There are a lot of things men get wrong about women. In turn, there are loads of misconceptions women have about men. It's an argument as old as time; it's where legends like "Men are from Mars and women are from Venus" were born.

In reality, both men and women tend to make assumptions about the opposite gender. According to a 2024 international survey by the dating app Tinder, this "assumptions epidemic" is ruining the dating vibe. For example, 65% of women think that men only want casual flings. In reality, only 29% of men really do.

However, women get a lot of things wrong, too. Things that they think attract men might actually be repelling them. At least that's what we learned from these two online threads where someone asked: "What's something women think impresses men but actually doesn't?" If you're currently a single lady, you might want to check some of these out!

A woman receiving a lip injection, illustrating cosmetic procedures women do to seem attractive that men find off-putting. Lip fillers are hideous. I've no idea why so many women willingly keep doing this to themselves.

    I admit I did this for years when I was still dating my now-ex. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was basically a "fawn" reaction to his emotional, verbal, and mental ábuse - for some reason I thought if I seemed helpless and cute, he wouldn't be so ábusive to me (ha ha, joke's on me, he still was.) I HATED myself even more than usual when I heard myself talking in that voice. It disgusted me and I felt like I was debasing myself. I can't imagine purposefully doing it in an attempt to attract someone, though - if you're talking/acting childlike and you ATTRACT someone that way, what does that imply about what they're attracted TO?

    I (M) had a friend (F), just friends who did this. We were in a mildly heated arguement over something dumb. She all of a sudden storms out of my house. I thought to myself, hmm okay? she must need time, ok. A couple mintues later she knocks on my door, i open it. She htg says "Why didnt you chase after me" Me, " i thought you needed you time" Her, " I was just being dramatic lol" Me, smh, "Well i thought you wanted you time, Im not a mind reader" Her, "haha you shouldve known, you know me", Me, "Nah, i just learned i dont know you as well as i thought i did. We are way too old for these middle school games" Her (kinda huffy), "Well i guess ill just go home then" Me, "Im not being dramatic, I am not chasing you, not like that, ever. Your little test failed. You do know men dont like being tested right?" I got the F U and it took ages for us to talk again, it was never the same. I always had in the back of my mind "I wonder if this is a test". Our friendship broke down after that.

    If either partner needs to do some sort of testing like that, either the tester is hopelessly insecure, or the relationship isn't worth spending further time on. The desire to do it signals the futility of trying.

    I remember being in my 20s and desperately wishing I was "better" at applying makeup. I wanted to look "pretty". But I have a lot of negative associations with makeup - my mom was born in 1944 and is of the generation/mindset that a woman MUST apply a FULL FACE of makeup EVERY DAY, even if she is literally not leaving the house (I wish I was being facetious.) She used to scream at me and slap me for NOT wearing makeup every day. That aside, it takes SO much time to apply properly (if you're doing a lot of makeup) and then later on your have to remove it/use special cleansers XD No thanks, too much work for me. I shall remain my hideous un-makeuped self XD

    A lot of women wear makeup for themselves. I remember reading an article of a young woman who was actively sui‍cidal many years ago. The highlight of her day was applying her makeup (and of course, she was amazing at it) because she needed a "weapon" to help her make it through the day, and for her it was makeup. It stuck with me.

    I do not know how to apply makeup. It never appealed to me (too much of a tomboy, I guess). When I was in my 20s, my BFF badgered me to let her put some on me and I finally gave in. When she finished, I looked in the mirror and asked if I could take it off now? She sighed and removed it. I haven’t worn it since and I’m 62. The men that I’ve been with have always said that they preferred no makeup because as my 1st husband commented, “kissing a woman who wears makeup is like putting your lips in a paint can”.

    I take that phrase to mean that, if you can’t handle anything but life with me being perfect nd worry-free, and will run far away and ghost me if any kind of problem arises—-which is simply a part of life, especially adult life—-then I don’t end to waste my time with you. I will be there for you when times are tough for you, and I expect no less from you. I am tired of wasting time helping someone I’m dating when their wheels fall off, then have them drop off the face of the earth when the moment comes where I need them to help me the most, with the excuse (if I ever find them after handling and solving my own problems all by myself) that they just couldn’t handle seeing me suffer. Well f**k, maybe I wouldn’t have been suffering and having such a hard time if you had stuck around to help me, a*****e.

    It's not being difficult. I would say that because I don't want a man who supports me only when I'm a happy Pollyanna. I have days when I'm depressed and unhappy and sometimes sick, too. If you think you can be there only for the good times and then slink off when things are bad for me and when I need you the most, think again. I'll support you through your bad times but I expect you to support me through my bad times, too. But if you can't handle my bad times, don't expect to hang around and think you deserve me in my better times. Got it? Get it? Good.

    It's sad to see so many women, like Kristi Noem's trowelled-on makeup in the picture above, and 'influencers' with hideous beauty filters, toothpick legs under hippo butts and protruding suction-cup lips. Is this the behavior of well-balanced people? Who decided ideal women should look this way, a circus? How can they expect anybody to respect or trust them when they look and act so fake? Also, take a hard look at that picture. If a man looked at you like that and followed you, wouldn't you call the police?

    A man and woman sitting at a table in a cozy setting, discussing things women do to seem attractive. Not eating when on a date, like if he sees you consuming food you’ll immediately become obese and he will be disgusted, so all you order is a side salad and then steal his fries.

    Just get the steak. Men tend to like women with a healthy appetite especially when it carries over to other activities.

    Lol ! I had s bestie like thst, we were out in a group with a guy she liked. She ordered a salad because “she wasn’t hungry” she was actually about to pass out, it annoyed me to no end. So she tried to get a slice of pizza off of me. Told her to order her own, she outed and still claimed she wasn’t all that hungry. Once we got home she tore through the fridge. . She was also a big girl when I first met her, but once she lost some little weight she would make fun of heavier women. Ticked me off!

    I do ask this directly. Assuming the guy could be lying, I just take my sweet time to know him, saying very clearly if I'm interested or not and that I'll only become intimate when I feel comfortable. I've found that being bold like this scares off the f**k boys, who don't want to waste time on dates or conversation.

    Rachel_Silver:

    I dated someone who did that. I think she believed that was how you got a man to spoil you. I also came to the conclusion that she had "traded up" to me from the last guy, because she would compare me to him a lot if she felt I was slacking.

    The new librarian at our school was having car trouble, so I took her to and from our school for a week or so. Her car got fixed and when I let her off for the last time she made it very clear that she thought I had done her this favor for a chance to hit on her because that's just what guys are like. (I hadn't tried to hit on her at all. I hadn't even thought about it.) I was irked by her presumption, but it underlined my lack of interest (We had nothing in common). At the end of the school year she had for some unknown reason changed her mind about me as a romantic/erotic prospect. She said to me quite suggestively "I understand there's a n**e beach near here, but I don't know where it is. Do you suppose you might help me get there?" I said sure, took out a piece of paper, and drew her a detailed map. The look on her face was priceless.

    Young woman in a blue crop top posing thoughtfully against a textured wall, reflecting on things men can’t stand. There’s a difference between being an independent individual vs simply not taking others into account. I’m glad you’re your own person, absolutely! I don’t want to be responsible for somebody’s sense of self. But, if there’s no room for others in your narrative it’s probably going to be a lonely one.

    You missed the point entirely. OP isn't saying that being ALONE is lonely. OP is saying that if you're a narcissist and you don't take other people into account because there's only room for you in your own narrative, your existence will be a lonely one. You really, really whooshed on this one - OP doesn't sound like a "sad bloke" in "mummies basement" who "can't get a girl" (good lord, you're judgmental and nasty sometimes) - OP sounds like someone who was raised by a narcissist and knows the type.

    The cost of designer clothes and accessories is ridiculous. Who cares how much you paid for something. I would rather get 4 dresses off Temu for $100 than pay $100 for one item. Fashions change so fast. At the end of your life, it all means absolutely nothing.

    Do you know exactly what you're funding when you fund fast fashion? 'Luxury' items have their foibles, certainly, but none as bad as fast fashion. And, funnily enough, when people buy designer items, they're not actually asking what you think of the price of the items *you aren't* paying for. If I'm hitting you up for my designer stuff, feel free to care how much it is. If not, I don't need your opinion on it.

    I couldn't give a rat's behind about what a man (or another woman, frankly) thinks about my bags if it's negative (I can only speak of bags -- I don't do designer clothes). I love meeting similar minds when it comes to designer handbag shopping because it's niche, but I buy them for me, and not for anybody else. If I was struggling to keep a roof over my head, then yes, judge me on misplaced priorities. Otherwise, MYOB. I'm not buying them *at* you, and I'm not buying them to pretend I'm rich. I'm buying them because I like them. I'm sure lots of other people buy stuff because they like it, too. Edit: Oh, of course. I forgot how most people see 'designer' and assume someone's a selfish, vain snob, etc. Sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I have ZERO use for divas of any sort, and even less use for royals. Divas who expect to be treated like royalty (whether they are or not) are as useful as a Kardashian in the Amazon Rainforest, i.e., a complete and utter liability.

    Everything excessive so it shows. Make-up, cosmetic stuff, especially the ugly lip thing they do. Excessively high heels, small purses. I like my women sort of natural and not fake. I must recognize her without make-up, in jeans and t-shirt as well.

    I have a tardis tiny purse. It looks like it would only fit keys and lipstick, but the reality is that it has keys, travel card, card wallet, phone, vape and maybe some mascara and a sample perfume. People always amused.

    The handbags where you can fit... maybe... some glasses in them if you're lucky? I tried small handbags for a while (not that small, admittedly) because the heavy totes I typically carry were giving my shoulder grief -- possibly due to me overloading them, but shh -- and I just can't, as much as I try.

    I think this is actually a good thing and stops both sides wasting their time. There has to be something about the person themselves, to interest me, but also something about what they are looking for, so I don't bother anyone who wouldn't want to be with me. Though I hasten to add it was a long time ago I was single and thought about such things.

Also, I think what is far worse that that, or even saying what they don't want or bitcoin about how bad men are, are the women that use dating apps to build their social media, or try to get you to join their OF. They can right and truly fück themselves. And not on camera.

    I've found it's pretty easy to tell the difference between a Traveler and someone who is just collecting stamps in their passport. Did you really visit 10 different countries this year, or did you go to 10 different airports, stopping just long enough at each destination to get your picture taken in front of a famous landmark?

    There are jobs that require travel. I had a few non airline related when I was single. But it was nothing to brag about because I was always working. I once paid a cab driver to drive me around to the sites in Athens for a few hours before my departure because I saw nothing the whole time I was there. I must have spent at least 6 weeks of my life in Hawaii. Outside of dining out, I didn’t really see Hawaii until I went on vacation with my husband years later.

    Pretending to be dumb.

    2ManyMonitors:

    I remember watching my sister, who is extremely intelligent, play dumb for a boy when she was 14 or 15 and I was shocked. He said some dumb fact about Europe, and she said some ditzy comment like, "So Europe is a continent, hehe?" I don't know why it bothered me so much in the moment, but I laughed at her and called her out, something to the effect of, "Aren't you in the Geography club and spent last summer in Rome!?"

    We all try different approaches when we're figuring out how to talk to the opposite sex, and she definitely grew up to be an assertive woman who leads with her intelligence.

    As a woman I would say acting super jealous or trying to test him with some drama to check if he "cares enough" or is "boyfriend/hubby material".

    The problem with being motivated purely by money is that no amount of money will ever be enough. The more money somebody has, the more expensive their lifestyle becomes with big houses, new cars, designer clothes, exotic holidays, children in private school etc then they have to keep working themselves to death in order keep themselves in the lifestyle they have become accustomed to. Obviously, money is important, and you can't do much without it, but if chasing money is your main motivation in life, then you're probably going to end up alone.

    When they say they can’t get along with other women. I always think man there’s no way you’re a stable, honest and interesting person. If you can’t maintain friendships with your own gender I know a few women who think it’s a flex when talking to guys but I just don’t think it’s impressive at all.

    I've always been more comfortable with men than with women. And yes, a lot of women like and cause drama. Sorry to say, but they do. I've worked in places that have had both men and women as managers and bosses, and by far, men are much better because they leave all the emotional s**t at home. I've never had to deal with their child care problems, little Timmie punching his sister, PMS, or anything else when a man has been a manager. Women, unless they've changed a great deal in the last 25 years, always bring their home problems into the office. Aside from that, I know virtually no other women who don't have kids, so I lack something in common with all of them, especially when every other word out of their mouths is either 'baby' or 'mother', both subjects which bore the hell out of me.

    I've met an unfortunate number of women over the years who say the same as you about other women. Without exception they turned out to be the ones who were unpleasant and almost impossible to get along with. They caused the problems with their own behaviour & now if I meet a woman who says that, as I have again recently, I take that as a major red flag. This one, in spite of me being very gracious to her, can say the most cutting vicious things without cause.

    I'm ADHD, unintentionally loud, and have a big personality. I am a lot and I'm not for everyone. I'd much rather people know that from the get go. I try not to be obnoxious, but I also don't change who I am to make other people happy..

    Im sure it’s not gender exclusive but I can’t stand a woman who really brags herself up, acts like she’s a take charge type “alpha” or something then literally approaches every situation with what seems like 2 brain cells.

    I have to admit -- and I know that this isn't the case for everyone -- that this would annoy me. I'd either say/indicate straight up that I'm not interested (eg: in watching your Star Wars original VHS/DVD collection; I'd rather watch paint dry, thanks. I'll listen to you talk about it, but don't make me watch it), or be interested because I am interested (eg: game nerd? Come at me. Even if I suck at the game; I often like to watch. People genuinely ask me if I'm bored; no! I enjoy watching people play a game better than I can 😆. Outside of my niches, I'm not very good, as much as I enjoy gaming). Make it clear from the start where you stand -- you don't want to hear about it at all, you're willing to listen but not partake, etc. Makes the lives of both parties so much easier.

    I have never been attracted to fro the guys who try to act cool by acting totally uninterested in anything. They weren’t interested in studying in school, participating in school or other activities, apparently not even interested in their girlfriends—-unless, of course another guy was interested in her—-and later in life seemingly uninterested in their jobs and lives. That’s not being cool, that’s being boring as f**k. It’s not attractive, it doesn’t give you an air of mystery, and it definitely does not make you look cool. You just look empty. I always gave guys like that a wide berth because to me, their behavior is just off putting and dull. I would rather spend my time with people who are interesting and interested—-not just in me but in the world around them, with the sharing of ideas, with figuring life itself out. To me, that’s what’s the most attractive about anyone.

    "Not the greatest relationship" is NOT the same as having been a****d both verbally and physically for years to the point of having had childhood depression and s******l thoughts.

    “"Not the greatest relationship" is NOT the same as having been a****d both verbally and physically for years to the point of having had childhood depression”: ❓Nowhere in the comment does it say that it is. Likewise, OP doesn’t even comment about whether someone can’t appreciate the trauma. You’re reading things into it that simply aren’t there. All it says is that not every word out of your mouth about your family needn’t be negative because it isn’t a fun time being made to feel like a sounding board or therapist whenever you see the person.

    I've seen some interviews with women who, when asked to rate themselves, automatically say they are a 10. And they think that answer will impress men, because, in their words, 'men want confident women.'

    Nope. Being *blatantly* deluded isn't impressive or a sign of confidence. Men want a woman who understands reality.

    Unfortunately, this is a much more nuanced problem than asking that women just be straightforward. We've been conditioned to be "nice," especially with men. But it's also a safety issue for us. A lot of men (and I don't mean that to mean "most" or "all", just a lot) do not react well to being told "no" by a woman. Until we know you're safe for us to say "no" to, we'll probably just keep being more vague than not.

    I doubt it is in this instance, but just putting it out there... this can be a cultural thing. For example, in Japan, it's rude to straight out say no. You might say "chotto..." (in this instance, it's a softener to no, kind of like how English speakers might use "umm, let me check..." or "hmm"... if someone asks to something to which you don't want to go.) You wouldn't go and flat-out say "iie" ('no', pronounced like the "Ee" in Eeyore and then "eh") because that's rude. Random 101 Japanese lesson for everyone. 😆

    Obligatory "I'm not a man, but..." Intellectual level would surely be a consideration for a partner (as opposed to an orifice). I don't even want to imagine how bored I would get with someone who differed greatly to me in levels of intelligence. I'm not a snob. I don't care if you don't have a job, or no formal education -- that isn't what I refer to when I say 'intelligence' -- but if you actively show no interest in learning more in life or I can't have a conversation with you beyond the basics, that's where I begin to draw the line.

    100%. I want an equal, someone who can both match me and challenge me. My brain is my greatest asset. Show me we can still do more to be better. We don't have to try to cure cancer, but there's a whole universe to learn about, and that has to be more interesting than whatever nonsense the Kardashians are up to this week.

    Stating your positive attributes, but listing things women find desirable in men, i.e. good job, independent, earns lots of money etc. Some guys will appreciate this but most guys would prefer someone trustworthy, loyal, respectable, who won't nag them and likes frequent intimacy - with women like this becoming exceedingly rare.




    Separately, telling a guy he is stable and secure with all your past partners not being that way. It doesn't impress us and lets us know you're settling and aren't that attracted, that we are only a stable wallet.

    Rubbish. You sound like borderline Incel. I don't think may men would really be happy with a submissive sëx slavë.

    I don't think that women who are "trustworthy, loyal, respectable, who won't nag them and likes frequent intimacy" are becoming increasingly rare. They're just avoiding the OP.

    Who describesthemselvesas "loyal" or "dependable"? I mean, compared to who? Maybe, just hear me out, maybe these are women looking for a grown up life partner as opposed to someone who is actually looking for a long term escort but is hoping to avoid the invoice.

    "likes frequent intimacy?" Guess as an Ace I'm doomed to be single forever.

    Sounds like you want a dog, not a GF.

    Above-average zip-lining skills.

    Well, significantly low zip-lining skills can shorten a relationship.

    The only zip-lining that interests me is the kind that makes a coat multi-seasonal.

    Being strong and independent. In the sense of being adult. Not the feminist meaning.

    It doesn’t impress me if you say „I work and take care of myself“ yet a lot of women think it is special.

    Oh no it is absolutely not. Feminism is not about equality, not anymore. I'm all for equality but I don't see many feminists out there fighting for the right to be forcibly signed up for the draft or any of the other negative aspects of equality. Feminism is about having your cake and eating it too.

    It certainly would impress me. Actually, "impress" is the wrong word, it's a basic starting point in any relationship, if you're not strong and independent it implies weak and clingy. No thank you.

    Being able to be independent in the expected way an adult is is a point of pride for me. When I was drinking, I wasn't capable of being an adult. I couldn't hold down a job, much less take care of basic household stuff. For me, being a responsible adult is as much a privilege as it is a responsibility.

    “I can do anything a man can do”. So can all men, but I don’t want a man, I want a lady.

    I'm on my own. Always have been. I HAVE to be able to do anything a man can do, just to survive. I guess in the old days I should have jumped on the bandwagon and just married the first guy that asked me, just to be the traditional woman. Well, sorry to be so unaccommodating. That's just my nature. I'm comfortable with it. It appears a lot of other people aren't but why should I change for them?

    Any woman who says “I can do anything a man can do” is setting the bar rather low.
