10 Things Women Dont Like About Men

85

By lesterd2009

Everyone knows that a woman's brain works completely different to a man's brain, we think different when it comes to relationships or love.

Have you ever heard someone say? "All men are alike" , yet I bet you have, I heard that saying so many times that I thought it must be true then, because I would hear it from my mom, aunt, female friends, and just any women.

But then I saw a clear connection between that saying and the women that said it, most of the women I heard say "All men are alike" were because they had bad experiences with men in the past. Most women that said that around me were because they were cheated, abuse or other reasons that made them not trust men or having the misconception that all men are the alike.

Well how do we really know if all men are alike? How about the most commonly hated things a women don't like about men, and make your own conclusions after you read them.

For Men: Read each one carefully and see if you have done any of them

For Women: See if you have come to the conclusion that all men are alike because of this 10 things.

1. Feelings

Women in general like to talk, they are socially open towards others, they make friends easily and express their feelings more often. Men are the complete opposite, a men expressing their feelings may be interpret by others ( men in general) as a sign of weakness, and in conclusion men dont like to talk about feelings with women, and some women do not understand why this is.

2. Relationship

Women hate it when men dont talk about the status of a relationship, because women like to know if the relationship is moving forward, men in the other hand likes to avoid conversations regarding a relationship status.

3. Being Ignored

Women hate when men ignore them, or dont pay enough attention to them, a women likes to feel special, and they hate it when a guy doesnt spent enough time with them or tells her how special she is.

4. Friendships

Some women dont like that during a relationship a man talks to female friends on the phone or hangs out with female friends, and sometimes a it can be guy-friends as well, because men together tend to act different, or might spent too much time with the guy-friends, a woman don’t mind guys spending time with their friends as long as the friends don’t start hogging all the time and attention.

5. Lying

A women hates it when a man lies, when a man lies and gets caught, theres a chance the "all men are alike" might come up.

6. Not Clean

Women hate a man without basic sense of hygiene and etiquette, a women likes to see a man well groomed and clean.

7. Past Girlfriends

A woman doesnt like to hear a man talk about past relationships or talk about how many girlsfriends he had, a man in a relationship talking to one of his ex-girlfriends is a one of the things a woman hates the most.

8. Goals

Women desire a man who knows where he is going in life as that's an attitude of winner and women want to be around such men. They don't want to be stuck around negative men who don't know which way their life is going and have no plans for the future.

9. Controlling

Women do not like men who act like door mats but at the same time they do not prefer men who like everything their way all the time. Women like to be in the leader spot once in a while and prefer men who are good listeners.

10. Insecurity

Women dont like when the man is always insecure about their woman, and when they have to track every move they make and every person they talk to, it shows the woman that there is no trust in the relationship.

Perfect Man

There is no such thing as a perfect man, or even a perfect person we are all different, and when it comes to relationships we must try to understand this, always tell your partner if you dont like something, honesty is the key to long lasting relationships, dont try to change your partner because it wont get you anywhere, no one likes to be told they need to change, but simple communication can open many doors in your relationship. If you want to learn some tips about how to understand your partner better and avoid discussions, read STOP A BREAKUP

Although men are not perfect, and we (including me) have many bad habits and flaws, we must try to comprehend our partners point of view, if we are aware of what our partner in relationship does not like its easier to avoid a confrontation or fight.

Theres also lots of things us men dont like about women, but if I begin making the list now I might not finish writting till the next couple of days...hehehe here are some in my hub 10 THINGS MEN DONT LIKE ABOUT WOMEN

Just kidding..thanks for reading guys and dont forget to fan :)

I come from the perspective of having been born a woman and yet raised as a boy. No, not like a real boy but treated like a boy, a girl who spent more time as a child with her father rather than her mother.

In general men were not raised to "feel". They were raised to do. The opposite is true for women.

Lying is an individual trait and is not gender based.

All of the other things you mentioned can be worked out if people were very simply willing to say it as it is.

Totally agree with you. This should be emailed to all men and the fact is if men adhere to this, we'd have no reason to fall out of love with them :)

I figure I should comment (from one man's perspective) on #2.

Talking about the "status" of a relationship can make it seem as though a man is being judged. To a certain extent, he is, but talking about a relationship based on a clear-cut status makes a relationship seem more like "to stay with me, you have to be at least a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. This is where you stand right now."

I don't think all men are alike at all. This is a great list of issues. A woman needs to decide which ones are most important to her and then match a man that screws up on the other ones instead. :)

Fletch 2 years ago

Yet, women also contradict themselves in many ways. I think that emailing this to all men wouldnt do any good. Because you would still get the few that just ignore it totally. Women are also not perfect, and should not be judged as such. Women also make mistakes, and their through own strange behaviours can ruin relationships. Theres 2 sides to every coin, remember that.

You forgot one thing; women LOVE to bitch about men. If the men are perfect, then it gets boring for the woman. Believe me, you need to be an asshat SOMETIMES.

Most of that is true but some of the things can be said for men too. As in there are a few things there that men don't enjoy women doing, like talking about past boyfriends. Lying is definatly NOT gender based as many of us women tend to lie as much as the male population. Though we aren't perfect we still liked to be treated special - that's one thing definatly true. But all in all brilliant hub very interesting.

NOT ALL MEN ARE SAME BECAUSE IF ALL WERE THE SAME I WONDER HOW WE WOULD EVER FIND THE WE ONE THAT WE LOVE.

EACH MAN IS DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE TO ME, THEY ARE OUR IMPULSE AT TIMES AND THE REASON WHY WE MAKE AN EFFORT TO LOOK LIKE SUPERMODELS EACH DAY, IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM WE WOULD HAVE NO LIFE AT ALL....

It is the commlete package that a man loves in a woman. Women look in the mirror and only see their reflection. A man is interested in the complete package -- body & soul, heart and mind. But the complete package is not reflected in the mirror. Only by getting to know the women can the man make up his mind. But some men prefer certain characteristics in a women.

Me for example, I like a woman with long black hair and dark Asian eyes. I like a woman who is slender and feminine and warm.

It is like heaven when such a woman put hers arms around your neck and hold you tightly and gives you a warm embracing hug, and talks softly to you.

Romantic women radiate beauty and love.

I don't know if women understand what men feel. There is a glow inside that is stronger than any drug. There is nothing on earth like the love a woman can convey to her man.

I don't understand men who want to become women; and I don't understand men who are homosexual.

I do not find all women attractive. But some I do.

The ones I like the most are in the Far East, in places like China, japan and south east Asia.

I have nothing against western women. They seem to be straight forward practical and logical. But I love the Asian women of the far East.

Bic Runga, the famous singer from New Zealand is a real beauty, in my humble opinion. That is the kind of woman I like. Beautiful dark eyes, and a lovely face. I like her hairstyle too.

What bothers me is I have met and been ask out by many women who are emotionally and financially insecure. Not knowing what they want in life, except a good man to take care of them. They act brash and cocky, but end up actually having very low self esteem and really low to no confidence. I always read woman want men with high confidence, esteem, and know what they want in life and financially secure. After over 2 decade of off and on dating and looking for my perfect partner to settle down with again ( once bitten by a deceitful lying cheating woman that luckily ended in divorce before to much damage was done) many times shy), I have only found one I really thought might work out. But alas, my down fall is I am a nice guy too, and the one woman who was honest, beautiful to me, I could talk to for hours on end and trust with my life, ended up going for the bad boy in the end.

After all my years dating, then one marriage, and again dating, I am of the personal opinion the reason many woman say they want confident, secure, financially stable, and so on, is because they are looking for everything they are not. Some say its opposites attract. I personally call it hypocritical, or using. Similar to a parasite seeking a host.

I personally wish for someone that can be treated as an equal in a relationship, doesn’t demand to be taken care of, not a control freak that whines about everything she does not agree with or like, don’t like, and uses sex as a tool for blackmailing the man, and can have an intelligent conversation. Maybe I am a dreamer, but I know what I like and what I want, and I worked to hard to get where I am in life. Im not going to give it all away for someone who thinks because they are good looking, they should get whatever they want. Relationships are 2 way streets, and a lot of work to have them last and turn out well. Divorce is over 50% now because most women, and many men too, just walk out when they don’t like it anymore, or become bored and want something new to do. I am not like that. Like I said, I’m the nice guy who found out its easy to be burned, used, and abused, and Im not allowing this ever again. The only good thing from my previous marriage was the birth of my daughter, who I have sole custody of. And I am trying to show her to be confident, intelligent, strong willed, career orientated, loyal to the relationship and very nice to others, not a user, liar, or an abuser of others just to get what she might want at that moment. I just pray to god she will at least grow up with half of those qualities. I will be a happy parent then. If she inherits all of them, I will be a ecstatic and the proudest parent on earth.

Like I’ve said, it’s my personal observations and theories from more than 2 decades and more dates than I care to count, in my experience way to many women are the opposite of what they say they look for in a man. They want a sugar daddy , a free ride, a sucker who will do anything for a pretty face and promises of love. Id just love to find someone to spend my life with as an equal and partner in life, and a wonderful role model for my daughter. Is that too much to ask?

Apparently so..

This is a good article. The insecurity ia a huge turnoff for me. I have had the misfortune of dating a man who had ABSOLUTELY no confidence at all. And despite how well we got along and tried to build something solid he just couldn't get it together. It was frustrating as hell because he seemed like such a great guy but I knew I just couldn't change that for him.

Good hub overall. I believe as women get older there are one or two of these things we learn to accommodate--we learn that men aren't 'talkers' in general and start to use our girlfriends for fleshing out every nook and cranny of our emotion if necessary. However, good hygiene will never be compromised for me. lol. The other things: a man having direction, honesty, and leaving the past behind are signs of maturity and the lack thereof is immature. I'll happily stay single until I find a guy who compatibly works hard to understand a woman's differences as a do in understanding the male.

My husband and I were best friends for 3 years before we started dating and were married. We have been married 25 years and by no means has it always been a bed of roses. We work very hard at it. Tell each other many times a day we love each other, are equal partners and respect each others opinion and most of all, laugh a lot. If you don't keep humor in a relationship it can easily become too serious. Put your partner before all other relationships and remember be best friends always.

I'm 15, and i think some of these are true but not all of them. Everyone lies, cheats, complains, and everyone wants to feel special no matter what their gender is. And all men are different not one is just alike.

Hi! Most of it is true, but I think hearing about past relationships is a healthy sign. And so is having female friends. I am a little weary of the guys who never talk about their past and don't know how to be friends with a gal. The jealousy this is all subjective.

Good piece. Just needs a bit of editing and you're good.

NO WOMAN EVER WANTS A NICE GUY. PERIOD. IT ALL COMES FROM WANTING TO BE THE GIRL WHO "CHANGED" HIM. WAY TO GO HOLLYWOOD FOR GIVING PEOPLE A FALSE SENSE OF WHAT LIFE SHOULD BE LIKE. THERE IS NO LOVE ANYMORE.

I have found that some women use any excuse for thier behaviour, and quite often any attempts to clarify an issue results in a childish retaliation, women cannot help but bare grudges! Emotional blackmail is thier bread and butter, I am a strong driven guy with all the attributes you could ask for from physique to a strong but kind nature. The truth is women want to dominate you, play you treat you like a ken doll.

They are self infatuated and have an over inflated sense of self, which they mask behind a veil of insecurities.

Very very few women understand that love requires mutual respect, mutual affection, mutual understanding, and time!! We are expected to provide it all, do it all!

You can never have an open discussion about each others areas of issue without a woman turning it into a personal battlefield!

The truth is women are users and abusers, and have been brought up to see it as thier right!!!

Women need to learn the meaning of the term

'MUTUAL RESPECT'

I am sure there are a handful of good women out there but I really can't seem to find them, it is usually an act that reverts back to thier selfish and unbearably childish and spoilt ways, girls should not be brought up differently from guys!

As men we are expected to make it far in life with no one to help us and if we ever have to ask for help we are seen as weak,

Women are seen as weak and possitively encouraged to ask for help.

I just feel as if we are treated unfairly, I feel like a downtrodden dog, I am kind loving and respectful, and I end up being used for sex, nice things, holidays, or just the love that I give.

It seems to be that any excuse a women can find to act like a complete Bitch is fine, but when I guy makes even one mistake, suddenly he's the worst guy on earth!

someone please answer me why this is???
