Let’s face it guys, dating is hard. It is hard if you are looking for a relationship. It’s hard if your just looking for a sex buddy or a one night stand – Read The One night stands rules – . It’s just hard. While the finer sex is hard as heck to understand, there are several things men do that just creep them out regardless of the situation. If you find yourself repeatedly striking out, make sure you aren’t doing any of the following big female turn-offs.
 

Be careful how much cologne you wear.

I’m not kidding about this one. Cologne and perfume is a hazardous area for both men and women. You ever smell a woman’s perfume coming way before she gets near you? Yeah, not pleasant. There are some people who simply cannot correctly judge the amount of scent to wear. It isn’t supposed to be overwhelming or even that noticeable. No one should be able to smell your cologne unless they are standing very close to you. And no way should it be the first thing someone notices about you. Even a nice smelling deodorant can be enough to do the trick. : Read The Rules With Cologne : It isn’t about amount of cologne you use but more about the scent and subtlety of it that gets the mojo working in your favor.
 

Poor Grooming and Hygiene

I’m not talking about a well-groomed beard here, fellows. Often when a man thinks of grooming his mind immediately goes to a razor and a bottle of shaving cream and the tears begin to form for the loss of his beard before the blade ever touches his skin. Unnecessary, I say! Many women love beards and those that don’t aren’t bothered by a nice tidy mustache and trimmed beard. It’s the big gross Duck Dynasty type that tends to run women off in droves. What we are talking about here is taking a hot shower, brushing your teeth and clipping your fingernails and toenails before heading out for the big night. It seems like common sense but you would be amazed at the amount of men who want to get home from work, grab a beer and head out for their date. This is a big mistake. You don’t have to take half a day to prepare but you do have to take care of the basics and tidy up before going on a date.
 

Sex Jokes

Just don’t. Geez, really? Even if the date is a one night stand or a sex buddy relationship, sex jokes are déclassé and make YOU look like the joke. Women far prefer the debonair, classy type of guy no matter what your personal style is. This isn’t to say jokes are not allowed on a first date. In fact, quite the opposite. Being funny is a great way to relax both you and your date and put you both at ease. Joking about sex, however, is just poor taste unless you’re in the third grade.

Ex Talk

Talking about your ex on the first date is never a good idea. It makes you seem like you still carry a lot of baggage from a past relationship and no woman wants a man stuck on his ex. First date conversations should be intriguing, exciting and interesting. They should make her want to see more of you and remind her of the best parts of herself. The things you talk about on a first date don’t have to be intellectual topics or politically correct issues. They just have to be entertaining and interesting, something your ex is not.
 

Arrogance

It’s cool to be sure of yourself and have self-confidence. It’s even helpful. However, being an arrogant douchebag isn’t going to get you anywhere. Let’s be honest. Do you really think she cares how fast your car will go, how much it costs or who you rubbed shoulders with at the last business trip? No. She doesn’t. You get much farther with women by being open and honest and letting her figure out all you have going for you entirely on her own.
 

Paying More Attention to Your Phone

Cell phones and technology have progressed to an amazing height in recent years. They can do anything and tell you anything you want to know. The first date is not the time to check your email or the latest sports scores, though. Pay attention to your date. Turn your phone off, or at the very least, turn the ringer off. You’ve chosen to take this woman on a date, so spend your time getting to know her or you may not get another chance.

The turn-offs listed here are no-brainers. It isn’t rocket science to know that you have to refrain from bad habits and be courteous during a first date but it is easy to forget, especially if you are having a good time and feel relaxed. Keep your wits about you so the first date isn’t the last.
