Ways Women Scare Men Away

A list of 153 things a woman can do to scare a man away. Some make sense (in fact, I saw a few of my own bad habits on there). Some are absurb.

Higlights:
  • Bad posture- is this valid as a 'scare away early' thing? (unless you're dating a chiropracter)
  • Eat like a horse- chow down on sugar cubes, oats, and carrots?
  • Stare at people too long- not just for women; I have a male friend who does this (even in front of his very wonderful GF) and it is very creepy
  • Use pet names- ick. I hate pet names. Love me, but don't call me Pookie.
  • Use unconscious programming or hypnosis techniques- if it's unconscious, how does the man know I'm doing it to him?
  • Run into too many men that you know while on a date- does this include male family members, family friends, and co-workers? Do the men you ru into count if they are not in the same age bracket as your date (will little Billy, whom I babysat for, a strike against me)?
  • Use baby talk- I have a good friend who does this to her boyfriend in public, sometimes he even answers back in a baby voice. It is a very akward thing for the rest of us; do we join in? ignore the annoying high pitched voice(s)? (What is the ettiquite for this kind of situation?)
  • Be too intellectual or sophisticated- Are you kidding me? I'm supposed to dumb myself down so that a man is not scared or threatended by me and my big brains? (At this point I have to wonder what neanderthal wrote this list).
  • Sleep around with too many guys- a neanderthal with a fragile ago had to have written this list. As long as I'm disease-free, what does my past have to do with the man I'm with now? So I might've sleep with more people than you. Deal with it.

I like that some of these things are so absurd that you invented a word ("absurb") for it.

And for every one of these, there's an inverse: Stare at people too long/Don't make eye contact enough; Eat like a horse/Eat like a bird; have too many men friends/have too many women friends...it just goes on...

I left out nagging b/c I figured it was kind of obvious :)

But it is definately on the list.
