Dating can be rough and anyone who’s been through it knows that just because there are plenty of fish in the sea doesn’t mean it’s any easier to catch the one you want. The whole process feels even more draining when it seems like you keep dealing with the same annoying behaviors from potential partners. A Reddit thread asks, “What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to dating?” and women are sharing their biggest dating dealbreakers.
- “People who back out of plans.”
- “Clinginess. I had a full life when I met you, I can’t just drop everything and spend every waking second with you.”
- “The games. So many mind games.”
- “People who brag about how attractive/how much of a catch they are during the date”
- “Men who are so preoccupied with who's paying for dinner. If they're paying it has to be a big thing, if they're allowing me to pay it's even a bigger scene. It's just money, who cares?”
- “People on dating apps who aren’t ready to be on them or don’t actually want to date.”
- “When people refuse to break up with you and instead try to get you to break up with them. If you know you aren't feeling it, just say so. It isn't kinder to pull away and be weird until your partner gets sick of it and dumps you.”
- “Insecure guys. Dudes who either go out of their way to diminish my intelligence/accomplishments or have to constantly one-up me”
- “Constantly being asked to hang out after matching on an app. Dude, I have known you for all of 7 minutes and 3 messages, I don't want to come to your house alone or go alone on a hike with you. I'd like to keep my major organs, thank you!”
- “The question "why are you still single?" I have no idea. It's not like I got a performance review from dates that didn't work out.”
