Men, if you mention any of these “no clue” topics on a first date, your chances of scoring a second are next to nil – we just don’t care
- Matchmaker Louanne Ward revealed the seven topics to avoid on a first date
- The list includes your hobbies, body count and relationships
A professional matchmaker has listed the seven “no idea” conversation topics that single people should avoid on first dates.
Louanne Warda relationship expert from Perth who has worked with couples for over 25 years said that single men are attracted to certain topics that make it difficult for women to connect with them.
“There are some stupid ignorant things guys talk about in the early stages of dating that women don’t care about,” Louanne said.
She cautioned that self-centered conversations that focus too much on a man’s dating history or his bedroom skills can be a major turn-off.
“If you talk about yourself too much, she won’t want to see you anymore,” the dating expert said.
1. How many people have you been with?
Men often brag about their ‘body count’ to appear more experienced and desirable – but this has the opposite effect.
“No woman cares how many other women you’ve slept with or how horny they are,” Louanne said.
2. Your gym habits
Another thing men seem to fixate on is their workout schedule and how many kg of protein powder they consume.
Talking too much about health and fitness deviates from other topics of conversation where both people on the date can share their thoughts and opinions.
“How much you exercise and how much you can lift is not important,” said the dating guru.
3. Your different body modifications
Louanne revealed that she’s noticed that many men focus too much on their tattoos during first encounters – a topic their dates aren’t interested in.
“The full rundown of all your tattoos and what they mean is just not interesting,” she said.

4. Everything goes wrong in your life
First dates are meant to be exciting – with both parties putting their best foot forward.
“Don’t talk about all your problems and health problems,” Louanne warned.
“A woman is not there to be your mother or your therapist.”
5. Boy Toys
Louanne said that while it was good for everyone to have hobbies, there are certain “masculine” interests that women don’t care about.
“Don’t get out your fishing rods, RVs, guns, or jet skis,” she said.

6. Your ex-partner
Sometimes men think that talking about how much of a “b**ch” their ex was will get them brownie points for moving on – but this isn’t always true.
On the other hand, women don’t want to hear that your ex was “great.”
“It’s not negative to talk well about your ex, but no woman wants to hear that she already has competition with the ex before she gets involved.”
Louanne revealed that it was safe to avoid the topic of exes altogether to avoid stepping on eggshells.
7. Your sex life
“Women don’t want to hear how good you think you are in bed, how long you last, or how many adult movies you watch,” the Perth dating coach said.
“It’s not a subject that should be brought up in the early stages of dating — she’d rather find out for herself when things are going well.”
Many thanked Louanne for her advice and agreed with the opinion of the dating expert.
“I love this, it’s so true!” said a woman. “It’s so boring when men talk about these things.”
“100 percent on point,” added another.
“You would think this is common sense,” said a third.
