Make the date or wait?
June 21, 2016

For some time now it has always been the men's job to make the date. They are the ones to make the first approach in a bar, or to ask for a lady's number, but surely this is a relic of the past?

Research has shown that on average, men don't... more

Happy new year
January 20, 2014
Congrats all, you've safely made it into 2014! I love starting a new year. For some reason, it really feels like you can turn your mind off to all the undesirables in the previous year, and start afresh with everything good!

I've done the same with this website....

The 10 biggest obstacles on a first date


What do women like least on a first date? Below we go into many factors that put men off on a blind date.
It's always good (and useful) to know what people are looking for on a first date. And of course, it's important to know what they don't like.
The online magazine Single Site wanted to know and conducted a survey among almost 1,000 visitors to the website: What do you like least on a first date? Here are the results.

The survey showed that the smell of sweat is by far the most unpleasant. No less than 70 per cent felt that this was the biggest disappointment. Here is the full top 10 people who are offended on a first date.

1. the date smells like sweat.
2. the person opposite has bad teeth.
3. your date talks about herself the whole time and doesn't ask you any questions.
4. your potential lover spends all his time looking at other men or women.
5. your date clearly only wants one thing: sex!
6. your date is underdressed.
7. your date drinks too much.
8. the other person has bad table manners.
9. your date talks about her ex all the time.
10. their date is late.

Outside the top 10, but also undesirable on a first date, are people who only talk about their work, talk about previous dates or make inappropriate jokes. Shy people and men and women who immediately talk about their desire to have children are also undesirable on a first date.
What can you do about sweat odour?
The smell of sweat (underarm odour) is often combated with deodorants. However, deodorants only mask the smell and are therefore not an ideal solution. Washing with soap and water also has a temporary effect. An antiperspirant is better. They cover the pores and thus prevent sweating and the release of odours.

Other tips against sweaty odours on a date are to wear cotton clothes, wash your clothes from time to time (40 degrees cleans clothes but does not kill bacteria) and not to get nervous on a first date. However, the latter is not easy.

Teeth and dating
Number two on the list of biggest first date disappointments is bad teeth. Unfortunately, this is harder to solve than gaping armpits. Start your first date with clean teeth, as teeth are at the top of the list of external features women look for on a first date. Shoes and hands are second and third on this list. So make sure you have clean hands and well-cut nails, and buy a good pair of shoes.

Listen
Many people are afraid of silence on a blind date. They have the idea that they have to talk all the time and start babbling. Then they tell each other whole stories without the other person being able to intervene. However, many women and men perceive this as disinterest, as if their story is not important.

So don't just tell your own stories, but let the other person speak. Ask questions to make it work, tell your own story too, but keep it short. This way you will come across as very interested. Women in particular are receptive to this and like to tell their own stories.

These are the 10 things women like least / 10 things men like least on a first date. With the smell of sweat as the main starting material. But there's more to what women don't like and what men don't like. Check out the top ten turn-offs here.
