Yes, it’s outdated, controlling, prude and sometimes just rude, but there are a lot of guys who will be bothered by and judge you for the following things.

Your promiscuous friend
You keep your promiscuous friend around for her hilarious stories of one night stands and getting kicked out of bars, and for that one person who will drag you out when you’re feeling down. But your guy might think you make poor choices in friends, and perhaps have a poor character, if you have a friend who isn’t exactly a “good girl.”

Your number
Even if a guy has slept with hundreds of women, he might still judge you for getting into just double digits. I know: completely hypocritical.

Who you’ve been with
Men can be territorial about women in a strange way: if they so much as know someone else you’ve been with, sometimes they don’t want to be with you anymore. It doesn’t matter if they like or don’t like the other guy—they just don’t like knowing who else has been there.

Your experimental phase
Think a guy will get excited by your stories of sexual experimentation in college with your roommate? Get to know him a little more before sharing those stories: some guys feel their masculinity is threatened if a woman who has ever been into other women is into them.

Your drug phase
It could have been years ago, but if you spent some years experimenting with drugs, some straight-laced men might think you’re just a little too wild for them. Even some guys who do or did drugs themselves might think that because they’re looking for a “good girl” to balance them out. Unfair, of course.

Not finishing college
Even if you ended up launching your own business, starting a great non-profit or opening a successful restaurant, if you didn’t finish college, some men with their noses up in the air might not want to date you all because you don’t have the degree to show off to their friends and family.

Taking some time off before going to college
Weren’t sure what you wanted to do with your life after high school? How dare you!…NOT! We barely know anything about ourselves at the age of 17 or 18, and it’s perfectly normal to want to take some time to try some jobs or travel before deciding on a college. But some guys from strict families might see that as “flighty.”

Not having male friends
Do you just love your circle of girlfriends like they’re your family? That’s great! But some guys are wary of women who only have female friends and talk to them every day: they fear you “won’t understand men.”

Dressing provocatively
Most men with any common sense love it when the woman on their arm makes every other man in the bar jealous. But men who are jealous by nature get nervous when their girlfriend shows a little skin. So even if you put on that little dress for him, a jealous man will always think it’s for someone else.

Getting drunk
A lot of men don’t want a woman who gets tipsy with her friends: they want a woman who is always in a state of mind to take care of them, listen to them or even drive them around when they are drunk.

Borrowing money
This economy is rough! There are plenty of people who need to take out loans or even get a little help from their parents, well into their thirties. But men who are perhaps spoiled, or hardcore capitalists, will judge you for not making things work on your own. Even if that would have meant you had to move back in with your parents and work awful jobs.

Gossiping with your friends
What’s wrong with a little harmless gossiping amongst friends? Well, some guys think they can’t trust you if they hear you gossiping with your besties. They just don’t understand that gossiping is how you bond, and you’d never actually betray somebody.

Passing up on a job opportunity
For many men, when it comes to jobs, it’s all about the money. Even a man who seems to care about your happiness might judge you if you pass up a great job opportunity because it would drastically bring down your quality of life. All they hear is dollar bills going down the toilet.

Not wanting kids
You don’t have to want kids to be a nurturing, caring and responsible person! But some men with an outdated mentality think you must have a cold heart if you don’t want to reproduce.
