Don't Flirt With Dad
"Flirting with my dad when trying to make me jealous." –Serious-Wrongdoer999
Ok, this one has to be a joke, right? What girl would seriously flirt with her boyfriend's dad? We really hope this didn't actually happen.
No Baby Voice
"Baby voice. Just no." –Lumpyalien
It looks like men really, really hate it when women use a baby voice in a "romantic" way. This is something that everybody should stay far away from.
Ogres Have Layers
"When they take a human appearance over their natural ogre appearance looking at you, Fiona.” –mvdenk
Ok, we love this commenter. Are you team ogre Fiona or team human Fiona?
Word Games
"My current girlfriend would purposely bring conversations to a dead end to see if I would keep talking to her and bring up new topics. She was interested in me and was trying to find out if I was too by continuing to talk to her."
"However, it came off as she is not at all interested in me and did not want to continue talking to me. Please don't do this to anyone ever." –ScarilySmug
Don't Be Stupid
"Acting dumb." –cnnispoison
Yeah, smart women are way sexier than dumb women. It's nice to know that you don't have to dumb yourself down to be accepted by a man.
Don't Play Games
"Intentionally difficult-to-read signals of interest. I don't consider myself dumb at all, but I’m no genius either."
"If it feels like I’m trying to decode hieroglyphs with you, I’m probably gonna give up." –Rakanadyo
Be A Good Person
"Putting other girls down. Gross." –AL3XD18
Women should support other women. It's nice to know that this is something that's important to the men of Reddit too. Just be a good person!
Don't Make Comparisons
"Don't compare us to an ex, even if we have a bigger ****, you’re just building paranoia that we're constantly being compared to someone else." –nnahnhoj
Yeah, this isn't a nice thing to do to someone.
Don't Be Toxic
"When they think being crazy is like a positive or attractive thing. Like “Yeah I punch my boyfriend if he doesn't pay attention to me I’m quirky lol". Like no you’re just toxic."
"Abuse isn’t funny when women do it, and I wish we’d quit normalizing it. Granted, we’re getting better." –Dookuwasaboss
Be Yourself
"Being anything other than genuine."
"It's really hard to do, since we’re all scared that if we let people see our true selves, they won’t like us, but the truth is that the true you is the most beautiful you." –Big_Happy_Smiles
Improve Your Communication Skills
"Basically any intentional misdirection. Like playing games, hard to get, only hinting towards feelings, never saying anything, etc."
"Like I don't think I’ve ever looked at someone and went “oh, they can’t communicate at all, god I wanna date them".” –Blujay1217
Don't Play Hard To Get
"Playing games and hard to get. I want someone who wants to be with me. Also, I'm not gonna get jealous if another guy flirts with you."
"If anything, it makes me feel good knowing that you want me over some guy I see as more attractive than myself." –explodingterminals
Frost Those Tips
"Pretending to not notice me. This trend has caught on something fierce after getting my tips frosted." –CapitalGains42
Are you sure that Guy Fieri didn't write this post? That guy knows a thing or two about frosted tips.
Don't Be Dramatic
"Being ultra-dramatic up and down. To be fair I think this works when young women do it with young guys, it draws them in."
"But as guys emotionally mature and figure out what they want out of life it becomes more of a red flag than a “manic pixie dream girl" situation. The female equivalent of the “bad boy.” –lcl82
Be Genuine
"Don't fake interest in my interests. If you don’t like football or video games just say so." –Biggestnerdhere
It's not a great idea to be fake. The person you're with should love you for you.
Current Trends
"The Kardashian look. Pumped up lips and a disproportionately large butt are a huge turnoff for me. It's just not natural." –37corecneps
To each their own, I guess. Some people are actually into the Kardashian look.
Give Him Some Space
"Girls being toxically controlling and overbearing, like a girl not letting her bf have any time to himself and always have to know what he's doing."
"And then when you try to see what she’s doing she blows up in your face. Why do girls think that makes them look cute?" –LigmaMelon
You Can Be Comfy

Hold Onto Your Eyebrows
"Drawn on eyebrows. makeup as a whole is fine, but shaving off your eyebrows just to draw them on just turns me off." –LordCorporation
Men sure seem to have a lot of opinions about makeup...
Eat Your Fill

Don't be afraid to eat your fill, ladies. You're human. We know that it takes more than two french fried to make you feel full.
The Problem With Fake Nails
"Fake nails/super long nails in general." –Ysara
Fake nails can be nice if they're a manageable length, but when they get really long and unnatural looking, men seem to have a problem with them.

It's best to keep the chocolate syrup out of the bedroom.
More Baby Talk Issues

Don't Be Jealous

Too Smelly
"Wearing too much cologne/perfume."
"All you need is a dab of ascent on your neck or your wrists, and the scent shouldn't be so overpowering that others can smell you from a mile away. The scent you wear should be subtle, but noticeable." — Professional-Tower76

Say It Like It Is

"Communication is the key." —meh84f
