Ooh, fun thread.
Non-smokers.
Posessiveness
Guys who feel it’s necessary to know something about everything and always have some personal experience with the topic at hand. Hearing “Ya know, I really know fsckall about that particular subject” once in awhile really rocks my socks.
Crying.
Clinging.
A complete lack of personal accountability.
Excessive indecisiveness.
Emotionally damaged men who wear their baggage as though it were a badge.
Bitterly insecure boys.
Constantly assuming that everything somehow directly relates to them… Ugh ugh ugh.
Okay. I’m gonna go shower and try not to think about boys now.
Yes, cat haters! Gah. I can’t stand cat-haters. Like petting the kitty will somehow diminish their mascuilinity. Puhhleaze.
Also, I don’t care much for men who act like… men. Sports, burping, smashing beer cans against ones head, picking fights… bleh. I don’t care what happened during the last Nascar race, really.
And vegans. splurf. It’s too large of a culture gap for me to bridge.
However, for a million… and assuming that they were safe and I was single, I’d try to grin n bear it, I’m sure.
Some notable exceptions might be Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Lawler, and most sports commentators.
Ftr: I’m 24 and female.
Yup Davebear, some people are mean and nasty to teachers. I’ve given up trying to figure out why precisely, and stick around with people who are sweeties (like you!). So that this isn’t a total hijack; it isn’t nice to follow a girl around all night, relating how everyone in her profession conspired to ruin his life for no reason at all. Even worse is when this same dufus then implies you’d be easy to get into bed because you’re all aquiver over his money and powerful job and you, you silly little slut, should just be jumping at the chance at a catch like him. He managed to hit nearly every turn-off mentioned in this thread. I think I even saw him picking his nose!:eek:
And smoking isn’t on my official, laminated turn-off card because a smoker wouldn’t even show up on the radar. Like if he were married, a smoker is neuter to me. I don’t mean any nastiness to smokers, just explaining my particular brain-quirk.
Oh, I’m not such a sweetie. Ask Branwen. But, I’d be happy to punch that guy’s lights out for you, just on general principles. Even if you wouldn’t ever notice me, behind my cloud of smoke.
Bad breath
Arrogance
Emotional Unavailability (usually not realized for a while)
Sorry but - a guy who dresses funny, like out of date, or wrinkled or mismatched
Unibrow
Skeevy guys who don’t try to hide that they only want to screw you when they first say hello
Really out of shape bodies
TOO MUCH COLOGNE - YUK!
Guys who are cheap and want me to pay for everything
Guys who are all into having expensive toys and make me feel like an additional accessory
Guys with too many other female friends
Guys who are condescending
Excessive Weakness
Mama’s boys
Liars
Guys who are too clingy and possessive
Guys who try to kiss/grab/fondle me in public
Guys who jump and leave right after sex
Guys who stay too long in the morning
Yikes, that was pretty long. It’s amazing I ever go out with anyone
I don’t know about amazing, but it’s impressive that you can find guys who can follow BOTH of those last two rules. Or, do you hand them a schedule on your way to the bedroom?
Not singing. I don’t care how bad you sound, just sing.
Rating women outloud. Rating women based on looks is asinine and unacceptable, but doing it outloud is just primitive.
Not seeing the fine line between being physically affectionate and being clingy.
Refusal to dance. This is a big one because it shows excessive self-consciousness and inhibitions. A man’s freedom on the dance floor reflects his freedom in the bedroom…or at least that’s what my mother always said.
Guys who think my job is cute. Teaching is a profession, not a hairstyle.
Bad manners. Use a napking, for God’s sake. And don’t call my Dad “Big Jack” unless he’s given you permission.
Faking knowledge about a subject. As was stated earlier, just say you don’t know what the fuck I’m on about.
Men who eschew feminism. Similarly, men who are ashamed of the things they love. If you’re into Warhammer, be proud of it. I’ll respect your interests if you respect mine.
Who would I not sleep with even for a large sum of money? Well, I’d never sleep with anyone for money, so I guess if I were asked the question, who would I never sleep with under any circumstances I’d have to say
Vin Diesel - I’d rather have my vagina sewn shut.
I would, however, give Jack Black a go. Just thought I’d mention that since he was mentioned earlier. And it would take no amount of money for me to give Kevin Smith a fair chance. He’s the bees’ knees.
Beagledave, in case you’ve never noticed, women are extremely competitive. When a girl decides to date a man with too many female friends, she has to battle the other women for his time. It becomes a tug-of-war to show who has more power over him. Guy friends tend to understand and not get their feelings hurt. Besides, most girls want to be their boyfriends’ only “girlfriend”…if that makes sense. It never fails that when my guy friends get girlfriends, the girlfriends want their new man to stop spending time with me. Now, I’m not a threatening physical specimen, and I don’t see any viable reason why they should be jealous, but they are. I think it’s a territorial thing.
It’s not a turn off for all of us. I appreciate a man who has a diversity of friends, male/female, other nationalities, gay/straight, etc. It tells me a lot about a man, like that he’s compassionate and unwilling to put with cerain societal games for the sake of how it looks. In short, it’s a good sign he isn’t petty.
It’s important as well for men to get along with at least some of his ex-lovers. If a man has nothing nice to say about any of his ex-loves, then I’m pretty sure where I’ll end up one day, and that’s just silly, as well as telling.
I adore a man with well cared for plants or pets; but what’s a turn on is for a nother thread, I’m afraid.
