#3 Gifts. Giving gifts just to impress a girl used to be attractive. Now, it just feels weird when a guy you hardly know starts showering you with material things. Some women find it wasteful, while some find it insulting.
There are those who will gracefully accept these gifts, but they will just chalk it up to your generous nature. It will not give you a VIP ticket into her pants.
#4 Bad Boy Persona. Unless a woman has abandonment issues, your bad boy persona won’t serve any purpose. Nowadays, women do not want to be involved with someone with risky behavior. It’s not even cute anymore. Women see through assholes and the way they work. We value ourselves more, which means treating us badly won’t get you anything but a kick in the you-know-what.
#5 Shoes. The only ones who are impressed with men’s footwear are men. Women do not want to be involved in the trappings of the Shoe Game or the Sneakerhead community. If you look good from top to bottom, that’s good enough for us. We do not need to know the price of your shoes, nor do we need to know who wore them last. We’re more interested in our own shoes, thank you very much!
#6 Gadgets. Men love gadgets all by themselves, but there are some who consider them as tools to impress women. They aren’t even concerned about what their phones, tablets and PC’s can do. The point of showing off their new toys is to emphasize the fact that they have money, and they will use it to buy whatever they want. Impressive? Not likely.
#7 Popularity. Let’s face it. We are not in high school. Women are not attention-seeking children who want to date the most noticeable man in the crowd. They want your attention, not the other way around.
Using your popularity to get women seems a bit childish, not to mention vapid. Your motives might even be questioned due to your approach. If a woman does admire you because of your social status, then maybe you’re the one who’s on the losing end.
#8 Hair. Men take great pride in their hair – and this includes facial hair. There are those who take great pains to make their mane look good, while some are blessed with perpetually sexy bedhead. Some don’t care at all, but those who care too much tend to think that it’s the only thing that women care about.
Appearances are important in certain situations, but you hair will not carry you through any endeavor. A woman will appreciate your attention to detail, but she will hardly notice your hair if she’s engaged in a great conversation with a guy she genuinely likes.
#9 Athleticism. Strong man = good man? I don’t think so. Women are entertained by sports. But they don’t use it as a standard when choosing a partner. Unless you are a professional athlete and it’s your job, the most your athleticism can do for you is give you a boost of stamina as you carry around your girlfriend’s stuff.
