Here are some of the top-voted responses:

2. "Condescension, especially when he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about."
3. "Can’t do anything for himself. I’m talking basics like laundry, washing dishes, and basic cleaning."
4. "'Jokingly putting others down and then saying, 'It was just a joke!' like it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card. Ew."
5. "Poor control over their anger."
6. "Cruel to animals."
7. "Littering and lack of respect for the planet."
8. "Putting down other women to try and compliment you. E.g., 'I'm so glad you don't wear fake eyelashes and makeup like some women,' and, 'I'm so pleased you're not one of those girls that dresses like this.' Ew, dude."
9. "Constantly joking about having sex with me. I’ve legit met guys who on the first date kept making comments about how we’d inevitably end up in bed. SUPER unattractive."
10. "Lack of respect for others, especially in how they talk and treat people. It's an instant turn-off."
11. "Alpha bullshit."
"If you feel the need to say you are an alpha, you are most likely a beta."

12. "Being super negative all. The. Time. Nothing is right, everyone else is the problem, and they simply CANNOT just sit down and enjoy where they are and the people they're with. I understand where this comes from, but you've gotta learn to find your inner peace with where you're at. Things won't be perfect, maybe the store didn't have your favorite beer today or someone cut you off, but you've gotta learn to breathe and let that go."
13. "Interrupting me with a totally unrelated question or statement and blatantly not listening or showing interest in what I’m saying."
14. "Getting annoyed or agitated and not telling me why. Or randomly getting angry and never being able to take control over their actions."
15. "When a guy is rude to waitstaff or anyone in service jobs, it’s a major red flag."
16. "Not returning their shopping cart."
17. "If he treats his family badly. It's one thing if they deserve it, but treating a loving family member like shit for no reason is a huge red flag."
18. "One of the most unattractive things to me is weaponized incompetence."
19. "Not washing his ass."
"I'm a man in college and I have encountered a few non-ass washers. It's so bad that it billows around them. It's one of the worst smells I've ever smelled. It's horrible. I always wonder how the people in their life don't say something to them."
