What Guy Mannerisms Drive You Nuts?

0702-chefs_da.jpg

This is totally random, but right now I'm freelancing in a building with a culinary institute on the first floor. Yesterday, the students must've burned a roast, because the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. I was looking for a hottie chef, but didn't find one.

I twirl my hair when I’m tired. Luckily, my roommate Erica twirls her hair too, so at night in the apartment, we just watch Bravo TV, talk smack, and twirl our hair. It’s all good. But I can be self-conscious about it around other people because, as my mom says, it’s annoying. When she and I watch TV, she’ll see me twirling out of the corner of her eye and say, “You’re TWIRLING,” and I do my best to stop.

I gotta watch these mannerisms, or whatever they are.

10 Things That Make Every Woman Hot

Beth was telling me she once dated a guy who would put his hands on his hips, but in that weird way, where the fingers are pointing down. I had to laugh! It’s such a tiny thing, but I imagine it would be so unattractive. Where do people get these mannerisms?

Someone the other day was complaining about men who only breathe through their mouth! A mouth-breather! Too funny!

Related: Accents are hot, but do they cloud your judgement?

What about knee-bouncing, knuckle-cracking, nail-biting, hand-gesturing, earlobe-tugging, nose-picking, or constant bangs-touching? What guy mannerisms drive you to the edge?

P.S. How about loud chewing, snoring, and pore speling skilz?

    Nose picking in public is the worst guy mannerism. Yuck!

    I have also noticed some guys wiping their hands on their pants instead of using a napkin.

    Thank God my husband doesn't do any of these.

    Jingling loose change in their pants pocket while having a conversation! It's irratating and distracting.

    The only thing I can't stand about my man is when he hocks up phlem from his throat. Ugh.

    But this article is poorly titled. Is there such a thing as "guy mannerisms"? There's mannerisms I find offensive, regardless of gender. Like hearing some lady scoff at other strange women in line or the hyena like laughs from groups of teenage girls when they see the local transvestite at the store.

    Please ladies, get some class.

    This isn't a guy mannerism, but I absolutely CANNOT STAND watching that Kristin Stewart (from Twilight) run her hands through her hair. She does it about every 3 seconds and it annoys the sh** out of me!! It reminds me of how a coke addict sniffs and twitches their nose. Stop it!!!!!

    facial ticks he gets when he's drunk and also him trying to act sober when he's drunk. All his mannerisms are so ridiculous and exaggerated (I'm not with him anymore thank God). My exhusband would (and still does) sniff the back of his hand. Dork. Oh, what about the adjusting his stuff mannerism.........especially after he takes a leak. Sucking on his teeth. Scratching his head. Picking his fingernails. Any kind of grooming in public that should be done in private.

    Nose picking is gross, biting nails, putting dirty feet/shoes on top of clothes, etc. Girls who play with their hair can drive me nuts too - but I have my own bad habits so I'm not one to talk!!!
