The Single Man’s 9 Worst Travel Habits That Women Hate

There are many rea­sons women love a man who loves to trav­el. But, there are also some com­mon com­plaints about these same men! Today, we take a look at the 9 worst trav­el habits women hate about trav­el­ing men.

1. Looking scruffy and being poorly dressed

Sure, you’re on hol­i­day, it may even be a beach vaca­tion; but that doesn’t give you the wild card to dress how­ev­er way you feel appro­pri­ate. Some cul­tures, espe­cial­ly Asian, are reserved and it would help mat­ters if you appre­ci­ate this fact and fol­low the dress code.

And it’s not just in Asia. Ital­ians, for exam­ple, are con­scious of their appear­ance and look to main­tain a sophis­ti­cat­ed aura of classi­ness through­out, so much so that you can expect to bump onto Ver­sace mod­el look-alikes in the strangest of places. Dress appro­pri­ate­ly for the sea­son.

Lady trav­el­ers aren’t par­tic­u­lar­ly fond of scruffy guys either. You either look like a sexy moun­tain man or the guy in the white van ask­ing if you want some can­dy.

2. Being drunk and loud

Nobody likes a drunk­en loud­mouth, whether at home or in for­eign lands. You may be excit­ed about the trip, or maybe the ‘new­ness’ or imper­ma­nence of a hol­i­day makes you feel like you’re in fan­ta­sy land. But let­ting every­one know of your emo­tions in a loud, emphat­ic man­ner isn’t going to endear you to any­one.

In case you are won­der­ing why every­one is look­ing at you next time you go scream­ing your head out, chances are you are shout­ing. And the for­eign women def­i­nite­ly don’t like it.

3. Acting rude and having no manners

If there is one thing women hate about trav­el­ing men, it is guys who show no man­ners and behave rude­ly. This is uni­ver­sal­ly acknowl­edged as one of the worst trav­el habits!

Just because you are in a dif­fer­ent coun­try doesn’t give you the right to be rude to the locals. You are not bet­ter than them, so be polite and treat them with respect.

4. Being disrespectful to local culture

Speak­ing of being rude. One of the best things you’ll ever do in this life is vis­it­ing a new coun­try. Act­ing the way the Romans act in Rome and expe­ri­enc­ing life from their per­spec­tive is not just awe­some, but refresh­ing too.

You want to expe­ri­ence a fresh cul­ture and new place. Touch, feel, taste, observe and lis­ten. If you can’t do that, it’s best to just stay at home. Under­stood?

5. Being too forward with women

There’s a ten­den­cy amongst men, espe­cial­ly sin­gle guys, to treat a vaca­tion like a hunt­ing expe­di­tion and bed any­thing that walks in a skirt.

No one is deny­ing you the chance to roll in the hay, and how­ev­er tempt­ing it can be giv­en most of us are here today and gone tomor­row, just have a bit of class and be respect­ful to the local women, okay?

6. Constantly talking about how good things are back home

Home may always be best but you can quick­ly bore every­one by con­stant­ly talk­ing about how good things are going back home. It’s a turn-off so please keep that to your­self before you ruin every­one else’s time. Hon­est­ly.

Appre­ci­ate the con­trast between your coun­try and the new place in silence, no one forced you to come here in the first place.

7. Getting annoyed because people don’t speak your language

Your lan­guage may be the lin­go spo­ken in heav­en but it’s a turn-off to have a man com­plain every time about how locals don’t under­stand a word you say. In one way or anoth­er, peo­ple will find a way to help you. Just be patient and friend­ly.

Think of your­self in the locals’ shoes. You are walk­ing from your house to the gro­cery store then some­one approach­es you and starts talk­ing to you in Chi­nese or Swahili, nei­ther of which you under­stand.

8. Wearing no shirt in a restaurant or anywhere that isn’t the beach

In the more con­ser­v­a­tive coun­tries, some dress codes are frowned upon. Going shirt­less in a pub­lic restau­rant that isn’t your liv­ing room smacks of dis­re­spect and dis­gust­ing com­pla­cen­cy. Refer to points 1 and 4 for a refresh­er.

9. Not learning how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ in the local language

Learn­ing how to say some basic words like ‘hel­lo’, ‘thank you’ or ‘please’ or sim­ply show­ing some effort is such a pos­i­tive mind­set – just what we need when on hol­i­day!

Guys, steer clear of these worst trav­el habits and you’ll have no trou­ble with the ladies.
