Anything silly that turns you off?

I was thinking today about a relationship I was once in for 6 months.

We had great fun together, physical attraction was huge and never rowed. He was a little bit mean when it came to money but I didn't let that bother me too much, no-one is perfect.

Fast forward 2 months and I went to stay in his for the 1st time (he lived in the UK). He had slippers at the door for both of us and I don't wear slippers so just took my shoes off. He wasn't happy with that and insisted I wear them.

That was it for me. Just struck me as so anal I just wasn't physically attracted to him anymore.

Seems silly now. Just wondering if anyone has ended a relationship for something like that or is it just me?

An ex of mine used to wear those sanitary pads, the ones for absorbing some light fluids from gee. Except, she'd pretty much abandoned wiping her arse for these, so I would regularly see her panties with these **** soaked pads in the gusset lying around.

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.

That's gross.

For me, spitting, like, hacking up turf spitting, total turn off. Bad wonky teeth too. Yuck.

Phone fiddlers.

Especially when its somebody who constantly suggests spending time together.

If you can't go more than a few minutes without, I probably don't even want to be your friend, nevermind a relationship.

Kept turning off the PlayStation instead of shutting it down

In fairness, that's not a silly thing.
That's disgusting!

I doubt it's true.

Yeah I just noticed who it's from. Can't do the ignore thing on my phone though.

pilly · 27-01-2017 07:45PM

Anyway, anyone else got any real stories?

This would drive me crazy.

Reminds me of an ex who used to go through the channels on TV by just pressing up and down on the remote and scrolling through them that way. There was no such thing as using the menu or the TV planner, was just fly through them all, stop momentarily on one you like, and then keep going.

That wasn't why we broke up mind.

Channel surfing! That's drives me mad too! Pick a ****ing programme!

Driving - I was casually seeing a guy years ago and he drove us somewhere one day, which effectively was his undoing in my eyes. He was completely lacking in confidence, couldn't get through a gap a truck had just driven through in front of him, spectacularly failed to negotiate a roundabout, mashed every gear change and just made me really uncomfortable. He wasn't a learner, he was just terrible!

It was an instant turn-off.

I'm so glad it isn't just me!

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.

Tattoos turn me off. Nothing screams "I'M INSECURE, APPROVE OF ME" like a tattoo.

Mister Vain · 27-01-2017 08:00PM

A chick with a stick. She used to keep poking me with it. So annoying.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 27-01-2017 08:04PM

Casual swearing.

Was briefly with a guy who constantly rang his mother to tell her where he was. Everywhere we went he would ring her and say what he was doing and when he would be home. This was grown man. It started off as fwb but once I realised he was doing that I had to call it quits.

My sister went out with a guy who had to be home for dinner every day come hail, rain or snow. Soon ended!

And he called his Mam "Mother". Very Norman Bates!

The guy in question called her "Mummy". I thought it was cute at first that he was ringing his mother to have a chat quickly realised it was checkup!

Conversely, someone who speaks of and/or treats their mother/father badly or disrespectfully, I don't want to know. Even if she's a bitch, you don't have to publicly say so to a near stranger, same with exes.

Oh, and a friend of mine had a bf who refused to eat vegetables, fish, potatoes in any form other than chips, and insisted he'd never go on holidays anywhere they had 'strange' food. I wouldn't be able to bear that.

Snoring... plain & simple. I know its not your fault... but if i hear it regularly you are getting the boot! Thats right, still single as a result

MadDog76 · 27-01-2017 08:26PM

Used to go out with a girl who would give me 10-15 second bl*wjobs ........ she would start (great!) then, literally seconds later, stop and say "I think you've had enough of that now."
I finally told her, after this happened a few times, "No, I haven't had enough! You'll know when I've had enough, there's a very definite ending in this scenario!! :mad:".

Got rid of her ..........

Could you not sleep in separate rooms? I've done this before. After the deed is done obviously!

Should be left on 24/7 just in case. Most women don't get this

Tried that with the last one, she wasnt impressed me feckin off to the other room after the deed. Nor was she fond of waking up alone.

People with no interest or ability in the technology sphere, and now I mean zero interest.

I suggested an intelligent person in his early 30s try Netflix not so long ago and he told me didn't know how to download an app. That was definitely a big no for me immediately. Enough basic passing curiousity about life in general to at least have tried that would be the minimum I could bare in a person.

Constant selfie and food picture takers do my head in.

Meanness with money is a hangable offence.

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.

27-01-2017 08:47PM

I had a shocking crush on a guy until I saw him put his phone in a little holster in his belt - I know it's common enough with over-50's but this guy was under 30. I never understood why he was single before.

Instant crush cure.

Anything silly that turns you off?
