As a woman, what annoys me most is when he talks about other woman or talk about where to make new friends..

May add more later
When you say he talks about other women, do you mean ex girlfriends or other girls he's interested in?
And with is he just flirting or really interested, what do you mean? Like is he just flirting for fun but he has no interest in seeing you. Or do you just feel like he's acting friendly and you're not sure if he's that interested. He's not being forward enough?

That's an interesting one, I'd never thought about that.

Would love to know what everyone else is dealing with and what you find difficult.

Thanks guys!
For me, THE most annoying thing that I've encountered from guys I've dated in the past is them presenting themselves as they TRULY are.

It's not only annoying, but it's a HUGE time gobbler to date a guy for weeks (or months), only to find out as time passes - and when they think they have you reeled in - THEN they show their TRUE colours...

For me:

Flaky women
Ghosting (seriously, just say we don't mesh and be done with it)
Having to initiate everything (Right there with you Diss)
Mini-golf (lol seriously, I hate it. Whoever thinks this is a fun date activity please try and explain it because I absolutely hate this)

And I guess as a counter, having women think that just because I talk to them that I want to date them. (Really I don't. I'm just being friendly/social.)
Yea ghosting is a pet peeve of mine too. Do they ghost early on, like in the first few dates or first date? Or do they still sometimes ghost even after a month or two?

What's the part of initiating that sucks? that it couldn't work or that it'll fail or something else? or do you just hate the effort of it?

Haha yea mini golf can be fun but it's not that great, maybe if it's your girlfriend as a change of pace thing to do.

Yea online dating is definitely a numbers game, which can suck sometimes. What did you send that they don't respond to if you don't mind me asking?

Don't tell me someone invited you over for dinner and then made Calamari!

Kidding, Yes fake people are truly, truly annoying. I know people want to put their "best face" on in the early going, but to me that always seemed phony. If that's not who you really are, then when you're no longer being on your best behavior it just feels like a lie you've been portraying during the courtship phase. In situations like that I'm usually left thinking "who the hell are you and where'd the person I spent all this time getting to know go?"

Meeting physically very good looking, highly educated, articulate, professional women and there being no chemistry.

I've never had a one and done, so can't speak to that. It's more the ones that either want to do a slow fade weeks/months into things or they give you their number, talk to you for a bit, then stop responding. That's probably one I should have added. Women who give out their number with no intention of any sort of follow thru. Just say no, it's not that hard. (As a caveat I do understand those that fear a guy will go all psycho if they refuse to give him their number, but that's a whole different issue.)

Initiating - it just gets to be tiresome after a while. I don't want to have to plan everything all the time. If you don't have any ideas but want to do something, say that. If you just want to be "pursued" say that too so I can stop wasting time and find someone that's not juvenile like that and you (generic) can find a guy that's into that sort of thing. I grew out of that ages ago.

There are a lot of little things, but the most frustrating thing for me is having to be the bearer of bad news/telling a guy it won’t work. It makes me feel horrible. But I don’t want to lead someone on. This is worse when I met a man, saw he was a good guy, I liked him, but we were a bad match (for example I met guys I really liked before I met my boyfriend, but all were looking for a wife/to get married).

I’m done with dating. If anything happens between me and my boyfriend, I’m done. Not because I hate men, but because I can’t imagine anyone a better match for me than my boyfriend (I always expect a man just like him) and because I hate the process and don’t want to go through the search ever again.
