    I can never trust people who wear shades, especially in pubs and when they don't need to have them on. I need to have proper eye contact with someone or else I have no idea what I am dealing with.

    If the convo goes past initial small talk I will always ask to see their eyes if I like them, I need to see them.

    People who smoke, people with large tattoo,s on their arm,s ,neck,
    legs.
    Unless you are a wrestler, boxer, mma fighter, a large tattoo just looks bad.
    a woman who just wants to talk about their ex, the problems they had
    or trivial issues they had in previous relationships .
    Go to your mother or your best friend, no one else cares about this.
    People who go to a pub or a restaurant and are taking photos of the food,
    or selfie,s ,
    People who are constantly checking facebook, social media on their phone
    where ever they are .

    If they can do something to make me dislike them the first time I meet them that's a red flag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭MiliMe


    Arrogance and / or an unwarranted air of superiority.
    Possibly down to my own insecurities but still...

    no eye contact when they speak to you...is a sure sign of an arrogant arseh@le

    It can also be a sign of anxiety and insecurity.

    If they feel like they should add their vapid input on every single topic of conversation even when they have no meaningful contribution to make.

    People getting too political. I don't want to talk about contentious issues when I barely know you.

    Or at all.

    It helps weed out the drama lamas though.

    A bang of BO
    Getting all up in my personal space
    Continuing to drone on when it's obvious I have zero interest
    Me, me, me types
    False smile
    The type to brush others off as insignificant
    People who derive their self esteem from their possessions - brand of clothing, model of car etc.

    Bullying.

    Being a coward.

    I take people as they come, i don't care about colour, sexuality, religion, politics, gender, nationality, career, as long as they don't preach any of their bull to me i can hold a conversation and chat away, if they do i lose interest fairly quickly

    when you meet someone for the first time. what things about them make you dislike them

    Puking in the kitchen sink and not unblocking it. Storing poo in the freezer. Mashing spiders into a very fine paste. Picking their toes. Pulling dead skin off their feet and flicking it into the unlit fireplace. Scratching their piles. Biting off bit of toenails. Using kitchen knives to cut hardened skin off their feet.

    1.People who expect their views to be treated seriously when they haven't the work ethic to spend the two or three minutes of their life necessary to know the basics of the language they're speaking. Lazy people, in other words.
    2. People who don't know the difference between Your (possessive case - e.g. your house) and You're (You are!!!!!)
    3. People who think "It's" is a possessive case. It's = it is. Always! It's raining, it's pouring, it's snowing.... Your possessive case is a simple "its" - its windows; its properties; its grammatical exigencies. No apostrophe!
    4. They're = They are (always). Their (possessive case) - e.g. their coats. There - e.g. over there.
    5. I/you/they/we saw but I/you/they/we have (we've) seen. I/you/they/we seen ==> wrong!!!
    6. I/you/they/we did but I/you/they/we have done. I/you/they/we done==> wrong!!!
    7. People who get all defensive when crap spelling and syntax is seen for the sign of laziness that it is.

    5 and 6 in particular are the biggest red flags in spoken English about a person's education and lack of work ethic. It doesn't look good at all, and most people notice even if they're too polite to say it to you.

    Men who must have to powder their legs just to get their jeans on, and love showing off their ankles. Same with suits.

    Lazy people, in other words.

    As a general rule sentences without a verb are incomplete sentences (sentence fragments).
