The dating pool these days is as messy as it gets. You meet someone, the conversation flows, you have a good time, and you might even start imagining where this could go. Then boom, something happens, and now the whole vibe is gone.
Men on Reddit shared the surprisingly petty reasons they have lost interest in a woman. We rounded up the ones that will have you shrugging in agreement, or maybe wondering how some of these things ever became dealbreakers. And if you are happily partnered up, you might finish this list feeling a little more grateful for the person who puts up with you.

Before ick was a thing, I got some serious ick from a new girlfriend over the way she laughed.
She was this super expressive extrovert who had zero shame or ability to read a room. She had this loud, obnoxious laugh and it immediately turned me off. I stuck with it for 3 months for other reasons, but in the end, that was it.

I’m a woman but I was chatting with a guy on a dating app and we had set up a date after weeks of messages, but then he asked one more question-“do you own a pair of strappy sandals” and I said what’s that? And he said sorry, but I don’t want to meet you!

In like 2013 I hooked up with this girl. We were laying in bed afterwards, and she was scrolling her own Facebook feeds. At this point basically everyone had a full QWERTY keyboard on their phone. If you had a smartphone, there's no excuse. All of her Facebook statuses were typed out like T9. Like, "Can U C if sum1 has a spare nightstnd?" Her Facebook statuses were all like that. I asked if she texted like that and she's like "ya, why?"
I tried texting her to set up a few dates. Our schedules didn't align that great and I didn't try that hard because I found trying to decipher t9 in the age of a proper keyboard to be annoying so I let it fizzle out. She announced getting a new boyfriend 2 months later on Facebook. And yes, her announcement was t9 "KEVIN ND I R DATINGGGGG" and I blocked her.

She was always using the word "infer" when she obviously meant "imply." And I know some guys would put up with that kind of thing. But frankly, I can't imagine why.

She pronounced Thai as "thigh"
Edit: I just looked her up and shes still fine AF. 39 but still single interestingly. Anyway, I regret nothing.

She admitted to not eating fruits.
Possibly related, her breath did smell frequently but it was the fruits thing that got me.

She wore sweat pants everywhere. Fancy restaurants. Movies. Bowling. Hanging out with friends.
Ugh.

She always scraped her fork on the plate when we were eating and she had a middle tooth.

She hummed. A lot. Like, so much that I kept wanting to make small talk just to stop her from humming. She was a very engaging conversationalist, but the literal SECOND she stopped talking she would start humming. The kicker? I hum. A lot. It doesn’t bother me when I do it. It bothered me when she did it.

Dated a guy who just couldn’t grasp the difference between “to, too, and two”. When he mentioned this- I regrettably tried to be helpful and said that “too” could sometimes be used in place of the word “also” but didn’t think I needed to explain that any further . He then started to respond to someone saying “thank you” with “you also” instead of “thank you too.” Or “I like that too” with “I like that also”. Okay… awkward but hey… he was trying. But eventually it was off the rails..… “That is too much to remember “ became “That is also much to remember.” “I ate too much last time we ate there” became “I ate also much last time we ate there.” ??? When I tried to explain why that didn’t work , he just didn’t get it. Claimed I was just upset that he was improving himself.
Years later I realized….… he actually must have known (intuitively?) when to use “too” because he was consistently replacing it with “also.” Idk .

I listen to lesser known artists and would share some of it with her. She started treating it like a competition and would send me songs with basically no streams that i know she didn't listen to or like.
