Anything silly that turns you off?

People who fiddle with their food, or leave anything on their plate, including garnish.

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.

Oh God yeah! Especially on Farah slacks!

Put coffee in the sugar bowl when making a cup of coffee.

Seriously fcuk right off.

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.

Heh, you really wouldn't like me then! Just as well, as I wouldn't be your prefered gender either

I was once seeing someone who didn't do French kissing, i.e. he kissed without tongue! He would just open his mouth and left it there, gaping... Reminded me of a fish for some reason... Needless to say, bedroom action wasn't up to much either.

Poor guy, I think he is still single, more than 15 years later. I do NOT wonder why! Although a really nice guy; it's such an extraordinary thing when someone completely lacks any carnal instinct.

That made me laugh out loud!

I had this weird thing when I was a teenager where i would be completely turned off if my crush got a haircut. Not even a different style or anything!

After a week, it would be grand and I'd like them again!

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 dated a guy a few months ago - really nice guy. But the slowest driver in the world. He was going under the speed limit in the slow lane. But weirdly whenever a turn came up, he was somehow completely unprepared for it? People were passing us at every opportunity and he made no apologies. Said he was a "Sunday driver" and I'm thinking to myself, if you're this bad right now, how bad are you going to be in 40-50 years? It was so irritating and a surprisingly big turnoff.

Socks on during sex, I can't describe why but it disgusts me beyond belief. It's so distracting I'd rather stop and let him take his socks off before getting down to business. He can leave his shirt on, he doesn't even have to step outta his pants, but no socks

Gunslinger92 · 27-01-2017 09:08PM

Excessive use of puns. If anyone was watching first dates last night and saw the ginger lad who got stood up - he would drive me insane with all the inane puns!

Not even a cock sock?

Excessive timidity/conformity is a turn-off for me. I prefer a touch of assertiveness. I don't mean in the bedroom as such, but people with ability not standing up for themselves in the workplace, that type of thing.

I also don't care for excessive religosity, though if someone goes to mass once a year so as not to piss off the parents or whatever, that is somewhat understandable.

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?

Tl;dr
Boyfriend gets anal, dumping ensues

I don't think thats that odd actually! I saw this post on Facebook a while ago, it was a screenshot from tumblr, it was 'if you still like your crush after he gets a haircut then you know you're in deep' and it had a few thousand likes so you're not alone:pac:

Maybe I'd consider once a day very often, twice a day is excessive, but once a year is your limit? ðŸ˜¨

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

What a stupid ignorant comment.

So every person in the world who has a tattoo got them because they were insecure and looking for approval?

andekwarhola · 27-01-2017 10:21PM

Leaving a cup around with a teabag in it. My wife does it. It's trivial but for some reason annoys me out of all proportion to what it is.

pragmatic1 · 27-01-2017 10:21PM

Was going out with a fair haired girl for a while and noticed that she had some light hairs near where a man's Adams apple would be. That was it, instant turn off. Bit shallow but hair in certain places is a huge turn off.

Another girl was going out with her for about 9 months but one day watching her eating boiled eggs, which I hate, just turned me off so much that I broke up with her not long after. The spark just went out.

I'd say due to the nature of act that's a given.

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.

To make sure you were home.... like maybe, home safely?

I always text to make sure people get home safely. Even after a first date. It's not a jealousy thing at all. It's intended as a courtesy.

Calls about what time was I home, was I home alone, was I going out again, who did I see that day etc., not calls checking I'd gotten home ok after seeing him. It was also too early into things for concerned nightly calls. I only knew him weeks at that point.

Checking up on friends or a quick text isn't the same as a lengthy call with several pointed questions.

Long nails on women is a turn off for me especially the puke ugly fake ones with fake diamonds on them, cut your nails you animal.

I have a few female friends who aren't into tech at all either and I don't find that as strange as men who have zero interest. Sexist me? I must be

In fairness I did offer to show him how to download an app, offered to send him a youtube video on how to do it but no, he was having none of it, he was determined to remain as he was.

Oh this is definitely a thing! Men always look terrible after haircuts, all of them! I don't think it's as bad with adult men as with teen boys, maybe they don't go as short. Definitely it's a good rule of thumb for men and boys though, if you have a hot date coming up, do not listen to your mammy, do NOT get a haircut for it.

jamesbere · 27-01-2017 11:44PM

Went out with a girl before who loved murder she wrote, I mean ridiculously huge fan.

Would get very odd if someone said anything bad about the show, found it a huge turn off.

Anything silly that turns you off?
