    Hustlebaby,

    Two things come to mind...

    A woman who smokes is a complete turn off-I don't care how beautiful she is.

    A woman who looks dirty. Madonna is a perfect example of this. She could shower ten times in a row and she would still look like a skank.

    Man I am actually looking for female bears, unfortunately I don't live in Canada.


    Bernie I disagree with you on smoking. It depends for me on the way the girls is smoking. It can be really sexy.

    What turns me completely off is a girl who says coarse words ( I hope you will understad those words, I'm not sure of myself)

    I second that :)

    For me, turnoffs are:

    - Ignorance
    - Arrogance
    - Violence
    - Selfishness
    - Stupidity
    - Hypocrisy
    - Duplicity
    - Irrationality (includes unpredictable mood swings, absurd religious beliefs, etc.)
    - Insensitivity
    - Immaturity
    - Promiscuity (I guess I'm old-fashioned)
    - Shallowness
    - Pretentiousness
    - Humourlessness
    - Drug use/alcoholism
    - Poor personal hygiene
    - Long hair (it just screams hippie/white trash) -- hey, I had to get one physical characteristic in there!

    Ouch Delight. I think you just eliminated 98% of the straight male population :lol:
    OK, I generally prefer the glass half full approach when looking at women but in terms of negative:
    No fatties
    No loud mouths
    No women competing with me

    Oh and I saw one more thing off Graham's list that I absolutely hate, pretentiousness.

    That line from the Village People's " (Everybody Is A Star) In Hollywood " ....something about "Have yourself paged/scream on the phone as though in a rage" is toooo true. Everybody wants everybody else to think THEY are IMPORTANT!!!! Gag me with a Nokia.

    Two other things I forgot to mention:

    - Dishonesty. Completely unacceptable to me in any context.
    - Dramatics -- although I guess I could include that under "immaturity" and "irrationality".

    I know you're right Marky. My younger sister lives up there and she sometimes gets caught up in the image thing. As her loving dutiful brother I have to slap her down sometimes :(

    HustleBaby: Please no offence intended, but for me a huge turn off would be a woman with a list as long as yours. :o
    Hetero men are feeling very threatened right now. Perhaps we will all turn into the human equivalent of drones and only the really fantastic Alpha males will get the chance to mate in the near future.
    I think the inability to share (in success or failure) is a turn off, with
    Insincerity
    dishonesty
    masculinity (I really miss womens' femininity these days, and heavy womens libbers sorta wind me up sometimes).

    I knew someone wouldn't agree with that list and you don't have to. For your information Quinny, because of these turn-offs, it helped me avoid a lot of negative relationships. I'm going to use a few examples to prove my point:

    :evil: 1.Men with baggage a.k.a Baby Mama Drama
    I don't want to deal with excess probaly misbehaved children and a ex-wife/girlfriend from hell!

    :evil: 2.Sex Addict - This type of man is TOO preoccupied with sex, only talks about sex, extensive collection of porno mags, lives in the stripper clubs or peep shows. And worst of all he thinks that a penis is the only thing that makes a woman COMPLETELY happy. Women know that all men want to get laid but damn don't be so freaking desperate and obvious!!!!!!!

    :evil: 3.The Married Bachelor - He has a wife and family but too busy trying to score and has the nerve to get pissed off when he finds out that he's not the only one in your life!

    :evil: 4.Loud & Obnoxious - Now who wants to date a NEANDERTHAL?!? :o :x . I can't stand a man that always want to be seen and heard. He talks too damn much and saying nothing intelligent. Afterawhile you have to tell him to shut the f**k up!!!!!

    Graham's list just helped me extend mine - Immaturity, Drug Use/Alcoholic, Hypocrisy, except for long hair

    PAUL my dear, there are straight men out there who don't fit in that list - thank god! I think my turn-offs were pretty fair, you and Quinny wouldn't date a woman who's name is written all over that list right?

    Re: What are your turnoffs??????

    A man who is/has:
    :evil: Stingy - I'm allergic to cheap men!

    :x lazy - Get off your a** and get a job!

    :evil: no spirituality - He dosen't have to go to church every sunday and recite the bible from cover to cover however he got to have some kind of connection, sense or beliefs with God. There's nothing wrong connecting with your inner soul. Unfortunately, some guys think its corny :( .

    :evil: stink/dosen't bathe - Need I say more???

    :evil: a chauvanist pig - Women should be barefoot and pregnant???The man is the boss????? Women must obey the man???A woman's place is in the kitchen??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
    My place is wherever my feet takes ME !

    :evil: controlling/abusive - Any man who disagrees with this turn-off is a dangerous one! Stay away from me!

    :evil: no education - Who wants to date a MORON????

    *DISCO DELIGHT*[/quote]

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    I must add:

    :x Men with no culture
    :evil: Men who are disrespectful towards their mothers
    :x Men with NO table manners
    :evil: LIARS

    I just love it when you call me "dear." :P
    I did date women with some of those female applicable attributes on your list. Finding the sex addict (nympho) was a rare and fortunate blessing when I found one :)

    HustleBaby: I just feel lucky that I was able to find someone special and settle down. Everyone has faults and in a good relationship, I think you more or less see past them. There appears to be less ability to give and take these days. Hence you and your list would be a turn off, if you wanted it all, and so many men and women do want it all. I blame it on too many of them being spoilt as kids and never having anyone in their life tell them no!

    Laura Ashley-ness, new age-ness and religiousness. People who seek spirituality around pottery owens, make profound statements at any given opportunity, speak with a gentle smile and dress in natural fabrics with floral motifs. All of that would be fine with me if only the majority of them would not always look down upon you while making a well stressed point of not condemning your tastes in literature, art, films or consuming habits.

    I guess it's only me and Smokey: "Beggars can't be choicy I know..."

    Seriously. If were talking physical, then it's being unclean. Major problem with that.

    If were talking about the mind, then for me it's showing a lack of good old common sense. I wouldn't care if you 'ruled' Harvard when you attended, lacking the basics is enough to get me moving far, far away.

    Well my number one BIGGEST turn off in a women would have to be:

    SMOKING!!!!!! :evil: :x :cry:

    I have a million and one reasons why:
    1 - The thought of being in a long term relationship with a smoker is torture because it's like I'll be watching my girlfriend slowing stuffing up her health, getting really horrid coughs and rotting her lungs and growing old so quickly and dying of lung cancer :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I CAN'T STAND THAT :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: !!!!
    2 - A girl being beautiful on the outside but having rotten lungs on the inside is like getting a nice juicy apple and cutting it open to find that it's brown and yucky in the middle and infested with maggots :evil:
    3 - Kissing a smoker would be like licking an ash tray :evil: , fortunately I've not experienced that
    4 - Smoking chicks like all smokers, smell like cigarettes and cigarettes smell like a 100 year old thunderbox dunnycan that hasn't been washed for 50 years and has a turd hanging out of it :evil:
    5 - Smoking chicks age terribly once they hit their 30s onwards :evil:
    6 - Smoking chicks are most likely to never quit :evil:

    Sadly almost EVERY girl around my age in my area is a bloody smoker :cry: :cry: :cry: . At TAFE college almost EVERY girl there especially the best looking are fuckin' smokers :cry: :cry: :x :x :cry: :cry: and it makes me wanna cry :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: . It depresses the living **** out of me to see SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many girls I fancy on the smokes :cry: :cry: .

    I swear I wish these fucking cancer sticks were never invented, and those evil fuckin arsehole cigarette company tycoons deserved to be horsewhipped 19th century style :evil: !!! Fair crack of the whip, murderers get in life sentences or death for committing murder, yet these cigarette companies are getting paid to kill off thousands of people a year, I think the tycoons who run these ciggy companies should get punished the same way as cold blooded murderers!!!

    Anyhow that's my number 1 turn off.

    Some of my other turn offs would be:

    1 - Girls who use blokes for their money or cars (I guess these sort of girls are referred to as bimbos)
    2 - Girls who really hate disco/funk and love death metal and hip-hop enema em included (no offence but a relationship with a girl like this simply would not work with me)
    3 - Bitchy girls (I'm referring to those really nasty girls who are always tearing strips off people including myself, cannot stand nasty girls)
    4 - Shrapnel girls (cannot stand girls that get a shitload of studs and earrings whacked in heaps of places on her body, eg tongue studs, lots of face studs etc...
    5 - Heavily tattooed girls (Ok I'm okay with a couple of small tattoos but big blotchy tattoos and large quantities of them, HELL NO!!! It makes a girl look like an Australian pub yobbo but without the shearer's singlet and stubby shorts)
    6 - Shaved heads (I don't mind short hair but cannot stand fully shaven heads as it makes a girl look more like a bloke as lots of blokes shave their heads. I can understand if they are suffering leukemia but if they are doing it for their fashion taste then no!)
    7 - Female yobbos (girls who tend to live the lifestyle of a typical Australian yobbo i.e. smoke lots of cigarettes, hangin out at the pokies all the time whacking all her money in the pokies while drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette, hanging out at pubs getting shitfaced and at the same time having a real slurred Aussie yobbo accent. And I bet many Aussie girls get turned off by lazy male yobbos too :lol: )
    8 - Freckles from head to toe (I know looks aren't everything and I feel like an arsehole saying this, I simply don't feel attracted to women who have excessive freckles from head to toe, I can't help feeling this way)

    Well those are the main turnoffs I can think of and as I said smoking is my number 1 turnoff!!!
    Australia mate! The land of many great funkateers!

    Hi Funky Dude

    I understand your great dislike for smoking chicks however there are plenty hundreds even thousands of women who smoke and still age gracefully. I'd quit the habit three years ago (smoked for 13 years) and it didn't affect my appearance yet it was a relief from my lungs.

    Paul
    I knew that the "nympho" would be right up your alley :lol: . Besides the average man would consider a very sexually forward woman as a TURN-ON. One day you're gonna come across a woman that will wear you down to the point that you're gonna be calling TIME-OUT :lol:

    Quinny
    This thread is not about me or anyone wanting to have it all. Yes some people are caught up in perfection but that is not the case with me. I think that what I have listed would be considered the average everyday TURN-OFF with any man or woman I just happened to list them all at once. If I wanted the perfect man he would be:

    5"10 - 6"4 inches tall
    Super gorgeous model/stripper types
    Muscular body/washboard abs (Vin Diesel, The Rock)
    Very well dressed - Armani, Zegna suits etc...
    Well ENDOWED
    No Children
    Very $$$$RICH$$$ - Drives Lexus, Bentley and Ferraris
    Sexually Satisfying
    Great dancer
    Flawless skin and hair
    Wants to get married, loyal, honest, kind, compassionate, clean, law abiding, generous, outgoing, sense of humor, great cook, charming, dedicated, cultural, affectionate etc....

    BUT GUESS WHAT.....THIS KIND OF MAN DOES NOT EXIST!! AND I WOULD BE A FOOL TO EXPECT ANY MAN OUT THERE TO BE LIKE MR. PERFECT OR TO FIND HALF OF THESE QUALITIES IN ONE MAN!

    I'm not superficial, yet I will not settle for f**ked up flaws like the ones in the turn-off category. Furthermore, I think that I can deal with a his hairy back if he visits the wax salon. But if he looks like Bigfoot he gets no play!

    Hi Hustlebaby. It's not that I don't like chicks that smoke, it's just that I don't want to be in a long term relationship with them because I would be stressing over their health :cry: . I'm happy to be friends with girls whether they smoked or not, just not wanting to be in a relationship with them. I know aging is one thing and as you pointed out not all smokers age badly, it's not so much that that bothers me the most, what bothers me the most is the fact that smoking chicks while they look good on the outside, their lungs are ROTTING on the inside and they are ruining themselves and it hurts me and makes me wanna cry :cry: :cry: :cry: . So if I got in a relationship with a smoker I would be feeling sad watching my girlfriend getting worse and worse, the smokers cough, the sickness and the possibility of lung cancer where she would be on a hospital bed coughing up blood and end up dying and I CAN'T STAND THAT!!! It makes me so sad :cry: :cry: :cry: !!! So I'd rather be with a girl who's non-smoker and will never take up smoking. If they use to smoke and given up for good then I'm okay with that, but if they smoked and are still smoking and will smoke till they die of lung cancer then no way.

    Basically the bottom line is I don't smoke and never will and I want to be with a girl who doesn't smoke and never will.

    I understand ya! I can date a guy that smokes as long as its not weed or crack :x :o ! An occasional/social drinker is okay, but a fish is a turn off.

    If a guy says he hates animals like cats and dogs, we will not get along. I'm an animal lover so that will turn me off!
