| | What someone does that really turn you off?Page 1 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | What is one thing someone does that really turns you off?
The opposite question was asked in a recent pof thread that generated a lot of interesting responses, so I thought it might be interesting to hear about some of the things that turn people off. A lot of dating sites, past and present, ask applicants to list their"turn ons" and "turns offs" on their profiles which might help get to know someone and possibly avoid a dating faux pas. A good example of this might be a man who feels embarrassed because his date offered to pay the check, when he considers this a turn off. | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 6:05:02 PM | Turn offs include:
Controlling people
Needy/clingy people
Dishonesty
Selfishness
OK, this one is picky, but it drives me nuts...animated emoticons in any communication...I can overlook one or two, but more than that gives me the creeps. :) | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 8:23:19 PM | Talking about oneself in the third person, like George Constanza. (George likes soccer, geroge doesn't like base ball etc.)
Asking what was it in my profile that you liked the most?(are you out to take a poll or to really meet someone?)
When they wear too much cologne
Asking every ten minutes "how do you think this date is going?"(it was OK, until you asked that question ........again!) | |

Yes dear type of men, like they don't have an original thought in their head ( whatever you want to do blah blah blah)
Over the top compliments from a virtual (they come off so insincere)
Saying things they think a woman wants to hear (crap about a relationship etc.. with you when you've been on 1 or 2 dates (again insincere - and usually wrong because all women are not the same)
Terms of endearment from a complete stranger
Negativity - victim mentality (diversity is part of life - how ones deals with is the true test)
*edit* laziness and lacking in work ethic | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 8:46:04 PM | Asking, "Didja get it? Didja? Didja get that?" Yeah, I got it. It wasn't funny. Wanna get a hearty kick in your ass? That might be funny.
In a very slightly more sophisticated version of this, explaining what is happening as if I can't see it for myself. "See, the guy in the movie's a genius, so he's bored..." So am I. It was bad enough when it was just the movie that was talking down to me.
Similarly, assuming that I cannot possibly share a characteristic and expounding on it as if I must certainly know nothing about it. "Well, I'm a coffee snob. I only buy Starbuck's." Yeah? I think Charbucks is crap. I go to Polcari's. You sound like someone claiming to be a wine snob recommending Lancer's.
Luckily, as I age, I encounter less and less of this behavior. Less luckily, there's more and more nose hair. | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 10:18:55 PM | things that turn me off...
ugly guys hitting on me thinkingtheyre all that when theyre not
stupid people
materialistic people/people whos only thoughts are about money
people assuming they already know what i want before they get to know me. just because i have a vagina, theyll group me in with all the other women (eg: assuming that you being able to buy the things i want has anything to do with me accepting or rejecting ur @$$)
men who have different standards of behaviour for women than they do for themselves
men who are old enough to be my dad hitting on me (like u think ur money makes up for the generation gap)
facial hair
guys too obsessed with body image. i never liked built guys anyways
kissing my @$$ too much or otherwise being desperate | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 11:16:36 PM | bad manners - I understand that we all have the same bodily functions but you could at least say "excuse me"
bringing your ex to the party - I don't need to know what a **** your last girlfriend is 5 minutes into the conversation but I do appreciate the head's up that you're a bitter, miserable **stard who fully intends to take it out on me if I let you | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 2:01:25 AM | Bad teeth are number one as far as appearance goes.
As far as personality, if the man is rude to others, I'm out of there. And someone who is constantly negative is right up there too. If a person cannot be personable and friendly and positive, then I don't want to be around him. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 3:23:25 AM | 1. Effeminate men (blech) - number one turnoff
2. Using bad grammar (it makes one sound incredibly ignorant)
3. Constant negativity/bitterness/whining
4. Eyeballing every female within a 10-mile radius (beyond tacky and inconsiderate)
5. Bad table manners - if his eating habits remind me of feeding time at the zoo, there's a good chance we're not going to last | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 3:43:53 AM | - Weight (More than 160 lbs..)
- Heavy southern accent
- Being racist
- Cellphone addiction
- Complaints about my burping/flatulence. It's just gas people! You're much more harmed by gasoline fumes. There are just some table manners I'll never understand.
- Infinite supplies of sarcasm.
- Forcing me to attend church.
- Drugs/alcohol
- Abuse of swearing.
I'm very open minded about most things, but don't expect me to have proper table manners unless we're attending some sort of proper convention/dinner. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 7:06:14 AM | The biggest is stupidity. Either real or stimulant enhanced. I can NOT recover from hearing a man talk like a jackass. Which brings me to anger. It scares me and I wont live with it.
I have had a hard shake with this dating thing. So if his penis works, he has no crazy ex's, he doesn't talk about his ex constantly and he is drug and alcohol free. I will try to look the other way on some less important details.
But if you fart in public, I am out lol.. Unless it was an accident, that would be funny.
Weird about that fart in public thing, my step dad did, you'd think I'd be used to it xD
He'd even do it in supermarket lines, he would raise his leg and shout "excuse me" and laugh. He was an idiot. I told him to grow up when I was four. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 9:02:53 AM | To turn me OFF... all you have to do is;
Lie
Give me the truth, no matter how gruesome, difficult, odd, or disturbing it may be. I can handle the truth.
Lie to me,and you have lost me completely. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 9:08:25 AM | It turns me off when someone interrupts me - then takes over the conversation as if what I was trying to say wasn't important.
It turns me off when someone is judgmental.
It turns me off when someone attempts to control me.
It turns me off when someone thinks and acts like they know more than they actually do.
Good lord, the list goes on and on and on.... | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 9:41:46 AM | -Misandry and other forms of bigotry
-illiteracy
-People who believe in things without understanding why
-Contradictory beliefs such as being a Socialist/Leftist and also claiming to be an Anarchist at the same time.
-Immaturity
-Bad teeth
-Nose hair
-Ear hair
-people who expect you to be a mind reader
-people who only like you if you go along with what they say no matter how nonsensical it is
-girls that dress really hot to attract attention but then give dirty looks when people give them attention
-People that say one thing and then do another. Such as how some girls talk about wanting a nice guy... but then she goes for the Bad Boy... all the while complaining that every guy she's dated turns out to be an @sshole. And it gets funny when such a person talks about being smart...
-People that only like you or only have the time for you if you're doing favours for them.
-Electronic Gadget freaks who think that just because they own the newest cr@p, that makes them 'a techie'. | |
