It’s a NO NO NO!!!!!! Things that most women find unattractive about men: Men with Big Egos Girls don’t like guys with big egos, Men licking ice-cream cones Not only does it look wrong for a guy to lick an ice-cream cone in public, but it is also a turn off towards girls. Buy her an ice-cream and let her have the time of her life, and you rather have a soda. “Without music, life would be a mistake.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
Cheap pick-up lines No girl wants to hook up with a guy who says, “Girl you must be tired, you’ve being running through my mind all day”. Yes, you can be cheesy but not too cheesy. Pick-Up Lines can be cute and charming but clichés and Facebook
quotes aren’t. Men who play games If you drag your feet trying to get her, you will end up being friend zoned. If you want to win her, be straight forward with her. Women are very patient people, but they so hate to wait. Men who wear short pants on a date It is disrespectful and it shows no care from your side. It reflects badly on yourself. Men with long hair She wants the mirror to herself. Its like you are competing with the girl. Men with big Ass Its not on, but know how to dress according to your body
