It’s no secret that relationships can be tricky, but some things are straight-up dealbreakers. Sure, there are plenty of fish in the sea, but you don’t want to be the one throwing back a perfectly good catch because of some pesky, avoidable issues.
This age-old question came up in a recent Reddit thread when u/thenamestilly asked, “Boys be honest, what makes a girl instantly unattractive?” The question saw over 24,000 responses, these were the top voted responses.
1. Entitlement
Neowynd101262 gave the most up voted contributed, they said, “Entitlement.” AhFourFeckSakeLads agreed and said that when entitlement is seen in a woman, you should, “Run like hell.”
2. Close Minded
Goodgodzilla added, “This is so true as entitlement reaches into so many areas of a relationship from considering divergent viewpoints, to sex, to finances, to empathetic action, to working as a partner et. al. You just summed a lot in one word.”
3. Being Rude or Disrespectful
Koevsocks response was the second most popular, they said, “Being rude or disrespectful without a reason.”
5. Too Sensitive
NegativeGee agreed saying, “And then when I call her out on it I get the “you have to stop being so sensitive”. How about you just try being nice, it’s not that hard.”
6. Lying
Anomaly1134 gave the third most up voted response. They said, “Lying. Being Flakey. Talking negatively about everything and everyone. Treating a server poorly.”
7. Not Punctual
Neo_sporin replied with a story, “In highschool a girl said ‘we are going over to Kenny’s to watch a movie, I’ll pick you up at 8’ I was NOT ready for the doorbell to ring at 8 AM. Married her and she haaaates this story.”
8. Not Owning Mistakes
Laussen-gram contribution was, “When she blames everyone for her own mistakes.” Mickey_thebish replied, “For me this goes with any gender. and friends to. Like no bye.”

10. Expecting Everything
MoJoRisin125 replied, “I see your roommate is one of the masochistic types that just loves it when a woman messes around him. It absolutely *baffles* me how many people there are like this out there. Men and women both.”
11. Don’t Be Mean!
Revangelion thought that “A summary of this thread is ‘don’t be mean’ and ‘don’t smell bad.’
12. Bad Body Odor
Skleppykins added, “Also, all of the qualities apply to people in general, not specifically women. I’d be turned off by a smelly, self-entitled co-worker as much as I would a smelly, self-entitled partner.”
13. Talking About Exes
JasonPassley offered, “Constantly talking about an ex, even in a derogatory manner. Let it go.”
14. Not Moving On

15. Littering
Amitybeast’s turnoff was, “If she litters. Had a girl throw a bag of trash out of my passenger window while taking her home. She called me a ‘tree hugger’ when I called her out on it.”
16. Shameful Behavior
In reply, ExWiFi69 had a similar story, “I was driving with my cousin once and they threw a whole pizza box out the window while I was driving.
I turned the car around and made them pick it up. The look of betrayal on their face since they had friends in the car. Shame is powerful.”
17. Bad Hygiene
BodegaDad response was, “Bad hygiene.” To which HardcoreShadow replied, “This. You may be very surprised just how many people forget to give their bums a good clean.”

19. Too Into Themselves
20. Being Shallow and Superficial
Redditor, Starkiller_303 offered, “Expressing how shallow you are. Someone I was attracted to said something like ‘my future husband will have a lake house and a boat.'”
They continued, “One of her friends responded with ‘…or maybe you can find the right person and then pursue that dream together!’ And she was just like ‘nah.'”
21. Screams at Everything
One Redditor thought that when the woman disagrees with you, she does it by screaming. “No thanks” they said. In reply, Clear-Ideal4231 said, “My mom screams often so screamers are a big no for me.”
22. “If You Can’t Handle Me at My Worst, You Don’t Deserve Me at My Best.”

23. Cruel to People and Animals
Another popular response, one that saw several thousand upvotes, was to say that if she treats animals badly, it was a red flag. The Redditor added that treating animals went together with treating service or retail staff badly.
24. Disrespectful
This saw another reply confirming that you could judge a person by how they treat those who can do nothing for them.
Manipulative
Cml33 suggested that manipulative behavior or playing games was a red flag for them.
Later, they edited their contribution saying, “Dunno why this needs said, but not all women do this. If you think they do, either you have some personal issues with women you should work through or you’re spending time with the wrong people.”
25. Attention Seeker
Another Redditor said that a red flag for them was if a woman makes negative comments about themselves to get people to say positive things about them. They thought that it was just a way of getting attention.
26. Conversational Narcissist
User, Redletterday94 clarified that their contribution could apply to both sexes. They said that when the person focuses primarily on themselves during a conversation.
They added, “Was talking to a girl a few months ago, and it eventually just kinda hit me just how much she talked about herself or would steer conversations towards herself and her problems.”
27. Addicted to Social Media
PeepShowIsGreatMayn felt that a red flag for them was the person, “Being a heavy social media poster/‘influencer’ – not interested frankly in becoming an unpaid photographer nor am I interested in what you had for breakfast.”
28. Flaky
Another Redditor agreed, thefourthhouse said, “I don’t even want to associate with those types of people in any way. Entirely fake to the core.”
29. Toxic Personality
User ShadowLancer128, simply said, “Toxic personality.” The sentiment resonated with many other Redditors but obviously, it should be remembered that both men and woman can have difficult and toxic personalities.
30. No Hobbies or Interests
Redditor, R_z_n said that having no hobbies or interests was something that puts them off from continuing in a relationship.
31. Boring
Laitnetsixecrisis agreed. They said, “I’m a woman, and realised last night I have no hobbies any more. I used to love reading and cooking, but now they seem like such a chore.”
32. Habitual Flirt
One contributor said that for them, “Flirting with every guy” was a red flag. They thought that if the woman was trying to make him jealous would just make him walk away.
33. “She Knew Nothing About the Outside World.”
Peterbparker86 said that “Not sure how to phrase this but I dated a girl years ago, she was gorgeous but that was the extent of her talents. She knew nothing about the outside world. It was so difficult to talk about stuff with her.”
They continued, “That’s an instant turn off for me… Oh and smoking.”
34. Enhanced Looks
KenzoAtreides thought that artificial looks such as lip fillers that made the lips look swollen like, “They just ate something allergic” put them off continuing in a relationship.
35. “How Much Money Do You Earn?”
xTacio said that for them, “One of the first things she asks is how much money do I earn” would be a turn-off. User DJEBNice replied, “Nice that they give you that red flag so soon.”
36. Cringe TikToks
Last on our list but another popular response was, “Cringe tiktoks” giving too much detail away. Perhaps somethings are best left unsaid!
