“Thinking us men should pay for everything on the first date.”

It’s safe to say that dating in 2024 is wild and has been for some time.

Although I met my boyfriend on a dating app, the concept still makes me shake my head sometimes.

This Redditthreadis filled with men sharing their turnoffs.

Here is what some had to say:

1.

“Withholding signs of interest, playing hard to get.

We’ll think you aren’t into us.”

He suddenly looked sad and defeated.

Two people hold hands across a table with drinks and a red rose in a vase between them

Then she started running her hands all over me as he took the money and handed us the food.

Before we pulled off, she gave him a huge smile.

I never went out with her again."

“Expecting me to put in all the effort.

Dating is a two-way street, and if you give me no effort, I’m moving on.”

Two people are at a table having a serious conversation in a casual setting. The woman has an attentive expression

“Mentioning exes or trauma dumping on a date.”

“Playing hard to get.

A person wearing a patterned shirt opens a restaurant bill booklet on a wooden table, revealing a receipt and payment card slot

Whether just shit-talking the gender or just shit-talking all the men in your life.

You’d probably think he’s the problem.”

“Playing hard to get.

Women typically flirt using methods that would work on women.

Women seem not to understand that men don’t respond to the same things as women.

So, when women play hard to get, men interpret that as rejection/disinterest and move on.”

Is she one of my closest friends on a first date?

I dont think so.

Is she respecting my boundaries?

“Being an hour late or not showing up.

I got stood up once.

She texted me the next day and blamed me for her not showing up.

I lost her number.”

“Them talking about themselves the entire time.

This happened to me last night.”

I promise it’s not the compliment you may think it is.
