" purchasing and or collecting thing , just because . Just things to have and take up space in garages , spare room , and closets . "
Recently, Reddit useru/angelicswan333asked the men of the community, “What are some reallybad habitsa lot of women have?”
Men dove right in and gave a variety of responses. They’ve had different experiences, so some of the “bad habits women have” that have annoyed them range from pretty sexist to actually valid.
So, to get both sides of the story, here are some things men claim women do that have affected them one way or another.
1.“Smartphone ‘addicts.’ I don’t date someone who’s always on social media — a woman without an Instagram is manageable. A woman without Instagram and Facebook is a unicorn.”
— atomic number 92 / gio_sdboy
" This really should be mandatory — I quit Facebook in 2009 and Instagram in 2017 . My married man does n’t use social media either . We literally never argue and are n’t delusional about our expectations for each other . ' Social ' culture medium really ruins lives , relationships , and marriages . "

2.“Weaponizing abreakup. When a girl does that to me (even if she doesn’t mean it), I take it very seriously. You want to give up on the relationship just like that? Fine, but don’t use or threaten me with the word ‘breakup’ if you don’t mean it. Breaking up should be the last resort, if anything.”

3.“Thinking they’re more attractive than they really are, and having their friends affirm this false belief and then becoming delusional about it.”
— uracil / stompywomp
4.“Talking too much about money/desired lifestyles within the first couple of dates, even on your profile. A lot of men don’t want to be seen as an ATM with a penis, and those who don’t mind that are more likely to see women as disposable. So, it really exposes them to a potential lose-lose situation.”

5.“Buying and/or collecting things, just because. Things that are never used, and were never intended to be used. Just things to have and take up space in garages, spare rooms, and closets.”
— u / poopinion
6.“Most of the women in my life have simply never said they were sorry about anything. If they say something mean to me, and I get any type of emotion over it, they immediately get defensive and tell me I’m being too sensitive. Then they flip it around on me, and I’m the bad guy.”

" You mean S.I.G.N. ?
disgrace . Insult . guilt feelings . want to be right . "

7.“Not being able to accept the truth about how men feel.”
— uranium / Warm_Gur8832
8.“Actively pursuing men they are not attracted to, then blaming them for it. Cheating and treating them badly for not being good enough without the men having any idea why.”
— uracil / Turbulent_Ad_4403
9.“Not respecting privacy or any privileged information. Anything you tell her or show her, you arealsotelling her friends.”
— u / mule_roany_mare
10.“Testing you — asking or doing something just to see what choice I make (my fiancé answered this). Both of his ex-girlfriends did that A LOT. He told me about it before we dated, so I’ve always tried to not ever do that.”
— u / xtinarinaldi
11.“Always making excuses or saying I’m not good enough. ‘It’s always my fault’ is usually the typical response from most females when you confront them about anything. Women: Just own up to your faults and mistakes, and quit trying to make a production out of everything you get questioned on.”
— uranium / airbornethic
12.“I’ve never had a girlfriend admit they were wrong, and it’s the exact thing they have said about men for decades.”
— u / TxAthlete42
" I ’ve had a lot of adult female say something verifiably false . I provide the correct information and they say I ’m amiss , duple down , and do n’t let it go . I get the answer with check and somehow I ’m in the wrong for question her and ' give to be ripe . ' "

— atomic number 92 / CarlJustCarl

— u / TheLandFanIn814
17.“Everything my wife does is a gift from heaven. Everything I do is expected, and still not enough.”
— atomic number 92 / thecountnotthesaint
18.“Her being upset = my problem, me being upset = my problem. That, in turn, causes her to be upset (which is then also my problem). Basically, I’m not allowed to be upset or angry, it’s not valid, and I need to ‘fix’ myself.”
— u / Junglestumble
19.“Willingly give criticism, but not being able to take it.”
— u / GoneAWOL1
" I get an uttermost subject of this . My x could n’t take it when I asked if I could comment and she said ' yes , ' only by and by to still squall , get angry , and blame me for it . She also had a radiation diagram of deliver critique my agency over ideas and I did n’t say anything . "

20.“Being too indirect in communication and passive in relationships.”
— uranium / huuaaang
21."‘Main character’ syndrome. I don’t think it’s intentional, but I see it so often. I wonder if it’s something new or I’m just starting to notice it."
— uranium / thumbwrestleme
22.“I don’t know if a lot of women have this habit, but I know of a few cases where they’ve weaponized sex. Some of my buddies' wives or girlfriends will use sex as a weapon in order to coerce certain behavior.”
— u / kevfefe69
23.“Aligning the truth to theiremotions. They will reject facts as the truth because it doesn’t match their feelings, which is ‘their truth.’ Basically as their feelings change, the truth changes.”
