Women Explain Which Things Guys Do To Seem Sexy That Absolutely Aren't

Us women have to put up with a lot of weird sh*t from men. Sometimes, it seems that they're just completely oblivious to what we want and need, but we just can't figure out how to say it. Luckily, we can all vent about it on Reddit. Here are some of the things guys do to seem sexy, when in reality, they just aren't.

u/Ulcrar asked: Women of Reddit, what is something Men do that they think is sexy/attractive but really isn't?



What makes them think this is a good idea?

On dating websites, post photos of them posing with at least 8 scantily clad women who work at the tropical resort that the guy is staying at.

"See what girls I can pay to stick around me, be thankful I might bone you."

FieserMoep

So disappointing.

Going to into great detail about all the things they're going to do when they get you in bed, and then doing exactly zero of those things.

Don't bring me into the bedroom thinking I'm getting an evening of pleasure when the reality is 10 seconds of jackhammer that's only enjoyable for you.

"I'm going to roll you up in a blanket and feed you pizza."

Alkuam

Yes and yes.

If you have to constantly tell people how big of a deal you are, you're not a big deal. Also don't be a jerk to the staff.

pantsRrad

Yes please. If you're awful to hard working people who just do their jobs, you're awful in general. Such a turn off.

Talk about toxic masculinity.

Dated a guy once that took the masculine thing too far. I couldn't call him cute without him flipping out. He wouldn't ever call anything cute either. Wouldn't even run his hands through my hair because it was too girly.

Guy I'm with now falls asleep playing with my hair and it is HEAVEN.

This is weird.

Order my food for me. Not in a cute, I know what she wants kind of way but a dominant a-hole kind of way.

I once was taken on a date, he insisted in driving and drove like a jackass there and back, blasted the same T-pain song over and over, then as we proceeded to order, he ordered everything for me, from the water to my horrible salad. I STILL PAID HALF THE BILL!!!!! One of the worst dates ever. 0 out of 10 would recommended dating this guy.

ChayoteSoup

So annoying.

Being overprotective in a cringy way. I have nothing against a guy who is considerate but I really don't need someone who wants to punch every other guy that just looks at me (or even someone who makes sh*t up like "I heard these strangers over there talking about you" and frowning at them).

Like wtf dude, make me feel safe if you want to but don't make me feel like I'm made of glass.

med1a

YES.

Trusting you know what your girl wants is not the same thing is telling her what she wants.

One is knowing her well enough to give her what she wants the other is doing what you want and telling her she should 'lighten up and give it a try'.

purplestationary6616

We see right through it.

Lying to make themselves look smart. The truth will come out. And when it does, they will look like a dumb*ss.

I was in a relationship with a guy way before all this metoo and the mentioning of red flags. I knew he was lying but I was so sucked in and people just kept saying to give him a benefit of the doubt. He lied about SO MANY things. Like buying Christmas gifts for me and my family and the gifts breaking in the mail. He made my cry at least once a day then broke up over the phone with me.

He knocked up some girl and got married a week later. He's a scumbag with two ugly kids and she's a MLM consultant.

DameNaggySmith

Let's be real, they probably can't,

Talking about how they can "take down" someone. Okay you do that..

krasavetsa

Oh god I HATE when men tell hypothetical stories about the type of guys who would get their a**es kicked if they dared to disrespect them. It's not making you look like a hero, just a violent jack*ss.

QueenBumbleBrii

That's uncomfortable.

I had an ex that would put on his "sultry" voice and tell me it's time for bed.

It really came out sounding creepy and not a bit romantic.

Physically, we had good times but I had to cringe past his verbal intro.

Agreeable-Landscape

I don't think anyone feels comfortable with that.

Giphy

When they stare at you from across the way and don't stop.

I don't feel comfortable when that happens.

RosenrotEis

YES.

Physical violence/fighting. Last thing I want on a night out is for you to get in a fight. It's just a mindless display of testosterone. Give me a man who walks away from a fight any day.

ronald482

No means no.

When they try to "win you over" after you've rejected their advances.

It has never once been attractive behaviour, only really weird for me. But then again I'm not attracted to men so perhaps that's just a me thing. Maybe some guys can make it cute by just showing they won't leave you right off, the ones I've encountered just sort of seem to be pushing themselves on me and I'm not a fan.

LostStripedSock

That's not confidence.

Giphy

Talking about HoW I DoN't CarE ThAt I DrESS wIErd, YoU'Re sO LuCKy To EVen bE WiTH ME when they actually have very low self esteem and push people away because their insecure, but come off as cocky and "confident", and dress funny to stand out and seem like they "aren't like other guys".

dropdead-demigod

WTF?

Trying to have sex with me but judging me if I have sex with them on a first date.

I don't have time for that game.

People Break Down What Absolutely Ruins A Good Burger For Them

Most people love a good burger, and many, many American restaurants serve them, but not all burgers are created equal.

Super tall burgers that are hard to eat, way too much sauce (or only a tiny bit of sauce on the middle of the bun), soggy lettuce — there are lots of ways to ruin a burger.

We've all had experiences which left us sad or despondent.

A friend moving away, the loss of a pet, missing out on a promotion.

While these experiences often result in our feeling the need to drown out our feelings in some capacity, we know deep down that we'll eventually bounce back.

Some experiences, however, take a bit longer to recover from, if we manage to recover from them at all.

The sort of experiences which, for lack of a better term, break us.

Flirting is always a delicate balance.

While an obvious way to get someone's attention, and let them know they find them attractive and (hopefully), are interested in dating them, it's not always appreciated.

As some people find flirting to be little more than thinly veiled sexual harassment, particularly when intentions are less than honorable.

Flirting is an even more dangerous game when in the office.

While some people flirt with colleagues for little more than harmless fun, others take flirting in the workspace much more seriously.

Whether they're the ones doing the flirting, or the ones being flirted to.

We want to believe the world is a good place, and it can be. However, there are still those who seek to deceive us.

They prey on the innocent and naïve and run scams that take advantage of us and our assets.

Some of these scams are as old as time itself, and most people have wised up. They can recognize the tricks and protect themselves. However, every now and then, someone still falls for one of those stupid scams.

Redditors identified some of these scams and are ready to share.
