23 Men Share The ‘Annoying Behaviors’ They Absolutely Won’t Put Up With In A Relationship
"Girls who think they're doing me a favor by letting me date them. Nothing worse than them thinking they're more important than you."

1.
If I can’t be myself around you. I don’t want to pretend to be somebody else, to be able to be with you.
2.
Girls who think they’re doing me a favor by letting me date them. Nothing worse than them thinking they’re more important than you.
3.
When they can’t give me time to myself. Just because I need some me time doesn’t mean I hate you, I just need my own time.
I could never spend every minute of my life with someone, and if an SO can’t accept that it’s a definite deal breaker.
4.
Creating unnecessary ultimatums. “It’s either x, or me”.
X it is.
5.
Spending half their time on their phone when we’re hanging out.
6.
Girls who pretend to be stupid. Who the fuck finds that attractive?
7.
Don’t talk about your ex-boyfriends. Seriously, I don’t want to hear about them. Once you’ve been dating for a while it’s fine to bring them up and share stories, but in the first few weeks of dating it really makes it seem like you are comparing and contrasting the time you spent with them and the time you are spending with me.
8.
Making plans and then they flake out. Also when texting and the conversation turns to hanging out and all of a sudden they stop texting. I’m done after that.
9.
Trying to make me jealous. It works, but I’ll never let you know.
10.
Baby talk. Don’t do that.
11.
When I do most of the talking, I’ve got to start and continue all the conversations…it’s like you’re dating me so I can entertain you. It’s horrible.
12.
The slightest hint of passive-aggressiveness.
Say what you fucking mean. Have an issue? Spit it out.
13.
Drama. Oh my god, drama. Zero patience for that. I refuse to date someone who has a big cloud of trouble lingering above them wherever they go. I once dated a girl I dreaded bringing around my friends because I knew she’d end up mad at one of them for one stupid thing or another. Fuck that.
14.
I hate it when a girl doesn’t want to try new things. I had an ex who wouldn’t watch any movie made before 2000 just because. C’mon, have some variety.
15.
The constant insecurity, no matter how many times I tell her she is fucking beautiful and sexy and the only woman I can think about she tells me I’m full of shit, WELL FUCK ME FOR TRYING.
16.
My biggest deal breaker in a woman is when she is perfectly happy to abandon all her gender roles, but expects her man to retain all of his.
eg “No I’m not taking your last name when we get married, that’s a stupid tradition that needs to stop. But you still need to spend 3 months of your pay on my ring.”
Equality works both ways babe.
17.
Her not treating me well, and dismissing it as being cute or funny.
I used to tolerate it but in retrospect, fuck that. My new girlfriend treats me SO well, and that’s one of the reasons why I know she’s a keeper. And of course I reciprocate!
In the end, that’s what I’ve managed to figure out. It is all about how she treats you, in action and in word, and both people having a sense of reciprocity. That’s what makes it great!
18.
Playing hard to get or treating me like an option. I’d rather you be clingy than flaky.
19.
When a woman declares she “knows what guys want.”
20.
Girls who get angry when I don’t answer my phone. I don’t sit around and hope you call all day long. I’m gonna miss a few calls once in a while…I suggest you get over it.
21.
Lack of compassion. If you can’t respect other people that aren’t as fortunate as you, I can’t respect you.
22.
Girls who treat “time spent with them VS time spent with your friends” like an all-costs, point scoring game. The winner of which, automatically and indefinitely receives the majority of my love.
23.
Lack of self control. If we go out and you get completely wasted, fuck that.
