Men Speak Out About 6 Things That Made Them Lose Interest in Someone

RELATIONSHIPS

As much as it is essential to know what is attractive in a partner, it’s also helpful to be aware of significant turn-offs so that issues can be avoided.

An online community of men reveals ten things that made them lose interest in a romantic partner.

One person shares how he lost interest in a woman after she started being less responsive via text and email. She would also leave out significant details of her plans, making this member think the relationship “isn’t worth putting up with.”

Lack of Communication

We all have our quirks, but overdoing the weirdness to appear more interesting can be plain annoying. One man was thrown off when a woman kept insisting she was “weird.” Saying you don’t like pop music or “girly” things only makes you a try-hard.

Self-proclaimed Weirdness

There’s nothing better than a partner who is mature and wise. Hence, when one commenter realized he had mistaken a woman’s lack of intellect for her being mysterious and exciting, they were disappointed to discover she was just “plainly stupid” a few months into the relationship.

Maturity Mishap

“To me, the single most attractive feature a girl can have is that she’s into me, and when I start doubting that, it gets pretty emotionally exhausting for me to put effort into the relationship,” shares one member. Such low effort can be shown through inadequate communication, lack of initiation, and poor planning.

Low Effort

No one is really a fan of feeling like a “backup plan” in a relationship. As one person comments, “Constantly reminding me that I’m one of many options is not a motivator for me. Oh really, I’m an applicant in a pool of 10?” It won’t be too long before it’s reduced to a pool of nine.

Second Place

While confidence is an attractive attribute, being borderline narcissistic doesn’t settle too well with most commenters. Self-centeredness in a partner who’s constantly thinking about themselves can make the other party feel neglected and even disrespected. The needs and wants of both sides are equally valid.
