Meeting people can be extremely stressful and challenging. If you find that you're getting rejected again and again, you need to consider if you're sabotaging your efforts by unknowingly doing any of these 11 things that make people appear less attractive.
 

Intelligence is sexy! If you're trying to date online, not having proper grammar not only gives the impression that you're uneducated, but also that you're not invested. Grammar mistakes look careless, and people don't want to waste their time dating someone who is not fully committed to finding a relationship.

While you may think your youth is an advantage, you might want to look at this interesting study that shows that children born to parents over 30 have a preference for older looking partners.

Since more and more women are waiting until they are more financially stable to have children, more and more people are being born to parents older than 30.
 

If you're going on a date, try wearing red! According to this study, people associate red with passion and romance.
 

While you should wear your makeup for yourself, it's also helpful to know that men prefer women with more natural-looking makeup for daily wear.
 

This strange study found that hungrier men preferred bigger women, but once they finished eating, they didn't find them as being as attractive.

While there's not much to take away from this, maybe try avoiding hungry men since it's clear they can't think straight enough to figure out what they want.
 

Practice what your parents taught you at the table. Chewing with your mouth open, speaking with your mouth full, and other disgusting habits can end the date early and guarantee you'll never see that person again!
 

Stubble is in right now! This study showed that women favored men with stubble hair over men who were cleanly shaved or sported impressive beards.​

If you're a woman, smile! Men find you to be more approachable and confident. If you're a man, smile slightly and don't show any teeth. Women will find you more mysterious and self-assured according to this study.
 

Sometimes faking it doesn't get you to making it, since people can spot phoniness immediately. This tip is especially important for online dating. Just be yourself and be earnest about communicating who you are and what you want in a relationship.
 

Stay humble and stay grounded. Bragging about your salary or acting way too excited can really turn a date off. Confidence is attractive and you should always feel good in your own skin, but showing that you're also humble will really win people over.
 

Pick up a hobby! People rate the creative type as being most attractive. People love hearing others talk about their passions because their eyes light up and they get very excited. Showing that you have hobbies shows that you're invested in things outside yourself, which makes you more likable.

Help your friends find their soulmate by letting them know to avoid these 11 things we've all done at one point that make us less attractive!
