When I copped that he wasn't calling to say goodnight; he was calling to make sure I was home. Only knew him a few weeks too.

Unreasonable jealousy is a big turn-off.

Angry driving is another.

To make sure you were home.... like maybe, home safely?

I always text to make sure people get home safely. Even after a first date. It's not a jealousy thing at all. It's intended as a courtesy.

I don't think thats that odd actually! I saw this post on Facebook a while ago, it was a screenshot from tumblr, it was 'if you still like your crush after he gets a haircut then you know you're in deep' and it had a few thousand likes so you're not alone:pac:

Phew if only facebook was around when I was a teenager, actually... no thanks

Calls about what time was I home, was I home alone, was I going out again, who did I see that day etc., not calls checking I'd gotten home ok after seeing him. It was also too early into things for concerned nightly calls. I only knew him weeks at that point.

Checking up on friends or a quick text isn't the same as a lengthy call with several pointed questions.

Long nails on women is a turn off for me especially the puke ugly fake ones with fake diamonds on them, cut your nails you animal.

Heh, you really wouldn't like me then! Just as well, as I wouldn't be your prefered gender either

I have a few female friends who aren't into tech at all either and I don't find that as strange as men who have zero interest. Sexist me? I must be
In fairness I did offer to show him how to download an app, offered to send him a youtube video on how to do it but no, he was having none of it, he was determined to remain as he was.

I had this weird thing when I was a teenager where i would be completely turned off if my crush got a haircut. Not even a different style or anything! After a week, it would be grand and I'd like them again!

Oh this is definitely a thing! Men always look terrible after haircuts, all of them! I don't think it's as bad with adult men as with teen boys, maybe they don't go as short. Definitely it's a good rule of thumb for men and boys though, if you have a hot date coming up, do not listen to your mammy, do NOT get a haircut for it.

Went out with a girl before who loved murder she wrote, I mean ridiculously huge fan.

Would get very odd if someone said anything bad about the show, found it a huge turn off.

I once had a couple of dates with a nice enough chap until I saw that he kept his keys on a key ring ON HIS BELT. I'm still not right from it.

I dont get what you mean here... he used one of these?

Maybe I'm missing something but whats wrong with using one of them, stops you from losing you keys especially if you have an active job

Are you 50 years or older? If not, then do as i say....quickly take that keyring and bin it, bin it now my friend. Godspeed!

asked my gf about it and she agrees with you...(!!) I'm taken aback I have to say, firstly who pays attention to how someone carries their keys? Thats something I would never notice unless they sellotaped them to their head or something.

Also, whats a more practical way to carry keys? They'd just fall out of your pocket, or if you have tight fitting jeans they would bunch up in a painful lump at the bottom of your pocket. I also have a multitool attached to my keys

I've yet to lose or misplace my keys. (something my gf has done on several occasions... as I've just reminded her)

I'm being stubborn on this one, come on lads someone defend me!

I agree 100% about the practicality. I just know i wore keys that way once and the slagging i got made it not worth doing. What can i say, im weak! Anyway, im sure for work purposes you get a pass :-)

I said it to her, but she could see nothing wrong with it. We went out for almost two years. She had spectacular tits, they were the pale ones, but with perfect nipples. They also jiggled ever so slightly when she walked. Hence, I could forego the ****ty gusset.

Do you also wear "slacks" or trousers to up under your armpit and socks while wearing sandals.

I'm sorry but the man who failed me in my driving tests had a big bunch of keys onto his pants and I can't get his head out of my mind

I dated a guy a few months ago - really nice guy. But the slowest driver in the world. He was going under the speed limit in the slow lane. But weirdly whenever a turn came up, he was somehow completely unprepared for it? People were passing us at every opportunity and he made no apologies. Said he was a "Sunday driver" and I'm thinking to myself, if you're this bad right now, how bad are you going to be in 40-50 years? It was so irritating and a surprisingly big turnoff.

A few years back I went for an eye check in town (Dublin for the non-Dubs). Because they were going to use drops they told me to bring someone with me to drive home so I brought my then GF.

Now, I admit that since I started driving I'm a bad passenger.. but particularly when it's in my own car. It was bad enough that she fecked with my seat and steering wheel setup (takes a week to get them right unless you have memory seats - which I now do!), but I found myself watching her more than supposedly relaxing - things like "I'd have indicated earlier... changed lanes 20 yards ago.. already be doing 50 here etc"

It got so bad that on the motorway approaching the express lane (tag in the car) she slowed down well before it for no reason, leading a car behind us to undertake and then pull in front of her and still have time to slow down well in advance of the cones.

At that point I asked her to pull off at the next exit and I drove us the rest of the way myself. She was making me more nervous by the hesitant unnecessarily slow style of driving that I just couldn't take anymore!

Myself I always make "decent progress" when safe/appropriate to do so, don't suffer muppetry and dawdlers well, and always plan moves ahead of time without the need to slow to a crawl or dive across multiple lanes at the last moment.
Drives me mad some of the stuff I see every day (I do about 1000km a week of mostly motorway driving).

Went out with a guy who ate with his mouth open and made massive chewy, churning noises. It got to the stage where my whole body would tense up and I would be ready to snap at every bite. That was just the tip of the iceberg though.

You know there's an actual name for a hatred of other people food noises. Can't think of it now but my daughter is the same. She'll actually leave the room if someone is making loud noises.

Misophonia. It's a hatred of certain sounds. It's food sounds for a lot of people but can include other sounds too. I have it as well and it's not all food sounds and not all people, so it's quite selective. I also really can't stand people who sing off key. And by "can't stand" I mean I have to physically remove myself from the situation as quickly as possible. My stepdad loves to sing but can't hold a proper tune to save his life, god love him. Drives me nuts. I've yet to date anyone like that, but it wouldn't last long if I ever do!

Many if not most are like that to be fair. I'm not really bothered TBH. Unless they're actually dangerous. I figure whoever has the steering wheel in front of them is in charge as it were, so I leave them up to it. That applies to me too, so back seat drivers get short shrift.

I don't have any silly things that turn me off really. I'm pretty easy going I suppose. Depends what the definition of silly is mind you. I wouldn't call excessive snoring a silly thing myself. Totally ruins a nights sleep for the listener. Well this one anyway. Meanness another not trivial issue.

I have found as a general thing "silly turn offs" are a conscious expression of a subconscious general turning off a person. The actual issues build up over time and can come out as a nonsensical and often sudden, even inexplicable turn off. I've personally noted this more for some reason with women mates of mine down the years. Relationships that seemed OK from the outside suddenly ending and some of the instant turn offs were head scratchers at times. One I remember was going off with her boyfriend for a romantic weekend and when they were waiting at the baggage carousel at the destination airport she watched him walk over to grab his suitcase and how he walked switched off her gra for him. Like a door slamming shut. Game over. She couldn't bear his touch after that.

I've also noted that it can almost be a truism that the quirks you find "cute" in the early days are the things that irritate over time and often reasons for a breakup.

I'd love to know the percentage of posters on here that are actually in long-term relationships. If you're turned off a member of the opposite sex because of channel surfing and bad driving then you need to get used to the single life.

Toenail polish.

Once when I was younger I was standing behind a woman in a shop waiting to be served. Happened to glance down, she had red nail polish (all chipped and old) and you could see the dirt from under her nails.

F*cking rank and a turn off ever since.

Pickpocket

Notwithstanding my previous post, here's a few of mine.

Bad spelling and grammar.
Loudness.
A fondness for crap TV.
Reading those women's magazines with pictures of celebrity cellulite on the cover (a clear sign of idiocy).
Drinking too much.
Women that say "sure I'm mad" when they are in fact very boring and predictable.
Those pastel-coloured cotton tracksuits that make arses look smelly.
Tramp stamps.

No, because usually people are only put off by a few small things that don't manifest themselves in everyone they meet. Channel surfing bothers me slightly, but not enough to turn me off someone by a long shot. Bad driving is a deal-breaker. I'm married to an excellent driver

Went on a few dates with this guy and one weekend I headed off to a festival with my friends - he text'd when I arrived to see how it was going - txt'd him back grand , great fun , tent up etc- he starting texting me on the hour every hour and I just stopped replying to him it was driving me nuts with the constant texts . The next day he drove to Mullingar where the festival was on from Clare to see if I was okay cos I wasn't answering his texts , I was in my early 30's at the time and he was 40 - never again - can't stand desperate fellas !!
