35 Small Things You Noticed In A Person That Made You Lose Interest

One guy I dated had Ralph Lauren for pretty much every article of clothing. Shoes were Sperry and he would only buy a brand of sunglasses that were at least $250. He asked where I shop and I told him I go for the clearance rack at old navy, American eagle and other mall kind of stores. It was like I punched him in the gut. “Oh. Well, we will get you in some better clothes.” It made me feel like a doll who needed someone to dress her.

He picked me up in a bright yellow sportscar. Who needs a car that flashy? It’s just obnoxious.

I gave this dude a super simple recipe for stuffed jalapeños. It calls for cream cheese, jalapeños, and bacon. Super simple, right? He took it upon himself to mix the cream cheese with NACHO CHEESE. I didn’t know this until he complained that it was too watery and it didn’t stay inside the pepper, which turned out to be SERRANO peppers, which are tiny compared to jalapeños. AND THEN he had the audacity to ask me angrily why I hadn’t told him the peppers were spicy, because he had scratched his eyes and they were burning. I literally stopped talking to him right then and there.

He made sound effects when he ate. Not sound from him chewing. Sound effects as in, “nom.” It may have been endearing when you were 5, but not now when you’re 30

Social media addiction. If she posts everything she does online and feels the need to document her whole life, I want no part of it. I’m talking extreme stuff. When she’s basically got an alter ego on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter.

He told me thinks it weird that women take up gaming when it’s such a male oriented product of advertisement and because of that he thinks women need to have a underlying reason. Like, they want attention, they want to prove themselves in a male enviroment, etc. He couldn’t understand wanting to play a game because they like games. This was said very casually while I talked about a game I enjoyed. I was kinda actively pursuing him at the time and it was such a strange “oh…nvm then” switch in my brain.
