Whats a good way to keep men away?

Question

I don't want to sound arrogant but as of lately it seems more men are being attracted to me. I, however, don't wish to have their attention.
I haven't changed anything. My additude, Style of clothes, personality, and looks have all stayed the same.
I want to stay friends with these people of course. So whats a good way to let them know thats all I want to be without hurting their feelings or pride?

Answer 1

I have found that intelligence can be a turn-off. Most men don't like intelligent women.

I don't believe in lying as some of the other answerers have suggested, so I would just be honest . . . in an intellectual way.

I also agree with the answerers who said you have changed your attitude & are releasing a vibe that you are no longer interested in a male/female relationship at this point in time. Somehow men always seem to pick-up on this.

When I made the same decision some men took it hard & I was called all kinds of unflattering names. In my mind it was their loss, not mine, because they showed their true colors by being so nasty to me after I was honest with them.

Whatever you decide to do - "to your own self be true" - do what is best for you & stop worrying about other people's feelings.

Answer 2

when i used to have a lot of female friends they kept me in my place by constantly talking about all the guys they were interested in, even if it was just someone on tv. After they got done talking about all the attributes I obviously didn't have I was pretty sure I wasn't there type. then again, i got zero self esteem.
some guys need it spelled out why you're not interested in them. you can be like "Oh, thank you for saying so. That's very sweet. What do you do when you're not playing Cyrano de Bergerac? Oh, that's interesting."
Pretty soon you've got them talking about themselves and the attention is taken off of you and you might find a moment in there where you can excuse yourself or invite someone else to join in the conversation. Now it's not so intimate and you can talk to the 'suitor' and the friend on the same level and it will be increasingly difficult for him to continue pursuing you without rudely ignoring your friend. Point that out, if he does. Why would you be interested in someone so shallow?
It's like playing chess, or being a politician. Good luck with being popular!

Just tell them you have a boy friend to the ones you don't like and tell the ones you like that you don't. Saying you just want to be friends hurts some people, making them think you're brushing them off, which you are but hurts them anyway. (don't ask me why, psychology is a mysterious thing).

ps: you might want to think about why these guys are hounding you, could be something about you, a smile, or a particular movement. body language can be both intentional and un intentional. just think about it. ciao

Answer 4

Men are not in it to be friends....first. Second...the friends thing makes them think they can eventually have a chance. If you dont like it, tell them point blank that you not only have a disease but that you want to get pregnant right away. THAT will totally run them off...oh and a pre nup where you get more than half.

Answer 5

people tend to want what they can't have, and i bet you are giving off that vibe because you don't want them....some guys like the chase....

i find that being honest is the best thing. word will get around that you aren't looking for a relationship (or anything else) and you may notice a change....

if not then be honest....

Answer 6

I wish I could tell you to be nice...
Regardless, you will have to be honest and just say that you need to spend some alone time or "me" time right now.

Sometimes men can be a little pushy and then you are forced to be mean.
