What are your instant turn-offs where it concerns attraction? I'm not talking about the obvious like poor hygiene. I'm talking about those silly, quirky little things that you think probably wouldn't bother anyone else....but they just make your butt cheeks clench every time you enounter them.

One of mine....I'm working on getting over this one becuase it does seem incredibly trivial but:

People who constantly use a single letter or number in place of an entire word! Example: "How R U?" or "I already 8 dinner"

What? I'm not worth the energy of typing out the entire word? Not worth the "a" or the "e" or the "y" or the "u"?

Burns my ass EVERY time!

But I'm getting over it...can't you tell?

How R U, OR? I :heart: U.

Hmmmm. I think I may need to lay low for a little while after this.

when someone can't read well online.....you type something and they read way too much nito what you've typed.....really pisses me off
 
people who can't carry on an intelligent conversation. And think talking about how well they are hung is an instant turn on.

Would you believe, unpolished, scuffed up shoes!

even my sneaks?

BTW, I'll have lots of pics of your pretty castle in a few days, 'rentals have been there for a week!

I am reasonably certain that I can find a way to more than compensate you for sharing... :p :p :D :p :p


and sneaks are not shoes, they are sneaks.
 
Another instant turn-off for me....BLING! Damn it all to hell! I am sooo sick of the BLING!

I detest flashiness and ostentatiousness.
 
Someone with no sense of humor, or someone that is obviously angling for something, but can't ask for it outright.

You pullulating excrudescence of obstreperous obfuscation! Huh?? :D :D
 
Rude or aggressive drivers. If I'm in a car with a man and he's a rude or agressive driver...there will be no second date.

I should also add gratuitous horn honkers to the list. LOL
 
Luckily I'm old enough (I think) that this isn't an issue any more..but guys who insist on putting those stupid neon lights on the underbelly of their cars...and the extra loud stereo systems....

Ooooh, the ghetto sound systems. I'm glad I'm too old to have to encounter that now. But I hated it even when I was younger. I dated a guy who had NO back seat....just a bunch of speakers. I was soo embarrassed to be seen in the "boom" car. :eek:

yes....i hate that, also
 
On a dinner date, someone who cannot order from the menu without redesigning the dish they ordered, being unkind to or overly demanding of the waitstaff, refusing to leave a reasonable tip.

Ooooh, good one, Glynnis. All of those. But, I have to confess I'm a little guilty of the first. I detest onions and seemingly everything every restaurant makes has onions. :eek:

I agree. can't eat them. And I'm allergic to Tomoatoes and pretty much every bell pepper on the planet. So I have to mod a bunch of meals. Usually I just order from what I don't have to. I worked in a kitchen and I didn't much care then, Why torment when I've been there. If you can't carry an intelligent conversation or flirt a little I don't see you in an attractive fashion.

man sandals

But I love my leather greave sandals. They're comfy. And they don't fall apart. And my boots are too got in summer. And my sandals look good with my slut shorts.

Ok my hate-on's

People who will, turn me down, or not show up, or dump me. Just to see my reaction to thier tests. Ask it's easier. All you accomplish with that, call it playing hard to get if you want, is destroying any interest I may have in you. If you want to play hard to get tell me to wait. Or any of the other myriad of tricks.

People who try to purposely get me angry. I can't tell you how much this bothers me. I am very capable of hurting people. I will hurt people when I'm angry. I don't like being angry. it scares me. Because I MIGHT hurt someone. Why make me?

And finally. Blondes.

Don't know why. Just blonde turns me off.

I'm with you on the intelligent conversation, bit. I simply cannot abide an inability to effectively commuicate and don't suffer idiots lightly.

Hmmm....you know "hurt" can be a relative term....there IS a good kind of hurt, you know? Just HOW easy is it to get you angry enough to "hurt" me? ;)

ETA: Aawww, man! Ditch the man sandals!

:eek: Oh god I'm going to be on this thread for a week... :rolleyes:

Turn offs... I have sooo many turn offs lol

Insensitive. I can't stand a guy that can't sympathize with anyone. It's just not human to me.

Shrill or sudden laughter. My aunt just married a man that out of no where give this neighing laugh that makes me skin crawl... after I've dug my claws out of the ceiling.

Fashion obsessed. Something about a guy that pays more attention to fashion than I do (and I don't pay much lol) really bugs me.

What me and my best friend refer to as "Ghetto Tongue." Anyone that CAN'T (I don't mean doesn't often, I mean literally CAN'T) speak properly.

No appreciation for the written word. I'm a writer, I've been published more than once, and I'm a complete biblophile. If you can't appreciate a good novel, screenplay, or poem, you aren't getting a foot in the door with me.

And I'll stop here because now I'm thinking about all the men who I wanted to kick their ass lol :eek:
 
Oh dear, I guess I'd never get a second date with Rose, I can be a rude driver, but only if someone else has cut me up or been an asshole to me, and, my car has a fairly big sound system, not to the extent of having no rear seats but it does "boom" well enough........ :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
