    Agree with most of whats been listed so far. . heres a few more

    Girls who rely too much on Daddys Visa Card
    Brown Thomas girls (even though they cant afford to shop there)
    Girls that expect a guy to run around and wait on them hand and foot
    The use of Fake tan in winter time - how stupid does that look (when everybody else is white)?

    Is it so much to ask for a nice young lady with an easy smile, a nice laugh, who likes Family Guy and Tool, maybe goes to the gym and lifts a little, see's Fight Club as more than just a film about Brad's 6-pack and men punching each other, understands that Jack Daniels is in fact the finest drink in the world and that Sunday mornings are for lying in bed reading Pratchett (after a shag of course should she be in the mood ;) ) ?
    Set me up with a home gym and I'm yours :p


    Turn offs would be:
    smoking
    bad personal hygiene
    bad work ethic
    being too conservative
    drug taking/alcoholism
    Edit: I forgot snoring

    I think that's about it. Some things which would turn me off one guy would be a turn on (or acceptable) from another. Has anyone else found that?

    Bad breath
    BO, or just any weird bodily smells
    guys that straighten their hair
    emo boys
    long hair
    guys that wear jewellery, piercings are fine, but not any tacky bracelets or diamond earrings
    guys that wax
    really skinny guys
    um..im sure there's more, i just can't think :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,432 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    i dont like if a fella has smaller feet then me,is shorter then me or weighs less then me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Yeah I agree with Aisling, even though I'm a pretty average height (5"6/7) I'd prefer to be smaller so I'd have a larger pick of the guys. I also don't like a guy to be skinnier than me, I like someone I can cuddle! I'm not mad about facial hair, I thikn it only really suits *some guys*, very long hair is also a no no, anything past chin length is too long, and even chin length is pushing it a bit.

    Guys that smells are horrible, just horrible, expecially when they try to cover it up with deodrant/aftershave, though the smell of Lynx Afrika on a (clean) boy drives me wild!

    I don't like guys to have high-pitched or whiny voices either...so I guess that rules out a lot of nerds :p

    As much as people say they don't like Arrogance I really like a bit of it! I really hate insecure guys and really like guys with plenty of confidence.

    Clinginess and neediness is really irritating and offputting also. As is possessiveness and jealousy. If a guy ever tries to make me jealous by saying something like "X will be there, she told me once she really fancied me" I wont rise to it, I'll just say something like "get in there".

    I don't like long fingernails. Or guys that are too nice and can't tell you to stfu or cop on at times.

    Wow writing this post made me realise there's so much I don't like about some guys!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    Arrogance
    Bad Breath
    Rudness
    Lack of Drive
    Smoker
    BO
    Very skinny boys ( i personally prefer meat on men :rolleyes: )
    No attention to dress / smell

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    I'd be surprised to see a girl say they dont hate skinny guys, more likely to find a bloke who likes fat chicks.

    Reading through this reminds me that I have to add that a heavy dublin accent on a girl us probably one of my biggest turn offs.

    "heeeyar young flea"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,204 ✭✭✭bug


    tall gangly blokes, peter crouchesque. Not nice.
    they look like they were stretched on a medievil rack.

    Blokes who need an operation to separate them from their club colours.
    Its ok to go to the pub in it to watch a match, but not your mates wedding.

    weird feet.

    egotistical blokes.

    walter mitty types, (there's millions of them going around), scary stuff.

    egotists.

    thats about it really.

    oh and smelly blokes... no one likes the great unwashed, male or female.

    couldn't agree more.

    especially the type who tries to make you feel guilty for having a life beyond her. hasn't happened to me but happened to a friend of mine.

    he plays football for 2 hours four times a week. one of the days is a saturday morning when she's in work. he drives so can be at her house within 20 minutes of football finishing the other three days.

    somehow she got the idea that she could only see him one day a week. she asked him to give up "just one day of football" for her. of course if he gave up one day (the training) he wouldn't be allowed to play. he tried to explain this to her

    they broke up over it and she told everyone he chose one day of football over her

    Girls who fancy blokes only because they have a BMW. Talk about having no shame.

    Girls who think Cork is the capital for reasons unknown.

    ROFL :):):)

    Ah c'mon. Just because a girl dumps you, it doesn't mean she's automatically a bitch. Maybe it was you that was the problem. If Pighead were your girlfriend he'd come on here now and put, bitter twisted old boyfriends, down as a major turn off.

    No funnily enough I dumped her. A certain string of events involving her wielding a hatchet and texting me with "if you don't come out with me, I'll stab you" come to mind as my reasons for dumping her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 331 ✭✭EWheelChair


    [/b]Fat girls
    Girls who act overly stupid becuase they think its cute?
    Black nail varnish, ughhhhhhh. Even dark (purple) nail varnish, or a hooker red.
    Any sort of goth girl, any at all.
    Girls who fish for compliments by complaining about stuff they now isn't true.
    Really high heels

    Girls who don't hear me ringing the bells, the sweet bells of Notre-dame cathedral and don't come running to fall in love with my hunch-backed, but beautiful within self.
    Girls who cry when Bambi's mammy died. My disney movie much sadder.
    Humen with hunches deserve more respect than deer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,113 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Turn Offs
    girls who like "Sex and the City" and try and mimic Carrie or who ever but when it comes to sex are prudes and give out.
    Poped collers on girls.
    When girls say "This is so funny" and its clearly not
    Girl says anything about her period.
    Hated those shorts girls where wearing when they went out this summer.
    girls who are up them selfs
    Dread locks
    any girl that is a crusty
    Hate that girls get diet coke but dont do anything else to combat their weight.

    couple of more things but all said too many times

    Mace.

    Haha bravo.

    Just counter it with the the biggest turn on. Rhyhypnol :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 652 ✭✭✭Hezz700


    It seems to me that there is alot of hate floating about. I suppose we're lucky that we have varied standards and values or we might be facing exstinction. Then again in retrospect the Skangers would never let that happen.:D I just thank the Lord every weekend for Mystical qualities of alcohol which shows most girls in a very pleasing light. The only flaw being, I'm much better at scoring when i'm stone cold sober and this narrows the playing field.:(

    Turn offs, Extreme or singular personailities.
    People should have more than one level on which they view their world.

    Hezz.

    Vacuous Women
    Girls who don't know what to wear - a conservative skirt and blouse can often look sexier than a badly worn skimpy top and miniskirt depending on the girl
    Women who over analyze everything you say
    Smoking, especially heavy smokers

    Well I like a man to be a man and not a metrosexual.

    This whole prepubescent chic favoured by a lot of otherwise masculine, sexy men is not a turn-on for me. Of course it looks great when the hedges are trimmed and people take pride in personal grooming etc but as for completely hairless men.....eeeugggh.

    Nothing sexier than a hairy chest and big strong hairy forearms ;)

    Is than an endorsement of unibrow over the use of wax to separate them?? Would you like a hairy back with that? Hairy chest I can understand - it's masculine after all!

    Don't like
    - bad odours of any description
    - uncared for teeth (see bad odours)
    - lack of ambition
    - absence of sense of humour/taking everything too seriously

    and..I'd rather have a guy with body hair than one who waxed

    I'd have to heartily disagree.
    I spent a couple of weeks working on a job in Jerusalem a few years ago & I have quite honestly never seen so many beautiful women in my life. For a fortnight I had a horn on me that you have beat a jackass out of a sandpit.

    Stink of urine and stand on street corners screaming about how the jews stole their ovaries.


    Big Turn off

    So are girls who break into my house and steal my stuff then shot on the floor


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,270 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    /me takes deep breath:
    • a lack of intelligence or an attempt to hide it behind a dizzy persona.
    • being completely self-centred
    • still relying on mammy and daddy for money after leaving college
    • living at home yet claiming loudly that she doesn't not take a penny from her parents :rolleyes:
    • fake tan or make up that's noticeable (if it's on properly, I shouldn't know it's there)
    • being from Cork
    • having an inner-city Dublin or D4 accent
    • wearing clothes that are the wrong size/style for her figure (especially anything that gives a spare tyre around the middle
    • being seriously overweight
    • feminazis
    • whining about sore feet when wearing completely impractical shoes
    • having crap taste in music
    • kissing like a washing machine
    • self-delusion
    • being religious
    • being sexually conservative
    • being 'common'
    • being rude to anyone - a real lady is as polite to the hired help as to her guests
    • whining about her weight while doing nothing or fad-dieting instead of just hitting the gym
    • relying on her friends to make her mind up for her about anything/everything
    • trying to make a drama out of everything
    • constantly looking for attention
    • being incapable of showing affection
    • having no sense of adventure
    • wearing the 'latest' fashions because they're 'in' rather than something she actually just likes.
    • thinking 'Sex & the City' was a lifestyle guide instead of a comedy
    • not being prepared to pay her own way in life (I'll probably insist on paying for dinner most of the time anyway but it's nice to know she's prepared to pay her share or even every now and then)
    • falsity (of any kind)
    • being a slob / messy
    • getting paraletically drunk
    • having no interests of her own
    • being into horoscopes/fortune tellers/astrology/some other whimsical bull****
    • republicanism
    • lacking social conscience
    • being so career driven that you'll sell yourself out
    • not being able to admit she's wrong (or prove it to me when I'm wrong)
    • getting in a huff and not saying what's wrong
    • neediness
    • not being able to enjoy herself when out with my friends
    • vacuousness
    • being label-concious - style is nothing to do with brand names
    • following the crowd
    • voting Fianna Fail
    • poor hygiene.
    • not shaving/waxing her legs
    • Girls who think it's acceptable to hit you because they have a problem with the word cvnt.
    • ...

    The list is endless. Which is probably why I'm single and will be for a long time to come!

    And one more I just have to add, it's less a major turn-off than something that's always just a major dissappointment: not wearing good/matching underwear.
