Are you turning men off? What about the last date you went out on? Has that guy returned your calls, or has he ghosted you?

Women more often than not focus most of their energy on attracting and keeping a man. And very little time on actions and behaviors that repel men.

So, in this article, we will look at 5 things that turn men off.

When You Move too Fast.

No man wants to feel pressured to be with you. So, asking a guy the “What are we?” question too soon into dating a guy will turn him off. Not only is this a turnoff, but most men will not stick around to get to know you.

Moving the pace of a relationship too fast will kill any chemistry you have with a man. A moderate pace everyone is comfortable with is what you want. You look desperate asking a man for a title when you have only been dating for a month.

Even if the guy is great and has checked all your boxes.

Every woman has the right to know a man’s intentions. But the question should only come up once it’s clear you all have feelings for each other. And you’re progressing toward exclusivity and a commitment.

Men get Turned Off When You Try to Fix Him.

Nothing gets under a man’s skin faster than a woman that tries to fix him. Men do not walk around thinking to themselves, “Man, I’m so broken. I hope I meet a woman to fix me.”

Men aren’t broken, and we don’t think we need fixing. Yet, we do consider to ourselves about meeting the woman of our dreams. Or a woman that will inspire a man to be his best self.

You can’t fix a man, but you can bring the best out of a man if you can believe in his passions and dreams. So stop trying to fix him and start thinking about him.

Picking Fights

If you are the kind of woman that likes to pick fights or cause drama with your man, then prepare to be alone. No man will accept a woman that causes drama in our lives. No matter how attractive you are.

Most men understand that relationships need work. Disagreements will occur. Especially when you’re getting to know each other early into the relationship.

Men don’t like to fight and will try to avoid confrontations when they can. What turns men off is when the woman they are with picks fights with them, making mountains out of molehills.

Causing drama with your man will always turn him off.  Proverbs 25:24 states, “It is better to live in the corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”

Men seek women that are peaceful and drama-free. Women that resolve conflicts with peace and respect is a trait men desire.

Over-Analyzing Men’s Actions is a Turnoff

Nothing turns guys off quicker than over-analyzing a man’s actions. Women tend to overthink and analyze every step a man makes to gauge his true feelings for her.

More often than not, women are wrong in their analysis. It is your false assumptions that turn your man off. No man wants every step he takes and moves he makes analyzed.

Stop trying to figure out your man’s intentions. If his actions make you feel insecure or that he is unfaithful. The mere fact that you think this way is enough reason to end the relationship.

Trust your intuitions. You do not need to analyze a man’s actions.

Being Dependant on Him – Turn Men Off

Men like women that are independent and can take care of themselves. But women that depend on men for everything is a huge turnoff.

For instance, if you and your girls go to dinner together every Friday. All at once, you stop seeing your friends and start spending all that time with your man.

You spend so much time with your man. That whenever people see you, they see him.

If my likes become your likes, how am I getting to know the real you? If your life revolves around me, what value can you add to my life? Why would I want to be with you?

Over time your man will start to lose interest in you.

When a man sees that you have lost your independence and have become dependent on him. You are no longer fascinating.

The reason for a man’s lack of interest is because you have made him a priority in your life. You lose your sense of self to please him. You think your guy will see how great you are, but to him, you look desperate.

And because you have taken on your man’s role in the relationship by chasing him. You’re not valuable in your man’s eyes. He hasn’t had to work to win you over.

To avoid turning a man off – stay true to yourself and don’t depend on him so much.
