#1 Fur coats
It's hard to believe that men still wear fur coats. Hip Hop celebrities can barely pull this look off. Don't try it at home. If you insist on wearing a fur coat when you pick up your date, don't be surprised when she slams the door in your face without saying a word.
#2 Saggy jeans
Women don't want to see your underwear or boxers. Saggy jeans are sloppy and played out. Get a belt.
#3 Ordering fruity beverages.
If you're a couple on a tropical island and you ordered a pina colada that's fine. Ordering a seabreeze while on a first date might raise some eyebrows. Perception is key. Ordering fruity drinks gives the impression that you are wimpy and not enough of a man. After all, sissy boys can't handle their liquor. Order a jack and coke and man up.
#4 Gawking at every woman on the street.
Yes, we know men are wired to do it. However, you don't have to do it every two blocks. Do this too often and your date will think you're a dog. Why bother dating a man if you or any other woman will never be enough for him? Women cut their losses as soon as they see this warning sign. If you want a woman to stick around, pull yourself together and get your libido under control.
#5 Being too friendly with the waitress.
Women don't mind you being nice to a waitress, but giving too much attention might give us the wrong idea, especially on the first date. Be friendly just don't over do it.
#6 Being rude to a waitress.
Okay, your steak is too salty. That is no reason to cuss out the waitress. She didn't cook it. Outlandish behavior like this will definitely turn a woman off. It also gives the impression that you have a short fuse. Keep your cool over little things.
#7 Acting like Mr. Know-It-All.
There is nothing worse than talking to a man who thinks he is the smartest person in the room. Women like smart men, but not know-it-alls who dominate the conversation with his vast so-called knowledge. Open your mind to let other opinions and theories flow.
#8 Being a big fan of a boy band.
It's okay to like music by a boy band. What is not okay is to be obsessed with them. For instance, A friend of mine met a guy a few years ago. They dated for a couple of weeks. He was nice and a pretty too. One night, She went to his apartment. He cut on the light and she was accosted with N Sync posters. The posters were all over his living room and hallway walls. Then, he had the nerve to take her on a tour of his place. When he opened the bedroom door N Sync posters were everywhere. That wasn't the worst of it. He had a poster of Joey Fatone, member of N Sync, taped on the ceiling above his bed. To make a long story short they broke up.
#9 Being inconsiderate.
No matter how independent women have become they still like it when men open the door for them. The one thing I always hear on bad date stories from my friends is how he wouldn't open the door for her. Women still like it when you bring them flowers. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars. You can get a cheap bouquet of flowers at Wal-Mart for $10.99. Women love the gesture. Be a gentleman. Say thank you and don't use foul language.
#10 Lying
A lot of guys in the world have made lying a second language and a sport. Women still hate it. If you don't want to see us anymore just say it. If you don't want to go to the opera because you want to hang out with the boys, just say it. You think women will get mad over the truth. It's nothing compared to how mad we'll get when we find out you are a consistent liar. Granted, some women put up with it for a while, but it gets old.
#11 Video game obsession.
There is nothing wrong with a grown man playing video games. Women play video games, too. However, it is different when it becomes an obsession. I had a friend who dated a guy who was video game obsessed. If that wasn't bad enough, his friends were video game obsessed. No matter what time of the day she would go over to her boyfriend's apartment him and his friends were playing video games. If there weren't a pack of gamers at the apartment he would be playing by himself. It got to the point that they couldn't go anywhere together because he was busy playing video games. After three months of this, she got fed-up and stopped seeing him. The real shock is that this clueless man couldn't understand why she broke up with him. She flat out told him it was because he became too obsessed with video games. He couldn't understand what she meant.
Don't let video games control you. It is okay as something different to do, but don't take it to far. Some women won't date guys who play video games. They get the impression that the guy is immature.
#12 Saying something stupid.
Considering the fact that I've seen this "don't" rule all over television I can't believe it is still a problem. Guys don't say anything stupid. Asking if a woman has PMS, asking what kind of cartoons do we like, and asking about a woman's sexual past are all examples of saying something stupid.
#13 Not kissing a woman enough.
Women like being kissed. We can't help it. We understand that men are not always big with the PDAs, but you need to kiss us at the appropriate time. Women like being kissed during a romantic evening at home and while having sex. Some of my male friends have told me they don't like kissing a woman too much because it's too personal. Well getting into a woman's pants is personal....., but that doesn't stop you from having sex, right?
#14 Jealousy
I am going to let the secret out. Sometimes women like it when men get jealous. The narrowing of your eyes and the possessive way you put your arm around us is just cute. Since, men don't always express how they feel about the woman in his life we have to latch on to the non-verbal things you say. This action says she's with me, I want you, and I am not sharing you.
However, we don't like it when jealousy goes overboard. The last thing a woman wants to see is a bar room brawl because her boyfriend didn't like the way some drunk guy was looking at her. Women hate it when you are overly jealous of their guy friends. I have a friend whose husband was so obsessively jealous about her that he got mad one time because she crossed her legs in public. He said, "Un-cross your legs! I don't want everyone to see what I got!" Chill, dude. Jealousy makes you look like an uncontrolled monster.
#15 Sloppy drunkenness
It is bad taste to get smashed on a date, especially a first date. What was supposed to be a lovely evening is now a babysitting job for your date. Do this and you definitely won't get a second date. Have a minimum of two drinks. If you can't hold your liquor, then drink water.
#16 Using dumb pick up lines.
Honestly guys, would you go out with a woman who said, "Roses are red, violets are blue. I'm really horny let's go and screw." No? Then, why do you expect women to go out with you when you say it? For the love of Pete, let go of the stinking pick up lines. They don't get you a date or a woman's phone number. However, they might work to get a drink or a slap in the face. If you like us, then approach us like you have some sense. Try this instead, "Hi, how are you? My name is (insert name). What's yours?"
#17 Asking for sex on the first introduction.
Women know men like sex, but let us get comfortable before you proposition us. Coming off as a horny toad is a REAL TURN OFF.
#18 Constantly talking about your ex.
This has been mentioned so many times on television and in love advice columns that it's hard to believe it is still an issue. Stop talking about your ex. Women don't want to hear you go on and on about your ex-girlfriend or ex-wife.You will talk yourself right out of something good.
#19 Dirty fingernails
Having dirty fingernails is a real turn off to women. Women don't want you rubbing your hands through their hair with those dirty things. We rather see a man get a manicure, than to see a man with dirty nasty fingernails. Too macho to get a manicure? Buy a nail brush, it only cost three dollars.
#20 Asking, "Why are you single?"
When I was in middle school, my teacher told me there was no such thing as a stupid question. Well, she was wrong. This question is so stupid and insulting that it is in a class by itself. Fellas, don't ask this, period. This question is so stupid that I'm not going to type anything else about it.
#21 Having an un-kept bathroom.
If you are inviting a woman over, clean your bathroom. Women don't expect to see your bathroom decked out Martha Stewart style, but we do expect it be clean. Examples of having a nasty bathroom are dirty towels in the floor, no toilet paper on the roll, stained toilet seat, toothpaste on the mirror, no hand soap, no hand towels, and a soap scum shower curtain.
#22 Hocking loogies and launching snot rockets.
What in the blue h#ll is wrong with men who do this? This is not attractive. This is nasty, gross, despicable, and stomach turning. Did I mention nasty? Bad enough, that you hock loogies, now you've come up with snot rockets. For the love of Ray J, Pete, God, and everything holy take a Claritin and use a tissue. D#mn!
#23 Man boobs
Ewww and double ewww. No woman wants to date a man with breasts, I'm sorry. When women see men with bigger breast than them it freaks and grosses them out. Most women don't mind men being overweight, but we draw the line at man boobs. Do you want your woman going to Victoria's Secret to buy you a bra? Or do you want her to buy something for herself that you will hopefully see? Man boobs are so grotesque that some women are willing to forgive men who've had plastic surgery to have them removed. Don't want surgery? Do some push-ups or some other type of chest exercises; just get rid of those things!
