    I'm a male (long haired too, nice to see a few pro-long hairs out there!)

    In a female:

    Turn ons:
    Modesty,
    Good kisser
    Intelligence (air heads drive me insane, need to be able to hold a proper conversation)
    Humour (possibly with a dark edge)
    Attractive (an interesting pair of eyes and a nice nose seem to be the first things I notice)
    Good fun/willingness to do new things and a bit of a wild streak
    Maybe a small bit eccentric
    Tall I suppose but it's not vital (makes things easier though when you're 6+ ft)
    Shyness (but not extreme shyness, the cute shyness)
    Romance
    Passion

    Turn offs:
    Girls that have the muffin look,
    Girls that ALWAYS end up a mess and getting sick on a night out (that's not to say don't go out for a nice session every now and again),
    Prostitute-esque clothes i.e. clothes that could be underwear, have some dignity...please,
    Stupidly LOUD!
    Chain smoker,
    Hippies (I may have long hair but I'm not goddamn hippy),
    No ambition/drive,
    Being booooring,
    No sexual enthusiasm

    I don't think that is fishing for compliments.
    Poor self esteem can mean that some women have a skewed perspective of themselves and their physical appearance.
    Often these people will deflect compliments by putting themselves down.

    Poor self-esteem is a turn off, just under high self-esteem.

    Ignorant.
    Drug user.
    No Sense of Humour.
    Stupidity.

    Not interested in sports.
    No motivation, be it personally or professionally.

    Possessiveness.

    Turn ons:
    Intelligence.
    Good sense of humour.
    Honesty.
    Laidback.
    Confidence, that confidence that doesn't need to be shown, so more self assured, comfortable in their own skin.

    But then again you can't always quantify what attracts you to a particular person.
    :D

    I am surprised that so many men like "big eyes" and I'm curious as to what makes a woman unhygenic.

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


    I'm a girl.

    Turn ons
    1)Thoughtfullness
    2)A sexy smile, especially if it's a little cheeky. Oh my.
    3)Musical (can sing or play an instrument like Mrs. Roundy said)

    5)Clear skin (I dont think I could ever score a guy with acne)

    Turn offs
    1)Very long hair ESPECIALLY if it's grasy, matted or in dreads, but then if it's perfectly straight and smooth and ilky it looks girly, so no.

    4)Loudness/being attention seekers. I find that so irritating.

    I find it amusing that so many guys / gals are specifying their own sex but not which sex they're attracted to! *grin*

    My top 5 turn offs and ons for a potential male partner:

    Offs:
    Poor hygiene
    Unemployed / waister
    A regular drug user, drug use at all is a bit of a turn off
    To quiet / shy
    Fat

    Ons:
    Adventurous and outgoing
    Chatty
    Emotionally aware, both of themselves and those around them (caring)
    Finds sarcasm amusing ;)
    Physically fit (but not to fit, I don't want to be made to look like a fat bastid ;P)

    Couple of people have highlighted how annoying it is that so many girls dont have any real interests and hobbies outside of celebrity gossip and soap operas. Cant stand that its really annoying.
