I also find both smoking, and/or too much makeup a big turnoff.. I'm sure most girls would find both a bit of a turnoff on guys too

ironically, i don't find it a turnoff if i'm with a girl who smokes h*sh.. can't figure that one out..

cock_adodel_do · 30-03-2005 07:16PM

well hash i dont smoke.
but im sure it smells simalar to the breath of a smoker all the same.

aye. but i'd usually be smoking with her. so it wouldn't bother me

cant stand kissing a smoker usually though

Smoking is a gigantic turn-off.

tSubh Dearg · 30-03-2005 07:22PM

personally I find excessive sniffing a real turn off...just blow your fukin nose!!! :mad:

Also I find the use of excess hair products a turn off too, who wants to touch sticky icky hair! ugh

Scarinae · 30-03-2005 07:24PM

Bad personal hygiene, ugghhh!!
It's important to me that guys smell nice

azezil · 30-03-2005 07:25PM

Headbutting old women however is a definite plus!

If a person had any kind of hayfever, or sinus problems, blowing their nose just doesn't help at all. I used to have pretty bad hayfever when I was younger, and it was extremely uncomfortable, not to mention utterly embarrassing, and there was nothing I could do untill I just grew out of it. So have some sympathy, and don't be so damned ignorant, as it's usually a medical condition.

BEAT · 30-03-2005 07:55PM

a guy who deosnt wear deodorant is a turn off, big time...even when they dont think they need it...trust us, you do!
kissing a smoker, yuk
kissing a drunk, yuk

like my guy to smell nice, but dont over do it...some guys take showers in cologne and when you hug them you walk away smelling like them! ughhh
a little dab will do ya

Also, stay away from Lynx. I am reliably informed by several lady friends that it is a highly efficient woman-repellant.

Kevin_rc_ie · 30-03-2005 08:25PM

but lynx is cool as are lynxs.

tman · 30-03-2005 08:36PM

someone should seriously make an aftershave/deodorant called "Cougar"
i'd buy it

Nasty_Girl · 30-03-2005 08:40PM

People who try to blow bubbles with CHEWING gum it wrecks my head, it's not cool. Arg.

3. Bad oral hygiene
4. Complete and obvious lack of previous ornadonthal care
5. GRANNY TIGHTS!
6. Getting drunk very quickly
7. Talking about previous boyfriends
8. Talking about previous boyfriends and crying
9. Total lack of nail care
10. And at the end of the night? Mismatching undies.

But you know what? Us Irish lads aren't as fussy as our English/European counter parts once sufficiently gargled and/or desperate. We usually go by the ALIADALAINF rule (Anything Legal In A Dress As Long As It's Not Family).

Or "Atari Jaguar". Every Boards user would buy this. It'd sell like mad

Sarky · 30-03-2005 08:54PM

Pity there's such a jump between "buying" and "Using regularly"...

When your date burns tries to burn your beard (yeah fair enough it was quite long at the time). That's a bit of a turn off. And so is the smell tbh

So do you match your underpants with your socks then!

tSubh Dearg · 30-03-2005 09:07PM

Karl Hungus - I'm talking about guys with colds in the winter, who SAY "I have bit of a cold" and proceed to sniff and snuffle all night long without once blowing their nose....the noise of that sniffing, would drive you up the wall.

I've never had any problem with the sniffing noise from hay fever suffers as it's a completely different sound (well it is to me) that's not half as offensive sounding as that sniffing gurgly noise that some guys make as they hock back a giant wad of snot and swallow it.

AlienGav · 30-03-2005 09:10PM

Kebabs!!

They're a sure fire way to be put off by a girl!

A drunk girl should never eat a kebab in public lol
Sapose it's the same for us boys too...

I'll shuurup now!

'The smell of success'

Sleepy · 30-03-2005 09:31PM

Smoking doesn't bother me given that I'm a smoker myself.

My own list:

1. Too much make-up is a definite turn-off.
2. Fake tan. Ladies, there is no such thing as an acceptable/discreet amount.
3. Being overly-self consious.
4. Falsity.
5. Being late.
6. Using your mobile during a first/second date.
7. Bad teeth.
8. Non-matching/"laundry day" underwear.
9. Having nothing to say for herself.
10. Using the words "loike", "roysh" or "mare" without a trace of irony.
11. Trying to determine my financial worth.
12. Stupidity/Dizzyness
13. Complaining about uncomfortable shoes. If you want to wear insane heels that hurt your feet, that's your decision, don't expect sympathy for the fact.
14. Displaying a lack of manners, to me or anyone else we come across, particularly waiting staff.

No wonder I'm single!

Yup.

OLDYELLAR · 30-03-2005 09:42PM

bad personal hygiene is the worst!!!

Amz · 30-03-2005 09:49PM

These are some of the aesthetic things that would have put me off when I was dating.

Bad personal hygiene.
Yocky teeth.
In the past I would have said smokers, but if they look after their oral hygiene they're not so bad.
Too much hair gunk.
When eating out and he can't seem to manage the art of getting ALL the food in his mouth and most of it ends up on his face.
Dirty clothes

Dizzyblabla · 30-03-2005 10:00PM

1. Not shaven (if you have a beard, fine, make sure it's neat though)
2. TEETH! - a big thing, there is nothing worse than seeing your lunch in your teeth.
3. Talking about something that is obviously not interesting to the person you are out with i.e. football or how drunk you got the last night you were out.
4. Personal Hygiene. Maybe it's moe difficult for a guy to not smell like he hasn't showered in a week by the end of the night, but that's what anti-perspirants were invented for, Lynx is NOT an anti-perspirant, it's just a deodorant.. go for Sure or something like that..
4. Leering at other girls when you're out with a girl.
5. Talking more to a girls chest than you do to her.
6. Talking about ex-girlfriends and what bitches they were..
7. Ya, the sniffing thing drives me nuts too, but it's the snorting it back (see tSubh Dearg's description above) that makes me want to vomit..
8. Asking if you can kiss her... chances are, she wouldn't have gone on the date if she didn't want to kiss you, just find the right moment and lean forward, watch Hitch, do the 80-20 rule! just Do Not Ask, it totally spoils the moment.
9. Lateness - a pet hate of mine.

I'm sure there's a million more, but definately those ones anyway..

Sleepy · 30-03-2005 10:01PM

Who wears dirty clothes out on a date? :eek:
