I thought I would turn this around now. My biggest turn off is simply rude people. If you act like you are to good to talk to me then I feel your not worth any effort on my part!!!!

Rudeness is definitely a big turn off. Pretentiousness and arrogance are others.
And if a date says "Comic books are stupid!" and giggles -- well then, FORGET IT! Posted by Caleb on :
Serious icky qualities are judgmental, rudeness, trash talkers. Smoking is a DEFINITE turn-off as is any kind of drug use. Guys who aren't interested in affection, such as kissing, holding hands, etc.
Guys who are more interested in "acting" straight then just being themselves. But also VERY effeminate guys. Especially when they constantly call other guys by female pronouns. Such as "look at her" or "ooh, isn't she tacky" when they are talking about a guy. Its cool to nelly out on occasion, we all do, but not constantly.
I had a bunch of turn-ons so it only makes sense that I have a few turn-offs.

BLUSH
Actually, I was just thinking it makes me look chubby. Still, if it gets a "turn-on" quote then I shall be a happy camper.

Hmmmm...
A bore is a total turnoff to me, even if he was as hot as Matt Damon or Rokk Steady. Of course, if a bore is THAT hot, I'm willing to tolerate it longer... but eventually, I'll be all "Do something STUPID, you!!!"
Actually, I think some guys who smoke are TOTALLY hot... but I hate pipes and cigars. I wasn't above a little drug-use in my younger days (sheepish grin!) but I do think we reach an age that is very silly for any kind of continued drug-use.
But my biggest turnoff is joyless whiners.
Which is why I am single I guess. There's LOTS of joyless, whiney 35 year-olds getting high EVERY day around here... and I find that boring!

Nothing turns me off.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
arrogance, obnoxiousness, intolerance -- all big turn-offs.
also: Chewing with your mouth open
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
No, seriously ... ~ Not keeping up in conversational tempo. I can't penetrate or interpret long silences. ~ Being rude, period, but especially if it's with wait-staff and others trying to do their jobs. ~ Dissing someone's extensive vocabulary. Especially mine. ~ Seeing someone showing off erudition for the helluvit and not calling them on it. Including with me. ~ Not being willing to accept at least a good-night pluck on the cheek. This ain't 1960.

THANK you, Grey! I absolutely cannot tolerate someone being hateful to a waiter/waitress.
I had to sling hash during college. It's VERY obvious when you're with someone who has never had to wait tables for a living...
Posted by Caleb on :
Drake -oh yeah -chewing with the mouth open or SMACKING drives me nuts and is SOOO unattractive.
I'm sure I would treat Lash VERY well if he were serving me!!! Posted by MLLASH on :
Thankfully those days are long past me, Caleb! But I'm certain you'd treat me well in any scenario.

Prim & proper people Snobbery Joylessness Rich summer residents who let you know how rich they are. Some of them are ok.

I have only limited experience in dealing with people in the entertainment industry in L.A., but based on that limited experience, the biggest turn-offs for me are narcissistic self-involvement, insincerity in praising others' work and shameless brown-nosing to those might be able to help your career. Yuck.

liars, cowards, arrogant and the unimaginative ....blech!!!
Give me a decent bloke who isn't afraid to speak his mind, and has a mind to speak!
A hairy chest and brown eyes helps too....
Posted by Umber & the Boyz on :
Icky old dudes in their, like, 30s are a TOTAL turnoff!
Unless they play a teen on TV like Luke Perry.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Beehive hairdos
Posted by Umber & the Boyz on :
That's a terrible thing to say to a trendy teen!!!
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Someone should have had the courtesy to tell you the 'trend' died over 40 years ago. Short and spiky, that's where its at now.
Posted by icefire on :
Sonnie I have brown eyes and a hairy chest!!!!

People who go out of their way to take what you say the wrong way.
The overly-easily offended.
People who are never wrong in their own minds and can't laugh a good Bwaa-ha-ha at themselves.
Oh, and the Dutch, of course.

rickshaw1,
you are talking about me, aren't you? and you mean that I am always wrong when you said "the wrong way", right?
Sorry, I couldn't resist the above response.
as for my turn-offs: arrogant people is number one.
And speaking of wait staff. I have to say, I've never waited, but I have worked as a bank teller. And since then, I have all the patience in the world when I see a service worker when it is busy but he/she is working. Likewise, I do a slow boil if I am kept waiting for even a few seconds if the service person is just goofing off. If you are just talking about last night's date and I come to your open register, you need to stop talking and wait on me. If you are talking business, you need to at least say "I'll be right with you"

Snob, arrogant, ignorant, overconfident...
I finally felt good when I beat that egomanical guy at the Heroclix tournament - the biggest upset of them all...everybody was very happy because he has been hassling everyone saying that he was going to be "the undefeated champion ever". He even refused to shake my hand...so alas poor sportsmanship. I lost many games more than winning..let's say my record is 10-100, at best. Everybody has been rooting for me to win...that felt good. Let's hope that I will be able to keep it going.

Way to go superboymddjr! I just hate those jerks at tournaments. We get them at the two locations here that old the HeroClix games and they just ruin it for everyone else. Their the same kind of people who think playing a team of Fire Lords is imaginative. My record is probably about the same as yours and I've all but given up going to the tourneys here because of the pricks. Just not worth the hassle.
Posted by superboymddjr on :
well even though I dont do well in Constructed DC and Marvel tourneys...but I do well in Sealed DC...because I have pulled out so many good ones...that's how I got my LE Garth Ranzz. so next month, I plan to do that again with LE Rokk Krinn...I hope so! Posted by rickshaw1 on :
Hey, Icefire. Yep, i did get hitched, and so far i love it. Thanks for the welcome as well.
