Women seem to notice everything that is "wrong" with another woman. They can easily spot any makeup disaster, ugly hairdo or a tacky outfit. But what about men? Will those who understand nothing of fashion or feminine things also notice when a woman is ill-groomed?
The answer is yes. Most men can tell when a woman is trying too hard. Here are 13 things they dislike the most:1. Extreme hairstyles
A woman with hair full of volumizing product and variously placed bobby pins walks into the room. You think she will attract the attention of all the men at the party. Will it attract attention? Yes, but not for the reasons you want. Most men prefer long, loose, soft and silky hair, not sticky hairspray and hard gels.2. Masked faces
Make-ups is used to hide imperfections, fine lines and blemishes. However, it should be applied as a thin, even layer, and in a shade that blends right in to your skin. Overuse can make it look like you came out with a layer of clay on your face. When applied correctly, no one should be able to tell that you are hiding imperfections on your face. Remember, less is always more.3. Sticky eyelashes
You know that effect when a woman uses too much mascara — her eyelashes all stick together and smear black with each blink. Nothing about that look is attractive. Use good quality mascara that dries quickly and does not smudge. After applying, use an eyelash brush to remove any excess off of your lashes. Men love beautiful and expressive eyes, free of black clumps.4. Too much glitter
If you are not a professional makeup artist, it is probably best to stick to the matte shadows. They adhere better and are less likely to concentrate in the crease of your eyelid.5. Yellow teeth and bad breath
Yellow teeth and bad breath are not attractive to anyone. If you struggle in this area, you should realize that the source of the problem is probably found in poor hygiene. Or maybe you need to cut back on the coffee, black tea or red wine, or lose the cigarettes. Whatever it is, address the source of your problem, and try adding whitening toothpaste and dental floss to brighten your smile. Lozenges or sugar-free breath sprays also help a lot.6. Lack of body care
Poorly manicured nails, hairy legs and unshaven armpits are major turn-offs for men. Poor personal hygiene cannot be hidden by makeup and nice clothes.7. Dry or oily skin
Yes, we men do notice. The sight of a dried heel, oily face or peeling skin is a warning to "back off." Don't expect to turn him on with cracked lips.8. Primping in public
Men are not interested in knowing your tricks to become more attractive. Put on your makeup at home and don't fuss over it in public.9. Dark lips
Lipstick is a great tool to make your lips more beautiful and defined. But beware, if misused, the lip liner pencil can become your enemy. When going out for dinner, use a lipstick and liner close to the color of your lips. Dark lipstick colors have the awful tendency to smudge onto your teeth while you are talking or eating — not a pleasant sight for those who are watching. Also, remember that dark lip liner paired with lighter lipstick leaves an aged appearance.10. Perfume overload
Excesses are always a bad idea. Remember, the more expensive the perfume, the less you should use. The cheaper the perfume, the less you should use. So try to put a drop only in certain points such as the neck, behind the ears and wrists. A little bit of a good perfume is plenty.11. Ms. Know It All’s
When woman act like they know everything and no matter what you say it’s wrong it gets irritating for us men. Why can’t they listen to others before making rash statements and choices? We have no idea, but it’s unattractive as hell.12. When They’re Impatient
We all know women are impatient, but sometimes they take it to the extreme. From telling you what time to be at a restaurant 5 times a day, to yelling at you if you took 5 minutes too long to get ready to go out somewhere, impatient women are just not cute.13. When They’re Drunk
Drunk women are terribly unattractive. I mean, who wants to see a grown woman on the floor, puking her guts out? Not to mention the tripping-over-because-she-can’t-walk-in-heels that will surely ensue once she stands up.***
