You're on Tinder and OK Cupid, you're hitting up the bars on a regular basis, hell, you've even tried taking a Salsa class. (Hint: Just because you've taken a salsa class does not make every time Latin music comes on an opportunity for you to show us your moves.) The point is, you're putting yourself out there and trying to get a date. Good for you. But if you think of yourself as a pretty nice guy, with a good job, but you just can't seem to score, here are a list of 5 things you're probably doing wrong that are turning all the nice ladies, or really every lady, off.

1. You're wearing stupid clothes
If you're over 25 years old, you'd better at least wear a nice button up shirt on a date.
Is that seriously a studded belt buckle I'm looking at? Or are you one of those guys that still thinks pleated corduroys are acceptable? Men, you really need to step up your style game. It's 2016, you don't have an excuse anymore. Even the nerds from The Big Bang Theory look presentable. A few hard and fast rules; no square toed shoes, no polo shirts, no jeans that are skinnier than mine, no graphic tees with dumb sayings, and absolutely no Oakleys!!!

2. I'm seriously choking on your cologne
A dab is not a deal breaker, but no one wants to be plunged into a cloud of Axe Body Spray when they're within 50 feet of you.
Cologne is weird. But if you're stuck on wearing it, just make sure it's expensive and only dab on a little. If I even catch a whiff of Bod Man I will instantly be transported back to a college party where dozens of sweaty guys hungrily pawed at all the dancing girls to the entrancing tones of I Got A Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas.

3. Your negging game is NOT working

If you take advice from people that say you should neg girls to make yourself seem better, you should do the opposite of whatever those people say.
Negging is dumb. You should never try to talk down to a woman because you think it will get you laid. It won't. It will never score you a smart, confident woman. It will score you a punch in the head. And if you have ever tried this caveman logic out on a woman, and it has worked, shame on you for taking advantage of an insecure girl.

4. You're trying too hard to be cool and unique.
Seriously, knock it off. Just be you.

Most girls just want a normal guy who will be interested in them.
They're not looking for the next Frank Zappa.

5. You're being too clingy.

Acting appropriately interested, but not swooning, will show you're not a weirdo, and she'll appreciate that.
