Many men study and adopt traits that women like. However, if you have certain deal-breaking behaviors, these might outweigh your attractive traits.
Dating success does not come easy. You’ve overhauled your wardrobe, upgraded your grooming habits, successfully adopted a bad guy attitude, learned all the right tricks, can talk on a wide variety of topics and listen attentively to women for attitude yet you still experience being passed over by women for the other guy! What is the matter, you ask yourself.
The reason for your disappointment can be most likely due to behavior patterns or personality traits that turn-off women. Analyze your behavior and make the corrections as necessary in order to enjoy the dating scene to the fullest!
Five personality traits that turn women off and you must put right
Perhaps you are trying to come off as confident, but are going too far and coming off as conceited or crude.
1. Never equate self-confidence with arrogance. A very fine line separates self-confidence from arrogance or over-confidence. You have to be aware of this otherwise it can result in your failure to get in on the action. Always be the gentleman but never the overbearing type of person.
Although this may work for women who are completely unsure of themselves it certainly does not work for majority of the women out there. There is no valid excuse to forsake basic courteousness especially when dealing with women. Some women may prefer being treated like dirt but I doubt if you will enjoy the company of such women.
There is no need to brag about yourself, if you’re good, you’re good—it will always come up to the surface and there is no need for doing your own drumbeating! Never fail to be polite and give women the respect they deserve while maintaining a self-confident attitude.
You might be being too stiff, either coming off as over-eager or too shy. Relax, and you can give off a more balanced impression.
2. Refrain from being overly aggressive as it can turn women off, worse it may frighten them away! Establish eye contact but never stare at a woman, more so if the woman is gorgeous looking.
Learn to relax and always put a smile on your face (but don’t grin like an idiot!) so that you will appear disarming despite your eagle eye gaze as you survey the bar or anywhere you happen to be. Make yourself fit in any crowd, be it in a museum, nightclub, book fair or a convention.
Check your body language when you are in completely unfamiliar surroundings. Do you cross your arms, stay in a corner or simply stare at people? If so, then you’re doing it all wrong. Regardless of the situation, familiar or not, you should relax and fit in—this is indicative of your degree of self-confidence, a fact that women notice all the time! Learn how to work a room.
You might be confusing quantity with quality as far as talking goes. Babbling is a common nervous habit. Try to see if it is a habit of yours.
3. Do not talk too much! Nervous people tend to talk too much, on the other hand women are naturally talkative! There already is a conflict of interest, sort of. Do not fall prey into this trap, as you would certainly lose whatever brownie points you may have gathered so far!
If you have to talk, then talk…but do it in an interesting manner like you’re telling a story giving only the highlights and not the nitty-gritty details about your life, work, past time and others. Do not ever engage in a Q&A, you are not in a job interview and neither is she!
Draw her out by asking questions and the moment you see an opening, start teasing her comfortably keeping in mind to avoid sexual innuendoes until she starts laughing and feeling at ease.
Do not be intimated by natural silences, instead use it to your advantage by acting as naturally as possible and remember to keep your voice modulated so that she can understand you even if the background is noisy.
Making choices can be difficult, but sometimes you just have to man up, stop dithering, and take the consequences as they come.
4. Women are easily turned off by men’s indecision. They have no respect for men who can’t make a decision on their own but respect those who can, regardless if the decision is wrong!
For women, decisiveness is a big plus factor. It encompasses a whole range of desirable characteristics they are looking for in a man—strength, success potential, self-confidence and the bad guy attitude all package in this one word.
Women can never stand indecision on the part of men because they see this as a sign of weakness. They see decisiveness as a positive dominant attitude but not domineering that they feel suppressed. Taking a stand is a big plus factor when dealing with women, they will ultimately respect you for it. Never be afraid to make mistakes when making your decision, turn it to your advantage by laughing at your expense!
Despite the popularity of brooding vampires and sulky rock stars, emulating such people will only make you seem like bad company.
5. Never allow yourself to get moody the moment you step out of your apartment, leave your moodiness, pessimism and grouchiness behind. Women are naturally attracted to men who are energetic and full of life.
Remember, women easily get attracted to men who lead adventurous and exciting lives but if you happen to be in a bad mood then no matter how exciting your life, your mood sends all the wrong signals to people around you.
Every time you go out, leave your testy mood behind and embrace the world and all its possibilities of good fortune. Always plan to have a good time whenever you go out and take it as a chance to lighten up and have fun. Leave behind any negative baggage or issues you may have, the woman you meet does not deserve to be the garbage bin of your frustrations!
Being attractive to women is not just about having all the required traits on a checklist. It is also about avoiding undesirable behaviors.
If you discover that you are somehow exhibiting any of the above, the best thing you can do is to correct your attitude pronto otherwise all the preparation you’ve gone through will not be worth anything. Dating is very similar to marketing a product, the only difference is that you can rectify your weak points and strengthen them to make yourself even more desirable! Be the man that women enjoy meeting because they get to laugh, relax, enjoy and have a good time.
