Not long ago YourTango came up with a list of 5 Things Men Don’t Like About Single Women. Here’s are list of 5 Things Women Don’t Like About Single Men:

1. Passivity. There’s a reason why women go for the so-called bad boys—all you nice guys are too afraid of hurting “her feelings” if you said no once in a while. But come on, does she really wanna pick where to have lunch every day? Quite frankly, no. And it doesn’t really help if your answer for “So, what do you want to do today?” is “Whatever you wanna do,” following by a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders. Sometimes, women want the men to take charge because, well, isn’t that what men should do? (Last I checked, men had more testosterone in their bodies). So next time you get blown off for being “too nice,” don’t blame the bad boys for snatching her away; take it as code for “I wonder if you’re really interested in me.”

2. The Ego. Hi, nice to meet you. You’re John? Oh, great, I’m Lexi. You do what? Impressive. You met who? That’s so cool. You just got promoted? Nice, just the other day—Your new car? Oh, well, I think—You wanna show me your abs? Really? Hey guys, newsflash. Women like to be impressed, sure, but if they get the impression that you’re trying to impress them, major turn-off. No woman wants to be with a man who talks more than her, that just violates the fundamental rules of homeostasis. So as much as you think that she’ll be blown off her feet once you show her your guns, why don’t you put those arms around her shoulders and listen to what she has to say?

3. You Care…Too Much. Women love that men care, but if it gets to the point where you’re calling her more than her parents and BFFs combined, we have an issue. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in 21st century, and women today have this gene of feminism that turns itself on when you’re all over her. So stop bugging her about why she didn’t answer your phone calls, she definitely wasn’t cheating on you. And if you ask to see her text log, consider this relationship finished.

4. Bad Hygiene. Word of advice: women get a visit from Mother Nature once a month and that already makes them moody enough. So if they’re going to find out that you’re Mother Nature personified, well, honey, you’re not getting that second date. Even the most lax woman cares about cleanliness and although little things like not washing your hands after a number two or brushing your teeth every other day may seem trivial at first, I guarantee that they’ll slowly build up until she explodes (and 9 chances out of 10 it’ll be that time of month for her as well).

5. Hypocrisy. Yeah, we know, everyone’s a hypocrite. But what women hate the most is when men drive them to the ends of the Earth over something that they do themselves. Don’t criticize her for splurging on a too-cute pair of Jimmy Choo pumps (that are on sale, by the way), when you probably just spent more than twice that amount on your new 52-inch hi-def flat screen TV. And that’s not even counting how much money you spend on your iPhone apps every month. It’s true women aren’t the greatest species out there, but then again, neither are men.
