Posted: 11/4/2009 5:38:57 PM | what turns me off is people who have too many things that turn them off
some people are amazingly self-centered and picky, with almost
no real tolerance to accept/endure any traits that are not to
their liking. For all the talk of "tolerance" today, I think
we actually becoming an increasingly intolerant society
that sees things merely in terms of "what have you,
or can u, do for me lately?".
the divorce culture in which we are immersed is in
no small part the result of a modern trend
towards a demand for perfection
in the other person,
defined as them
being exactly
what
i
think
they
should
be
and
there
is
very
little
margin
4
error
we
do
not
tolerate
dissent
well
if
at
all | |

-Inappropriate or effortless emails
-Separated and/or married trying to date a single person

-Lacking etiquette/class
-Rude and unsympathetic mannerism
-Someone that does not allow the other to get in a word during a conversation
-Someone that is "in love" with themselves....lol
-Someone that does not possess confidence - lets not confuse this with****/arrogant behavior
-No eye contact while conversing
-Dead beat parent

Posted: 11/4/2009 7:39:55 PM | I'll narrow it down to first-date deal-breakers...
Snapping/popping gum.
Bad teeth.
Cell phone on and takes calls and/or texts. Once is usually ok though.
Looking all around the place where we are meeting and supposed to be talking to each other.
Too much foul language.
Comes to a first meeting with a friend in tow.
Visible tattoos, but I've learned to ask about those beforehand now.
I'd say smoking, but I wouldn't even be meeting a smoker. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 7:53:28 PM | They've probably been mentioned before, actually, they most certainly have.
The more "Serious" turn offs:
-Drug users.
-Alcoholics.
-Liars.
Of lesser importance, but still, turn offs:
-Men that wear boxers./Cringe
-The use of "texting/internet" lingo. Haiiiiiiiiiii!, I r can b @ur house 4 1? Lol, WTF?
- Or, just poor grammar in general.
- The inability to think philosophically, or, understand it.
That's...About it. | |

When you're getting to know someone and they insist on going on and on about their ex(es). Really turns me off.
I couldn't agree more. I get so sick of listening to that. Bad teeth seems to be coming up a lot in this thread too. I am really sick of that as well. Bad grammar is just something that is equivalent to scratching fingernails on a blackboard.
We all seem to agree on a lot of the same things that are turn offs. Too bad the people doing it can't even see it  | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 9:31:13 AM | Being excessively negative
Taking calls/texts while on dates early in the relationship
Smoking
And while this has never happened to me on a date, one thing that really turns my stomach is people who clip their nails in public. Believe it or not, I've seen people doing this on the bus/train, in class, and in the office. IT'S PERSONAL HYGIENE, PEOPLE! IT BELONGS IN THE BATHROOM, and I would immediately walk out, never to be heard from again. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 11:25:13 AM | Yeah...it absolutely makes me retch. Talk about nails on a chalkboard *CLIP* ...*CLIP*...*CLIP*...
For the record, though...I've never seen anyone doing their toes. But still... | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 4:47:48 PM | | Smoking and spelling and sms'ing. I'm serious. Oh and men who are subtly controlling...............you don't notice at first and then realise they are trying to organise everything you do. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 5:10:00 PM | Dogmatic positions on ANYTHING.
I cannot and will not put up with someone who cannot say they could be wrong.
This is a 100% dealbreaker.
I mean I will walk away.
Nothing will change my mind about this.
I am completely certain.
In all seriousness, being dogmatic to me is indicative of a narrow mind. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 5:15:42 PM | Unreliable people...I've cut off friends because they're unreliable...it shows a lack of respect to the other person...another turn off...why be around someone who obviously doesn't respect you enough to follow through...alternatively when someone is very reliable...huge turn on  ...and liars...I don't like liars and disrespectful people... | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 5:21:37 PM | When a couple are in a FWB relationship and the woman later decides she wants more. The man will always decline and the woman will always create a scene.
Have just joined the forums this morning and have had three come up already. You women need your heads read. | |

Less luckily, there's more and more nose hair.
Ah yes, but that's why tweezers were invented! But follicles in some places is nice.
On topic; things that turn me off? Rudeness and cruelty to people who have less, particularly when it's designed to humiliate.
People who think wealth is the only kind of success you can have.
Vicious and duplicitous people, schemers and manipulators.
Passive-aggressive people (maybe that's covered above?)
Wow, look at me, didn't mean to sound so negative, I'm pleased to report there are so many things that are good as well to counter this. Most people I know are basically good and decent and radiate positive energy. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 11:55:19 PM | when women claim they're smart. There's a very select few women in the world who run around telling anyone who'll listen that they're smart, or strong and sometimes both. It's a HUGE turn off, smart women are a HUGE turn ON, but the opinionated, loud mouth, attention seeking "strong smart" women, are so god aweful.
I should say that about guys too, but im not physically attracted to men, so its not a sexual turn off, just a 'geez how did i piss god off enough to deserve experiencing this person. again!'
other than that, *shrugs* | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 5:14:48 AM | | I once went on a date with someone who said he only smokes occasionally, but he went out of the pub roughly every 10 min for a cigarette, leaving me alone, which already annoyed me. But to make matters worse, while he was outside he bumped into an old girlfriend he had lost contact with. And with me watching through the window, started exchanging numbers and have a flirty catch up. The next cigarette break had me leave through the back door. | |
