6 Things Men Think Women Like But Actually Don’t

4. Showing your protective side

So the chap was staring at the girl you are interested in or asking her for a dance even after she refused once. This doesn’t mean you are getting a chance to impress the girl by beating up the guy. Independent women of today know how to handle men very well and don’t need your act of bravado or a prince in a shining armor to come and save them. They in fact, get irritated with such actions and will tell you to back off and mind your own business.

5. Being a family man

This is a big misconception men have about women. They think females love a family man, which is probably true but only after they start having the urge to procreate. They want you to be a family man in the sense that you should be able enough to handle her, her family and your baby.

6. Playing the dating game

The dating game is for girls to play and men can’t become women in this space. Playing hard to get suits women, not men. What men do is, they either play hard to get by giving the girl mixed signals or being deliberately unavailable. Another mistake men also do is going too fast, saying “I love you” too soon, getting physical early on, etc. Women are turned off by these tactics. Just try to be friends first and act on it further if the girl drops hints.
