Subject: Things that turn you off...

Written By: Natalie on 09/09/02 at 10:52 p.m.

...from the opposite sex.

(I think this has been asked before, but, I guess it's worthy to be re-asked.)

1.  I don't like guys who think they're all that.  Trust me, looks aren't everything.  It's all about personality (well, mostly).

2.  Pit stains on T-shirts

I don't like guys who think that they are all that either. I don't like when they act "cool" when they are really acting stupid. I don't like guys who think that all they have to do is mention the word "Money" around girls and think that we are suppose to burzerc over it. I don't like guys who buy you things and expect something in return (meaning going to bed with them). Trust me I can go on but it will take a couple of pages  ;D

This is what really turned me off.

Last Saturday night, I was with this chick at her house and everything was going alright so far.  We started making out and I started to take her shirt off.  I get half way up and she tells me, "Just because I'm not a virgin doesn't mean I'm having sex with you."  So I got up and left.

Michigan girls are so damn uptight.  Give me a California chick anyday!

Ditto. There are too many people, first at school, and now at college, who smoke, and, though they do have a smoking shelter, it's potentially too late to save those who have inherited it from their friends... and that's fairly pisses me off.

Men who underestimate me.  Stupidity.  Men who have no backbone.  And men who think they can buy your affection.  For the physical, small hands being number one, I would have to say another major turn-off would be a man who shows up (late, mind you) wearing food stained clothing on a first date with no appologies.  And the clothes were wrinkled, too!

Hmm

Men who wear Y-fronts. Erghh I can't stand briefs they are the most horrible things. Lads, it's not cool, ok :)

Men with overly hairy chests - I hate too much hair.

Guys who go constantly flirt with other girls when they are with someone else.

I also hate guys who are too eager. I once went out wit a lad who called me every night for the month when we were going out. It drove me crazy - he was so overly eager! The only thing worse would be if he told me he loved me a month into it! That would scare me off straight away! I'm 17 and scared of commitment, and that's how I wanna be for a while :)

I'm just not a hairy man lover. I think I've told this story before, but I went to see a play with college with nudity in it. This one guy had such a hairy back that at first, we all thought he had dirt all over his back! Certainly wouldn't want to date that guy! There are other reasons beside that for me not wanting to date him, as he's like 40 and I'm not even half his age yet, but still - the hair factor takes over! ;D

I thought this was a thread on the things that turn you off, not just the opposite sex. My original post mentioned traits that turn me off in both sexes. But it has degenerated into a battle of the sexes, which I had hoped to avoid.

It's been said already, but I couldn't resist :

Too much makeup (IMHO most women look so much better without it)

Too much perfume (it's hard to be attracted to someone when being within a 20 foot radius makes it hard to breathe  ::))

And on either sex :

Unwashed hair  :(

And on males :

The pants that are 18 sizes too big, and where the crotch hangs half way down below the knees

Of course that doesn't turn me off as such - it just makes me laugh uncontrollably

Definately too much makeup on a girl. I like the natural look especially if you wake up next to a loved one without it. Beats starting a life with a girl who wore lots of makeup when you went out together and waking up on your honeymoon next to her without it.

I agree, too much makeup looks horrible.


Also -- SHORT short shorts. Now, one part of my body brain ( :-X ;D) likes it, but sometimes, it makes the person seem like a  Slu t.

Tube Socks are kind of a turn-off for me (that applies to either sex).

After reading some of the posts, I've decided to add a few:

Men who feel the need to say "F*C*" after every word - or men who cuss too much in general.  I interpret it as a sign of disrespect.

Men who talk about sex 24-7 like it's the most important aspect of their life.  Quite honestly, most of the men out there who talk about it all the time, ususally are the ones who aren't getting "it."  

I totally agree w/ Fuss about the "saggy pants" style.  How hard is it to find a pair of pants that fit?  It looks ridiculous.

Smoking, smoking, smoking!  I'm sure most of you remember my stance on the smoking issue from the "should smoking be illegal" thread.  ;)

We are at different ends of the spectrum. I'll take domineering and arrogant any day over someone who needs a man to feel "safe and protected."

Cussing and swearing constantly.

Guys who want to be stapled to my hip.  ::) I was not born a Siamese twin, and I don't need one now, thanks.

Any addiction: drinking smoking gambling....sex...oh, wait a minute... ;)

Men that I can "run" over, or want to "run" over me. I don't want a dishrag, but I don't want a daddy either. ::) I guess what I am trying to say is we must share the pants, or we will have no pants. Wait, that didn't sound right... ;)

Humorlessness.

Prejudice. Argh, do not pass go, heck, don't even approach  go.

Shallowness.

Bad hygiene.

Big list. I know. I should have been doomed to be single forever. Thank goodness for Mr Who, he wants the same things that I do so we blend well.

"Men" (aheheh heh ack ack ack) who talk about beer and "parties" w/lustful rapture.  Bad enough it was ever the center of their lives, but at 30 or so - come on, grow up, stop the shallowness and get a real life.  Show some depth and stop being so incredibly boring and dull.    >:( ::)

Men obsessed w/sex, however "subtle" it may seem.  Such as guys who have slutty pix of girls all over their cubicles and rooms.  Not likely to be 1-woman men, and probably not too secure in their masculinity, either.

It really doesn't take much to go from one to the other, so I'm willing to deal with both aspects of someone's personality. I think I can tolerate a lot from a girl if she has enough good qualities that outweigh the bad ones. Hey, she's willing to overlook mine (and won't try to change my ways as I will not try to change hers), so that's a plus right there. Nobody is perfect, right? To me, everyone is on a case by case basis depending on the time period of my life. I can easily come up with a list, but it soon goes out the window once I come face-to-face and fall head-over-heels for the exception. Strange things do happen.

I would be more than satisfied with an arrogant girl (or woman) who would not mind... my small, manicured, delicate hands. The hands of an amateur student chemist. The hands of an avid reader and art lover. The hands of a responsible boy. The hands of a person who will be loyal and honest and appreciative of every quality that a friend has - the good and the bad. Attitude can change with time if one chooses to do so, but I cannot change my hands; you wouldn't believe how many times I've been insulted for that one by girls who aren't arrogant. If it weren't for my arrogance, I'd actually feel bad about that.

Nothing wrong with hands.  Girls dig a guy who knows what to do with his hands ;)  I actually have very large hands for a person my size (I can palm a basketball pretty easily) so that helps a lot in playing the violin or the piano, if I were better at it :P  It kind of confuses me why girls would go out of their way to insult your hands though.  Maybe they're just b!tches 8)

Kind of like, how guys say girls' bad fingernails are turn-offs?  Maybe it's just me (and I have TERRIBLE fingernail-related problems), but I don't notice hands too much, period, and certainly don't spend time eyeing fingernail details.

Only thing I notice sometimes is whether the hands generally are thin-long-fingered or short-stubby.

I think that as far as hand size goes it is more a reflection of how those girls feel about themselves. My girlfriends say they like big hands on guys because it makes them feel feminine, but certainly is not a requirement. This is stupid, I know, but that is the consensus. I don't care if a guy has small or big hands. Who cares? If a person is that wrapped up in little things and shallow ideals I doubt they will be happy with anyone.... ::)
