Mistakes that push people away when you first meet
Relationships and dating can be a difficult task for some. You might be wondering why some people constantly seem to attract other people’s attention while others always seem to end up alone. Clearly, both men and women are not just attracted to appearance and personal qualities. Some of the behaviours people display actually push others away.
Sleep Deprivation: A lack of sleep can change your mood and also make one look less attractive. Always try to get yourself plenty of sleep before a date or important meeting. It’s a fact that people will unknowingly try to avoid those who look unhealthy. Sleep deprivation can make you grumpy and more nervous. Scientists claim that getting enough rest at night will lead to people treating you as a more reliable and friendly person.
No Hobbies: You don’t need to be incredibly beautiful to attract the opposite gender. One study conducted at an online dating site has proven that creative people can be just as popular as beautiful ones. Men prefer women who like sports, dancing, traveling, and art. Women on the other hand were into those who travel, work out, cook, and don’t sleep at the movies.
Poor Manners: When you’re dating, bad table manners could leave you without a second chance. People think that noisy eating can be one of the most disgusting habits someone can have. Answering phone calls and eating from your date’s plate are two other things you should consider blacklisted.
Laziness: Active people are much more likely to meet a partner as opposed to those who are lazy. Lazy people tend to be less successful, and it’s not just because they spend lots of extra time sitting at home and watching TV. It goes back to our psychological mechanisms: ancient people didn’t like those who preferred to do nothing. Simple!
Self Confidence: Women prefer confident men. A grumpy or brutish man actually attracts more attention than a smiling guy. It’s a fact that girls don’t like men who are too happy. If a woman is too confident, men will usually think she’s reserved or snobby. A man is unlikely to ask a girl out if she puts off an image that says, “I have really high self-esteem”. So, a wide smile is definitely the best way to get a gentleman’s attention.
Personal Hygiene: Body odour can play an important role when dating and trying to begin a long-term relationship. It’s not about perfume or cologne. The way a person smells depends on the genes that are responsible for their immune system. Of course, people don’t smell each other when they first meet, but we subconsciously choose a person who smells healthy.
Now that you know these important mistakes which both men and women are guilty of making, you can be sure to avoid them.
Whether you’re single, dating or in a long-term happy relationship, personal hygiene, confidence, hobbies, and good manners are just a few things that can assure your partner will always be happy and attracted to you!
Parliament has confirmed that the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, Kwame Ohene Frimpong, has been detained at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Ghana’s parliament has marked the 2nd edition of May Day 2026 under the theme “ Welcome Home”.
It was special day meant to celebrate the invaluable support of the workforce, recognizing the commitment, resilience, and contributions of workers to institutional growth and national development.
Delivering the message on behalf of the Speaker, the 1st Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, described the theme as very apt, appropriate, and timely, noting that Parliament is more than a workplace, it is a shared home.
He emphasized that we cannot speak about work without speaking about people, reminding everyone that the true measure of our work is the well-being of our people.
He urged that our traditional clothing become an integral part of our everyday clothing, and that our local languages must become integral to our daily lives, interwoven into education and practiced at home.
Referencing Standing Order 63, which captures the use of local language as optional in deliberations, he encouraged a renewed commitment to identity, saying it is significant that we “come home” and present who we are so future generations can inherit a story they can fully tell.
The Clerk, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, in his remarks commended officers for their dedication and devotion to duty, calling on them to go the extra mile and leave legacies.
Echoing the reminder that an unexamined life is not worth living, he described the event as an invitation to reconnect with our roots through cultural revival.
The Deputy Clerk, C&FMS, Dr. Gloria Sarku Kumawu, urged all not to forget their roots, the people behind the stories of ministries, industries, and the strides made both in-house and beyond.
What began last year has now become a meaningful tradition, showcasing Ghanaian heritage, fostering unity, and encouraging innovation under the principle of diversity for unity and diversity for progress, she added.
The gathering brought together leadership, public officials, and staff across all levels, along with the media, standing as a unifying platform that honored service, celebrated culture, and reaffirmed a shared commitment to national development.
