BuzzFeed compiled 16 r/AskReddit replies from people describing what quickly reduced their attraction to a date they initially found attractive; examples included rudeness to service staff, reckless driving, poor hygiene, littering and mocking others.
Other replies described contempt for disabled or sick people, mocking others’ appearance, refusing to admit mistakes, and dismissing a partner’s interests. Commenters also cited a date who used cocaine in a bathroom, someone who refused to eat vegetables, and a man who declined to lock his apartment door because he said he could handle an intruder.
Some accounts focused on status: one commenter said a man they dated repeatedly discussed his car and later his credit limits. Another recalled canceling a date after a woman said she did not want to be picked up in a bad-looking vehicle; the commenter said this happened 25 years ago.
