“It’s Just A Form Of Misogyny”: 50 Male Traits That Give Women An Immediate Ick

The whole "I don't read books" thing with this weird pride about it. I mean, you don't have to be a literature professor, but being proud of ignorance is just... no.

Constantly speaking over me and belittling my opinions. An adult man who cannot disagree respectfully is a red flag.

Animal cruelty.

Being rude to others for no valid reason.

MrDeviantish:

Grandma: Good manners won't open any doors for you, but bad manners will make sure they stay closed.

How they treat women they find unattractive. As a woman on the receiving end of this it's a huge indicator into what kind of person they are.

kinziemclovin:

I like the quote "if you're only respecting women you're attracted to, you don't respect women."

pfeffercorp:

Oh god, yes. As a bit of a fatty-uggo myself, I always wondered why pretty women are okay with their boyfriend/husband/whatever talking smack about women they don't find attractive. It's like, I might have an ugly face, but it sounds like your man has an ugly heart.

Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, religious chauvinism, basically being a dumb bigot.

Watches Andrew Tate or other in his genre.

StevieEastCoast:

The visible sigh of relief and seeing the shoulders relax when you make fun of Joe Rogan or Andrew Tate on a first date is one of life's purest pleasures.

SinkHoleDeMayo:

There's a FB group I'm in and some guys there bash women, and when the women come in and say s**t about how Tate (and the like) is an idiot and listening to him is a red flag, the guys will say women hate accountability (seems to be a thing on the internet lately) and that's why they disagree with Tate, or they're wrong, whatever.
I find it amusing because women are literally there to say what they like and dislike, and these guys are acting like they know better than women. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why they're single and can't get laid and yet they continue to buy into that bullshit when it definitely hasn't improved their results.

A man that cant take intitiative. Like manchildren. The weaponized incompetance or just plain ignorant incompetence. I want a man, a grown a*s adult, not another dependent.

The moment they get worried about looking "gay". I find nothing more instantly repulsive than someone being so insecure about their own masculinity.

Embrace MAGA. It shows me that we have little in common regarding ethics and tolerance for others.

Driving like a maniac and being rude to people he thinks are beneath him.

Fair_Package8612:

The driving thing is my biggest one! I need someone who puts my safety over trying to impress me with how he thinks he can drive like a race car driver in a damn video game.

Not knowing how to do basic tasks like laundry, cooking, managing their own time etc. Adding to that, when they know how to do this s**t but don't do it. Vomit.

ETA: Talking about people who don't have any mental health issues or chronic illnesses, just straight up lazy people...

If he has a bad temper.

esoteric_enigma:

Definitely a huge red flag. That temper will be turned on you eventually, if you stick around long enough.

Sexism, treating women as lesser.

Condescension and arrogance. Those things are different from confidence. A confident man wants to lift others up.

No-Establishment7161:

Acting like he's God's gift to women when he can’t even hold a basic conversation. Confidence is hot—arrogance is cringe.

Acting "macho" or "alpha" or whatever...it's just embarrassing.

hkric41six:

Wait but is scientifically proven that all woman immediately want to have s*x with the alpha male of the pack! Just like those wild wolves we are not at all related too, and despite humans not being pack animals!

Dr_Identity:

I honestly find it fascinating how people try so hard to cover their insecurities by overcompensating with things like this, not realizing that when they act overly arrogant/dominant/controlling towards anyone with an ounce of insight and/or experience with insecure people, they might as well be wearing a neon t-shirt that says "I am so scared right now!"

Someone who can't respect boundaries.

Trying to push you into being more than friends, trying to get you to have another drink, trying to make you divulge more details on your life than you like, trying to initiate s*x when you've said you're tired....it's insufferable at all levels.

Unintelligent. No sense of humor.

A man who belittles hobbies that women enjoy. That kind of mockery screams insecurity.

Gawking over other women while you’re with them… total turnoff!
