#1 Denigrating and emasculating men who show emotions. It’s honestly one of the most f****d up things anyone can do to another person. Also, using a man’s kids as pawns in disputes, like cutting off visitation because you’re mad at him. Don’t f*****g do that, it’s just cruel to the kids.
#2 One time an ex screamed at her 2-year-old nephew. Instantly unattractive
#3 Loudly empathizing with every cause and group on the planet but treating people in their personal lives like trash.
#4 Over-the-top solipsism. That whole “I don’t perceive it that way, therefore you perceiving it that way cannot be valid” mindset.
#5 Refer to themselves as a boss b***h, queen, princess, or baddie.
#6 Duckface. It’s 2023. Duckface was cringe 15 years ago but some women are STILL doing it.
#7 This girl said ‘sowwie’ to me trying to be cute, and I instantly lost interest in her.
#8 The f*****g testing.
I appreciate that you have been in previous relationships where someone lied and/or cheated on you but don’t spend your entire single life trying to catch me in some lie so you can have your self fulfilling prophecy that all men are liars.
#9 In Scotland. Obvious fake tan and over done makeup. You’re in f*****g Glasgow not madrid
#10 If they act entitled, no one wants to be drained like that
#11 Hilariously fake eyelashes
#12 silent treatment, I’ve hated it for the longest time, when you do something wrong and you try to apologize and they say nothing is even worse, just hurtful.
#13 When they think a toxic trait of theirs is cute/quirky. There’s a big difference between being blunt in a respectful way and being a b***h.
#14 Be super clingy, not have a life outside of the relationship, and baby talk when trying to be cute.
#15 Lie/do something hurtful, then play victim so you end up comforting them for what they did even tho you wanna cry Lol
#16 Baby voice
#17 Littering, Wasting food, Being very materialistic
#18 Saying dumb s**t like “ as a MAN why are you taking care of yourself?” Or “ as a MAN your house shouldn’t be so clean”. Like sorry for not being a tramp.
#19 I saw a cute girl on a treadmill at the gym sneeze 4 times and not attempt to cover her mouth once. Absolutely disgusted me
#20 Confusing confidence with being inconsiderate.

While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
