Women can be the most magical, wonderful creatures on the planet, but at the same time, they can drive men right to the loony bin. It doesn’t matter how beautiful, smart, witty, and sexy a woman is, there are certain ways they act that will send men on the next flight to Timbuktu. Here are some things that women do that make men run away. They are universally understood to not only be major turnoffs to most men, but they are also potential deal breakers, even when everything else in the relationship is completely compatible. Let’s take a look at the big ten:

1. Act Jealous. When a woman is jealous – not just once or twice – and not when there is a valid reason, it can be the death knell to a relationship. Jealous behavior is ugly and destructive and truly is the sign of a deeper problem. That bigger issue is a relationship destroyer. It could be that the woman is so insecure that she truly should not be in a relationship until she figures that out. Or, it could be that a lack of trust between the couple exists for possibly larger reasons than just the man’s behavior. Whatever causes it; it is a definite red flag and can end relationships in a heartbeat.

2. Flirt With Other Men. This is pretty obviously a bad move. It is rude and disrespectful and probably will make the man doubt his ability to trust the woman.

3. Talk about Marriage and Kids to early in the relationship. During a conversation, this topic might come up and opinions might be asked and shared, but prolonged emphasis on this that is one-sided is usually a deal breaker. It’s a whole different ball game if both parties are on the same page discussing their future plans together, of course.

4. Withhold Sex. Sex should not be used for power and control. It is manipulative and childish.

5. Nag. Nobody wants to be around someone who is constantly complaining about all the things that are wrong. If it’s that bad, then leave.

6. Act Selfish. People who are exceedingly self-centered are not worth wasting time upon. Your own needs will never be fulfilled and you will end up as unhappy as the selfish person must be to act that way.

7. Be Overly Materialistic. This is another sign of inner turmoil and unhappiness. Most people who are obsessed with materialism haven’t quite figured out what the good things in life are made of – primarily relationships, which are free. This person needs to evolve some before they are ready to truly be a good partner to someone else.

8. Put You Down. Nobody should stick around a partner who is overly critical and puts you down. No relationship is worth putting up with disrespectful behavior from the other. There are plenty of other people out there who agree.

9. Take You For Granted. This is just another form of disrespect. It is better to be alone and have your self-confidence intact then to stick around and have someone shred it for you.

10. Act Dishonestly. This should be a no-brainer. Why spend any amount of time with someone you can’t trust?
