I would like to see what everyone else finds unappealing in the opposite sex. Any stories, rumors, bad jokes, experiences are appreciated.My personal "turn offs" include the following: Smugness, Unwillingness, Hyperactivity, Frigity, *real* whining, unnatural look, seemingly fake smiles, and smoking in front of me while I can smell it -Drasca

Turn offs, eh? Well, with people of either gender, I hate it when they allow me to rant about something nerdy for what seems like a long time, but really haven't been listening at all. Like I was talking about MUSCLE Men (remember? the plastic toys? about an inch or two tall?) and when I'm DONE my girl-i-have-a-crush-on informs me that she doesn't know what I'm talking about. Maybe I talk really fast and so she couldn't get a word in? I hope not. ack. I also dislike: people who think I care how they look when I'm coming over to hang out, people who play hard to get, people who don't like cartoons... You know, I just don't wanna date such heretics!  --kat

If they don't read (and it has to be a bit more than the occasional Koontz, King, etc fluff) then I don't need em. Which of course spawned second date at the book store coffee shop. :^)

Sheesh, I didn't know how conciously picky.. well actually annoyed we are about the opposite sex..Now-a-days, for me at least, I find someone nice that I'd like, can talk to and have fun with.. and when I do find out just what their status is always being taken. Sucks for me, but some guy out there is lucky.. and if he doesn't appreciate that... then either I, or someone else who will appreciate the girl will eventually walk with her down the road of life.. or at least for a little bit down the road  Also, I don't like those who aren't willing to open up in the least bit or realize their own strengths, weaknesses and what is going around them. People can get so jaded sometimes, that the obvious answer is between on their nose and they can't see it. All I want right now is to spend some regular good times with a compatible gal, and get intimate (to some degree) every once in a while. Hopefully our OS' are able to communicate without too many anonymous errors or only do searches for viruses in the system... ------------------

I actually like a bunch of different characteristics in men. I'm not looking for a cookie cutter. I do have a few dislikes.
1. smoking: lost my mom to that. won't go there again.
2. I don't want to have to be stupid to make you feel better. You don't have to share all my interests, it is actually more fun if we have some different interests, but please don't expect me to act dumb.
3. Guys who say they will call when they won't. Just let us know. We are big girls, we can take it.

There is just two:
Stupidity.
Arrogance.
Note: Stupidity, not ignorance.
Also Note: I occasionally show these qualities myself, thats why I haven't put hypocrisy. ![[Wink]](wink.gif) Seriously, I do sometimes show these qualities myself but I am not proud of this. This is why, if I were cloned I would not like me.

I actually have a list of turn offs in My bondage.com profile. The list grows slowly but it takes time to find things that bother you enough to turn you off. So here it is "Zorro's deal breakers, version 8.0..............Z
There are only a few things I won't tolerate. (this list is subject to grow) #1-people who are easily offended. (I don't edit myself, I say it how I feel it, at least I am honest.) #2 The self righteous. (If you think you are somehow better than everyone for any reason because of your views on life, you are not what I want to be with.) #3 The all mighty judge. (God is the only one who may give judgement on Me, you have no right to do so, if you think you do, then you will only be ignored and considered an unperson.) #4 smokers (I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke and I will not tolerate being around it. I really couldn't care less when you plan on quitting.) #5 Vanillas (If you aren't in the lifestyle, then don't even waste My time. If I wanted a normal girl I'd go to church more often. Pretenders aren't welcome either. If you are only exploring this lifestyle, you are also a waste of My time. I don't want to get involved with someone who is going to find out later that they don't enjoy BDSM.) #6 those who think they are not good enough. (I don't care how tall you are, how small you are, how old you are, or any other reason you can come up with for not liking yourself. I have dated girls from 4`7" to 6`5" in all shapes and sizes and have never turned down friendship based on looks. I have no racial preference.) #7 People who use any of the following words in normal conversation (phat, bling bling, da bomb, crib, basically any of those kinds of words will annoy Me to the point that I will try to avoid you.) #8 Overly trendy people. ( I find people that try to keep up with the trends merely an amusement and don't have much respect for them. If you are unsure what makes you qualify as trendy, just ask. I like people that are original and prefer to be themselves. If I wanted a clone I would order one.) #9Hey I'm still working on this list, there will be more for sure.
I hope you enjoyed that, I will not date a girl that falls anywhere on that list.......Z

- smoking, cologne, really bad breath, lots of breath-freshener - any strong smell at all really is going to irritate me (unless it's a climbing trip, in which case we'll all stink so who gives a fsck?)
- cellphone ringtones
- talking big - if you can talk the talk but can't walk the walk, you have just lost all my respect
- closed-mindedness
- excessive neediness - I am 22, I am a grad student, and I don't need a child. If you want your gf to be your mommy, look elsewhere
- taking your frustrations/stress/anger/depression/whatever out on me or anyone else. People and animals are not punching bags or dumping grounds and you have no right to treat them that way
- liars
- complete and utter lack of common sense
Needless to say, my dragon hasn't landed himself anywhere on that list. ![[hearts]](graemlins/hearts.gif)

I'm reminded of a survey they did in the UK recently. various 'relationship crimes' were listed, and women were asked whether they constituted 'relationship breakers' or not.
Women were surprisingly forgiving of their men having affairs.
Some would even forgive their men having affairs with other men.
The least forgivable offence in the entire list was BO.

Crikey, you people are intolerant!
There is no one thing that would stop me from dating someone. As long as the good bits of them outweigh their bad bits by a sizeable margin, then hurrah.
There isn't a perfect person, just people that are better and worse.

and the 'bad eyes' one relates to soulful eyes, whether they are physically attractive or not.
maybe i should have put them all in the one line...?

I agree, littlefish. And if you haven't found irritating things about your main squeeze, you probably haven't got to know them well enough yet.
And that's from a happily married perspective, for any of you about to write me off as a bitter and twisted older bloke.

I agree, littlefish. I think my list was quite short, though. Hmphf! ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Too many people are looking for the perfect person or the perfect body, whether consciously or not.

Yeah, and lemme guess, the best part is when they say, "Am I litigious? Oh, no, I never go to church."
