Don’t try too hard or put yourself out there too much. An air of mystery and subtlety will send a man wanting for more.
Be Hygienic
This is probably the most basic thing every dating woman should know. But be reminded once more that bad hygiene is one of the biggest things that turn men off. Bad breath, bad odor, unkempt hair, dirty feet with uncut and unpolished nails, are major turn-offs and will send your man running to the opposite direction. So, stock up on those breath mints, deodorants, perfumes and visit your nail salon, pronto!
