Turn-Offs!

Black Swan

Is there something you do, or something about you physically, that's a turn-off for lads?

OK, I'll go first. My skin is pretty soft and smooth all over, except for one part of me, the soles of my feet. The other day I slid the bottoms of my feet on the bare skin of a lad and he yelped, claiming they felt like sandpaper! Well, I've been in taekwondo (and more recently iaijutsu) since about 10 years old, and sliding my bare feet on the mats for all those years has made the soles of my feet a bit rough.

What about you? If lads want to join in and offer something about themselves or their lady friends, by all means comment.

taram

I scratch myself like I have fleas apparently.

Pyr0

Ha ! That would be a turn off alright !

The tough skin on the feet isn't the best I have to say, especially if its crusty !

Hairy arm pits or legs is a turn off also. Thats all i can really think of at the moment !

LolaLuv

I have the ugliest feet ever! I'm average height but my shoe size is 9.5 (US) and most of it is toes. One time someone looked down at my feet and said "Wow, you have tree-climbing toes". So unless a guy is into monkeys my feet would be a turn-off.

Monkeys are cool, but not in a sexual way, cos that's just weird.

Hairy armpits are the worst for me by a long shot
I know two girls have webbed toes, thats horrible

Both of those though are generally rare.

Stench Blossoms

Feet in general don't turn me off but long toenails do. Ugh *shudders*

Kotick

Apparently I don't speak my mind enough.


Also about the rough feet, use a pumice stone while in the shower (save it for last after washing everything else). Works wonders!

Hi Kotick! Yes, that would eventually remove the roughness from the soles of my feet, but then I would have to quit taekwondo and iaijutsu, or bloody the mat with my newly tender feet. Everything in life has a price to pay?

Kotick

I dunno about that. A pumice stone is just meant to remove the loose stuff, I'm not suggesting that you try and remove your years upon years worth of callus structure you probably have going on.

I wear thongs everyday pretty much and even walk barefoot on occasion and my feet aren't very dainty but a pumice stone gets off that first layer of scratchyness making them more manageable than they were. So I doubt your feet would have to go through the process of getting used to the mat again. But if it's not that big of a deal then all is well.

MJOR

i reckon a lot of girls have the sandpaper feet from heels and stuff too.... your soles need to be a little rough apparently to stop stuff penetrating them (words of a chiropodist not me)

Men who like the look of me, have told me that they are put off by me being opinionated.
I am if you get to know me, but I'm generally apathetic and have a live and let live attitude to other peoples. So they are describing just simply having opinions as a problem.

Also men are put off chatting me up because I tend to be sober.

I'm not delicately built, I imagine that puts people off.

Red Hand

Turn off for a lad? A whole yard.:eek:

Crumble Froo

my appearance in general. i dont put a lot of effort into it, and tend to look somewhat messy, or dishevelled. my clothes are mostly mde for males a couple of sizes bigger than me, and i have a number of tattoos and piercings which can be construed as a bit odd, and are apparently a large turnoff (my only 'feminine' tattoo is well hidden fom the masses).

Anti

Bad breath and BO would be the big two turns offs. Along with hairy toes... yuck.

Seraphina

i can get a little overexcited about food, eat too fast, and end up burping for hours afterwards. very unladylike

Awayindahils

Puking.

Or more specifically guys when they're chatting you up, telling you that they have recently puked. I mean...why????

Lil' Smiler

I like picking spots and blackheads...

Rayven199

BO is definately a turn off! Puking as well, I have seeing or hearing ANYTHING puke - even my dog, ill start to wretch myself and eventually puke unless I vacate the area where the puke is!!

Other than that theres not a whole lot that will put me off!:D

Quality

My wedding ring!

Madame Razz

Annoying trait about me: I talk too much; and am too amiable apparently

Guy i was seeing before hugged me when i got cross about something...said he was getting worried that i was always so calm and amiable and unphased by stuff and was glad to see I was normal!! who knew fieryness was attractive!!! I always do my best to keep my temper under wraps!!!

Them: well, this is an obvious one for me!!!!


HAIRY BACK AND SHOULDERS!!!!!!:D


Although, I overlooked them in the last guy i was with!! Aren't you all so proud of me!! But he was special and twas quite a different scenario...and I knew he was that hairy so it didnt come as quite a shock!!! He was smaller than me heightwise also!! Love/Lust is blind i guess!!!

JP Liz

I'm curvy so to some thats a turn off

lostinnappies

no, im perfect ..... rofl:D:P

pow wow

Draw breath :rolleyes:

Only joking...one lad said I laughed too much.

robtri

Turn off for me is really skinny girls

gaeilgegrinds

Turn off would be guys who don't listen, have BO and let themselves go in general.

challengemaster

Count yourself lucky your callus stays! Mine rips off every week or 2.. F*cking painful, and leaves me missing about 2 layers of skin in 1 place :mad:

Crumble Froo

oh, and was just thinking, i do hate my feet, actually, i have a weird walk and a slight (but masked) limp, which means that i put tonnes of pressure on weird parts of my feet, which then form these large calluses and stuff... rather unattractive indeed. but people rarely get to see my feet, in general, and am planning more ink to distract from the unprettiness in the general area too

nomorebadtown

A turn off is skiffling, hocking (y'know that sound people make when they inhale all their flem and snot *ew*) and spitting.

And obesity, but is that non-PC to admit now? :?

DesignLady

Guys who complain about how much they hate their job! I went to a week night speeddating thing (never again) and I got 16 guys telling me how much they hated their job but the money was great.

One guy also told me he was from Nenagh, but how would I know where that was being from Dublin because all Dublin girls are ignorant idiots (this was before I got a word out - at a Dublin venue ) Big turn off.

Pen1987

Women who do pretty much anything unladylike... farting, spitting, feeling my arse when I hardly know them - generally coming on too strong. Also grooming things like unshaven legs, too much make-up, overly fake tanned and dodgey 'hairdressery' looking haircuts.

I also HATE when women wear trousers or jeans that are either to big in the waist or too tight in the legs, and the jeans slip down, so they have to drag them back up again...

Wibbs

I have to admit my biggy is farting. I've never done it in front of a woman and if a woman deliberately does it in front of me it's game over. Literally. I've no problem at all with the general stuff. I've held womens hair when they were the worse for wear and it had to come up, sudden unannounced period, the sniffles and snotters of a bad cold etc. Not a problem, but farting just ..... no.

What if she does it accidentally?!
It is a normal bodily function after all... but sure, we all know girls don't fart, right!

Pen1987

yeah we know they do it, just dont do it around me or in a 'proud' way.

Blokes farting in front of a girl is just as bad imo

liah

I'm too shy, which is a huge turnoff to a lot of guys, apparently. I mean, I'll talk to anyone if they talk first, but they better be good at conversation for the first little bit...

How long do you have to know someone to be able to fart in front of them then?

I doubt they find that a turn off. Maybe they are just thinking you are not into them?

You never fart in front of the opposite sex. Exit the room if you feel that a build-up of noxious gases may result in breaching the anal sphincter. Release in a calm, clinical manner in a different room.

Alternatively, an empty paper bag (such as the sort that penny sweets comes in) may be used as gas retainer, but be discreet when applying the bag to the posterior. Once you have ejected the flatulance, tie the bag opening closed with a cable tie that you carry about for such an occassion.

You may also tie it closed with a string and give it to a nearby child who may find a novelty in possessing such as an interesting, buoyant balloon.

GirlInterrupted

My height is a problem for some men, being 5'11 is an issue for the small of mind type, as opposed the merely small of stature.

One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!

Will: She woke herself up?

Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the **** I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.

Exact same issue - I have martial artist feet.

I curse a fair bit..... And I have been known to be 'one of the lads' a lot.

Men that are looking for a pretty, dainty lady usually are NOT impressed with me!:pac::pac:

I take a size 8 foot..

Blush_01

Generally being more than a little abrasive has yet to work 100% in my favour... oh well, I shall just have to persevere. :rolleyes:

Kotick

I might as well share one of my turn offs. Guys who tell you why you did or said a certain thing and even when you try to explain what/why you really did or said they won't listen and believe in whatever they imagined happened. I know what goes on in my own head, you do not, so stop calling me a liar and listen already! :mad:

That drives me up the wall. Girlfriend MK1 did so and so, so obviously all womankind shares the same behaviour motivation and Mk1.
Uurrghhh!

Men: Poor hygiene, smoking, drunks, drugs, and physically unfit.

Me? Player.

That's the worst! It's so disrespectful. I'd say it's more of a deal-breaker than a turn-off, actually.

Yes, that really is most irritating. A lot of men are guilty of this, not necessarily partners. I had my friend last week telling me what I was thinking/how I was feeling and He was so ridiculously wrong. In the end I had to point out to him that, being the one on control of my thoughts and feelings, i was perhaps better equipped in terms of knowledge of said thoughts/feelings. He shut up then.

I have quite a strong personality. A lot of men dont like this. Some men prefer insipidness....its less of a threat.

citeal

My sleeping routines are the absolute worst apparently. In waking life I will not tolerate ANYONE farting / belching around me... the moment I nod off however the snoring / teeth grinding / talking & occasional bout of sleepwalking begins.
