There are plenty of things women do that are unattractive to men, and
plenty of things men do that are unattractive to women. So, here are
the 7 most unattractive things women can do:
1. Gossiping
Yikes — please don’t. There’s rarely something less attractive than a
woman speaking poorly about other people. It makes others think about
what you could be saying to other people about them behind their backs.
Try to adhere to the timeless adage: If you don’t have anything nice to
say, don’t say anything at all. On the flip side, men love it when women
speak positively about other people. Seeing the best in others is one
of the most attractive qualities you can develop.
2. Assuming the worst or looking to get offended
Give people the benefit of the doubt. If they don’t straight-up call
you a derogatory name or let the air out of your tires, assume
they’re not trying to offend you. This is especially a problem today
where it seems like everyone find a way to get offended by anything and
everything. Just be cool.
3. Being confusing
Some women try to play hard to get or assume men should be able to
interpret their subtle body language like a book. Please stop.
Having to follow a trail of breadcrumbs to figure out what you’re
thinking is not cute; it’s tedious and irritating. Just tell us exactly
what you want or what you’re feeling.We love that– it’s efficient.
4. Being materialistic
Rest assured, this attribute is more rare than common. Pop culture
makes materialism seem extremely widespread (I’m looking at you,
Cosmopolitan), but women are generally pretty good about not being
materialistic.
That being said, try to be self-aware. Remember: Less is more. How
attached are you to your phone when you’re around other people? Do you
own an abnormal amount ofaccessories or beauty products? If your man
didn’t have a car/motorcycle/boat, would that affect your relationship?
To all the women out there who value relationships more than stuff, thank you.
5. Being overly critical
It is important to communicate to your man what you like and don’t
like about him or the relationship, but there is a line. If constructive
criticism turns into constant nagging, you’re pushing him away.
If you want to help him change something for you, talk about it and
then try to help him out in a positive way, without being overbearing.
Instead of focusing onnegatives, try focusing on some positives.

6. Being indecisive
Men love feedback. If you’re one of those amazing women that is
willing to speak your mind and voice your opinion, it’s much
appreciated.
If he asks you where you want to go to eat, please don’t say “I don’t
care.” At least give a few options to choose from instead of making him
decide.
Similarly, if a guy really likes you, but you take months to decide
if you like him back, that’s going to really disenchant him. If you ever
do decide you like him back, he’ll feel like you’re settling with him —
which doesn’t feel good.
Be forward and make decisions! We love it.
7. Being emotionally manipulative
If he loves you, don’t take advantage of it. Don’t purposefully cry
or make him feel guilty to get what you want. Flirting to get what you
want is less annoying, but still manipulative.
Being overly dramatic fits into this category as well. It’s easy to
spot, and … well, how many men do you know that watch “The Young and the
Restless”? Exactly.
Just be real with us.
Whew! You made it to the end. Congratulations. If you can manage to
eliminate these seven attributes from your life, it is much more likely
that you’re going to attract someone who has also eliminated them from
their life. The best way to find a man who doesn’t do these unattractive
things is to make sure you’re clean from them as well.
