Thought of two more:

Men who profess any belief whatsoever in the ability of self-proclaimed psychics, palm readers, tarot cards, or who believe the spirit of their dead grandmother visits them.

Gum-chewers. A revolting habit.

My sister once declined a second date with a guy because he used Chap-Stick at the table after dinner. It just turned her off.

Ever had a girlfriend that dresses the same as her best friend?  
When you doubledate its like you date twins. same hair, same make-up, same clothes, same purse, same shoes…  
aaaaaaarhgh do they share a brain?

Women with hairy armpits or hairy legs, yuk yuk yuk  
you are cuddling, letting your hand slide down her legs and you feel the fur. brrrrr creepy  
Or when she is wearing a short tshirt and the hair is longer then her sleeves.

Ever had a girl that said "whatever you like to do " every time you ask her something? feels like eddy murphy in coming to america.

Stalking women. Have had those 2. wherever you are they are. they call you any time a day and night, send you presents, start crying if you ignore them, make a scene. feels like “fatal attraction”.

what about women that look at soaps all day and talk about nothing else? they get upset if a favorite character has a misfortune in the series. GET A LIFE

And now my biggest turn off. because daddy is a successful guy, they feel like they have been produced with better seed?? das ubermensch oder uberfrau. They mostly end up with a rich guy fixed up by dad, get 3 kids, get fat and ugly , get dumped and traded in for a younger version and a sports car. Life is good hehe.

Women who’s faces are not symmetric. mostly because the family is a little bit 2 close.

Or a woman that has no symmetric body. thin above the waist, superlarge under it. or visa versa. and YES in my humble opinion women who have a nice figure but who had a breast implant DD. come on keep it in proportion.

scary eyebrows on men! gahhh, I can’t stop looking at them. a _minimal_ tweezing effort would go a long way.

hmmm. this is a hard one to describe. I dislike short haircuts on men that leave a lot of hair on the back of the neck… you know, instead of it being tapered down it’s just this big clump sitting on the back of the collar. taper, dammit!

glasses that are too small for his face. too large, I can deal with, but too small? yuck.

long hair is ok, but PLEASE take care of it. and some men just cannot pull off long hair. if it looks oily, flat, unbrushed, not taken care of- it’s a dealbreaker.

also, large pieces of jewelry on men. noooo way.

And PLEASE if you have a mole on your face, REMOVE THE HAIR FROM IT. please please please. That is the most important rule of all.

Bad shoes–not shoes in poor repair necessarily, I mean shoes that should never have been created, much less WORN. Like those nasty ankle-high shoe/boots with zippers on the sides, from the 70’s.

Long hair on guys.

Ditto on men w/women butts. My disgust knows no bounds.

Men with excessive food dislikes, like they are still three.

Guys who are losing their hair and get all weird about it. Just cut it close and deal – guys who are losing it and then talk about restoring it via drugs, transplants, wigs, etc. etc. – like that is more attractive than just showing some friggin’ SACK and at least PRETENDING it doesn’t make a difference.

WOW, I must be getting better as I get older, as my hair has, shall we say retreated (slowly thank god) I have lost the unibrow, I now have two distinct eyebrows, and quite well shaped I must add. When I was 12 my aunt kept insisting on paying for eyebrow waxes for me, I ALWAYS refused,(except once) I usually looked like one of those famous Sesame St. characters.

Another turnoff for me  
Girls with a unibrow.

Does anybody ever had a girlfriend that wore Donaldson clothes?

You know those asexual, unstyleful clothes with a micky mouse on the back or on the front pocket if its a shirt?

How that stupid brand still sells I don’t know. Cartoon figures on your clothes are for children and NOT sexy.

I believe the proper term for that is “cankle” which is when the calf and ankle are indistinguishable from each other.

I don’t like people that don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re”. That gets my gaggle of goats.

Men: Cologne. Even in small amounts.

Women: Thick, fake fingernails with nail art.

Both sexes: Artificial tans. The “Winter Tan” eek.

I hate it when a man acts like he can do anything and knows something about everything. A man who can admit that there is something he can’t do or something he doesn’t know about would be so refreshing.

Re: What does Dolores rhyme with?

> [@](#):

Ahh… never quite got that…

You see, I pronounce clitoris the same way John Cleese does in _Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life_ “You don’t have to go leaping straight for the clitoris like a bull at a gate. Give her a kiss, lad.”

I’m also an antismackite. I can’t stand it when people chew with their mouths open and smack their food… it’s just so crass, and I lose all respect. Not to mention it’s unappetizing to watch.

I used to joke that I had only two physical standards for dating a woman: 1) I have to be able to eat while I look at her, and 2) I have to be able to lift her, unassisted.

Then I violated number 2.
