Why is this on my notifications? OK I get you don't like extremes , fair enough , I absolutely agree on No 4 , this applies to everyone. " Over Masculinity " , not sure what you mean here , but I detect an undercurrent of " I'm not keen on men ". In fairness young women are brainwashed to view men as inferior , sex crazed , sleazebags , I'm a single dad that has had hostility from women that assume I'm a sex predator for the " crime " of being born male , but I hold no grudges , as I understand they are conditioned to think this way.
Good on you to think this, I was brought up with a single dad myself and a lot of my thoughts are different to my peers. Plus it took dad a year in courts to gain custody mainly because he was male. But to me over masculinity is when a guy doesn't cook (doesn't do things that are typically female things to do) and makes me not drive or play video games (cause they're things that males typically do).
@19magic Responses like this give me hope & kudos to you , you have a balanced head on your shoulders. I was brought up by a single mother , it's like the wheel has turned full circle , but mothers are treated better than fathers. I will bet your father got some flak from judgmental , bitchy mothers , when he raised you !! At least we can both at least partially understand the other genders POV & I'm so glad you acknowledge the deliberate psychological poisoning of peoples minds by the lamestream " media " , just look up the House of Rothschild & Agenda 21 , to see who is really behind all this malignant social engineering ( it's no accident the feminist movement is led by man haters ). Current world events will start to make more sense.
Yeah he did at that I think one time he went in female toilets with me when I was younger, cus I used to be a clingy child. Which he did cus of like male urinals and stuff and there wasn't a disabled toilet or anything. He had to go to London to get a solicitor rather than use the ones in the city we were in, cus they were all like there's no way a man can take custody of a child.
And feminists I had one friend who was one and she complained all the time about unrealistic body images on cartoons like Disney. But only for the females not the males, same with films she was like they always play the ultra skinny female half naked. But when she saw a male she was all for him taking his clothes off, she didn't want to listen when I said she was a hypocrite.
@19magic Haha !! Hypocrites hate being called out on their BS !!
We are conditioned to think this way due to repeated exposure to experiences with men that back this up. Continual reinforcement if you will. #notallmen but a lot sadly.
Oh my God I so love this. I will add that a hate a man that females can easily get.
Pick and choose, some of them try to justify it by saying they don't get into relationships with these girls and that it was just sex. However, if you're easy I don't want you, that's dramatic and dangerous to me.
I can't stand man-whores. There's no double standard in my opinion.
I agree apart from the awkwardness one.
I still find that cute and am awkward myself so wouldn't be able to say much on that one anyway.
I agree, except for the first. Awkwardness is ok for me, it looks more like the guy is interested which is nice :)
But I think "over confidence" should be replaced with "narcissism" that is more accurate. Confidence is a great thing, narcissism is not, and narcissism is actually a mask for insecurities.
I like Over confidence and generally conceited men lol if you think you're a god. I'm gonna think you are too. That's just me lol but the others are terrible 😂
To each their own haha
Hmmm... no age indication. I'm guessing about 18.
One think you will find is that men and women are NOT equal - they are totally different. Each will have differing strengths and weaknesses compared to you. Appreciate those differences. Don't try to be competitive with him, it doesn't look good on you.
You don't want a confident guy? Well gee, I'm telling you that you'll be bored to tears if he's not.
You really don't want them to be just like your girlfriends either.
It is yet time again for men to be men and women to be women.
YES. Soooo many guys have come to believe (mistakenly) that girls will fall at their feet if they act like overconfident jackasses. So many guys think they're so much better than they are. #5 is especially true. I see all these skippy little guys strutting around my college like they're the Rock or something. It's like, you're 5'9" and 140 lbs. You're barely masculine, let alone hyper-masculine.
So here's the thing, I actually find all of those things attractive if done in the right way. Most cases I would probably find them unattractive too, but I don't know with some people it just adds to their charm as well as it makes other people more repulsive. I'm weird that way. I know.
Well said.
@Fearless_banana
Basically, if the guy is attractive, you won't really mind.
But if he's ugly, you're like GTFO, ammiright?
@MrNameless yeah 😂😂 I mean there is some personality that she is talking about but I think it probably comes down to that
@MrNameless Well.. Uhm. Okaay, I suppose I may be a little shallow on that area. Just maybe. However, it doesn't work on all attractive guys either. As I said, if it's done the right way and there's the right balance then it might work. Basically, sometimes you want to punch them while other times you want to, well.. do them I guess.
@Fearless_banana and thanks
Your preference! Nothing wrong with that. Rock it girl
Thanks for not being one of those people that flips out!
Thank you <3
They are all highly debatable generalizations about guys. Only a minority of guys will have any ONE of these traits.
Many guys have them, thereby, she doesn't say that guys have them and thus doesn't generalize, but only states that she finds them less attractive if they do...
@Rick1998 You're trying to Trump-cover for this honey. The title. '5 things ABOUT GUYS clearly implies she is talking about guys IN GENERAL having these characteristics.
But you of course know that, you just won't admit it.
No, I mean I don't find those things attractive, not that every man has those qualities.
You could say we have them in degrees, like RPG stats.
I think the moral of the story is don't judge a guy on his face, just because he demonstrates any one of these things. Of course, that's not saying OP isn't free to leave, but it's definitely worth taking into account (whether the 4 people downvoting understand that or not, remains a mystery though... haha).
@Rick1998 Stop yer mansplainin' right der.
"Only a minority of men are masculine"
- martyfellow, 2016
Basically the same for me when it comes to women except it's a bit different.
1. Major Awkwardness
2. Over Confidence
3. Over Estimation Of Intelligence
4. Invading My Personal Space
5. Excessive Clingyness
Would you be friends with Chad THundercock?
@BubbleBoy69 Went to school with him.
Sounds like some kind of very tomboy girl, if all 5 applied.
@Nobodycares That could just be his preference though... Nothing wrong with that
@ebbyeb This deal is like 4 months old please don't start up any new conversations.
#3-Dr. Phil comes to mind... Aaaargh! He's so annoying, I want to rip my hair out! Nothing irritates me more, than a self-riteous know-it-all! #1-my older sister had a boyfriend like that, and I don't know if she saw his awkwardness, but I did. I felt uncomfortable around him.
What? I effing love Dr. Phil xD
@beebetree25 Well, Dr. Phill is very wealthy, so is that the reason why you love him?
@EnglishArtsteacher This is a misconception about women that needs to die.
@Bubbles123X It may not be true for women in your age group, but it is for women in their 20's.
This take would have been cute if the title was: "5 things that turn me off about people"
All the things you mentioned are not gender exclusive (including over masculinity yes) and they are all very common turn offs that men find in women too.
You can easily see from here how sexist this take is.
The last sentence in your post also gives the impression that you belong to category number 3 and possibly 2 also. The post would have been much better without it.
And don't forget about their dicks!! With all the dick questions bombarding the posts lately aren't we all sick of them? I know I am. Haven't we established that size does infact matter no itsy bitsy shlong and no horse dicks, anything in between and the man's dick is just fine. So I loved your mytake but add a 6th turn off to the 5!
Lol, all of them are a huge turn on for me. I Iove awkward guys, cause I'm myself awkward girl. I love intelligent guys cause we can talk forever. Masculine ones, damn, love running my fingers on their chest and abs. And the ones who invades my space and grab me is a huge turn on, especially if we like each other, makes me feel super weak; although I'm not.
lol we should date
@udit9191 maybe in other life we are dating. You never know :)
So don't be awkward, but don't be super confident at the same time...
Be smart, but not too smart...
Touch a girl to show her you like her, but don't touch her at all
Be a man, but not too much of a man...
You know how hard it is to be a guy nowadays?
It sounds to me like you just want respect and some appreciation of your gifts and talents before he goes all macho on you.
#3 is sooooo true! I hate it when they try to make everyone agree with their own opinions. Also when they go on and on and they don't even know what they're saying...
Over Confidence equals to men believing in the alpha male concept and thinking they are such one. I can see why that is unattractive.
As for number 3 - The i-am-right-and-everyone-else-is-wrong syndrome is really annoying. I can see why that is unattractive.
4. Cliche is indeed damaging healthy relationships. I can see why that is unattractive.
People hate extremes in general, and even if we DO like masculinity, being too masculine is a turn off because too much of a thing is well... too much. Just like being affectionate is great but being clingy is not. And we evolved from our ancestors who felt the need to procreate just like animals, we're way more rational now, even if women still have the need of being protected (subconciously) and men still have the need to find a healthy mother, we're not attracted only by physical. Again, we're rational beings and personality means a lot for both sexes, being too much of an "alpha" is a personality turn off just like being too much feminine would be a turn off, that meaning a girl would be too emotional, attracted only to huge men, too clingy, lazy and a coward. As you see, being too feminine and too masculine bring qualities that may be good into negative traits.
I hope you get y point, is pretty hard for me to explain this as English is not my native language xD
@Heera Hm, yeah. I can't like extremes.
Again, there is no such thing as alpha or beta male in the human species. It's merely a psychological way of thinking or believing or acting. It doesn't matter in our given discussion but yes, way too much of a thing can be bad.
However if we take me as myself, I do not need to find a healthy mother but only a healthy girl, which see's it the same way as I do =)
But still, we got a bunch of people, who don't make themselves their true self.
@Unit1 Sorry, my first reply was because I misread that you CAN'T understand why the concept of alpha male is unattractive, my bad. Indeed, there shouldn't be an alpha/beta thing because we're evolved human beings, unfortunately there are lots of men trying to prove themselves as an alpha. By the way, looking for a healthy girl is actually subconciously looking for a healthy mother for future children (even if you don't want children, this is why you'll be attracted to healthy looking women)
You're one of the very few people who didn't got offended by this post, is so nice to see there are still open minded people on gag! :)
@Heera I'll take it as a compliment :) Much thanks dear!
I can see now what you mean.
This is something I never said but really had a thing for: Healthy girls. I'm not the type to set up mind games because these are just stupid but reading minds is... random, shall we say so :) ?
I can't like girls with self destructive behavior or self damaging behaviors. I mean girls, who smoke, drink alcohol, club themselves until it takes a toll on their health? That's just ugh!
I completely agree. I think this just goes for people in general. I remember one time me and my friend were going to this game club at our highschool during lunch. My friend dropped the controller and all the nerds flipped out on her. We just got up and left right away hands in the air like "I'm out, I'm out!"
