You know how they used to do on the show. They’d just not date someone because they were too tall, too short, too perfect, and all of the other classics. So, do any of you have anything like that? I’m talking about the turn offs that other people might deem fucking stupid, and pointless.
For me, one of the biggest turn offs is when a gal’s upper gum shows. I can’t express in words how much I hate that, it just totally disgusts me in every way. I went on a blind date with someone once, a friend set us up, and when I met her she smiled a huge ass smile and it revealed her upper gum and right then and there…it was over.
I was thinking of the upper gum thing myself; I call that “horsey teeth,” although I know that’s not really what horsey teeth are.
I turned down a second date with a woman because she had a moustache. We’re not talking about a little bit of light fine hair above the lip; it was this was a dark, very distinctive moustache. Hirsute women in general are a turn-off for me. I know some here love 'em, but in my eyes the hairiness seems to blur the line of physical differences between men and women.
Like Seinfeld, I’m turned off by man hands. However, I don’t like itty bitty teeny tiny baby doll hands either. I’ll feel like I’m holding hands with an eight year old.
Women who own “cute” cars with distinctly feminine colors, like purple or pink, are an instant turn-off. Usually, it’s an indicator of a set of character traits that I’d rather avoid; huge Beanie Baby collections, a living environment adorned by extreme kountry kitsch, and the forwarding of glurge by e-mail to hundreds of her closest friends.
In the world of online dating, I tend to avoid women where every one of their profile pictures shows them hugging someone or something.
I’ve posted this before - once, in my callow youth, I was getting ‘friendly’ with a girl when I noticed she had horrible elbows. Like Popeye’s. So I left.
OK, I can live with this.
What bugs me is when you can still see their ex-boyfriends/husbands (or parts thereof) in the picture - surely you could scan a new picture, or at least photo-shop him out?
Ah, it doesn’t matter much anyway - has any real, decent woman (as opposed to, say, p0rn paysites come-ons) posted a actual on-line ad since 2001?
You are so right with that one. My ex used to say her mom was her best friend and I realized that her mother considered our relationship a competition for her daughter’s friendship. I lost.
My “Seinfeld” ;
I won’t date someone who does not have at least a BS degree. My ex thinks I am shallow for doing this.
I had a rather enjoyable night with a friend of my sister. I had just got my head around the fact that I may end up seeing quite a bit of my sister because of this when I turned on the TV at the end of my bed.
A Shot in the Dark had just stared. I laughed a lot, she didn’t. She even commented on how she hates Peter Sellers and all Woody Allen movies.
If they are over-weight, it is a huge turnoff for me. Exponentially so, meaning that slightly above average is somewhat off-turning but add a few pounds and it’s completely out-of-the-question off-turning.
That and stupidity. Stupidity is incredibly disgusting in a woman, which is a big problem since a decent amount of women seems to think that men actually want them to be stupid (which might be true in some cases unfortunately).
I also hate when I take a gal out and when she gets her drink, have it be a coke or whatever, she asks for it without any ice. That really rubs me the wrong way.
An anti-iceite.
She’s all “Yes, I’ll have a coke please…no ice” and I’m like “are you serious” and she’s all “yes I am, it makes my drinks cold” and I’m like “YOU F’N WEIRD BITCH”.
Women whose legs meet their feet without a reasonably tapered ankle are mercilessly tossed from my dating pool without so much as a towel or a pair flip-flops (which they’d look lousy in, by the way.)
Seinfeld ain’t got nothin’ on me. A few of the reasons I’ve stopped seeing a woman:
We went to an Italian restaurant and she ordered mashed potatoes.
I didn’t like the way she laughed. It sounded too much like yelling.
She didn’t like talking about her family (none of whom were abusive or criminals or anything), but she went on and on about her tiny yip-yip dog.
She thought her Bengal cat was made by breeding Bengal tigers with housecats.
And one of my all-time biggest pet peeves is when a woman has methodically plucked out all of the hair from her eyebrows, only to re-draw lines on her forehead. It’s the female toupee. Who do they think they’re fooling?
My ex-boyfriend used to do that no ice thing and his theory was that you got more of the beverage that way. Of course, just about every place in the U.S. has free refills. But he was from India so I had to cut him a little slack.
