The Top Five Most Unattractive Qualities in a Man

dh2007

to get the ball rolling


1. No sense of humour
2. Stupidity
3. Selfishness
4. Bad kisser
5. Dirty Nails, yellow teeth and red gums (they're not really qualities so I thought I'd get away with three!)


Apologies if this has already been done!

Jeapy

In no particular order

Over confident and fake accent eg (in a fake Dublin posh accent) So Dad just like gave me a few grand to go to the game with the lads!
Bad personal hygiene eg BO
Eating with their mouth open
Scabbiness while eatind out, cinema etc
Guys who think they're real smart and fill you with loads of facts that arent true etc

Lol, i thought that was aimed at me Dragan and couldnt figure out where the stupid thing came from!

Dragan

It helps if you give examples or at least relativities?

For example, your Stupid might be someone elses clever and such.

Lux23

1. Bad Skin
2. Bad Hygiene
3. Closeminded
4. Tee Totaller
5. Too laddish/too metro (like a bit if in between)

I mean really thick!! I like men who are interested in the world and its goings on. Clever enough to be able to have an intelligent conversation with I suppose!

1. Guys with a loutish sense of humour.

2. Guys who think just because you don't speak like a retarded knacker that you're "real posh" and then mimick your voice.

3. Guys (and I said it on the AH thread already) who think that just because you have pale skin and are wearing the colour black (even if it's not a gothic style outfit) that you are a goth/into heavy metal/a weirdo.

4. Guys who come up to you in a pub and say something along the lines of "Smile! It might never happen" or comment that you look very serious. In fact this annoys me no matter who says it. No one has a smile plastered on their face 24/7.

5. Cockiness.

A good reply to this is to say 'It HAS already happened'. But be careful using it because on one occasion when I said this to someone, he was really sweet about it and said 'I hope everything is going to be ok'! So there was me back-pedalling saying 'Ah no it'll be grand, don't worry'. 'An inch tall' is the expression that comes to mind.

Uh, hate that!

Hang on, they would say this as if it's a bad thing?

I don't get it.

Tbh, I always think goths look hot but I wouldn't consider myself to be one.

Usually the type of guys who say this want their women to wear fake tan. Happened to me again over the weekend. Some guy said I looked very white. I said "Yes, I'm Irish. If I wore darker makeup I'd look orange". Showed him my arms to prove the makeup matched the colour of my skin. He said "Well why don't you just try wearing orange makeup. It'd look better I'd say".

I mean honest to God, it just drives me up the wall! Why would I look good if my face was orange?

Biggest turn-offs in a guy for me are

1. Being tight with money
2. Selfishness
3. Moody/Bad tempered
4. Lack of cop on
5. Full of ****

Next time tell him if he changes his shirt and gets a decent hair cut he'd look a lot better.

It worries me that any man would think a lass wearing orange make up would look better than a lass without.

Laying guilt trips.
Clinginess.
Ignorance.
Sulkiness.
Lazinezz.

How Strange

Pretty much in this order...
Thick/Stupid (thinks an intellectual conversation revolves around sport)
No sense of humour
Stinginess/meanness
D4 or psuedo D4 type (collars up, ralph lauren jumper, dubes etc)
Bad dress sense (not a deal breaker - that can be worked on)

Quality

Vain men
mean men
Ladish men (meaning sexist)
bad dressers
under achievers.

SarahSassy

cuckoo

-less intelligent than me (because it's all relative...), i'd probably bore a genius and while i'm fond of some of the less-than-bright people in my life i could never date them

-rude/arrogant to taxi drivers/bar staff/wait staff/ppl in shops. This really annoys me!

-obsessed with their career, to the extent that work/life balance doesn't happen because they have no life

-not relaxed in bed, it's fun to try different things and if it's a disaster to laugh about it.

-unkind. This can sometimes be a horrible world, and being kind to everyone (not just those who you want something from) makes it better.

whatsgoinon

arrogance
bad hygiene
eating with mouth open
jealousy
immaturity

These people rarely leave the office so they end up having affairs with their secretaries since they cant meet any other women in the office!! :pac::pac::pac::pac:



My boss is like this, in the office at 8 leaves at half 9 that night, dunno how he's married!! Must be very happy!:eek::eek::eek:


9 to half 5 for me, no more unless absolutely necessary (and well compensated!!:cool:)

RuailleBuaille

(for m & f)

1. Arrogance/ vanity - haaaaaaaaaaate it
2. Knowitallism
3. Not being able to pay their own way (I don't mind digging you out once or twice but after that - why are you out if you can't afford it?)
4. Bad hygiene
5. Stupid/ takes no interest in the outside world. It's a big bloody planet out there!

jellie

in no particular order:

- rudeness
- stupidness
- someone who thinks their opinion is more important than someone elses
- stingy/scabby/mean
- sexist (thinks women belong in the kitchen, etc.)

Vanity is mentioned in nearly every post here.
I guess it's not vain to spend hundreds in Toni and Guy and plaster yourself in ridicolously expensive designer makeup and perfume, as well as even more expensive designer labels.

Just my 2 cent.

Even if that has truth to it, women want a man to be with, not another woman who hogs the mirror. Unless they're gay and such.

NO it isnt.. Did you only read 2 posts???

LUNA...

In no order.......

Vanity - I do like a man to take some pride in his appearance, but if he takes longer to get ready then I do...........big turn off.

Small mindedness, which goes hand in hand with ignorance

Meaness - although I wouldn't expect a man to pay my way, it's nice if they offer.

Know it all - if you think you know it all, you're missing out on a lot

A waist size smaller than mine -

LivingDeadGirl

1. Bullshitting
2. Bad Hygiene
3. Laddism(obsessed with getting hammered etc)
4. Arrogance
5. Laziness

By far one of the coolest answers i've seen in these types of threads.

Pretty much sums it up for me too....especially since "being tight with money" is number one!!

EamonnKeane

How about those who are overly critical and negative?:rolleyes:

Nightwish

1. Lads lads
2. Bad hygiene
3. Arrogance
4. Skangers
5. Guys who are a bit dim

Lil' Smiler

hmm... could probably list more than 5 so mine are definitely in no order and are not my top 5

1. Guys who don't look after themselves (health,includes all in appearance; skin, teeth, hair, BO - nothing worse than a waft of sweat from not using deodorant, being lazy, not looking after their body etc)
   
   
2. Rude guys - bad manners, rarely say please or thank you, don't return calls/texts/emails, don't listen to you when you talk, chew with mouth open/eat loudly
   
   
3. Sneaky,sly guys - i hate people who sneak around & keep things from you anyway but I just can't tolerate it in a guy, i've been f*cked around too many times & i can't stand it, find it hard to trust people otherwise. Like when you're in a relationship & a guy doesn't kind of discuss a plan they have with you that could potentially cause alot of prob in your relationship - like f€cking off to thailand for 6 weeks with very little notice
   
   
4. Attention Seeking - I don't like the type of guy who has to be the centre of attention on a night out or in a group, has to be the one to get in the slaggings about someone else or that compete against everyone elses jokes (applies for girls too actually). i'm not one for liking loud or immature guys, my ex was that person and since then i just can't stand it especially when they're just an idiot. i'm not saying i like quiet guys but just not over bearing ones, i'm not good in situations with loud people.
   
   
   
5. Guys who make you feel small & stupid & like you're always the bad one - that's how it was with my ex, i was always wrong, not him, when he cheated on me it was my fault usually, always argued my opinions in conversations in front of people & when we were alone making me feel very stupid (it's MY opinion!!!!) and by not noticing me and not paying attention i used to feel very small, insecure & bad about myself that my confidence was low
   
   

[/LIST]



Ooops, a bit of an extensive list...uh oh!! stupid boys!!:p
hmm.. maybe they would be my top 5, ek!

bad hygiene

cockiness/superior sex

basic manners(I think their are alot of men that just dont have any!)

I could go on and on ...:D

Eviledna

1. Disloyalty (I dont expect it in a friend, and despise it in a man)
2. Vanity/Physical Arrogance (If he knows he's hot, he isn't)
3. Sheer Unadulterated Stupidity (A man's brain is very attractive when used)
4. A Lack of Humility, the belief that they are more important than others
(If Mammy put him beside himself, he can stay there.)
5. Bad teeth/smelly/too skinny/too muscle-y/skinhead hair/body fascism
(Isn't it always the Number 2's that are like that?:rolleyes: )

Hello...someone looking for me?

smurfbaby

1. Know it alls, and guys who takes themselves way too seriously
2. Insecurity
3. No sense of humour
4. Poor personal hygiene-ew!
5. Stinginess, although I think this is unattractive in either sex

Actually all of mine refer to either sex, in that I wouldn't like those qualities in a friend or a boyfriend!

I don't get the replies about bad dressers, lads lads, slightly dim etc. Fair enough these might put you off a potential life partner, but surely they are not the least attractive things about men in general? Like surely it's possible to be a bad dresser but have a wicked sense of humour, or to be a bit vain but have a heart of gold? Although I suppose it's a personal thing.

Spitting!!!

I hate it and theres nothing worse than seeing a nice lookin lad hacking up the contents of his throat and then disposing of it about 2 yards from where you are standin! Gross!!

Babette08

• Borderline Arrogance – like confidence and a little cockiness

• Rudeness / Superiority complex – to waiting staff etc. as somebody mentioned

• Lack of tolerance / close mindedness

• Insecurity / possessiveness

• Stinginess – knows the cost of everything

• Bad dresser – can be fixed though

• Inconsiderateness / insensitivity

• Obnoxious know it alls

MarkR

I can only go on observation, but I believe it would go something like this.

1. Not being able to read my mind.
2. Being able to recall most arguments seem to come in a cyclical pattern. Reminds me of a film I saw with zombies. What was that name again? Now I remember. It was 28 days later. :rolleyes:
3. Does not know that "fine" can mean dozens of things from "If you don't know I'm not telling you", to the classic "fine".
4. Being logical most of the time. Ooh they hate that.
5. Watching TV / playing xbox after checking to see that no assistance was required with washing up / hoovering / etc.

Note: Pinch of salt may be required. If Mrs MarkR subscribes today I mean this of course about all other women.

You can have it everyway, you want a guy that can make an effort and has some sense of humor.

But when he tries a simple non sleazy Ice-Breaker like "Simile, it may never happen" , he the worst in the world.

Did I say the worst in the world? No.

I just said that FOR ME, that is a turn-off. I hate when anyone says it,not just men.

Also, I'm in a relationship so I'm not looking for anyone so it really doesn't apply anyway but I have to say, I don't think that comment exactly illustrates a sense of humour, an ice-breaker it may be, but more irritating than funny.

mollybird

i would have to say

being disrespectful,
arrogent
no sense of humour
selfish
childish

Clare Bear

Stinginess with money
Guys that put on an act and aren't themselves
Farting (ahhhhh it is NEVER funny!!!!)
Too easy going (that couldn't give a shi.te attitude-making you feel like they're not bothered if they're with you or not)
Talking about their ex girlfriends - I don't want to know how great they were and never will, shut up!

Glowing

My worst nightmare in a man:

-Unreliable/untrustworthy
-Watches soccer and revolves his social life around it, arrggh!
-Incompassionate
-Selfish
-Lazy

Turn offs in men:

Men who are pussy whipped by their current (or previous) other half and so assume that all women are out to make their lives a misery : p
