35 Women Reveal The Most Absurd Dealbreakers That Ruined Relationships, Leaving Men Totally Clueless
Sherlock Holmes, brilliantly portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, says in the very first episode of the Sherlock TV series: "You think. It's annoying." Well, the great detective had his quirks, which, ultimately, only his closest friend could actually tolerate - but in real life, friendships and relationships sometimes end for truly childish reasons.
So, let me ask you - are you ready for today's collection of the weirdest, funniest, and sometimes truly eye-opening reasons why women actually cut off men? Even if you're not, you're welcome anyway - it's really interesting, just believe me!

He told me he didn’t like my hair, I didn’t ask for his opinion
It all started with a video on the TikTok account @j.paigee_, who once asked netizens: "What was your most childish reason to cut off a man?" Well, the overwhelming number of comments that poured in included some completely humorous and frivolous ones, as well as some quite revealing ones that many men should really pay attention to.
In fact, even if you've been in a relationship for a long time or married for many years, this doesn't mean you can relax and ignore everything. Quite the opposite, in fact - life can throw us surprises at any stage.

He said “damn u got your ownn apartment ok big money” blocked him immediately
Apatheist Account2 2 months ago
Same "big money" as the ice cream? Was he dating both at the same time? Or is this just a dumb replacement for "money bags"?

He peed in the garden instead of going to the toilet
Michael Largey 2 months ago (edited)
Sound like someone who should be kept strictly outside at all times.
If we consider the various red flags for women in the dating stage, here, when potential partners are just getting to know each other and making initial judgments about each other, the main reasons that can turn the woman off can be insufficient emotional engagement, being a little too private, or expecting the lady to "do all the work."
Often, the most problematic things are well-disguised on the first date and only become apparent over time. "Red flags are often obvious - he's verbally a**sive or physically aggressive - but it's the more subtle ones we miss," this dedicated article at Psychology Today claims.
By the way, we also have a collection of similar subtle red flags while dating, so please take a look at it as well.

He was laughing at my mothers wig 😭
#9
Kept saying lol in every text like literally every sentence was like “hi lol” or I’m “driving lol “ “I’m having Burger King lol” I’m like BYEEEE “lol” 😂
It's a completely different story when a woman leaves a relationship with a man she actually loves and has been with for quite some time. For example, this article on Marriage.com lists among the main reasons that the man may have lost interest in the woman, allegations of cheating, and that "both could have grown out of love."
In total, 17 different possible reasons are listed there, and for each, there are useful and reasonable recommendations on how to cope.
But these, you must admit, are more complex issues, rooted in long-term relationships, profound differences in mentality, and problems with living together. Here, in our selection today, we're more likely to hear stories of how literally one careless action or word cost the man the entire probable relationship.

He kept leaving my toilet seat up, even after I asked him to put it back down
ॐBoyGanesh 2 months ago
That’s just unhygienic. We’re a household of three guys & we put our toilet lid down when done. You know, to minimize particle disbursement. This is not a childish nor is it a cringe reason for bailing.
#11
he had a weird hatred for beyoncé like he constantly brought it up
Whether it's a bad joke or poor personal hygiene (yes, sometimes this happens even on a first date), offensive behavior, or exposing yourself to be too stingy (even in small ways), as we can see, literally anything can be the reason for the end of a relationship that hasn't even started yet.
But even if you behave impeccably, are a true model of elegance, and are ready to throw money around, this is far from a guarantee that the date won't be your last. After all, as the wise old saying goes, you can't command your heart! That's life, and you just have to accept it.

He told me he’s a rapper at 41 😃

I told him I made avocado toast, he asked me what’s an avocado 😭😭
Michael Largey 2 months ago
Avocado - that's something you stop putting on toast so you can afford a house down payment, right?
Be that as it may, we sincerely believe that this collection of opinions and stories can be both informative and entertaining reading for people of all genders. Ultimately, you can simply sympathize with some hapless dates, and, who knows, maybe add your own similar story in the comments below…

He didn’t dress up for the first date and called me bougie for wanting him to open my doors

I told him not to call me after 10pm. He called me at 9:56. I answered and hung up on him at 10pm and blocked him
Jaya 2 months ago
So he did exactly what she asked. He called before 10, which is what OP wanted. She is playing stupid games. I you don't want someone to call you at 5 before 10, then say THAT. And it's totally fine to say "It's almost 10, so I only have 3 minutes to talk and then I'm gonna have to hang up", but to block him because YOU can't communicate clearly, is stupid.

I'm female and I'm not sure i understand this one, if there was context to the effect of I don't want to be on the phone after 10pm or I am busy from 10pm then that makes sense but if it was simply "Don't call after 10pm" then calling at 5 to is okay to me?
Earonn - 2 months ago
Yes, if it's something very quick "Sorry for calling so close to 10pm, just wanted to ask..." and that's it. Just think of a customer calling you 5 minutes before your workday ends, and it might become a bit more clear.

He refused to respect her boundary by manipulating the rule in order to break it. It’s no different than the āssholes who show up at restaurants 5 minutes before closing & expect to get pristine service for an hour or two. OP didn’t want to be on the phone after 10:00. He tried to force her being on it by calling minutes before.

Why did she answer the phone in the first place? I think they were both playing games here, testing each other’s boundaries in a childish way.

One thing I will say this is definitely revealing how men don't know how to respect boundaries
Lee Gilliland 2 months ago
Oh, they respect them, he had a whole 6 miniutes.

No, he intentionally called minutes before the time she said was too late for her. He tested her boundary and she showed him where it was. Too many Men expect to just tap dance all over women's requested boundaries and rules. She said not after 10:00 he could have just waited to call her instead of calling her literally minutes before 10:00.

I cooked two pieces of toast earlier. The woman in my life came in and said "Oooh, I could have a piece of toast", so I offered her one of mine. Isn't that how relationships work?

he woke up at 6am and ate noodles with a can soda. it was just too much for me

He didn’t drink water. If you don’t care about yourself you’ll never truly care for me.. 😭😭
Paul C 2 months ago
That just reminded me. I had an operation about 30 years ago, as I was coming round from the anaesthetic, a nurse asked me if I'd like some water. I kid you not, without thinking and less than 5 seconds into consciousness I replied "I'm thirsty, not dirty. Can I have a beer?" She creased up laughing. Apparently most people aren't fully compos mentis for some time after coming out from being under.

I hated his cologne. I blocked him on everything and forgot one place. He asked me if I blocked him so I blocked him there too 💀
Michael Largey 2 months ago
How about buying him some cologne you like? Or just asking him to switch.
#25
I don't know if it's childish but he laughed at a Bible verse I posted, like ??

Told me he was the head chef at his restaurant.. Buffalo Wild Wings was the restaurant

He asked me to go to the movies. I bought the tickets on my phone. They were $28 but he only sent me $20. My ex would’ve sent me $100

Sounds more like a you problem than a him problem. If you don't know what you want, it's not the fault of what you have.

He didn’t wanna cut grass. HIS OWN GRASS. He was gone pay somebody to do it. Baby, I’m from the country, that’s an automatic no no.

Baby, you're not in the country anymore. Don't expect to see people milking cows in the morning, either.

He wore cartoon shirts like hey Arnold shirts
What do you think ?
ॐBoyGanesh 2 months ago
Most are childish & cringe, but a fair few are reasonable personal preferences & a couple showed an astute recognition of red flags.
Binky Melnik 2 months ago
But they’re not women. Not one poster here sounds as if she’s out of high school yet. Most sound only just post-pubescent. Women have REAL concerns, like does he have a home, a job, aspirations, things like that.

I think it’s some weird attempt to feel that they have value, as they can’t find it elsewhere. So they believe they need to be validated by having men that pay for everything and pull out their chair for them. It’s sad, and they need to find themselves more before they’re ready for anything meaningful (if the world we live in gives them any chance of that). As with men, ‘flexing’ is just a sign of deep rooted insecurity. *Very* deep rooted, at times.

I dumped one not long after he totally disrespected his mother in front of me, while wanting a gf that would mother him with benefits. He has her now. Notably his best friend who he was NEVER attracted to until 5 seconds after our break up.
Roxy222uk 2 months ago (edited)
Some people missed the brief, which was petty and childish reasons the posters had finished with somebody (I don’t like the term ‘dumped’, it’s deliberately brutal as if the intention was to deliberately hurt someone). NO ONE owes it to anyone go out with them. They do not have to have a good reason, they don’t have to justify themselves, their time and their body is their own. If someone does something that doesn’t work for the other person then they are perfectly entitled to bring the relationship to an end. If there is proper potential in a relationship then the they will cope with things like them not knowing what an avocado is or not drinking water. But if that’s the last straw for them, then the potential never was there.
