Here are a few habits women hate
When it comes to relationships many men wander onto proverbial land mines. Going about their daily lives, they keep bad habits that they may not realize are destructive to their causes. No matter how innocent you think you are, if you’re keeping these bad habits there’s a good chance you’re turning your girl against you. Although women are all different, there are certain things that indicate you’re not putting her first, whether you think you are or not.

Read on for a list of habits that she secretly -- or not so secretly -- hates. 

You’re late

Punctuality is not the be-all and end-all of a good man. However, if you’re late all the time you’re certainly not winning any popularity contests with your main girl and this is surely a habit women hate. All emergencies aside, lateness indicates a lack of commitment to the plans you’ve made with one another. It also -- whether intended or not -- communicates a lack of respect and understanding for your date. 

If you’re a person who’s consistently late, know that your lady isn’t the only person your lateness is affecting. It could also be jeopardizing your job or your relationships with friends and family. Instead of continuing with your tradition of being tardy, start planning your day so you know you can be on time.

You forget

You may think that “I forgot” stands as a perfectly good excuse in life. She doesn’t agree and forgetting is definitely a habit women hate. Forgetfulness is forgivable in small doses and when the outcome is not crucial. However, a consistent and ongoing habit of missing the finer points is going to wear on those around you, including your girlfriend. 

Generally speaking, we are all good at remembering the things that are important to us (Did you remember to pick up beer on the way home? Tell me you didn’t forget your Friday night poker game?). When it comes to favors or dates we’re not all that excited about, our memory does us a disservice. This translates to her exactly how you might expect it would: that the things you’re forgetting (her birthday, that favor you promised, calling to make dinner reservations) seem not to matter to you at all. And if you keep it up, you may as well forget your girl because she’ll soon forget you.

You omit things

Secrecy can sometimes save our butts in life, but it will almost surely get us into trouble too. You think if you don’t tell her about your little slip-ups and faux pas that she won’t find out and you’ll all be happier. Well, you’re wrong. What will happen if you continue to refrain from the truth is that she will inevitably find out and will be forever distrusting of everything you say.

If you have a little skeleton in your closet, it’s much better to air it out. If you messed up, just admit it to her. If there’s some part of your past or present you wish she just wouldn’t find out, you’re better off just to buck up and let her in on it. Omitting the “little” details can quickly become a big thing if you let it.

Wait, there are still a few more habits women hate... Next >>

who freakin cares. this generation of whorish women have made it better for me. less masterbation. its all good just wrap your package cause more whores mean more stds and more women tryin to find a sugar daddy for child support. But then there are also the women that make alot of money and are good people. So choose what you want. I like whores at this time in my life ya im 23 lol. but i can see that ending and eventually finding a good girl.to each there own. life is all good no matter what

you people give men in general a bad name. why must you be so crude? respectable men wont want to marry cheap prostitutes, and in the same way women dont like crude men who resemble the male version of prostitutes.

if you want her to respect you, you have to show her respect. having a nut sac hanging out when you're visiting her family members (especially the older generation) is totally rude.

If a woman cannot express her desires or needs, then she should expect to go without. If you want something, you need to make it known. It's not complicated. If women, like Kitten, want to complicate something simple, I have no issue with letting them suffer for it.
