Ten Reasons Men Are Rejected by Women

Men, have you ever wondered why your first impression wasn't a very good one when you tried to strike up a conversation with a lady? Or why you didn't make it past the first date? Well, I may have some answers for you. First impressions are very important. Even though I haven't been on the dating scene for quite some time, I came up with ten reasons why I wouldn't be interested in a guy after our first encounter. They are in no particular order. Since I'm in my 40's, this relates to men in my age bracket. I'm certain I speak for the majority of women in my age group. The younger generation may have other reasons why they reject men but some of these have got to be on their list also. Rejection can be very devastating, so take notes.

#1 - Bad teeth

Fellows, if you have a decent job then I'm sure you have dental insurance. Use it! I know I'm not the only woman who would run away from a man with a mouth that looks like transformer action figures at war. Most of you men would feel the same way about a woman who was tooth-challenged so don't deny it. Women prefer men who have all their teeth; that is, teeth aligned in the right direction. Rejection can be avoided just by having at least 24 teeth (and not in a checkerboard pattern) in your mouth.

#2 - Foul breath

Please, please, please always keep some breath mints or gum on hand if Listerine doesn't quite work for you. Better yet, get a diagnosis from your doctor to see why your breath smells like a sewer. Seriously, sometimes medical attention is needed. If you start to notice people turning away from you as soon as you open your mouth, then you may want to have that checked out. Just think, you could have avoided rejection if you had only made that doctor's appointment.

#3 - Dress attire

If you're over 30 and still wearing a throwback jersey, you should ask yourself why? Dress your age. Women want men who are confident in themselves. If you are dressing like you did in your teens, this says you have not let go of your childhood. The last thing a woman needs is to be a mother to someone she's dating. Let go of the tennis shoes with the built in skates, otherwise you're doomed for rejection.

#4 - Conversation

Oftentimes women meet men who they find physically attractive, until they open their mouths. When you meet a woman do not monopolize the conversation with tales about your ex-girlfriend, ex-wife, why you're a failure, why people are jealous of you, etc. If you're talking about an ex anything that's a turn-off. Remember, there are always two sides to every story. Try to have a stimulating conversation. Have a conversation about a recent event to get the conversation started. If you're fortunate to have a second date then you can gradually add more personal things into the conversation. First you should get to know more about this person likes and dislikes so keep the conversation interesting. It's surprising how much you can find out about someone by just talking in general. Another thing, profanity isn't attractive unless you want to be rejected.

#5 - Your residence

How do you bring up in a conversation that you're 40 and you live with your mama? The only acceptable reasons you should have for residing with your mother is: she's on her death bed, close to death, or you're a special needs individual. I know there can be other reasons for you not to have your own place but, please, living with your mama? Be a man and get your own place. I wouldn't talk to someone who told me he was living with his mother out of convenience. Besides, if a man has always lived with his mother then he is really looking for a mother figure in the women he dates. No woman wants to, literally, replace your mother. You would definitely be the one that got away if I had met you. Rejection is your destiny until you leave your mama's house.

#6 - Relationship with mother

A very important factor that will tell a woman how a man will treat her is the relationship he has with his mother. If you are disrespectful and rude to your mother, why would you be any different with someone you're dating? If you're insolent to the one who gave birth to you, this should tell any woman to keep her distance from you. Rejection is written all over this.

#7 - Employment

Employment is the main ingredient in most budding relationships. Some women may let you get away with some of the other rejection reasons if you have a job. Any decent woman who is about business shouldn't let you approach her without being employed. How would you pick her up for a date? Bus? You couldn't take a taxi because you wouldn't be able to pay for it. And surely you don't want to go on a first date and have her pay for the meal, unless you're less than a man and don't care about a woman paying your way. I can hear you saying, there are desperate women out there who would take anyone, jobless or not. If a woman isn't rejecting you when she knows you're jobless, then you may want to find out what's wrong with her.

#8 - Kids

If you're in 48 or over, you shouldn't have kids three or four years old out there from a previous non-marital relationship. You're too old for baby-mama drama! If you meet someone your age, I can tell you she will flee before you get a chance to ask her to help with potty training. Seriously, if you already have the little ones, then it's too late for you. Stop dating. Take care of your responsibilities and start dating again in about eighteen years. You'll be finished with child support and will have Social Security and retirement income then. I heard the dating scene is great in nursing homes. Rejection is very rare there.

#9 - Speech

Know your native language. If you speak English then speak it well, otherwise enroll in a speech class. There's nothing more annoying than meeting a man who can't speak. If you've had a stroke then that's understandable, it may take you a while to get your speech pattern back. All others; learn the only language you've known! We don't need another Alvin Green out there. Do you want to join him in the rejection arena?

#10 - Annoying behaviors

When meeting someone for the first time do not: pass gas, pick nose, scratch crotch, or any other annoying behaviors. These very distractive actions show you have absolutely no class at all. I know from experience that you men hold off on these behaviors until you're married; after a few years you can care less about your wife's rejection of you.

I didn't mention body odor, but if you are haunted by this issue refer to reason #2. The same advice applies. If you're consistently rejected by women then closely review these rejection reasons and see if any apply to you. There is a disclaimer-some women may not be bothered by any of the above. If you meet one of these women, don't worry if you suffer from any of the above because you have met your soul mate. Men, please govern yourselves accordingly.
