Star Gazer Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Since this is a list of turn-offs, I'm assuming you're looking for things that would turn me off from an otherwise attractive guy. Poor hygiene (e.g., bad breath, body odor, visible tartar, acne, dirty clothes)Long fingernailsInsecurity of the "I'm not good enough" varietyFar right on the political spectrumBad kisserDoesn't exercise or enjoy the outdoorsReally bad fashion choices (e.g., wears pleated pants, acid wash jeans, tall white socks with black athletic shoes or tevas, etc.)Obsessed with sex (e.g., asks about interest to partake in threesome on first date)Doesn't like dogs or animals in general
Nlelith Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Smoking. Excessive drinking and any kind of drugging. Smoking. General personality problems, etc. No motivation in life/ poor work ethics. Smoking. I really can't stand smoking, I'm a nazi about it.

AverageJoe Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 "tsk tsk?"

Feelin Frisky Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Whoops. Forgot something. No homo. Too late.
Distant78 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Okay. I have a lot but I'll narrow it down. 1. Arrogant and loud-mouthed 2. Disrespectful 3. Too outgoing 4. a slutty past 5. large quantity of men/partners 6. a woman who plays the "push/pull game" 7. Ugly feet. I have dumped women with ugly feet with beautiful bodies and personalities and it hurt, but I couldn't do it no longer. Just cannot take it. I think a lot of men can understand me when I say this. A woman's feet is supposed to naturally look better than a man's feet. 8. And most of all, if she was a cheater, which I can probably say is my bigges dealbreaker.

Eeyore79 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 -Facial hair, not a deal breaker but I'm not a fan Ohh I love facial hair! Maybe not a forest, but a nice beard always makes me want to sit on it... -If they dont believe in the true GOD of the Bible. If they do believe in the true God of the Bible, that would be a turn-off for me. I like my men to be scientifically minded. - no pets. Sorry. Children yes. Livestock, no. I have the opposite viewpoint, in that a man has to like animals or it's a no-go. Pet allergies are a total dealbreaker. I also agree with many of the things other people have said, including: -Talking about exes Why do people feel the need to mention their ex unnecessarily every five minutes? You're supposed to be with me now, and I don't give a f*** what your ex said/did. Exes shouldn't be mentioned unless we're specifically having one of those rare conversations about our past histories. -Smoking It make you stink, it makes your teeth yellow, and it makes me think you're dumb because you obviously can't read the words on the box where it says "Smoking Kills" (If you can read the words, you're obviously even dumber because you go ahead and put them in your mouth anyway) Other turn-offs include: -Taking drugs -Lack of ambition (not having a career or doing anything with your life) -Kids -Stupidity (must be smart and logical) -Lack of competence/no sense of adventure (hate people who sit around saying they can't do things - for goodness sake, grow a pair and just do it!)
Yer_Blues Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 So basically she should want to do whatever you want to do? Add people who come to this conclusion from my list of turn offs to the list Entitlement is the Disney princess syndrome. People are entitled to their basic needs and such, but I'm talking about women who just approach things like they are more valuable than men and expect to be pampered. Motherly behavior is obviously the biggest turn off ever. I don't see how not wanting constant limitations set on your freedom like you were a child is selfish. I moved out of my parents' house at 15, and I never intend to move back in with a mother figure. Prejudice should turn off any young person. I can't stand it. Anybody who can't view an individual as an individual and refrain from making assumptions off of stereotypes is not going to be on the same page as me. And the reason I don't like overly judgmental people is because it's a form of putting yourself above somebody else. Please, if you would for my sake, tell me what lead you to jump to your conclusion from my list. It worries me.
mr.dream merchant Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Turn off in a woman eh? - Lack of class (way she speaks, dresses, tattoo's in unprofessional places) - Lack of intelligence (at least had to have graduated high school..) - Lack of self control over physical needs and wants (promiscuous present to past) - Lack of sense of self/ individualism (wants to do what everyone else is doing, talks like everyone else, still part of the cool crowd) - Lack of responsibility (parties all the time, gets really drunk at said parties, calling people for a ride when really drunk..etc..) - Lack of cleanliness (house is always a mess, room is always a mess) That's about it..
You'reasian Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 1. Arrogant/Loud mouthed 2. Lack of self-control: can't stick with one guy 3. Hypocritical: does something that she wouldn't want you doing 4. No self identity - tries to talk like others.
jennifer4 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 but I"m glad to see I'm not : ) turn offs--- Bad teeth(crooked,dirty) Bad breath, body odor Long and or dirty fingernails Drug user Drinking alcohol(in excess) Smoker Disrespectful Doesn't like kids Those are the biggies! Still single because obviously my list is asking too much : ) oh well, I'm holding out.
East7 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Instant turn-offs : - Women who are too natural : no makeup, no self-care, simple shapeless hair cut . - Women with short hair - Ugly hands and feet - Bad outfit tastes, oldish /hippie...etc. what I find ugly. Ugg's boots (hate it) - Women tomboy with men's tastes, riding motorcycles, acting like men ect (for me a woman must be sweet and sensitive) - Women who like gossip, judge and badmouth people. - Drink too much until being drunk. - Women who talk about their sexual-experiences with other men (WTF, I don't want to know) or women who are too promiscuous/ have had numerous partners. - A woman who would look down at me or disrespect me. Deal-breakers/ Not relationship materials : - Spoiled, self-centered. - No interest in Culture, never reads a book, never goes in museum (I dated once a girl who I invited to a modern art museum and she told me she hated museums - it was a huge turn-off) - Liar or not trustworthy. - Not romantic, not sensitive (I like romantic girls) - Arrogant. - Doesn't like pets. - Has no cooking skills (But I can tolerate if she wants to learn or put some minimal effort - Any decent woman should know to cook once in a while) Edited December 31, 2010 by East7

I know you're out there somewhere.
LifeIsGreat Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I am curious to know what are some of your turn- offs in a relationship? I'm not really interested in physical things (I don't want people's feelings getting hurt for things they maybe can't change). I'm talking about behavioral/ things people do/ say/ etc. This might be tricky. For me, certain things a person does who you DON'T really like would be annoying, while they might NOT be annoying if you're crazy about the person. I'll start. #1) someone who is a p*ssy- One of the guys I've been talking to proceeded to tell me for an hour about how his ex made him give her all of his passwords to all of his accounts. I asked him how long he stayed with her....7 months?! #2) talking about exes another one I'm talking to also likes to talk about his most recent ex. He says how he would never go back to her and that she is kinda of trashy, but they are still friends. He told me how she calls him every day and even read me a card she sent him. I am ok with talking about exes if it pertains to certain behaviors, issues, etc. But the other day, I said "too bad you're working or I would have made you dinner". he came back with "BLAHBLAH used to tell me that too" Is that unneccessary or is it just me?? please feel free to elaborate. I really am curious to see a) what people think and b) if I do any of these things on the list. thanks and yay OK, my list is also based on my relationships, not so much simply dating.... 1) A woman who can't communicate and/or expects me to read her mind. Next time I hear "I shouldn't have to tell you" I am running! 2) A woman who is 'prudish' or not comfortable with her body. A woman who can't act or sound like she's enjoying our love making. 3) A woman who is insecure and/or accuses me of messing around when there is NO evidence or behavior that indicates I'm doing that. 4) A woman who deals with or is being treated for depression or other emotional issues. I'll probably get some flak for that, but it's way too difficult to deal with (sometimes impossible). 5) A woman who starts putting pressure on me to get married early in the relationship. Or-- a woman who wants to get married even though we have been having relationship issues. I can't stand having to teach a woman that marriage does NOT fix relationship problems. 6) A woman that I have to be her preacher/teacher/Daddy/counsler. 7) A woman who has family issues with kids/parents/siblings and those issues are affecting our romantic relationship. 8) A woman who feels the only way to get through to me is by breaking up with me. 9) A woman who always a 'taker' instead of also 'giving'. Someone who can't/won't reciprocate my kindness and love.
paleblue Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Prude behavior, Closed off. Secretive. Hard to read. Leaves you wondering. Thinks she is a bad a@@. Self absorbed. Selfish. Two-faced. Attention Whore. Runs around a lot. Won’t look you in the eye.
