Women Are Sharing The Things Men Don't Realize Are A Complete Turn Off, And Honestly, Facts
For some reason, people always talk about their dating 'turn-ons,' but not nearly as much about their 'turn-offs.' If you're curious about the latter, it's your lucky day. In one Reddit thread, women shared the things men do that turn them off, and I've compiled them for you here. Ahead, I've rounded up 19 different perspectives. (Some of these are wayyy too accurate.) 1."When they start bragging about other women. I think they think it makes them seem desirable, but it turns me off." –PurpleNightSkies 2."NOT ASKING QUESTIONS! Seriously, even replying consistently with a 'what about you' is unreliable with most men." –Saltyforever 3."Talking about crypto." –UselessAndUnloveable 4."Bragging about their intelligence and looking down on and/or refusing to interact with anyone who has a different viewpoint because they deem them as 'unintelligent' or 'simple-minded.'" "One guy I knew called people he saw as dumb as 'subhuman.' That, and constantly trying to look like the smartest person in the room by finding something to debate or correct you on." –OkJournalist2816 5."In partnerships, expecting her to tell you what to do when it comes to household management and family relationships. She's not your mom. You're a grown ass adult, you should be able to figure out how to prioritize chores and how to do tasks." "If a woman starts to feel that she has to mother her partner and teach, demonstrate, or supervise every chore because her partner doesn't do a good job or forgets how every time, she will be resentful, exhausted, and she won't want to have sex with you any more, because she feels like your mother. It's very unsexy to feel like somebody's mother." –BalladofBadBeard Related: Sorry, But It's Actually Physically, Mentally, And Emotionally Impossible Not To Smile At Any Of These Pictures 6."Spitting in public. I swear that every time I'm out somewhere and see a dude and think, 'gee, that's a good-looking guy,' then he turns his head and hocks a loogie. Wtf, you guys? Stop it." –amsterdamyankee 7."Entitlement. You're not entitled to any woman's time, attention, body, kindness, or support." –totallytotallytotes 8."Dirty fingernails. I love a good set of strong man hands, but oh my god, clean your nails." –Jollybosom 9."Calling yourself an 'Alpha Male.' Please stop – it's cringey as hell, and it makes you look stupid." –Silver-Virus-8683 Related: Here Are 18 "Red Flags" That Made Women Break Up With Their Long-Term Partners, And I COMPLETELY Understand Why Marriage Rates Are Declining 10."A big truck – unless you actually use it for hauling things or work. I don't know why so many men feel like they NEED a truck." –FollowingNew4641 11."Asking for pictures early in the talking stage." –Arial_3 12."Being a bad driver or having road rage." –Lostbyway 13."Calling women 'females.' For me, that's an immediate no." –ImATattooedGhost 14."PROJECTING INSECURITIES. I had so many guys who had nothing wrong with them, absolutely projecting their insecurities on me. There's nothing wrong with your height or your face. Just go to therapy." –Gettingjiggywithet 15."Talking to me only if they think I'm single. I value friendship as the most important pillar in my life. If you can't be my friend first, I don't want to see you naked." –Aleena_Arena 16."Negging. The very millisecond a man attempts this, I will flee. 95% of men who neg aren't clever enough to make it charming, or they just out themselves as being an actually bad person." –toomanyusernames300 17."Being mean to staff or service workers. Being mean in general." –ayy_the_dank_lord 18."Complaining about 'golddiggers' and how you're never wasting money on a diamond ring – buddy, if you'd ask a question, you'd know I have a good job and bought my own damn ring with my first bonus." –Future_Usual_8698 finally, "When they don't like cats." –Traditional-Way-1302 Do you have any turnoffs that belong on this list?

B.C. couple's unusual honeymoon inspires enduring connection with family on cruise
Anna and Russ have taken on the role of grandparents for Dani and her sister. SIDNEY, B.C. — Ever since their first date, Anna and Russ Hudson have been inseparable. 'Everywhere we go,' Russ smiles, 'we're holding hands!' 'We even hold hands when we're watching TV,' Anna adds. Despite being in their seventies, the couple is young at heart. 'But at some point, we'll get old enough,' Anna looks down at their clasped hands and laughs. 'And we'll be holding each other up!'' When they first met in their sixties, Anna and Russ were single. While they weren't looking for love or expecting to find love, life had other plans. 'Oh my gosh!' Russ smiles. 'Love still exists!' After four years of 'courting,' they got around to marrying, but decided to postpone the honeymoon. 'And every year we kept saying, 'We'll do it next year,'' Anna says. Until that one year, they started losing friends and family to death and dementia. 'Life can turn on a dime,' Anna says. 'We realized, 'What are we waiting for?'' So, Russ booked a cruise, and Anna ordered a pair of custom t-shirts. One of them said, 'Our honeymoon cruise finally.' The other said, 'Only 13 years later.' 'My dad goes, 'Oh my God! Those shirts are so cute!'' Dani Bae recalls with a smile. Dani and her family were on the same cruise, happened to sit next to Anna and Russ at dinner, and formed an instant connection. 'They radiated such a beautiful welcoming energy,' Dani smiles. The feeling was mutual. So, after meeting multiple times on the cruise, they all agreed to stay in touch after it. 'It feels like we've known them forever,' Anna says. Although they live in different cities, they talk frequently, visiting regularly, and in the year since they've met, become family. 'I didn't grow up with grandparents,' Dani says they live on the other side of the world. 'I couldn't vent or cry or get advice from them.' And seeing as Russ and Anna met too late to have granddaughters of their own, they've taken on the role of grandparents to Dani and her sister. 'It makes me feel at peace,' Dani says of being their granddaughter. 'It feels like I belong in the world.' 'When they call me 'Grandpa,'' Russ fights back tears. 'They have brought so much joy to Anna and I.' While Anna and Russ — who perpetually hold hands — know it's never too late to find that love you never want to let go of, they've also learned it's never too soon to find the right people to share it with. 'Love is never old. Love is always there,' Anna smiles. 'It can expand and be surprising and bring the most wonderful gifts.'

1 Chinese auntie, 5 apps, 60 first dates
Just before the pandemic hit, I emerged from a 10-year relationship – newly single and stuck with half a mortgage, a Brompton bike bought on an impulse and a high-maintenance ginkgo tree. After giving myself four months to recover, I bounced back into the dating world, not necessarily looking for a husband (yeah, right) but to conduct what I told myself was an anthropological experiment. So yes, this is about dating. On Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, all while donning the armour of a Chinese diasporic auntie in sensible shoes and with 40-something hang-ups. Too old for bars, I launched a three-pronged plan: swing dance classes (fun, but everyone was already coupled up from primary school), community centre craft sessions (mudslinging with lovely people – all born before 1955), and the intervention of meddlesome friends. 'Divorce market is hot right now,' said meddlesome friend E. 'Asian women are ageless! Just redefine 'relationship'.' Her bold new suggestion? An agricultural economist who did Aikido. We met – I soon ran out of Aikido-related small talk. So I turned to dating apps. Five of them. Because I am nothing if not a pragmatic auntie maximising outcomes.

♈ Aries Daily Horoscope for June 28, 2025
Energy meets ambition, but don't forget to pause for a breath. Today's vibe is all about channeling your fiery drive into productive wins, Aries. The universe is handing you the mic—and people are actually listening. With your ruling planet Mars amping up your confidence, it's a day for bold moves… but only if you remember to check in with yourself along the way. Career: You're laser-focused and ready to lead. Whether it's pitching a new idea or stepping up in a meeting, you're likely to impress. Just avoid bulldozing others—collaboration will take you further than solo hustle today. Love: Single Aries? You might find yourself vibing with someone unexpected—opposites attract for a reason. If you're in a relationship, make time for a meaningful convo. Vulnerability will deepen your bond. Body: You've got energy to burn, but don't overdo it. A quick workout, brisk walk, or dance break can release tension and recharge your fire without draining your tank. Mental Health: Your mind is racing at 100mph. Take 10 minutes to disconnect, journal, or breathe. Giving your brain a mini vacation will sharpen your instincts and prevent burnout.
