ok this is a slight rip-off from [THIS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=104572) thread. But after this weekend I just had to start it. For me it would have to be:

1. women who talk waaaayyyy too much about their pets.

2. women who keep a messy home or car.

anyone else?

Bad breath. I guess that’s not weird, though…

I think girls with large chins are gross, especially a cleft chin. The idea of being with a woman with a cleft chin makes me want to puke. I see it as a male trait, I guess.

In porn, the traditional pose where the woman leans over and spreads her vaginal lips wide open. Sorry, some guys may get a rise out of that (pink meat, and all), but it evokes a softening reaction from me.

Lack of body hair.

Specifically, plucked eyebrows. Bald brow ridges—yuck!

Spunk turns me off. I read a q&a column and someone asked what spunk was made of. The answer was something like 40% mucus and some other stuff. I just started thinking about how many times I’ve swallowed and now I can’t stand to see it.

Overly large or fake breasts. Excessive makeup (the kind that requires a permit from the EPA to remove).

Role playing.

I don’t mean the kind where you agree to play out a fantasy together, I mean the kind where one person seems to be casting the other as an actor in their little scripted scenario, relating less and less to you and more and more to the screenplay they’re playing out in their head the closer you get to the bed.

Gawd, I am SO shallow…

facial blemishes, like warts or moles

smooth-chested men. If you ain’t got hair, I ain’t there.

uncut men.

Large amounts of chest hair; hairy backs.

Really pale eyes. Once knew a guy whose eyes were such a light shade of blue they looked bleached and watery. Definite turn-off. I like eyes that can hold their own, whether they’re rich brown like Gunslinger’s or a strong shade of green or blue.

Women who aren’t “participative” in bed. Biting, scratching, rolling, grabbing and making loud noises is good. Closing your eyes, not saying anything and being totally focused on yourself is bad.

Women who talk to their pets as “precious widdle snookums wanna spwecial tweat?”

</div>

Poor table manners: mouth hanging open, utensils clanking against the plate, etc.  
Lack of interest in reading: I’ve quit on people I’ve been very attracted to the moment they say (often with pride), “I don’t read,” or “Geez, I haven’t read a book since high school.” What do you _do_ with your free time?
