You can be funny, sweet and a generally nice guy—but some habits are just plain dealbreakers. So if you’re wondering why girls aren’t into you, or why a really exciting date fizzled out 10 seconds after she stepped into your apartment, this list can help you find the real problem (and solve it!).
Bad breath
It sounds so superficial, but how can you kiss a guy (or even have an intimate conversation) with someone whose breath smells like a garbage dump? We know bad breath can have a lot of medical causes, but 99% it can be reasonably fixed by a date with a toothbrush and a handy supply of breath mints.
Greasy hair
We spend so long getting ready for a date, why can’t you? And if your hair is a disgusting mess, we can only imagine what the rest of you could possibly be like…eeew! We understand that your hair may have been a result of a bad encounter with cheap gel, but let that be a lesson. First impressions may be unfair, but they’re still very real.
Mean comments
When you’re rude to the waiter, or make snarky remarks about people the whole day, we’ll be wondering if you really treat all people badly, and along that line, if you’ll treat us badly. Leave the nastiness to Jersey Shore, because the only girls who think that’s hot are pretty nasty themselves.
Being too serious
We love a sense of humor. While you don’t have to be a stand up comic, at least don’t look grumpy or look uncomfortable when we crack a joke.
Filthy apartment
We’ve dated guys who leave their jackets everywhere, but we draw the line at yesterday’s dishes piled in the sink (roach motel, baby) and sweaty gym socks on the sofa.
