I know there are a lot of these threads bu tI haven't seen any lately, so what turns you off in guys/girls? Me its abrasive, loud girls. Thats sratch there testies. :D

Only one major thing; Girls who are openly argumentative for no reason whatsoever. Honestly. Annoys the crap out of me (although it also applies to blokes in terms of friendship, so I just hate it in general).

Lack of manners, being rude.
People who are deliberately mean to others
Disrespect
Bad tippers
People who dont know who James Horner is.

What the fuck are you talking about?



Sorry, but somebody had to do it.

Ignorance.

Heh, funny.

*shoots*

I hate long walks on the beach.

whining
sense of entitlement
arrogance
ignorance
laziness
disrespect for elders
inconsiderate of other's feelings
irresponsibility
poor work ethic
dependent on others
illiterate
close minded
cranky
negative attitude

a lot of stuff.......... probably why I married my husband like 2 months after we started dating, because he didn't annoy me, he must be perfect. LOL

EDIT: I forgot stupidity, and lack of common sense. ;)

An over-inflated sense of entitlement.

when guys who have no business hitting on me try to play coy when i ask how old they are. it's really not cute - it's scary. i'm 17. you're at least 30. how about no.

and when girls/guys get too clingy. i had this one gf who was all "omg i love you i miss you" when i wouldn't see her for more than 12 hours at a time. i don't like it when things are too easy - i like the thrill of the chase :D

stupidity. for instance, when you're watching a movie and they ask what's going on every 5 minutes.

"What turns you off?"

* People who abuse their power or authority, of whatever sort.

* People who make no effort to take care of themselves physically.

* People who eat gum with their mouths open.

* People who try to force what they believe on you.

* People who are willfully ignorant.

There's more, but that will do for starters.

Gay sex....and the Dutch.

Being tied to morality is generally disgusting in anyone.

Of course, a chick being overweight may be almost as disgusting.
Seriously people, it’s called willpower, get some.

So, not too picky then Smunkee?:D

I know there are a lot of these threads bu tI haven't seen any lately, so what turns you off in guys/girls? Me its abrasive, loud girls. Thats sratch there testies. :D

A lot of things but the biggest and most important thing I look for in any person I meet, whether I consider that person a potential candidate for a romantic relationship, or just a potential candidate for a friend:

Sense of humour

Of course, a chick being overweight may be almost as disgusting.

very true. Then again, I have no qualms about being shallow. It means I get to hang out with pretty people.

What turns me off?

People who start being all touchy on the first date. Call me me old school, but I DON'T WANT TO HOLD HANDS OR ANYTHING with someone I met half an hour earlier.

Also: women. It's not like I have something personnal against them, but boobies = ewww.

stupidity
ignorance
people who smoke
pushovers
ultra-uber conservatives

and people who are shallow

Sense of humour
thats abosolutely true. People with no sense of humor need to be shot in the face:sniper: But also like many others have said, hvae to be not stupid. Arrh.v I have having to explain a word to someone.

Damn it, I had a massive list compiled. I can't seem to find it.

I'll roll some off: Arrogant ignorance, stupidity, making generalizations, wearing too much perfume, wearing tight-fitting clothing while having a horrible figure, premature marital planning, argumentative for the sake of arguing.

Excessiveness

Being overweight is a turnoff for me, superficial I know. Sadly, also a double standard as I am overweight myself (Tho I can't say I've ever thought about turning myself on).

I'm turned off by people with a whole laundry list of "turn offs". Picky bastards.

I'm turned off by people with a whole laundry list of "turn offs". Picky bastards.

Who's to say they don't have an equally large list of turn-ons? ;)

-bump-

Got any queer reasons that utrn you off? Such as, I dunno? Webbed feet?

Also: women. It's not like I have something personnal against them, but boobies = ewww.

Hear, hear! Though, sadly, many men have them too.

And guys who over primp turn me off. Plucked eye brows? Waxed chests? Shaved pits and/or legs? A bathroom full of hair and facial products? Eww. If I wanted that I'd date women. I like my guys to be guys.

.

Hear, hear! Though, sadly, many men have them too.

The only thing ickier than female boobies are man-boobs.

On the other hand, nothing turns me on like a nice set of chiseled pectoral muscles, greek-god-statue-style.

Gotta disagree on this though. While I don't hate body hair within an inch of my life, I prefer hairless men. It just shows their features better.

I'm not attracted to metrosexuals, i don't want a guy who spends more time in the bathroom than me, and that wouldn't take much, but i don't like chest hair or back hair. I do like some facial hair though, clean shaven men often look too young.

Power surges and red-guage failsafes.

BO problems.
Shower regularly, dammit!

The girl being-
*Ugly
*Fat
*Too dumb
*Annoying
*Argumentative

Also: Girls who play hard to get, Girls who don't know what they want, Girls who don't want me, girls who don't meet my expectations, getting excited for nothing, and cellulite.

I missed like 49 things. Meh.

Yammering.

I'm a good listener, and I really don't mind listening to a half-hour of your life story because it can help me understand you. But, even I have my limit and it usually extends to a half-hour of one-sided yammering. I am pretty forgiving with nervous chatter, though, since that is something I've done more than once.

So, you'd better be planning on staying celibate or exploring gay sex, because you pretty much ruled out every female on the globe.

Not panthers.

Personality turn-offs: Inability to relate to me*, intolerance
Physical turn-offs: obesity, being male, doll-like blond hair

* - covers stupidity, ignorance, religious literalism, excessive subtlety, and minor things such as a lack of interest in science and/or science fiction

Poo.

And venereal diseases and obesity.

So, not too picky then Smunkee?:D
yeah, that was the very very short list. LOL

If I decided to list everything, it would seriously be like 6000 pages front and back single spaced.

My husband has only one annoying quality, but it's not that bad unless I am already in a bad mood, so I tend to over look it. LOL

You don't say "X [verb] only 1 Y" without defining Y.

What is this quality?

Poo.

And venereal diseases and obesity.

I'm trim and disease free, but I do poo on a regular basis. Damn.

Bah. I'm not into that six pack, sculpted look. It doesn't look natural. It falls into the over primping/narcissistic category IMO. I prefer real men. Natural men. Average men.

In addition to everything else, they usually have better attitudes. :p

But to each their own. :D

The only thing ickier than female boobies are man-boobs.

Too true. Atleast women are supposed to have them.

Heh. These are turn-offs, not requirements. The less of them, the more I am turned on by a girl.

It's okay as long as I don't have to see it. I honestly can't think of a bigger turnoff than crap.

okay, so you know how when you are saying a sentence like

"I like ham sandwiches, but not ones with cheese"

and how your tone of voice goes up a little before you add the "but"?

anyway, my hubby's tone goes up when there is no "but", so I keep waiting for the rest of the sentence, but there isn't an end to the sentence. It annoys me.

Heh, I never mentionned the six pack. Actually, I prefer men without six packs: they look too artificial for my taste. I like em with flat stomachs thoug, no beer guts like my ex. Who didn't even drink beer, but go figure.

How natural do you want them? :D

*lol*

Well, I do like some groomimg and atleast basic hygene.

It's okay as long as I don't have to see it. I honestly can't think of a bigger turnoff than crap.
How about blood?

Heh, I'll never be a fan of S&M.

How about blood?

Heh, I'll never be a fan of S&M.

That's gross, but not quite as gross as poop. I mean, blood can happen inadvertently.

Pus is about on par, though.

Clean-freak.

Ohh, right.

Major turn-off I forgot: Not shaving your shit.

Come on girls, we got to work down there. Do you know how much nicer it is to work in a field of grass, than a jungle? I do not want to get pubes in my mouth again. That shit is nasty.

Ha! I know what youre talking about. Let me tell you what mine does.
He will say things like: "how odd." "well thats interesting" "i did not know that" and he never elaborates. I have to say "WHAT is odd? WHAT is so interesting? WHAT didnt you know?"

It would be different if we were sitting together and I knew what he was referring to-like something on tv or something that happened right in front of us. But no, he will just walk into the room or in the house and say these things......and then no explanation. Not like he's mumbling it to himself in a low voice...then I wouldnt care cause I talk to myself all the time. But he says them emphatically TO me.....I wait for like 10 minutes sometimes until I'm about to explode just to see if he will tell m e what the hell is so odd/interesting/cool/etc. Of course I end up having to ask and then say "WHY DO YOU DO THAT??"

Sorry....Smunkees post just reminded me of that.

Heh, I never mentionned the six pack. Actually, I prefer men without six packs: they look too artificial for my taste. I like em with flat stomachs thoug, no beer guts like my ex. Who didn't even drink beer, but go figure.

Fair enough.

Flat stomachs can be quite nice. But there's nothing wrong with having a little something to hang on to either. :p Though I'd generally prefer that any extra weight was more evenly spread over the body. Little stick legs with a big belly looks kind of funny. But then, like most people, personality is usually the deciding factor for me and not looks or body type. No ones looks or body lasts in the long term.

Unless you date a ROBOT!

Hmm, I don't mind biting or being bitten. If blood was drawn, I'd probably be turned on. As long as it's not gushing out the jugular.

OMG my husband does that too........

"weird."
"what?"
"huh?"
"what's weird?"
"I don't know what's weird?"
"you just said "weird", what were you talking about"
"I don't know"

:headbang:

oh, or he will be cooking breakfast (he does that on Saturdays for me) and he will scream in the kitchen

"holy mother chicken!"

and I say "are you okay?"

and in a normal voice he's like "yeah, why?"

:rolleyes:

Clean-freak.
Then call me clean-freak too, I guess :p

Call me picky, but I want my partner to have both looks and personality. That must be why I'm still single...

Thank god. Otherwise you might have to look for a new partner every time you have sex.

Oh my God. That and what Peeches said - that's totally stuff that would drive me crazy. It's always the little annyoing things that kind of add up. Of course I'm still hoping that one day I'll happen across the guy where the adding-up won't mean that if he laughs that hyeana laugh one more time I'll have to slap him. And then leave him.

You know what I mean.

Thank god. Otherwise you might have to look for a new partner every time you have sex.

Now you have me wondering how it would feel to pierce said vein.

*adds death fetish to the top of his turn-off list*

That's seriously disturbing.

yeah, I seem to remember my dad doing that. (both the "weird" for no reason that he would tell us thing, and the string of profanity for no reason he would tell us thing)
I do both as well...I'll be thinking of something, and forget that not everyone can hear that, and will just say "huh. weird", and then forget what I was thinking about

I also let loose the chain of swears for no reason just because I find it funny. Immature? yes. But then, I'm a guy.


Is that purple smilie dead? That's so overkill.Nothing turns me on more than beating a dead horse. Er...purple blob....thingy...yeah.

Mission accomplished. Heheheh. :p

All this talk of death has got me thinking - if you were engaged in hot, steamy sex, and just as you were about to release from orgasm, your partner keeled over dead, would you finish it, or at least try to?

I totally know what you mean. I get annoyed so easily that when I found someone that didn't annoy me, I had to jump on the opportunity to marry him LOL.

But, yeah, he has a lot of little stuff, that I am finding out (tonight) is normal guy stuff. The truth is that if he did this stuff day in and day out and annoyed me with it for the rest of my life (and he just might) I still wouldn't leave him, because even then the good outweighs the bad, and the bad is so small that it's almost non-existent.

and even after...

Maybe I shouldn't have brought up postmortem sex. :(

Whining, Intolerance, and Disrespect are the big ones. If a woman overly embraces one or more of these vices, I don’t care if she looks like a supermodel, I’m not sticking around. A complete lack of sensuality is also a big turn off and I’m a bit creeped out by an excess of plastic surgery. Snoring is a bit of a turn off but not enough of a reason to actually dump someone (I mean it’s not like they’re intentionally trying to ensure you never sleep again).

The Bruce

Lack of manners, being rude.
People who are deliberately mean to others, or who laugh at another's expense

yup and yup, though i'd add in the bit in bold

i'd also add in arrogance, bad breath, and no sense of humour

-bump-

Smoking and a lack of reading for me.

Right! That and having achieved enlightenment are all I ask for.

*grin*

As far as I know (though I'm hardly an authority), actual webbed feet are pretty well unheard of except in thalidomide babies. My own single pair of webbed toes is a genetic fluke I seem to have gotten from my paternal grandmother; she, her four daughters, and I have the only such toes I've ever personally encountered, but I'd be surprised if we're the only partially-conjoined-toed people out there.

Stupidity, Obesity, Ignorance, Lack of Manners, Lack of Commen Sense, Lack of Style, Lack of Humor.

Oh, and a Penis.

... perchance; have either you, your aunts (possibly your mother as well) or your grandmother achieved enlightenment?

Being overweight is a turnoff for me, superficial I know. Sadly, also a double standard as I am overweight myself (Tho I can't say I've ever thought about turning myself on).
Hypocrisy is a turn off for me.

:eek:

Well, if there is some sort of afterlife, I suspect my grandmother has indeed achieved enlightenment there. As for the rest of us, I somehow doubt it. We're all far too crazy to be enlightened. :)

There are far too many turn-offs for me to list here. The biggest, however, is a girl that cant meet me on my level, i.e. I have to lower my level of intelligence to carry on a conversation. Generally speaking, I just dont engage in conversation with people like that.

Oh, and smoking. I dont dig the whole smoking thing.

The presence of one or more of the following:

- A penis.
- A vagina.
- Neither.

Definitely, on the intellgence, but I don't have much of a problem with smokers anymore.

Hm...
Turnoffs...
Following characteristics are a turnoff to me:
Male - I'm straight, and sure of it. That's all there is to it. ;)
Taller than me - That creeps me out to no end. Luckily, I don't meet very many girls that are taller than me

People who never get out of their house and expect you to be their whole world. Get some friends of your own!

Girls with bad breath..ugh,if your breath is bad, your pussy is worse;)

The presence of one or more of the following:
