I'll start: My ex used to make fun of me for putting sunscreen on my face every day. Like… sorry I have sensitive skin and don’t want to look like a leather handbag at 40? 😂
He got a piece of egg stuck in his beard during breakfast on a romantic weekend away. I was like, "I'm dumping him as soon as we get back." And I did. 😂
If they get stupid ass cars that are known to not last, I’m turned off. Like why are you spending money on a low value necessity..
Edit: I noticed my comments post under “unknown member”. How do I change this? I’m not trying to hide, and I don’t remember messing with my settings or privacy..
Yes, LOL. I'd hope he'd have even more knowledge than me about selecting a good car. What's the point of having a man in your life if he doesn't have that type of knowledge?
Walking in front of me or subtle put downs at my expense are big deal breakers for me now. If there’s any sign of malicious insecurity like little digs through unfunny “jokes” I’m walking away without explanation. I honestly think people’s quirks are normal and forgivable but their intentions are everything. If a man is insecure it’s impossible for him to truly be a HVM, he will act like an actual bitch or a bargain bin mean gay Regina George ripoff instead.
The sunscreen example would fit into this too for me because it shows their intentions: tearing you down for having the ability to care for yourself while they remain useless dusties.
When they unpromptedly compare women to men’s issues framing men as victims or suffering more by saying stuff like “women get so much more fashion styles than men” it means he probably has severe insecurities and hatred for a mother who neglected him. It’s on his mind for a reason. It’s usually a pick me boymom who birth and brainwash these dusties, imagine her as a MIL, there’s a surprisingly high amount of them. They usually can’t be HVM because their pick me mom had no standards so there’s not even any good men around these them their entire lives, they may crave men intimately secretly because their pick me mom ran off their father.
This is why I try to see how he treats his family if he treats them terribly or has no boundaries he will use you as his punching bag for his family’s bad behavior. He will tolerate the family because he’s not mentally strong and a weakling who serves pick me mommy and may choose her over his own children. It’s sad but they use the women they date as a stand in for their shitty mom to use as a resentment funnel while he soothes the pick me mother because these boy moms program their dusty sons to be their emotional boyfriend robbing the child of their identity, I stay far away this type of dusty so any small tiny sign of it I am attuned to, I stay away from them they usually become narcissists because their pick me moms turned them into a golden child.
When they walk ahead of me I used to get sad and stressed trying to keep up, now I let these boymom dusties get lost ahead and lose me. I used to stress but now they end up looking incompetent and stupid for losing track of me, it’s so funny. Thank god for FDS
I've always hated it when men walk out of sync with me! Always behind, too far ahead. Totally aloof that I'm even there... cannot stand this and you're right that it's very stressful. It's a total deal breaker for me, too.
Walking ahead, it’s definitely pathological because their response when confronted is ALWAYS gaslighting: “you walk too slow,” never “I’m sorry I’ll slow down for you”.
I saw a TikTok calling this behavior out and a bunch of gaslight comments, all scrotes, were like “we just have long legs” or “just walk faster” that if they were forced to care for a child they would lose them because that child “couldn’t keep up”. It’s a subtle sign but I do believe it indicates something is deeply wrong with them
The guys who did the walking behind were doing it as a two-fold tactic with me: 1. Pretend he's looking out for me while back there 2. Stare at every chick on the street and appear single at the same time (all things I can't really see since he is behind me).
Honestly, I think any guy who is doing either is keeping you disoriented in some format... it's never a good sign and I think, usually, a sign that you're being abused. The act itself is not quite abusive, but signals that this guy is messing with your head.... it's why I won't put up with it anymore. The men who did this to me were also abusing me in other ways.
Whenever I’d show something I was really proud of, he’d always insult my accomplishments. I remembered when it first started, and I carved a pumpkin and I showed it to him, and he insulted my hard work. I remembered feeling so sad, and my friend was like, why are you so rude? Looking back it was probably the biggest red flag.
Listening exclusively to female musicians, especially "ones you've probably never heard of." I'm a musician myself, but I can smell from a mile away when men fetishize the idea and don't genuinely appreciate the music. They only like the artists for their looks and it gives me extreme ick.
Not actually a tiny weird deal breaker, at least to me.... But the women around me acted like it was. After a few months, an otherwise great man I was dating went on a bizarre racist rant against black people. We're both white. I blocked and ghosted him.
The next day, I discussed what happened with two women I worked with. They acted like it was a tiny issue that I should have overlooked... and they were both women of color!
The black woman gave me a strange look and said, "He was just feeling comfortable around you..."
The Mexican woman said, "If he was as good as you said he was, I wouldn't have done that..."
So yeah, apparently racism is a tiny weird deal breaker. At least to pickmes.
Those pickmes are on another level of pickmeism. I’m shocked to hear that women of colour think a white guy being racist isn’t a big deal. Women like that are truly sick in the head.
With the erosion of standards in general society, racism, too, is being re-introduced without the shutdown it would have been met with previously. What's worse is that it's also being accepted by women of ethnic minorities who want to date white men. If my white boyfriend said anything remotely racist, I'd be done with him in that instant. It is extremely self-hating to give white people a pass because you're dating them or they're your friends and yet I hear this more and more. It would be the same of anyone expressing any sort of racism but it is so loaded in a Western country and within a heterosexual relationship with a white man.
Maybe trying to breed a false sense of familiarity and intimacy. I think this is even in PUAs tactics and some RP stuff. Our favorite word to hear is our own name.
He made a "mhhh" noise after every single bite while he was eating at our first date.
So fucking annoying. I could never spend my life with a person who does that.
He got a piece of egg stuck in his beard during breakfast on a romantic weekend away. I was like, "I'm dumping him as soon as we get back." And I did. 😂
I still want to hurl even thinking about it. 🤢
When he talked to me in a cutesy voice like if I was his pet. Ew.

I’ve been sunscreen year long since I was 23.
Whenever I’d show something I was really proud of, he’d always insult my accomplishments. I remembered when it first started, and I carved a pumpkin and I showed it to him, and he insulted my hard work. I remembered feeling so sad, and my friend was like, why are you so rude?

this one guy used to constantly shit on women for putting on makeup and one day accidentally admitted to wearing tinted sunscreen.
Plus when i saw him, he had the most insanely gel-packed comb over to hide his balding head at 23.

honestly just them existing stresses me out
He called me by my name every other sentence.
