6 Sure Ways to Kill a Man’s Interest Online
it’s hard to believe that a woman is capable of killing a man’s interest online, but it can happen. Most men are visual creatures, so it’s hard to rock their vision of a beautiful lady, even if you show them your bad hair day picture. On the other hand, messing with their emotions or challenging their mental prowess is a sure way to stop these visual creatures in their tracks. Here are five ways to kill a man’s interest online…whether for educational purposes, or to help trim down your friends list.
1. Being Mean
Men are basically boys at heart, so they can’t stand when they are punished, snubbed, insulted or undervalued. While men do enjoy a challenge, and do love it when women play hard to get, too many women go to the extreme and become downright evil in their responses. Lighten up a little on the guy…it’s not against the law.
2. Unfriendly First Impressions
It’s not just the body men notice—it’s the facial expression. Happy women, even smirking women get the most responses. Women who stare at the camera, scowl, or generally look unhappy are probably going to be passed up by a guy who’s just looking for fun. A smile is not just a good look on you, but is the all important signal that says “Yes, come on!” This also applies when it comes to the first response. A friendly hello is far more welcoming than a cold one-word response.
3. Neediness or Over Sharing
Be careful about saying too much or needing a guy you just met too much. While neediness and desperation are usually turn-offs (desperation implies something is wrong with you), over sharing shows that you are self-absorbed. No guy wants to hear your horror stories, your past relationships or your last bad date—especially in the first conversation. Control your urge to spill and tell yourself that “tomorrow is another day.”
4. Over-Filtering or Self-Involved Descriptions
It’s a smart idea to filter out the wrong types of person, but there’s no need to be spiteful about it. Don’t insult people that annoy you on your profile description. Also, avoid using an excessive number of “I wants” and me me me statements. A woman should not merely demand to be loved but show the world what makes her unique and lovable.
5. Social Awkwardness
Whether you are politically incorrect, like “baby talk”, use weird expressions or get angry over minor incidents, any type of social awkwardness can kill a handsome guy’s interest. A guy is not looking for much in a profile picture…he just wants to know that you’re not insane, a stalker, or the worst date of his life. Socially awkward comments could give you away.
6. Game Playing
Don’t fall for the game playing, and turn what could be a fun romance into a series of psyche outs. If you are interested in a man there is nothing wrong with showing your interest. If you back away too far, a man will probably conclude you don’t like him and thus ends the affair. (He probably figures you’re too mature for games) At the same time, you must control your emotions so that your interest doesn’t take over your life and turn you into a phone monster that won’t die. Have a life outside of your love interest and take romance one step at a time, at a comfortable pace for the both of you.
Yes, there are things you can do to turn a man’s interest off. So don’t take a good starting relationship for granted! Keep your wits and poise, and make this a lasting romance!
