The most cringe-worthy things a woman has said or done, according to men.
First Impressions Always Matter!

1) “One time in college I was standing in the elevator in my dorm and this girl just stares at my feet and says ‘You have really nice toes’ I saw her in the elevator a couple weeks later and she says to me, ‘Hey you’re the guy with nice toes.'”–
2) “Five minutes after meeting a girl for our first date, we sit down and she looks a little off-put, almost annoyed. I asked her if she had a bad day and she responds with this amazing little charmer: ‘When we texted I told you I like champagne, why would you be here drinking a beer and not have the decency to get a bottle of champagne?’ I told her to go screw herself, got up, sat by the bar and started finishing paperwork for my job.'”–
3) I’m at the movies with my girlfriend, standing out in the lobby. Another girl that I knew from years ago in school spots me from the distance and approaches us as she exclaims: ‘Oh my god, [my name], is that you?’ I respond, ‘Yep. Hi [her name].’ ‘Is that your girlfriend?’ ‘Yep.’ ‘You’re still awkward.’ She then runs off to her movie and my girlfriend starts cracking up. Apparently, she agreed.”–
4) “I was sitting alone at a bar around 10 pm on a Wednesday night. About one drink in, an intoxicated soccer mom sat down next to me and blurted out, ‘I’m old enough to be your mom, are you single?’ She must have been mid 40’s, I was 24.”–
5) “‘I can’t wait for you to meet my mom. Would it be weird if your kid called me mom? Let me look through your phone to get to know you better.’ All of this from an internet hook up I didn’t even hook up with, the first night we met.”–
6) “I met a pretty girl at a fast food place, flirted a little, got her number and then returned to work. I called her later that evening and during the conversation, she said, ‘I still talk to my ex but the only way I’d ever go back to him is if he kidnapped me. You would come save me if he did that, right?’ Needless to say… I am proud the correct head won the battle that day.”–
7) “After a first date meal, the girl asked me, ‘Can you help me pay my boyfriends car payment this month?'”–
8) “I went to my best friend’s father’s funeral this week. A girl we’ve known since middle school also showed up. She’s in our group of friends and has had a crush on me for over 5 years. We ended up sitting next to each other and standing next to each other outside. During the burial, she started picking lint off my suit and asking about my dating life. This is literally as my friend’s father is being lowered into his grave. Nevermind the fact that she’s been in a relationship for 2 years, and that I just got dumped before Thanksgiving by the woman I truly loved.”–
Absolutely No Need To Be Rude…

9) “I approached a girl in a nightclub, said hi and she instantly responds with, ‘Oh God. No thanks,’ with a look of disgust. I stood there awkwardly for a few seconds thinking what the heck do I do. So I just turned around and went back to my friends. The funny part is I wasn’t even hitting on her. I was actually approaching her to tell her that the guys behind her were laughing. Why? Because she was in the middle of an overflow and was showing the whole bar. So I sent my female friend. She immediately says to her, ‘Omg tell your friend I’m not interested.’ I see my friend try and get the point out but the girl tells her to leave her alone. The whole time everyone is looking at this girl’s dirty pants. At that point we just let her have her embarrassment. She deserved it. She discovered her red flag about an hour later. When she finally let a guy approach her, and I’m not ashamed to say I laughed along with everyone else when she ran out of there the same shade as her pants. She could have avoided it all if she wasn’t so up herself.”–
10) “I’m a very muscular young man and once when I was about 24, a lady of probably 45 years tried to ask me a question (I was working retail) but she couldn’t finish and finally blurted out, ‘God that shirt cannot contain you,’ with a look on her face that made me very uncomfortable. Middle-aged women have done similar things to me several times.”–
11) “A girl I vaguely knew from school once sent me a Facebook message asking, ‘Why do I feel like a loser every time I see you?’ I replied that I was sorry if I’d done anything wrong etc, honestly very confused. She responded that no I hadn’t, it’s because I was so perfect! It was written out full of ellipses and was one of the most awkward things I’ve ever read lol, no idea why she sent it I was never an incredibly good looking teen. It’s probably still on Facebook in the endless old messages.”–
10) “In our library we have booths which are really comfortable and really hard to find a seat on before an exam I showed up to university at 6 am and found my self an empty booth and started studying with my legs across the table and around 10 am this girl and her friends show up and tell me to move as I was alone and there were so many of them. I tell her sorry I can’t and this girl straight up says that says that move or I call the security over and tell them you have been threatening me.”–
11) “One time, in my Junior year of high school, this girl I’d never talked to before came up to me during rehearsal and said, ‘I bet you have a really nice belly button,’ and just walked away. Like, it wasn’t an observation. Somehow, through extrapolation of my observed features, she determined that I had an attractive navel.”–
12) On an app like Tinder: Me: ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ Her: ‘Not bad, but you have the same name as a recent ex and I can’t go down that road again. Sorry…’ The chick didn’t even ask how I was doing!”–
13) “I’m a very muscular young man and once when I was about 24, a lady of probably 45 years tried to ask me a question (I was working retail) but she couldn’t finish and finally blurted out, ‘God that shirt cannot contain you,’ with a look on her face that made me very uncomfortable. Middle-aged women have done similar things to me several times.”–
14) “It was pretty awkward when I was at work and a lady in her 40’s asked to talk to me. I sat down, and she said, ‘I’m not sure how to say this… But you know my daughter? She wants to date you.’ I stammered and had no idea what to say. Her daughter was not in good shape, and the most socially awkward creature I had ever met. I told the mom I was interested in seeing different women every weekend. A fabulous lie for a 17-year-old man who hadn’t more than kissed a girl before.”–
15) “I was at a bar with my guitar-playing friend, sitting at the end of the bar away from the stage, watching a different band play. The bartender brings me a double shot of tequila, with the fixings. He leans over the bar, and says, ‘This is from the lady at the end of the bar.’ She’s nice-looking. I begin the ritual, and just as I’m raising the glass to her in salute, she stands on the rungs of her chair, leans over the bar, and shouts at the bartender. You know how sometimes during a live show, there’s a moment in the music where there’s a beat of silence? The music’s too loud for conversation, so when the music stop, you can hear a pin drop, even in a good-sized venue. So there she is, standing up, this good-looking girl, shouting in the voice intended to carry over the band, in that moment of dead silence…’Not him – the cute guy next to him.'”–
No One Likes Snobby Or Judgmental People…

16) “My friend which I had a huge crush which she didn’t know about, randomly said, ‘You’re a nice guy, but you’re not tall enough.’ My confidence dropped.”–
17) “I was hanging out with my friend and one of her friends. My friend is this sweet girl, pretty awkward. Her friend was rather fat and obnoxious, and I had been annoyed by her all day. My friend decided that now was the time to try and set me up with her friend. While we were all three sitting next to each other. The way she decides to delve into this topic is. ‘So…You don’t have standards, right?’ It’s not how she meant it to come across, but there it was.”–
18) “I worked at Forever 21 at the time and a woman comes in with he baby in her arms. She was asking about a dress for going out in and I helped her. I then go back to my work when I overhear someone talking to her saying, ‘How old do you think he is?’ ‘I don’t know go back and talk to him.’ ‘Hold (forget the baby’s name).’ She proceeds to find me and ask me my name and age. When I tell her 21 she says, ‘You’re still too young for what I want to do.’ I don’t even know what she meant because I was legal age to do most things.”–
19) “She told me that she didn’t like cats and that I had to choose between her spending the night or keeping my cat. As attractive as she was, the cat stayed – she left.”–
20) “I had a woman on the first date tell me: ‘Oh, I am glad you are a pretty big guy. This way you can beat up my ex-husband and the weirdo ex-boyfriend that I dated next pretty easily.’ Ugh.”–
Clinginess Isn’t Attractive To Anyone

21) “After a first date meal, the girl asked me, ‘Can you help me pay my boyfriends car payment this month?'”–
22) “‘Happy 1 week anniversary!’ This was coming from a friend, that I had slept with the week before. She actually made 100% of the moves that night. All I had to do was say ok and give her the code to my door.”–
23) “The girl said, ‘I already bought your birthday present, so you can’t break up with me until at least after your birthday.’ We’d been dating for three months, my birthday was still two months away, and I broke up with her a week later.”–
24) “I was visiting some friends in college one year and went to a party with them. We had been at the party about an hour when I started talking to a pretty cute girl in the living room where everyone was playing a game. After about an hour and several drinks, she turns to me and says, ‘Guys around here aren’t like you, you should move here.’ I took it as a joke and she followed that with ‘I’m being serious, move in with me I love you. I feel like you’re my soul mate I want to marry you.’ I was trying to be nice so I simply told her, ‘No you don’t, you’re just out of it.’ She then got hysterical started crying and yells out in the middle of the party, ‘Why won’t you love me! Why aren’t I good enough for you, what’s wrong with me?’ Up until this I assumed she was there with friends, turns out she doesn’t know anyone and since neither do I everyone assumes we are together at that I am being a jerk. The guys playing the game get in my face about why am I being a jerk to her and the girls all start comforting her telling her she deserves better and that she should forget about me and dump my sorry-self. I had guys threatening to beat me up, because of a girl I didn’t know being hysterical that I didn’t want to marry her, interesting night.”–
25) “I met a girl at a bar, ended up hitting it off and went on a few dates. After the third date, she invited me to sleep at her place. The next morning I had work, so I rushed off, leaving my phone charger. Told her I would swing by to pick it up after I got off. Get to her place, follow her upstairs to get the charger, she aggressively throws me on the bed, sits on top of me and says, ‘Now you can never leave.’ The look in her eyes as she said it is not one I shall soon forget.”–
26) “I was living in California for my first job and knew no one. I joined some dating websites, the big ones, and then some smaller ones. Starting talking with this girl and then took her out. Wow, I should have noticed the red flags in the first date but oh well I try to see good in people, turns out she was legit crazy (acute schizo). Okay! So we are on I think our 2nd or third date and I am just driving her to dinner in my car and she says, ‘Do you Love me?’ OMG it was the craziest most awkward thing I had ever heard in my life. I literally started like spitting up kind of insinuating how crazy of a question that was. I was like in awe and avoiding the answer. ‘DO YOU LOVE ME?’ she asked again… I’m like wtf is going on. I kid you not, at this point we are driving 45 on a 5 lane road, she opens the door and tries to jump out of the car. I swerve off, grab her and the door, somehow don’t wreck and end up near the curb like WTF WTF just happened in my head. She hops out the car and just starts walking across the street, THROUGH TRAFFIC, like a total zombie not looking at cars or anything. I am freaked out at this point but I obviously have to help her, so I am walking in the street after her, trying to flag down cars which almost hit us and they are honking and yelling and crazy. I try to grab her and she starts screaming bloody murder. So now I look like some physcho chasing this poor girl across the main road when really I just don’t want her to get hurt. She made it across the street but I still couldn’t do much. What I ended up doing is grabbing her phone and saying, ‘I’m calling your mom!’ and when I said that she somehow came back to reality… sat down and cried with me. I eventually got her back to my car and the night went on fine (seriously). I probably should have ended the relationship at that point but man I am an idiot sometimes.”–
Creepiness And Harassment Won’t Impress Him!

27) “This one girl once asked me, ‘Could I have a vial of your blood so I could wear it around my neck? I think it would be romantic.’ Nope!”–
28) “I met a girl on Facebook in high school (she messaged me), and later that day after we’d been talking a little bit, she messaged me asking if I was at the mall wearing an orange shirt (or something like that) and it turns out she knew exactly what I was wearing down to the color socks I had on and asked if she came out from hiding if I’d marry her. I said no and never heard from her again. It’s been like 4 or 5 years now I think?”–
29) “I had a girl walk up to me and say, ‘You look exactly like one of my friends back home.’ (This was at college) I responded with an ‘Oh really?’ She immediately followed up with a ‘Yeah, I took your picture a couple minutes ago and sent it to some of my friends to show them.’ I walked away.”–
30) “A new girl at work (like she’d been there for 2-3 days) introduced herself and asked if I was single. Then she asked if I was interested in getting married and if I wanted kids. I found out later from her own admission she was actually asking if I would marry her and have kids with HER. She was a little crazy and really wanted children ASAP. She ended up being taken up on that offer by a much much older coworker. I guess kudos to her for being upfront/straightforward with what she wanted.”–
31) “I was at the grocery store with my then-girlfriend who was pregnant and we ran into an ex of mine. My then-girlfriend kept shopping while I talked with my ex for a minute. The ex looks around, looks at me, and says, ‘That baby should be mine.’ I gave her a thumbs up and walked away. Never saw her again.”–
32) “My buddy and I met two girls at the roller skating rink in 9th grade. He immediately hit it off with the cuter of the two while I was socially forced to be outgoing toward her friend (who was a nice girl, but not my type and clingy from the second she introduced herself). My friend gave our phone numbers out (without my approval) and this girl called my house 5 times a day for the rest of the week. I broke down and called her back to tell her I wasn’t interested and she went quiet for a full minute before asking ‘You’re dumping me?'”–
33) “I was at a wedding. During dinner, this girl I’ve never seen before comes over to the table where I’m eating alone. She sits down across from me and says, ‘Can we just, like, not talk?’ I found it odd but figured maybe she was going through something. I’m like, ‘Sure,’ and I continue to eat. After about a minute of sitting there not talking she says, ‘This… isn’t working for me. I can’t do this,’ and she gets up and leaves. I shrugged and continued eating. I presume she went off and continued drinking.”–
34) “So, I dated this girl for a bit and she seemed nice if not a little odd. But I guess I was young and into the whole manic pixie dream girl thing. She tries to tell me that she is from the bloodline of the Pharaohs and she is essentially an Egyptian Goddess, then she talked about animal sacrifice like she had done that for rituals. I’m all for being open-minded about others beliefs, but I backed away from that quickly.”–
35) “During the first lecture of a university course, I had a girl sit beside me and say, ‘Hi my name is Miracle. My mom named me that because I was supposed to be born a boy with no stomach! Nice to meet you!'”–
36) Two weeks into a flirtationship- ‘I told my mom all about you and we agree that the person I end up with for the rest of my life would be named [T-name] I only ever date [T-Names]’ followed by a long list of reasons as to why I was perfect. She had a hoodie in my car so I asked her to meet up so I could give it to her and to break things off. We met up a few days after the weird mom text. Breaking things off conversation went something like this: Me – ‘Hey so I think that you’re way more into this than I am and…’ Her- ‘HOW COULD YOU JUST FEED MY HEART TO THE DOGS?! YOU RIPPED IT OUT AND THREW IT TO THE DOGS!'”–
There’s A Line Between Honesty And Too Much Truth

37) “I dated a girl who was CONVINCED that I was married and hiding a secret family from her. Any evidence I provided to prove I wasn’t only strengthened her belief that I was. We dated for several months before this all came out during our first real argument.”–
38) “I was my brother’s wingman after meeting these two girls in Dublin. They both were cute but the friend of the girl my brother was talking to just wasn’t my type. She was also a good couple years older than me. Anyways, being 19 and in Ireland, I was plastered. We were in a pub, not a nightclub when this girl pulled me into the middle of the floor and wanted to dance. The situation is already extremely uncomfortable, since this was not a place to dance. Also, I can’t dance. And I was really out of it. Then she just starts talking about how all her friends have kids and how she just wants to be a mother and nothing else matters. So there I was, 19 years old, in an Irish pub, while awkwardly dancing slash trying to run away from this chick that was essentially begging for me to give her a child. The awkward finale was when she looked at me and said, ‘I don’t even need you to be a father figure. We don’t ever need to see each other again or for me to know your last name. Deal?’ I was frozen in fear before my brother finally rescued me to leave.”–
39) “In high school a girl asked for my number. I never met her before but she wasn’t completely hideous so I said okay and gave her my number. Anyways, during our first phone call, she said the reason she liked me was that I reminded her of her ex. What the heck, man. Anyways she was kind of crazy so nothing ever happened.”–
40) “I met a really cute girl at a house party and ended up in a spare room with her later that night. While messing around she starts telling me about how she has very ‘traditional’ views about relationships and marriage and believes that the female in a relationship should stay home to cook and clean while the male works, and blah blah blah…I think my response was something like, ‘Ok?’ because I had no idea why she was telling me this. A few seconds later she grabs my wrist and brings my hand up around her neck and squeezes her neck as if to tell me she wanted to choke her. It was a weird night. I then saw her two days later at a bar and she pretended like she didn’t even know/recognize me. That chick was crazy.”–
41) “I was outside smoking behind a psychiatric hospital where I’ve been staying for treatment when a new girl came outside and started talking all about her daddy’s money. It was weird until she told me how she wanted to stab all her family members in their sleep. I asked if she loved them and she said yes, but she still thought it would be fun to kill them in the order of how much she liked them from most to least. Needless to say, I sleep with my door double bolted now.”–
42) “Five minutes into a first date with a girl I’ve never met before, she starts going on about her ex-boyfriend. Her: ‘All of my ex-boyfriends were addicted to drugs.’ (looks at me expectantly) Me: ‘Uh. Well. I’m not addicted to any drugs.’ Her: ‘…oh.’ (looks away with disappointment). Never heard from that girl again.”–
43) “I once dated a girl with kids for about a year. She was really crazy, but I overlooked A LOT because sleeping with her, was amazing. When I went to break everything off with her the first thing out of her mouth was, ‘If I got rid of the kids do you think we could work things out?'”–
