The overall consensus?

High-maintenance, negative women are the biggest turn-offs.

Confident, together women, who take care of themselves, can communicate honestly and directly and are easy to be with - got the highest marks. Make him fall deeply in love with this

Timing in relationships plays a huge role. Mostly, the men emphasized that when a guy is truly interested in a woman, he will pursue her and let her know.

If he offers excuses and doesn't follow through, he's just not interested- either in her or in a relationship at this time.

My advice to the women out there. "Listen" closely to what he communicates non-verbally. If he says one thing, but does another, he is not telling you the whole truth.

If you have just begun dating someone or have seen him for a while and his behavior towards you changes suddenly- address this with him immediately.

Most of all, if something just doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Trust your instincts and let them be your guide.
