Women love gossip. They notice the smallest things that men do wrong and then discuss them with their girlfriends. What about men? Do they notice ladies' mistakes? Does an average guy whose occupation has nothing to do with fashion really understand anything about women's outfit, perfume, or makeup? Some do. Here are 10 things they find unattractive:

Intricate Hairstyle: An intricate hairstyle is alright for a carnival or an extravagant photo session in a studio. In all other situations natural-looking hair is preferred.

How many times have you been twenty minutes into a conversation with a woman... and asking yourself 'Does she like me or is she just being polite?' It would be so much easier if they just came right out and said it, wouldn't it? But they won't.

If you don't have your eyes wide open for these signals you may wind up in a dead end conversation with a girl who has no interest in you past the free drinks you've been feeding her… Or even worse … you may wind up walking away from a girl who is practically jumping at the chance to follow you back to your place and tear your clothes off.

Yes, men tell women what we think you want to hear because let's face it: you're the ones deciding if there'll be sex tonight or not. If you ask guys to communicate, they think it's a trap. Women say they want men to be honest but when men open up, women don't like the answers.Here, YourTango presents 10 things men tell their buddies that they don't tell their wives and girlfriends:
