Top few things that turn you off about women
Posted: 5/30/2007 1:37:26 PM

Do you really think this is helping you? So you're a tit-for-tat kind of guy.
It's about LOVE not WAR man, don't you get it?!
Well, good luck to you with this attitude - me I'll carry on accentuating the positive. Maybe try it on for size sometime.

Who are you directing this towards? Don't you all know how to use the quote and endquote tags to quote someone?
Anyway, if this was directed towards the OP, maybe you should take a look at pretty much every other male poster in this thread that came up with plenty of things that turn them off, many things were repeated several times, pretty much agreeing with the OP. So you're pretty much accusing all of us (including myself) for having this mentality. If this many people responded to the OP, then it has to be an issue. Or I guess we are all just tit-for-tat men that think it's about WAR not LOVE?

I would list my turn offs but they have pretty much already been listed in here.

Regarding indecisivness...
Women (at least this woman) will typically say "I don't know" when asked what they want to do for the evening because they like to date men that have a plan and take the lead. It's not necessarily that we are indecisive, we just want for YOU to make a decision.


And why can't women decide once in a while?

I go through this with my GF all the time, she just won't pick a place to go...

I don't want to have to pick all the damn time!

I agree with you on this point. Who said it is the women who has to choose? We could say the same thing about men. I ask them where they want to eat and they say it is upto you or they don't know. As I have gotten older a huge attraction for me is a man who can make a choice. I run a business by day and a household by night...I would like a break from making the decisions once in awhile.

What i think people mean when they refer to the "indecisiveness" is the fact that you may want a guy to "take charge" but by the same token, if we didn't want your opinion, we wouldn't ask you. Not being able to make a decision is forgiveable from time to time, as it happens to the best of us.. however, most of us don't want to have to take the lead 24/7, and would like to feel like we're not dating a brick wall.

Way i see it, if you're going to give the guy that much of an assertive role in what you do, where you go, etc... then you'd better not give a single complaint if he takes you somewhere that you don't like to go.

1. Moody (I can live with a little, because everyone can be moody sometimes)
2. Pushy (Confidence and some stubborness is cool, but a domineering personality blows)
3. Indirect (If it's sexual innuendo fine, but if it's about something serious it irritates the hell out of me)
4. Insufficent Chi (makes our autumn night duels in the courtyard kinda one sided)
5. Inability to block my my 'Five-Point-Palm Exploding Heart Technique' (deal breaker, like totally fatality like)

I guess you could call me the typical female, I can NEVER decide on where to go to eat. EVEN when Im hangin out with my girlfriends. "What do you want to do?" "Where do you want to eat?" and every time its the same response... "I don't know." lol Though ya know what, when you give a suggestion and its shot down, it doesnt count that we're indecisive. Last "date" I went on, it was nice I was picked up, he gave me some flowers, went to the park for a walk... then when it came time to eat, I did the typical response, thought for a few minutes suggested Salad Works... a diner... and then I think a pizza place. He took me to Fridays. If you're gunna ask, don't ignore my suggestions after I think about it!
I guess everytime I go out on a date with someone new I'm expecting him to surprise me with something he planned out. It would be nice to have one night thought out around you that you werent expecting. Yea its nice that both parties would have a say in what goes on, but just one night! lol

In no particular order...

1: Tattoos and piercings (not a deal-breaker, but I don't find them attractive.)
2: Lack of compassion towards others
3: Rudeness towards others
4: Avarice and acquisitiveness
5: Excessive and inappropriate drunkenness
6: Unreasonable irritability

The above may seem prudish (which I'm not by any stretch of the imagination), but a lot of the defects men perceive in women don't bother me in the slightest. I generally find jealousy and/or possessiveness, for example, quite amusing and endearing (provided it isn't insane or stifling.) I'm very indulgent towards what a lot of people would regard as feminine quirks.

Exactly! I should clarify that I would never complain if I asked him to choose and I would never complain anyhow. I would welcome a man who would pick , I think that is awesome! I also am willing to pick to! Easy! As it should be!

[Wow - who knew this would turn into a feel good thread for me? I do nothing on the "turn off" list so far, so I am feeling pretty good about my chances here! Great lists guys, I for one appreciate the honesty and will keep these in the back of my mind]

I was just thinking the same thing myself lyrical girl....the guy friends I have always said they like to hang out with me because I'm not like other females....I'm cool to hang with, and not too bad to look at either.....now I know why they always say that. I havent matched any of these "turn offs" that the guys are listing so far. Makes me feel good.

Maybe you guys are just finding the wrong women. Just a theory...!

O.P. I think you need to go and study women!

Some of the posts suggest lack of being able to make a decision as female. I don't agree this trait is gender related! Infact, re-reading the posts, most are not gender specific!

My biggest stumbling block with women is that they are "PERCIEVED" to be the weaker sex, (emotionally) and us men fool themselves into believing that.


Being arrogant, crass, and presumptuous doesn't help, either.



Cordless Taco:
One turn off that I've noticed on this site, more so than I've noticed in real life is that if a woman writes about a bad experience with a relationship all the women will come in and say what a jerk the guy was and how sorry they are for her. When a guy writes something very similar the women usually call him a wimp, and that women have every right to change there mind or be afraid of commitment and take off when they feel like it. Hypocrisy, I suppose.


Complete and utter hypocrisy, dear sir.

That's when I hear how bad their Nth boyfriend at the time is treating them, I've walked off with several women or tuned them out, or asked, "Why the FUCK are you still seeing him for? Either shit or get off the pot."

That's what us men hear. Welcome to the brave new world of equality.

Fear of honesty.

I can handle (and in fact love) a woman's emotional being. But being afraid to be herself when dealing with me, especially in private, is a big turn off for me.

I'm not indecisive, but sometimes i want him to make a decision about what we do, seems spineless and just not fare that decisions about where to go and what to do is left on the woman's shoulders (which seems to happen to me alot). It would be nice if a man called me up and said lets go out here and do this and this...wow that impresses me, however he should be flexible and understanding too if it won't work for me.

High Maintenance
Mindgames
Untrustworthiness
Lack of intelligence
Lack of a sex drive
Narrowmindiness

BTW, except for one, I don't like these traits in guys either. Guess the one I don't care about.

Constantly... repetitively... neverending... all the time... asking, "what are you thinking?"
However, answers such as "your best friend" and "your mum" can be very effective in discouraging this.


This happened to me all the time in one relationship. I never really came up with an effective retort. Glad you found one! I always just said blowjobs. I am not sure she liked that. I didn't end up getting more blowjobs.

I had a fiancee that constantly asked me what I was thinking. I always gave her an answer because I was always thinking about something.

She always seemed so fascinated by my answers. My answers were not all that outstanding-I just literally told her what I was thinking of.

Finally she told me why she always asked what I was thinking and why it fascinated her so.

She had never met a man who was always thinking of something. The rest of the men she had dated were not thinking of anything at all. She swears they were not lying or pulling her leg.

I am always thinking of something. I figured everyone else was like that to.

To you women who say you have none of these traits listed I call Bull shit,



Ffs you going to tell me you never complained about your food not being right?

Or you never answered and said I dont know? where would you like to go?

BULL SHIT!!!

I could list many others... But wont.

I do send my food back if it is not well done when I ask for it to be well done. I pay good money for good food!!!! If I want raw food I can grab a burger from a fast food resturant...

This is a matter of standing up for yourself and getting what you pay for!

You can do it with class .

OMG I want to Scream I hate liars...

Guys you all are way cool to be so honest, But I will have to say some of you have high standards and I wish you good luck. But most wome will do atleast 1 of things you have listed if they are honest with them self....



Enjoyed reading and thank you guys for your honesty...

By the way for saying you are not hard on the eyes, To each their own on that one, you are again right in that sentance doing what some of these guys have listed... LMAO night all..

Here was my list:
High Maintenance
Mindgames
Untrustworthiness
Lack of intelligence
Lack of a sex drive
Narrowmindiness

I believe that most women do not have any of the above traits.

That said, I do believe that everyone should have high standards. Why settle?

I have seen many people get into bad relationships because they did not have high enough standards. When they finally figured out what was truly important to them and raised their standards accordingly, they found a longer time to find the next relationship...and usually that was the relationship that made them happy for life.

Unfortunately, part of the process is going through the bad relationships to figure out what a person does and does not want or need.
