11 Things Guys Hate about Girls ...

11 Things Guys Hate about Girls ...
By Jennifer • May 13, 2023 MD

Things guys hate about girls - if we knew them, we’d stop them, right? But after polling my guy friends (not the most scientific, but still a good idea), I discovered I already knew how harmful these things all were. Here, ladies, is a list of the top 11 things guys hate about girls!

1. Cattiness

If a good-looking guy walks into a bar, none of the men at the bar will say “bitch,” under their breath, so they don’t understand why we women do this to each other. We’re catty and mean, especially about the appearance of other women.

2. Unnecessary Emotions/emotional Warfare

My youngest brother says one of the things guys hate about girls most is the fact that everything, EVERYTHING makes us cry. Sometimes, he suspects, we use or tears as weapons in relationship warfare. Other times, he wonders why we’re crying - I admit it. Everything, including some TV commercials, makes me cry.

3. Our Beauty Routines

Most men’s morning and bedtime routines consist of a shower, shave, and tooth-brushing. Look in their medicine cabinets, and you’ll see a few basic tools and maybe a stick of deodorant. So why, they wonder, do we women have such detailed and lengthy beauty routines? And how exactly do eyelash curlers work?

***

Men often find themselves scratching their heads at the plethora of bottles and concoctions that line our bathroom shelves. Moisturizers, toners, serums, and a myriad of makeup products seem like overkill to them. But ladies, we know each potion serves a purpose, enhancing our natural beauty and taking care of our skin. As for eyelash curlers, these contraptions may look like medieval torture devices to the uninitiated, but they're our secret weapons for eyes that pop—giving the illusion of wider, more awake eyes without the need for falsies.

4. Our Weird Diet Habits

My friend Aaron says he hates going on dinner dates with women that don’t eat. He’ll sit there at the table, and watch in horror, as his date picks at her salad (without dressing or croutons of course), then picks at her main course (baked fish with plain vegetables), and washes it all down with a glass of water (with lemon). It makes him feel horrible eating his steak or burger, while she looks longingly at his real meal.

He wishes they could both enjoy a hearty meal without the pressure of dieting hanging over their heads.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Our “number”

There are two things we women are allowed to lie about, our age and the number of guys we’ve slept with. This is one of the things guys hate about girl for sure! But ladies, don’t give in. No matter how irritated your guy is with our made-up number, he’ll be even more unhappy about the REAL number, so don’t tell him!

***

The anchored belief that a woman's past entails a number that must be kept secret or minimized is both archaic and unwarranted. It's vital to remember that honesty and trust are cornerstones of any strong relationship. While some men may feel uncomfortable with this topic, it's crucial to find someone who respects your history and sees it as just that—a history that has contributed to the person you are today. Confidence in your own story is profoundly more attractive than any number could ever be.

6. The PMS Excuse

There are few things in this world guys hate about girls than how we sometimes use PMS as an excuse. Granted, they have no idea how horrible real PMS can be, or how unbearable it can be for some women in particular. But when it’s not legitimate, we really shouldn’t use it as an excuse for being nasty. Ever.

7. Our Frenemies

I myself don’t understand why we women have frenemies, but guys hate this! They just don’t understand why we keep friends around that seem to always bring us down, hurt our feelings, or spread vicious rumors about us… and they’re right! We shouldn’t keep frenemies around!

8. Our Body Image Issues

I hate my skin. I wish my hair was longer, softer, shinier. I loathe my thighs. But my boyfriends have never noticed any of these, and generally hates that I even care about this stuff. This is one of the things guys hate about girls because they just don’t understand it. They’re allowed to basically consider their bodies as transportation for their intellects. So they don’t understand that, after years of media conditioning and peer pressure, we consider our bodies as a visual representation of all we are.

9. How Long We Take to Get Ready

This one goes hand in hand with #3 (our beauty routines). Not only do we spend an hour dealing with skincare/haircare, we spend just as long picking out an outfit. Sometimes, we actually manage to get ready in a decent amount of time.... until we decide that we need to change our outfit again and again and again! Guys have it WAY easier than us but sometimes that just slips their minds.

***

The struggle is real when it comes to coordinating the perfect ensemble. A dress or jeans? Heels or flats? Each choice feels like a critical decision in the quest to nail the day's vibe. And let's not get started on accessories; they can make or break an outfit. It’s like a never-ending cycle of wardrobe changes until we unlock the holy grail of style for the day. Sure, we know deep down it might be a tad excessive, but it isn’t just about looking good. It's about feeling unstoppable when we finally step out the door.

10. When We're Jealous

Feeling jealous (with legitimate reason) isn't bad. However, becoming green with envy whenever your guy greets another female is probably not one your most-lovable traits. Guys hate when we don't trust them enough to be able to speak to women without flirting with them.

11. When We're Feeling Needy

Sure, guys love taking care of their women. There is a line, though! Guys hate when girls are TOO dependent on them. So, don't ask your man to do all the easy things that you can do!

See? We already knew most of these things guys hate about girls, didn’t we? And to be honest, these are probably a lot of the same things we don’t like about ourselves anyway, so let’s make pinkie promise to try and do better, at least on some of these. Okay? Marvelous! Or… were any of these a shocker? Or, if you’re a guy, would you like to add anything to my list?

    #8 I agree with the sentiment, but not the analysis. Classical (and popular) examples of beauty can seem hot, but giving zero “F’s” can be hotter!! Insecurity kills attraction.

    I'm in love with this guy at my school. We r friends but I really like him more than that. My friends r telling me he likes me and so r his friends. I catch him staring at me from across the room, we sit, well used to, together at lunch and he'd scooch over to get closer to me, we always talk or txt each other after school and r bogging art club together where he always sits next to me, even now. The only problem is...he has a girl friend. She is rally pretty and skinny and makes me feel crappy mentally and emotionally. She is constantly trying to change Nathan, her bf, and he's really annoyed by it. She is also the only girl in school who really gets to me when she makes fun of me. I usually brush it off, but there's something about wat she says or the ways he says it. Idk. And the worst part is Nathan sees how mean she is and he wants to break up with her, but is too nice and is afraid of breaking her heart(that's what his friends tell me anyway) wat should I do?

    I'm a girl, but the only time i get catty is when I'm in a group project. I hate working with others almost to a fault. When I'm alone, that's when my emotions come out. I keep them all to myself, and the last time i cried was when i got my heart first broken, 2 years ago. (I'm in middle school). Yeah, I don't like some aspects of my physical image, but who am i to change genetics? I honestly don't like emotional girls/women/females, which is why, in the end, i ended up here, lost and not knowing my way around the maze of love. I'm starting to like my best friend, who happens to be a guy. He's shy, and what he does often is brush up against me. He also stares, shows off, and is physically pointed in my direction often when we're in our group of friends. He makes me laugh a lot.
