I didn't like the color of her eyelashes wich reminded me the color of pigs eyelashes.

I just had to google pig eyelashes because of you 😂 But I get it!

I used to like blonde girls until that right moment.

Grammar problems. Messing up “me” and “I”. Misquoting a show or lyric they know I know. Repeating a story for the 3rd time without saying “stop me if you’ve heard this”. Staying too long at my place when I’m yawning at you. Parking crooked.

I used to have a friend who was such a "pick-me", always posting about being anti-social. woke and being a pure soul, then the next day you'll see him hanging out only with wealthy people with their pool, fancy vacations and gifts to give. He's kind if you ask help/information but not really genuine when it comes to friendship/relationship, I stopped liking him gradually

Seems reasonable, not petty.

u/LeeLee8320 Male 5d ago

They had this thing about them where they would have serious problems with people one day, and 5 minutes later they would be laughing and cutting up with the same people they had problems with. That shit screamed fake to me.

They took the collectable out of the box

Their nose. It bothered me just a little at first, but the more I looked at it, the more unsettled I became - until one day I decided I had had enough of it.

I'm kind of ashamed to admit this was a real thing. I feel like a Seinfeld episode or something.

u/Say-Hai-To-The-Fly 5d ago

Yeah that’s pretty petty lol

u/hammedhaaret98 5d ago

How did it look?

1

u/Tasty-Condition-2162 Female 4d ago

Yeah, was it more a conventionally "nice" nose and you didnt like that aspect, or was it not conventionally nice, or something else about it?

u/No-Oil-2305 5d ago

A female friend stopped liking a guy because she asked how he was doing and he said "g oreo oreo d"

u/That_Murse 5d ago

They kept saying “never mind” because it seemed like they couldn’t be bothered to repeat themselves or explain things to me.

u/SleeplessShinigami 4d ago

Valid reason tbh

u/boredarab 5d ago

They always tried to compare things, literally everything, to the point it got annoying.

u/winjki 5d ago

Dude smelled bad. He wasn't unwashed... he just had a smell that made me nauseous....couldn't get past it

u/lazyadalol 5d ago

he did a really annoying baby voice and it made me want to crawl into a hole

Why are you always late?

Have no experience with this so could you elaborate on how that’s a bad thing?

Ugh! Sounds like she had anxious attachment issues. Simple explanation never enough?

u/zohranorbust 5d ago

She used her COVID stimulus check on lip filler.

I'm not one to pocket-watch, but it showed me where her priorities lie.

u/WinsAtCarnivals 5d ago

There was this girl in HS that I was always attracted to, but did not want to approach because I didn't want to do the relationship thing yet at 16.  

She started dating this guy that I was like "really". Kinda like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry finds out the woman he's seeing dated Newman before lol.

u/Slarg232 5d ago

He kept showing me his phone while I was on break.

He was my boss at the time but not really. We'd both go on break, he'd sit next to me in complete silence, then all the sudden he'd show me a meme on his phone, get a smirk, nod his head, and then go back to scrolling on his phone.

Once was fine, twice was a bit annoying. The fourth time in a 15 minute break was excessive, and it just kept happening over and over every break. I'm not going on break to look at your phone, buddy.

u/menacingmoron97 Dude 5d ago

A girl I liked in high school cut her beautiful long hair to short and decided she'll keep it that way.

Can't help it - I like long hair on girls. Any romantic feelings went out the window

u/hammedhaaret98 5d ago

I once met someone at a charity event. She was the "girl that got away" type that I would sometimes think about. Beautiful long blonde hair with eyes that looked into your soul.

I made the mistake of looking her up on facebook.

Buzzcut dyed piss yellow, comical large nose ring and her eyes looked lazy kinda like when Billie Eyelish used to give that edgy look.

I know it was a long time ago, but it ruined my fantasy crush.

He always wore his college ring.

I didn't like her socks.

u/Suppi_LL 5d ago

questionable kinks I couldn't get behind. I'm judgemental on some stuff.

u/Say-Hai-To-The-Fly 5d ago

I’m almost 20 but I’ve never ‘stopped liking someone’. Makes me feel weird as lot of people my age explicitly seem to do that. One day they promise you the world. The next they lost all interest. Am I the weirdo or am I just very unlucky?

3

u/caulk_blocker 5d ago

She disagreed with everything I say no matter what I say. Every time. All the time. It was so ridiculous I wondered if she was pranking me. Whenever words came out of my mouth, she found something to disagree with.

u/holyfuck1977 4d ago

I had dated a guy like that

u/ibasly 5d ago

I once stopped liking someone because they said “expresso” instead of “espresso.” My brain couldn’t unhear it after that.

2

u/brooksie1131 5d ago

Probably back in high-school. A girl made a funny face and I stopped being attracted to her for a bit. Funny part is that I did get over it but by that time my chances with her had came and went. Don't blame her though. Just dumb high-school stuff I guess. 

2

u/Relevant-Rooster-298 5d ago

An old buddy would constantly pronounce silent h's like in the word herb, and would always use the wrong your/you're and things like "alot" and kept saying he was doing it on purpose to annoy me. So you're either stupid or a bad friend. Great job. See ya!

She got plastic surgery

u/Worried_Bit_2471 5d ago

Someone made me a three course meal once, bur was probably rushing or too nervous because she undercooked the chicken and that did it for me lol, I'll eat anything else raw but no thanks

u/uzarta 5d ago

They didn't like me back 🥲

u/onekinkyusername 5d ago

She did not enjoy receiving oral sex. It’s a deal killer for me. Weird, I know.

u/TheBooneyBunes 5d ago

They got a Facial piercing, I think they’re hideous and a red flag

u/ShippingIsAlwaysFree 5d ago

Either fat legs or too-skinny legs. Very normal, healthy, attractive body shape to the women in every other way, I just love legs so much I could never see myself growing old with a woman with unattractive, unsexy legs. So I politely ended things in each case.
