Last week, VH1 counted down the top 100 things guys do to guarantee that THEY WON’T be dating or having sex. For the majority of the countdown, VH1 was pretty spot-on. I’m going to point a few of the ones that were on the mark and give my female perspective on what makes these “deal breakers.”
*Re-adjusting your privates/picking your butt
-Uh, eww. Men, this is just nasty. I’ve never understood why the need to do this is appropriate in public. I completely understand the need to adjust whatever is taking place in your pants, but do we really need to see it? No! You wouldn’t want to see us females doing that! We don’t need to see you doing it either! Take it to the restroom. You’ll relieve yourself, and you won’t gross us out. It’s a win-win.
*Names for a woman’s breasts
-This is soooooo disrespectful to the point where it’s really not even funny. I’m not sure if it’s just a man’s immaturity or his need to feel “manly” in front of his friends. Either way, if you even mention anything about my breasts on a first date, serious points are being deducted. There are definitely women out there who are blessed with certain assets on their body, but simple general compliments about her overall beauty will be sufficient enough.
*Bad table manners
-INSTANT TURNOFF. Chew with your mouth closed. Use a fork and knife for every piece of food that is on your main dinner plate. Don’t slurp your drink. DON’T BURP! Use a napkin. Keep it simple and you might just be guaranteed dessert.
*Grooming
- First, guys you need to keep your finger nails and toes in tip top shape. No one is suggesting a French manicure here, but every other week you should hit the salon for a simple soak and clear coat. Trust me, you won’t look soft, you’ll look like you actually care about your appearance. Secondly, you have to keep up with your hair. Bad facial hairs, dirty hair, too much hair on your body, are all things that will most certainly turn off a woman you’re interested in. A simple and clean shave should keep you happy. There’s no need for mutton chops, curly mustaches, and goatees. Just keep it simple. Wash your hair. That really should go without being said. WAX! Please! This will actually keep a woman around. Like getting your nails done, waxing will ensure you’re not attempting to be the next Wolverine. At the same time, a little bit of hair on the chest will make sure that manly sex appeal that will keep the ladies coming back for more.
If you make sure to not commit these 4 or any of the other 96 offenses, you are surely guaranteed a date and a little something afterward if all goes well!
