In the modern “hook-up” culture, there's a blurry area between what guys expect a girl wants and what girls actually want. Well, I may not be able to speak for every girl’s opinion on this matter, but I can almost guarantee this list will be a helpful guide of what every girl certainty wants you to stop doing.
1. Stop making empty promises.
All they do is make us cry and make you look like an asshole. Help us help you.
2. Stop calling us “hot.”
It’s an empty compliment. Give us more substance. Too often I hear guys call girls “hot,” followed by a “but,” and then some lame excuse of why she isn’t perfect for some reason.
3. On that note… Stop expecting us to be perfect.
We have our bad days, our crazy days, and our straight up ugly days, but you do, too. Side note: wearing makeup doesn’t make us fake, and not wearing makeup doesn’t make us nasty, so stop complaining either way.
4. Stop texting us at 2 a.m saying "U up?" or "What are you doing?"
Nothing good happens after 2 a.m. And we are probably sleeping, so goodnight.
5. Stop talking about how many hours you spent at the gym.
Or that you’re skipping leg day. Chances are, you shouldn’t skip it, and we still don’t care. If you look good, we won’t complain, just shut up about it.
6. Stop calling us “dude.”
We are not your dudes. Unless we’re actually buds, then it’s cool.
7. Stop calling us crazy.
We aren’t crazy, you just scare easily. Or better yet, if we really are crazy, that’s a sure fire way to get your car keyed or tires slashed. You’ve heard “Before He Cheats” haven't you? Preach, Carrie.
8. Stop making excuses.
Even if we pretend to believe them, we’ll always find out the truth.
9. Stop teasing your friend who is in a relationship for being “whipped.”
I bet that girl you’re trying to bring home with you is wishing she were his girlfriend right about now instead.
10. Stop checking your phone when you’re with us.
It’s different when we’re with our friends, but when you’re with us put the phone down. If nothing else, eye contact will increase your chances of getting lucky. In the words of DJ Khaled, major key.
11. Stop assuming we know what you want.
Or what you’re thinking. We’re not mind readers. You have to speak up.
12. Stop talking about past hook-ups.
We will not sleep until we find her on every form of social media and determine whether or not she is a threat (no matter how many times you say she isn’t).
13. Stop letting your fears get the best of you.
Being scared isn’t always a bad thing, but channel that fear into confidence. Girls always like a confident guy who’s not afraid to tell us what he wants.
