The biggest turn-off in a man I find is one that is scared of commitment..

That and a comb-over and teeth at the side of the bed..

Actually, a man who thinks he is better than everyone else tied with a man who is a wimp. By a wimp, I mean a man who doesn't do what's right because he's afraid of how people will treat him, or a man who can't decide whether or not he wants to commit, or an abusive man, or a chameleon, who changes with the people he's around. Yuck!

I don't like it when men act like they're on a job interview, especially on a a first date. After 10-15 minutes of them going
on and on about how terrific they are at their career (my eyes have now glazed over) I wonder if they read my profile or have listened when we spoke on the phone/email etc. I'm interested in THEM, as a PERSON (not a wage earner.)

Yes, it is admirable when one is hardworking, or for that matter. . . working! However, I want to like them for THEM! I'm interested in their personality, how they relate to and treat people, not their career resume.

Can anyone shed light on why on earth they do that?????

Anyhow, yeah- all of you hit the biggies- dishonesty (saying they are not married when they are being my biggest turn off and pet peeve), hygiene and self absorption= deal breakers, for sure!

Why does it seem so impossible to find an honest, non cheating, kind, thoughtful man whom actually is looking for a relationship too? I dunno!!! (Maybe they are all still on Mars? re: reference to the Mars/Venus books)

Yup, I'm still single. . . 0 -CL

ALL of the above and more, YEA, I agree with what everybody else said.

AND LISA - HOW COME YOU KNOW ABOUT SMELLY BUGGERS??? I am almost 44 and I NEVER SMELLED A BUGGER!! I even have all these brother's, ton's of nephews, 2 son's here, too, and I never!!

Smelly belly buttons, Smelly sweaty dirty boy hair and of course all the noises boys can make from all areas in their body ...... but never buggers!!!

I'm gagging here and giggling and gagging some more at the thought of that!!

Lilly.......Ummmm......WOW, I actually got all upset and got teary reading all these women's responses. There are apparently lots of maggots all over the world.

Isn't there any normal men left out there?

I am getting pretty tired of hearing the same thing, the same hurts, the same nonsense from from women about the poor treatment towards them from men from all walks of life.

It's a pretty sad world out there for us ladies, isn't it?

I do not ask for much. To respect a man and be respected back. To love someone as much as they love me. To be considerate, kind, thoughtful and nice. To be a man of his word. I will never purposely hurt him and I don't expect him to purposely hurt me.

Not a single thing I ask for costs money, yet, I can't even find that.

We really are two different species aren't we? What happened to both being human with the same heart that can break? Wouldn't you think that they would know what they don't want and learn from past mistakes and then run with it to find real happiness this time?

Has everyone just been made too jaded by their pasts failures and mistakes that they can't learn from it and be different now?

I've been bruised tons but you know, I never gave up hope. I always just thanked God that He revealed to me without too much scaring and chalked it up to just not the right one, not equally yoked, etc...

I always start a new relationship fresh and ready for something real until they prove me wrong. I guess that is what is so frustrating. Open up and trust completely to be burnt again. I really do try though. I really do try to give them all my trust...let them lead in the relationship. Be grateful for everything.

Someone said I am too nice that is why I get walked all over. But that's me. They want a materialistic witch (-w+b), there are plenty out there. I am not changing and hope a man see's "me" for "me" and appreciates and wants that.

I guess when is enough, enough?? When do you throw in the towel that HE is not ready to reveal the one? Or maybe their won't be a "one" and the only "one" is supposed to be HIM ALONE!?!

There is only so much a person can take before it just takes the wind from your sails and leaves you just disgusted with the whole dating process. Zaps me. Exhausts me.

Guess I really should have been a nun, I lived the life anyway and you know black is very slimming. The shoes are probably comfy too.

Most Christian men are supposed to be Born Again or claim to be - you'd think they would learn to do things differently given the blessings and the saving grace from our Lord and all the peace that should come from walking with HIM.

I do have feelings for someone and only HE will reveal if he truly is the one HE intends for me to be with. Only time will tell. But honestly, I am worried, I am afraid that he will turn out like the rest and once again I was willing to open my heart, start new, trust and I am afraid to get burned again.

UGH! Just a sore subject for me, I suppose. Can you tell?!?!

Hi Fieldlilies-

Thanks for posting this and the previous (What do women like most about men?, blogs). It is a great opportunity to learn from each other's comments and to well. . . vent a bit.

i.e. my response here- Yeah, I figured they talk about what they are comfy to talk about- their careers. I realize men don't delve into chatting about feelings when they 1st meet someone for coffee. However, I really have had some go on and on about how much $ they make, all their statistics of what they've accomplished in the past 20 yrs. and there is just no stopping them. Believe, me after a few dates like that, I don't talk about my career, at all. I just answer any questions they ask about it.

I had one man tell me all about his houses up North and Down South and all the $ he spends on the woman he dates. (Flattering, I guess??? Didn't really know what to make of it.) Then he wondered why his last long term relationship was a woman whom used him for his money?????

Do women really come off as that shallow that we are just looking to be expensively wined and dined? Don't get me wrong, I like to put on the nice dress and go out to a nice dinner, have a respectful man pull out my chair and have an elegant eve out- but I think it is sad that lots of men feel they have to advertise this to "get" a woman interested. Am I the only one to have experienced this? Just wondering.

Anyhow- yeah- trying to cut slack. I think I may have let a couple of good ones go after the first date. But, then again, if they aren't right, I think I did the right thing. Dating is so difficult as a single parent.

Enjoying life with kids, friends and well, the potential that he is out there but God hasn't put us together yet, or at the right time, I guess.

The biggest turn off for me, is an opinionated man who thinks and acts as if he is the center of the universe. Men who blame the whole world except himself when something bad happens to him, and men who are incapable of bonding emotionally, lies and cheat on their partners with not an ounce of sincerity on their bones.

Thanks for your post sister. It reminds me why its still so blessed to remain single.....lol.....(for now, at least)

GBY,
