  1. A man who doesn’t have a passport and never travelled out of their country. You mean to tell me you never got out of the country ? Two possibilities. You are an extreme nationalist and think other countries are inferior. Or you simply boring. I am not into people who refuses to travel. People who refuses to travel are the grouchiest motherfuckers ever.
  2. A man who drives a big ass oversized pick up truck or SUV. Not the F150s. Those are reasonable sized trucks. I am talking about those men who drive ford F250s or even Ford F650s and GMC sierras, Cadillac Escalade. You are not cool at all. You look stupid.
  3. A self proclaimed passport bro. Women in the US and other western countries aren’t tolerating your bullshit so you go in the poorest areas in developing countries and seek desperate women seeking refuge and you taking advantage of that.
  4. A man who is afraid to fly. Plane crashes are rare and there are millions of planes flying right now worldwide and 9 times out of 10 they land safely. They take the passengers from A to B without incidents. Even banned airlines from third world countries rarely have crashes. Lock in and face your fears fuck face 🙄.
  5. A man who is a vegan or a climate activists. If you start lecturing me about how using AC or heat is damaging the planet or how eating meat is cruel you getting blocked 🚫.
  6. A man who voted for trump. You supporting a predator if you voted for that orange dictator.
  7. A man who does travels but only goes to all inclusive resort destinations or stick to the crowded touristic areas or even worst, uses travel agents to book trips. That’s what peasants do. Get out of my face. Say I am with a man and he says “oh let’s go spend a week in Montego Bay Jamaica at this nice all inclusive or let’s go to Punta Cana” it would be an instant turnoff. If a man invites me to a cruise or some all inclusive dystopia, I am breaking up with him through text message and I am blocking his number and I am blocking him on all social media pages.
  8. a man who is rude to waiters and waitresses.
  9. a man who is broke.
  10. a man who has no female friends.

I’ve been to France. But again. I don’t just go to popular trendy tourist spots.

i have been to towns that are not well known at all.

Pierrelatte, Roche sur yon, vannes, Rennes, le Croisic, Poitier, Lourdes, Ménerbes, clisson, Pornic, Pornichet, pont st esprit, Nantes, St Malot.

OP - the majority of users on here are Europe based.

Many go to France regularly and certainly not only Paris. Saumur, Cloisons, Angers, Tours, Orleans, Amboise, Carnac, Lorient, Plestin-les-Greves, Bayeux, Caen, Le Crotoy, Amiens, Lille, Strasbourg, Colmar, Ribeauvillé, Lyon, Vienne, Orange, Nimes, Avignon, Marseille, Valence, Arles, La Rochelle, Bordeaux.

This just a list off the top of my head where I've visited in France and not a complete list by any means. France is one of Europe's number one Holiday destinations and has many incredible places to visit.

But you can only do this is you are based in Europe. If you fly in like most Americans do, you will probably visit Paris and that's it. You need more of a Rick Steve's guy by the sound of it 😁

Barbecue obsessed would be chefs and their endless fecking hot sauces.
I hate both barbecues and hot sauces.

I think men generally give me the ick because Im post menopausal, have zero soft oestrogen hormones rushing round my body and the rose coloured glasses have fallen off .I prefer living in my lovely house on my own hanging out on the sofa in my pants with my many cats with nobody else here to get on my nerves.
