OU’RE all dolled up for your date and hoping to impress your potential mate,
But there are a few things you might need to know.
A forum on Reddit set up to find out what men and women hate in a date threw up some surprising answers.
So if you need to put on you’re A game in the first flush of romance, pay attention.
These are genuine gripes from hardened daters.
1. “Girls who shave their eyebrows off...then draw them back on.”
One wag added to this string with: “I told my girlfriend she paints her eyebrows on too high. She seemed surprised.”
Bet he’s fun on a date.
2. “Hot Girl Syndrome.”
This sounds like a complaint about someone just being too attractive, but no.
The daters add: “When they have the I'm pretty, so I deserve things kind of attitude.
“Characterized by being incapable of simple tasks because everyone always does things for them.”
3. “Dirty fingernails” and “unkempt toenails.”
No surprise there but a real bug bear on the strand
One user ranted: “Just clip those f***ers a couple times a month.”
Long fingernails were also a hate with one ranting: "Oh man... and hearing those things tap away on the phone screen... gross "
4. “Using a metal fork on a nonstick pan.”
As left field as this is, it actually stirred up the most passionate discussion of all.
One user wrote: “This is just the most accurate response.”
Another added: “I'm a chef and this burns my grit. I catch my wife doing it all the time and then she wonders why her eggs are sticking.
“I wonder how much Teflon I've consumed in my life.”
6. “Duck Face.”
So the pout is out.
7. “Acting dumb. Like massively downplaying their own intelligence to instead act like they're ditzy. It's not cute.”
8. “Chewing loudly or with the mouth open.”
Another obvious one but users got particularly upset.
He wrote: “Chew with their mouth open. It's like nails digging into my skull.”
Another guy wrote: "My girlfriend chews with her mouth open. God I love her, but after dinner, I'm just disappointed."
8. “Go on their mobile phone every f***ing minute.”
Actually there were a lot more swearwords in this one, so he obviously feels pretty passionate about it.
9. “Touching my monitor with their fingers.”
Which we assume is not a euphemism.
10. “When they bash on other women to compliment me "you're not crazy like the other girls."
One girl added: "When they bash other men to compliment themselves. "I'm not like most guys I'm going to be good to you." Often followed by mocking my exes who I'm still friends with.
"Often occurs in men I'm not dating who insist they're better for me than my boyfriend is."
11. "Beards."
Some women love beards on their men but they don't please everyone.
One woman wrote: "When guys grow huge, bushy, food trapping beards they may think they're being hip but they mostly look homeless and many decades older."
12. “I absolutely cannot stand when women put themselves down constantly."
"And if it's a group of girls, it turns into a contest to see who can bash themselves the worst.”
13. “Smoking and s*** tattoos.”
Presumably both at the same time.
14. “Girls who reject all positive things I say about them.”
This user adds a long explanation but the short version is:
“’You look nice today’ – ‘no I don't I look ugly’
“Of course you'll feel that way with that f****** attitude. I am not fighting that uphill battle every day. You know how guys who lack confidence are really unattractive? Works for women too.”
“Don't stifle my affection. It makes me think you don't want it, so I slowly stop feeling it.”
15: "Leaving hair in the bathtub after a shower."
By the time you find out about this, though, it might be too late.
16. "Girls who squeal."
“They do that high pitched squeal when they see their friends. They sound like pigs being shanked with a hot knife.”
17. “Trying to be sexy.”
Don’t try too hard, guys.
This girl added: “I went on a date with a guy who half closed his eyes, swayed his head, and literally said "bow-chica-wat-wowwww" while pretending to click his fingers, when talking about sex.
“He didn't get a second date.”
