Dating Expert: The One Texting Habit Nearly All Women Do That Men Hate — And Other Messaging That Matters To Both Sexes Must Stop Now
- Sending messages line by line instead of one big chunk is annoying for men
- Dating expert Louanne Ward said the simple habit comes across as controlling
- She also shared the other posts about messages for both men and women in text messages
- Men don’t like women sending too many emojis or asking trivial questions
- Women don’t like men leaving them unread or read and answering with one word
If you ever write down a message line by line instead of sending it all together as one big piece, you’re guilty of a texting habit that men hate the most, a leading dating expert has revealed.
Relationship expert and matchmaker Louanne Wardfrom Perth, said this approach annoys men for a number of reasons, including that it can feel controlling and embarrassing if their phone keeps flashing or beeping.
“The main reason men don’t like it is that it can feel like control. The woman does the initiation and sets the pace and tone of the conversation,” Louanne told FEMAIL.

Men also feel obligated to respond to every message or risk being “accused of not responding” to any or all elements.
“Many don’t like the sound of repeated notifications, which can be both annoying and embarrassing,” said Louanne.
The matchmaker explained that when you send a message in multiple parts, men feel like the conversation has become “fragmented” or inconsistent.
“They may have to go back and re-read it several times to answer it, so it takes twice as long,” she said.
Because men don’t naturally spend as much time communicating over text, she added that it can feel like “pressure or dominance” to them.
Louanne (pictured) said many women message this way because they don’t like being ignored by men and take the opportunity to get the most out of it
But why do we as women like to send messages this way so often?
According to Louanne, the main reason is that we don’t like to be ignored.
“We’re taking the opportunity to get out as much as we can when we know a guy is on his device, whereas if we send a long message, he could disappear,” she said.
This tactic is often used because women are looking for instant answers.
There are many texting habits men and women have that annoy the opposite sex, Louanne said (pictured), including when women ask trivial questions throughout the day
Texting line by line isn’t the only messaging habit women have that men hate, Louanne said.
She also stressed texting and asking trivial questions like “how’s your day going?” and using too many emojis as habits that drive men crazy.
On the other hand, Louanne said women hate it when men leave them unread, with one- or two-word replies and sarcastic messages that can be read two ways.
“Vague messages that skip a question are a big no-no from women, which men sometimes do,” she said.
For example, a woman might ask “are we catching up tomorrow?” and a man will answer, ‘I will try’.
“It’s not a clear yes or no and leave a woman hanging,” Louanne said.
