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.

I have just three words for you
RUN RUN RUN

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.

I dont get what you mean here... he used one of these?

Maybe I'm missing something but whats wrong with using one of them, stops you from losing you keys especially if you have an active job

asked my gf about it and she agrees with you...(!!) I'm taken aback I have to say, firstly who pays attention to how someone carries their keys? Thats something I would never notice unless they sellotaped them to their head or something.

Also, whats a more practical way to carry keys? They'd just fall out of your pocket, or if you have tight fitting jeans they would bunch up in a painful lump at the bottom of your pocket. I also have a multitool attached to my keys

I've yet to lose or misplace my keys. (something my gf has done on several occasions... as I've just reminded her)

I'm being stubborn on this one, come on lads someone defend me!

I agree 100% about the practicality. I just know i wore keys that way once and the slagging i got made it not worth doing. What can i say, im weak! Anyway, im sure for work purposes you get a pass :-)

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.

You Sir, are a champion.

Do you also wear "slacks" or trousers to up under your armpit and socks while wearing sandals.

I'm sorry but the man who failed me in my driving tests had a big bunch of keys onto his pants and I can't get his head out of my mind

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.

A few years back I went for an eye check in town (Dublin for the non-Dubs). Because they were going to use drops they told me to bring someone with me to drive home so I brought my then GF.

Now, I admit that since I started driving I'm a bad passenger.. but particularly when it's in my own car. It was bad enough that she fecked with my seat and steering wheel setup (takes a week to get them right unless you have memory seats - which I now do!), but I found myself watching her more than supposedly relaxing - things like "I'd have indicated earlier... changed lanes 20 yards ago.. already be doing 50 here etc"

It got so bad that on the motorway approaching the express lane (tag in the car) she slowed down well before it for no reason, leading a car behind us to undertake and then pull in front of her and still have time to slow down well in advance of the cones.

At that point I asked her to pull off at the next exit and I drove us the rest of the way myself. She was making me more nervous by the hesitant unnecessarily slow style of driving that I just couldn't take anymore!

Myself I always make "decent progress" when safe/appropriate to do so, don't suffer muppetry and dawdlers well, and always plan moves ahead of time without the need to slow to a crawl or dive across multiple lanes at the last moment.
Drives me mad some of the stuff I see every day (I do about 1000km a week of mostly motorway driving).

Surreptitious · 28-01-2017 02:13AM

Went out with a guy who ate with his mouth open and made massive chewy, churning noises. It got to the stage where my whole body would tense up and I would be ready to snap at every bite. That was just the tip of the iceberg though.

Lads who are football fanatics is a major turn off for me. The ones who are either watching matches, talking about football or tweeting/facebooking football comments.

Summer wind · 28-01-2017 02:32AM

Long fingernails on a man. Oh the thought of a man with long fingernails touching me makes me shudder. Totally disgusting. Garlic breath is another one. Can't be in the same room as someone smelling of garlic not to mention kissing them. Yuck.

You know there's an actual name for a hatred of other people food noises. Can't think of it now but my daughter is the same. She'll actually leave the room if someone is making loud noises.

Misophonia. It's a hatred of certain sounds. It's food sounds for a lot of people but can include other sounds too. I have it as well and it's not all food sounds and not all people, so it's quite selective. I also really can't stand people who sing off key. And by "can't stand" I mean I have to physically remove myself from the situation as quickly as possible. My stepdad loves to sing but can't hold a proper tune to save his life, god love him. Drives me nuts. I've yet to date anyone like that, but it wouldn't last long if I ever do!

Many if not most are like that to be fair. I'm not really bothered TBH. Unless they're actually dangerous. I figure whoever has the steering wheel in front of them is in charge as it were, so I leave them up to it. That applies to me too, so back seat drivers get short shrift.

I don't have any silly things that turn me off really. I'm pretty easy going I suppose. Depends what the definition of silly is mind you. I wouldn't call excessive snoring a silly thing myself. Totally ruins a nights sleep for the listener. Well this one anyway. Meanness another not trivial issue.

I have found as a general thing "silly turn offs" are a conscious expression of a subconscious general turning off a person. The actual issues build up over time and can come out as a nonsensical and often sudden, even inexplicable turn off. I've personally noted this more for some reason with women mates of mine down the years. Relationships that seemed OK from the outside suddenly ending and some of the instant turn offs were head scratchers at times.

One I remember was going off with her boyfriend for a romantic weekend and when they were waiting at the baggage carousel at the destination airport she watched him walk over to grab his suitcase and how he walked switched off her gra for him. Like a door slamming shut. Game over. She couldn't bear his touch after that.

I've also noted that it can almost be a truism that the quirks you find "cute" in the early days are the things that irritate over time and often reasons for a breakup.

Pickpocket · 28-01-2017 10:47AM

I'd love to know the percentage of posters on here that are actually in long-term relationships. If you're turned off a member of the opposite sex because of channel surfing and bad driving then you need to get used to the single life.

happyoutscan · 28-01-2017 10:48AM

Toenail polish.

Once when I was younger I was standing behind a woman in a shop waiting to be served. Happened to glance down, she had red nail polish (all chipped and old) and you could see the dirt from under her nails.

F*cking rank and a turn off ever since.

Pickpocket · 28-01-2017 10:55AM

Notwithstanding my previous post, here's a few of mine.

Bad spelling and grammar.
Loudness.
A fondness for crap TV.
Reading those women's magazines with pictures of celebrity cellulite on the cover (a clear sign of idiocy).
Drinking too much.
Women that say "sure I'm mad" when they are in fact very boring and predictable.
Those pastel-coloured cotton tracksuits that make arses look smelly.
Tramp stamps.
