1. When They Act Differently With Their Friends

Image source FreepikA girl is going to be put off if the guy swaps his personality when he's with his pals, compared to when he's with you.  This shows he's either got something to prove or, worse case scenario, something to hide!  If someone can't be themselves at all times, the lady is going to be back on Tinder!

2. Lack Manners - they cost nothing!

Image source BBCIt's true that women are more self-sufficient and independent than they were years ago but that doesn't mean they want the man to open the door and walk through first, allowing it to possibly slam in their face.  Females appreciate good manners like when he checks his date has put the key in the door and let herself in at home, safe and sound, before he drives off.

3. Dressing Too Casually - it's embarrassing!

Women aren't saying men should be suited and booted at all times but being seen in public with a wrinkled shirt and old trackies or shorts in the winter, is not going to cut it in the relationship stakes.  He needs to take pride in himself and be smart casual or similar, to prove he's not just damn lazy!

4. Gym Crazy - too into themselves

Image source ViceWhen a guy sorts his social calendar and his dates around his gym routine and he refuses to budge, then the girl is on a hiding to nowhere.  He obviously puts himself first and will continue to do so and he's also probably as vain as a diva.  If he can't get his priorities right, there's going to be no females queuing up for him.

5. Poor Grammar - sign of a low intellect?

 Image source HuffPost UKIf he can't differentiate between 'there' and 'their', abbreviates words which shouldn't be shortened and his general intellect leaves much to be desired, then he's not selling himself well to the opposite sex.  He doesn't have to have a some great IQ but being a good conversationalist and knowing what's going on in the world, news wise, will get him more positive attention.

6.  Lack Of Ambition - as slow as a sloth

Image source Preparing To LoveA man having ambition will make a lady sit up and take notice.  Getting home from work, changing into his pyjamas and playing on his X Box for hours on end, won't cut the cloth in attracting a female.  When he can't even be bothered to reach over for the remote control to change the channel on the telly, he needs to give himself a reality check.

7. When They Don't Clear Up After Themselves - leaving it to the fairy godmother 

Image source Alpine MaidsMen leaving clothing where it doesn’t belong such as on the banister, or stacking dirty dishes in the sink, are very annoying traits to most women.  Being tidier shows respect and wanting to please the other person so Mr. Untidy needs to change his ways if he's looking to initiate a relationship.

8. Asking The Same Questions Again And Again - and again!

Image source Capital NewsIt's usually something trivial like ' are you hungry?' or 'are you ok?' that the guy asks the girl, over and over again.  It loses its sincerity after the 4th time of asking and then becomes increasingly unbearable.  He's speaking for the sake of it or he hasn't be listening to her responses first time round.

9. Poor Budgeting - running out of funds a week after pay day

 Image source CrushpixelWhen a woman starts dating a guy, she will look for signs that he's a good catch for the present and the future.  If he acts irresponsibly, throwing all his wages away on alcohol, clothes and socialising, when there's still 3 weeks left until his next pay cheque, she will see him as an unreliable boyfriend and definitely not on her 'yes' tick list.

10. Over-Grooming - takes for ever to get ready

Image source Real StyleThere's a saying that a woman should never date a guy who takes longer than her to get ready and whose bathroom cabinet is bulging with beauty products.  He's showing he places more importance on himself, with everyone else behind him.  He'll probably get worse with age so no future for them.

11. Huge Egos - talks so much he starts boring himself!

Image source LoveDevani.comOn a date with a woman, the man asks her about herself and her hobbies.  She starts to think he might be boyfriend material.   When she questions him about himself, he's still going on 2 hours later and she's stifling the yawns.  She changes her mind and would prefer to stay single if this is what she has to suffer.

12. He Plays Down Her Menstrual Cramps - she should be used to them by now

Image source John Hopkins MedicineIf the woman cancels a date as she's struggling with her monthly period pains, the man should be sympathetic and text her later because he's a kind, considerate bloke.  If her 4 weekly cramps interfere with his plans and he tells her so, he should be discarded like a bag of rubbish.

13. No Sense Of Humour - that's not funny

Image source Her NormHumour is a powerful tool for a male and it can be quite a turn on for a woman.  It will make her feel more relaxed and the date will have been a hit!  She'll be kissing him goodnight and counting how many sleeps 'till she next sees him.  If his humour has gone missing, with no sign of return, he'll be back sitting on the singles' step.

14. He Gets Jealous - always questioning her

Image source A Conscious RethinkAs much as a woman wants to feel loved and cared for, she doesn't want the guy to question her every move.  It's usually a sign of his own insecurities and they can then manifest themselves into her issues.  She should give him up there and then as there is no future for them.

15. Don't Groom - sprouting everywhere!

Image source AllureWhen his nose and ear hairs are taking up her attention when he's attempting to be romantic, it's not good.  As she runs her hands over his back and her fingers get caught in a mound of hair, that's not great either.  Then she comes to her senses that it's putting her off him so she's off.

16. Spitting In The Street - it's stomach churning

Image source BBCCan you imagine a woman walking along the road, hand in hand with her new man and he does the unthinkable - he clears his throat and spits on the pavement.  It's disgusting and foul and down right off-putting.  Any female who could survive this must have a cast iron stomach.

17. Incessant Flirting - too much of a bad thing

Image source MediumFlirting with the opposite sex is quite a natural thing and most of the time it is a harmless bit of fun.  If a man flirts with every female he sees, when he's out with his gal, it becomes a pain.  If he doesn't stop because he doesn't want to, the girl will wave bye bye and leave him to it.

19. No Basic Life Skills - leaves it to the woman

Image source Crosswalk.comIf the guy doesn't know, refuses to learn and/or won't do those basic everyday life chores, like cleaning, cooking, doing the laundry and being financially responsible, he is going to struggle to keep his woman.  She is his equal partner and not his mother so he needs to get real.

20. Aggressive Driving - makes her feel distrusting of him

Image source USA Today

When the man picks up his date in his 'baby' and drives in an aggressive fashion, besides being unsafe and unnecessary, he will be giving off vibes that he's cocky and overly macho.  A girl likes to feel safe with her guy and him driving like an idiot will put her off bg time.

21. Talking About His Exes - bragging of his conquests

Image source GlamourMeeting a new prospective partner is an exciting time and they both want to know all about the other to check their compatibility.  The subject of exes may be discussed but when the man goes into great detail about his, slagging them off and yet bragging how much HE meant to them, it's time to make an excuse to leave and never cross his path again!

22. Bragging About Alcohol Intake

Image source MetroWhatever would possess a guy to discuss how much alcohol he can consume before he passes out?  It's not a quality that would endear him to a female.  Bragging that he never pukes up after a skin-full isn't going to make her view him in a good light.  If he thinks it is, then he had better carry on buying meals for one.

23. Tells Women What Women Like!

Image source LatinamericanpostThere is nothing worse than a man thinking he knows all about women, how they feel, what they like and how the want to be treated.  The problem is that what he does think is almost the opposite of the truth.  That's why he's unsuccessful with the ladies and still does not realise!

24. Won't Make A Decision - too indecisive

Image source G BennettIt's good to have an equal partnership or work out who should organise or deal with certain issues.  If there is one thing that will annoy the hell out of a woman is if she is left to make all the decisions, probably because he can't be bothered or he thinks she would prefer it.  He needs to get real!

25. Talks About Sex - all the time

Image source Evan Marc KatzHow can any man think it's romantic and sexy to talk abut sex and make inuendo comments all the time?  He's not 15 any more and needs to grow up if he wants to hold down a relationship. A bit of banter and suggestive chat is acceptable but that's where it should be left - he needs telling.

26. Overdoing The Aftershave - cough, cough!

Image source Lock and KeyThe gentle scent of 'Chanel Allure' might just make a woman fancy a guy that bit more.  If he's overdone the aftershave and has been spraying here, there and everywhere, to make himself a babe magnet, then he's sadly mistaken and needs to be put right about 'more is less'.

27. Agreeing With Everything She Says - oh yes he does!

Image source Body Language CentralIn what world is it ok to have no opinion of your own and to let the woman in the relationship decide everything.  When she does, he agrees 100% each time.  Whilst women (if they admit to it) always like to think of themselves as being right, they still need a bit of input.  If not, it's showing a weakness and maybe laziness of the man to bear in mind if there was ever going to be a future together for them.

28. Being Better Than Her At Everything - but he's not!

Image source Daily MailTrying to prove he's better than her at the things she excels at, such as her interests and hobbies, is childish.  What is he trying to prove and is he wanting to undermine her?  If that is so, then these are red warning lights that she needs to heed and escape from as soon as possible.

29. Bombarding Her With Text - and emojis!

Image source CosmopolitanCommunication is key in a relationship.  Sending a few texts to each other every day is a good sign you're getting on.  If he takes it up 14 levels and messages her every hour, on the hour and each text is followed by loads of immature emojis, she'll end up blocking his number and deleting his existence.

30. Selfish In The Bedroom - enough said

Image source Daily ExpressWithout going into too much detail, as long as he is satisfied in the bedroom, he thinks the two of them have chemistry.  If he thinks foreplay is a warm up on the pitch before the footie match starts, then she needs to ditch him with immediate effect and find herself someone more caring.
