Ahh, if only men could only overhear women’s conversations about what it is that turns them off – they would at least have a clue about which mistakes to avoid. Remember that one of the most common mistakes that women have when it comes to men is that they’re usually clueless when it comes to what they want.

Naturally, you would want to make a good first impression. You don’t want to come off as being too boring to make small talk with – but you don’t want to appear too stuffy, either. Sometimes, it’s the way that you actually appear to them which instantly becomes a turn off. These might sound like too many things to remember – but you cannot deny the fact that women are truly complex creatures that even the casanovas of the world sometimes have problems attracting them. An approach which works for one woman might not work on another. Basically, your best bet would be to avoid some of the most common mistakes that men commit when trying to get the attention of a beautiful woman.

The drunken overtures. Sure, you already know that the twentysomething bar is the best way to meet and mingle with single women. If you’re merely getting your feet wet in the dating game, you might rely on your drink for that splash of confidence. This is perfectly fine – but make sure that you’re not too sloshed before approaching a woman. You wouldn’t want her to get turned off by your whisky-smelling breath or not understand a word that you’re mumbling because you’re too drunk to speak clearly.

What you need to do is lay off the alcohol. Sure, you may be in a bar setting and you are nursing a bottle of beer because you’re out to have fun. But this does not mean that you need to gather all your courage from alcohol. A couple of drinks is probably okay, but make sure that it’s only enough to make you loosen up. Never approach a woman when you already reek of alcohol, or if you’re already slurring your words or can’t walk straight.

Moreover, be conscious of your appearance. As mentioned earlier, the first thing that you need to work on if you want to be a master in the dating game is leaving a great first impression. Remember that women take hours to primp and dress themselves for a night about town – even if they’re simply out to have fun with their girl friends. If you want to have any chances at all of attracting women, make sure to exert the effort to dress nicely.

The sloppy dresser. You may not have given this too much of a thought – but when you see a woman looking all nice, hot and primped up when going out with their girlfriends, they looked like that because they exerted the effort. As a guy, you need to return the favor and spend some time grooming yourself, too – and actually spending some time to think about what you’re going to wear. If you do your best to look good and not be the sloppy dresser who turns women off, then you’ll have better chances of having a hottie leave the bar with you at the end of the night.

Not making good conversation. In a world where women easily get tired of men engaging in boring small talk, it definitely would not pay off if you appear too stuffy, too full of yourself or too bland. Loosen up a bit, have fun, listen to what she has to say and lay off the heavy topics. Let the inner casanova in you emerge. You’re merely in the meet-up stage so there’s absolutely no need to get into anything deep. It’s fine to engage in some fun, flirtatious conversation and give her a good first impression of you as a man.

At the end of the day, your chances of connecting with a woman depend on what type of a first impression you will make on her. By knowing what it is exactly that turns women off, you can avoid these like the plague and match your techniques a bit to get them to initially like you. After that, it’s all a matter of making your follow up moves and building a better relationship so that you can turn yourself from the average Joe to the ultimate casanova.
