Libertarian - Right
1. Spitting - I dated a guy that would spit every time he got out of the car and sometimes he would spit out the window while he was driving. Ew, ew, ew.

2. Excessive Swearing - Okay, I don't mind a swear word once in awhile when you're angry or someone really deserves to be called something horrible, but not every single conversation, every single day. I also don't like movies with excessive swearing.

3. Dishonesty - Seriously? Just tell me the truth.

4. The Silent Treatment - I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate this. If I ask you a question like, "What's wrong?" and you say "nothing" but continue to act like something is bothering you, then it's going to make ME anxious. Just answer the damn question. Sheesh. (That was an example of deserved swearing.) :2razz:

What are your turnoffs?
 
Heavy make-up, feigned vacuity and excessive insecurity. Just be yourself godammit.

What are your turnoffs?

1.) I laugh at these wana be tough guys all the time, its hilarious!

2.) this doesnt bother me at all just as long as the setting is ok. Of course dont drop the F bomb at the thanksgiving table with my bubba sitting there but if its me you and another couple hanging out drinking I dont care.

i just have one word TACT, use it

3.) of course, i dated a girl thqt lied for NO REASON, meaning it wasnt cause she thought she did something wrong she just lied to lie, of rid of her quick

4.) i never knew guys do that but yes its lame. I for one will never take out my bad day or anger out on the ones I love thats just dumb, im actually HAPPY to finally see my girl she makes me in a BETTER mood lol. and as for me ill just tell her if i dont like something.


No manners
chewing with your mouth open
prudes but this is subjective to my definition :shrug:
overly judgmental or stereotyping
selfish
drug abuse
snoops

those are GOOD ones

most of my girls have worn little makeup, eyeliner, mascara occasional lipstick is usually it.
insecurity is cute till . . . . you are right its excessive.

I am CRAZY about my girl and she is insecure but its cute. Shes not insecure where it makes her a prude or she thinks im cheating for no reason or stuff like that, shes just insecure to where she HONESTLY cant believe I think she is so hot and gorgeous, she even blushes a lot when I talk about it. Totally ****ing cute lol

Incessant nagging like "Get your finger out of there", "Get a job", and "We need to talk".
 
1. People who, since they believe they're intelligent, constantly browbeat everyone around them about it.
- Personally I'm more impressed by those with the wisdom to know when to keep their trap shut.

2. Anyone who habitually puts down or insults the people around them.

3. Those who constantly presume they can teach you how to do something no matter how simple.

4. People who, upon learning you aren't well-versed in one subject, presume you know nothing about 1,000 other subjects.

5. My biggest complaint -- Racists.
- I once was interested in a lovely African-American girl at work who one day said, "I hate eating lunch at [an Asian restaurant]. You never know what they put in the food or if it's even safe. You know how THEY are!" My interest evaporated in an instant.
 
For me they're pretty simple....

Tomboys
Unfeminine appearance, personality & attitude
Feminists
Non-Traditionalists

Essentially, Modern Women in total.
 
on that note, having just now returned from thailand

- when it turns out they used to have penises.

quite the turnoff indeed.
 
1. Women who do not speak their mind plainly. I don't want a relationship to be a mystery novel.
2. Women who are not confident in themselves. This wastes my time
3. Women who cannot solve a problem on their own or think logically about a situation and determine a plan of action.
4. Women who need me in order to feel good about themselves in any way shape or form. (Feeling good with me in other ways is a plus, such as a pleasant evening at the movies or something)
5. Women who nag
6. Women who create drama out of nothing
7. Women without a sense of humor or who cannot relax
8. Women who are not clean
9. Overly fat or skinny women as it indicates that they do not take care of themselves
10. A woman without her own opinion and who will not defend their opinion if I disagree.


Probably some other stuff.

Basically, I don't want someone who needs me to support them or cannot exist outside of a relationship (unless their grandma died or something), that sort of **** pisses me off.

My preferred relationships contain a minimum of the messy emotional stuff and are about two strong people who love being around each other, but are strong enough to weather the hard times. Lots of sex is good too. In other words, if my wife has a problem, I like it when she says "I have a problem with ..." and I go "oh, well I think ... or maybe we can ..." and she says "well, your solution leaves ... unsolved or creates a new problem" etc and we eventually solve it. Not that **** like I "I have a problem with ..., but I am not going to tell you but instead play games to get you to pay attention to me or simply keep it bottled up until I resent you and you have no idea what the hell happened"

My wife and I operate well this way. We solve problems together and for the benefit of the whole family, not just one of us.

Here recently there is a perfume that is so strong it smells like rubbing alcohol, perhaps some here knows what i am talking about. I have run across this twice now and damn, I had to walk away.

I've known a fair number of guys who do this, despite the fact that, as far as I can tell, they are not chewing tobacco or snuff or anything. I totally don't get it.

I have occasionally struggled with my temper with someone who turned to spit every 5 seconds while we were talking... I felt like asking them if their spitting was some kind of veiled insult against me or in regard to what I was saying.

It isn't attractive, it doesn't make you look tough, it doesn't make SENSE unless you have hyperactive spit glands or something... so knock it off!! :roll:

I mean dayum, can anybody explain where the heck that habit comes from? If the guy is a former heavy chewer, I could halfway understand maybe.

I've got sinus issues, mostly centered around post-nasal drip. I have to cup my hands over my ears, hock it out of my throat, and spit it out.

It's not something I like to do, but it is, on occasion, something I need to do.

Besides, I would think a woman would be happier that I spit it out than keep in there for her to get when we kiss.

That's different, Sam. When someone hocks and spits, I know what they're doing and why. I do that too..... though I try not to do it in front of the gals, they don't like it.

What I'm talking about is guys that just turn their head and simply spit a tiny amount of saliva on the ground every few minutes for no apparent reason. That I don't get.

If you have medical issues, then that's different. I'm talking about guys who spit all the time simply because they think it's "cool". *shudders*

Arrogance. There is a very fine line between arrogance and confidence, but once someone crosses it I have to walk away.

Insecurity. I can't stand it when someone is constantly asking if I am upset with them or says sorry over ridiculous things. It is irritating especially after the twentieth time during a conversation.

Bad hygiene. If you don't bathe on a regular basis and I can't even stand to be within ten feet of you without need of a gas mask then there is a problem. If I can smell you, then you can sure as hell smell your own funk.

House Keeping. If your bathroom has more mold than a six month old loaf of bread, then don't bother.
*I once stayed at someone's house and woke up the next morning to see a yellow sweat imprint of where they slept every night. That is outright disgusting.

Flat chested women.
 
1. An untrimmed vag

2. Meat curtains that hang down to her knees. (If I want a roast beef sandwich I'll head down to the local deli.)

3. The smell of bacalao that has been left out in the sun for a week.
 
So I'm married - but before that . . . I eventually became rather tolerant of many things - I can deal with dickery, assholedness, slovenliness, nagging, griping and prickishness.

I guess drug addictions and depression are my two big issues. . . and overall immaturity.

What's wrong with Arrogance? It ain't my fault I'm the baddest man on earth.
What's wrong with being Sexist? Women need to know their place!

As long as you don't forget yours: under my feet so my toes don't get wet or cold.
