There are a lot of things men get wrong about women. In turn, there are loads of misconceptions women have about men. It's an argument as old as time; it's where legends like "Men are from Mars and women are from Venus" were born.
In reality, both men and women tend to make assumptions about the opposite gender. According to a 2024 international survey by the dating app Tinder, this "assumptions epidemic" is ruining the dating vibe. For example, 65% of women think that men only want casual flings. In reality, only 29% of men really do.
However, women get a lot of things wrong, too. Things that they think attract men might actually be repelling them. At least that's what we learned from these two online threads where someone asked: "What's something women think impresses men but actually doesn't?" If you're currently a single lady, you might want to check some of these out!

It's not gender specific, but I hate it when women are purposely dishonest with you in order to impress you. I want to know the real you so I can know what I'm getting into.

Acting disinterested to seem to be COOL.
Pingu-was-a-penguin:
I remember bumping into a girl I liked from school a good 10 years after we left and she was talking about how she used to have a crush on me yet she very strongly rejected any flirting I tried or even general conversation. I straight up thought she was disgusted by me so idk what on earth her plan was lol

Talking [trash] about other women - especially their girl friends.
Also family. I get it if you don’t have the greatest relationship with them, but you don’t have to always bag on them; it’s not a good look.

Posting luxury flex pics. Most guys just assume it’s debt or daddy’s money and keep scrolling..

Talking about how much they don't need a man. Like, I can respect that they can take care of themselves, but why are you advertising yourself if you'd rather just be alone?

I've seen some interviews with women who, when asked to rate themselves, automatically say they are a 10. And they think that answer will impress men, because, in their words, 'men want confident women.'
Nope. Being *blatantly* deluded isn't impressive or a sign of confidence. Men want a woman who understands reality.

Being a girlboss. So we will constantly be in a competition against your career when it comes to your priorities?
The girlboss trope have…”influenced”… our favorite fandoms during the last 10 years, while proudly shouting that ”men arnt needed”. We are looking for a partner to build with, not a rival to compete against. We against the world, not you verses me.

I'll probably get downvoted but your money, career, & education don't impress us I'm legit happy for you achieving your goals but it's about as relevant to us as our interests are to you.

Stating your positive attributes, but listing things women find desirable in men, i.e. good job, independent, earns lots of money etc. Some guys will appreciate this but most guys would prefer someone trustworthy, loyal, respectable, who won't nag them and likes frequent intimacy - with women like this becoming exceedingly rare.
Separately, telling a guy he is stable and secure with all your past partners not being that way. It doesn't impress us and lets us know you're settling and aren't that attracted, that we are only a stable wallet.

Being strong and independent. In the sense of being adult. Not the feminist meaning.
It doesn’t impress me if you say „I work and take care of myself“ yet a lot of women think it is special.

“I can do anything a man can do”. So can all men, but I don’t want a man, I want a lady.
