You know those times when an extremely hot girl says or does something that makes her instantly much less attractive to you?

This probably applies to hot guys too if you are that way inclined but I imagine its a whole lot easier for a guy to put a girl off than the other way around.

It could be an accent, an opinion or preference, a figure of speech or a habit or mannerism. I'd like to hear what sort of instant turn offs you guys can come up with. Go!

I knew the first reply to this thread would involve defecation, but I thought it would also involve a kitchen component.

Not being punctual.

Women that smoke = instant turn off.

I second that.

Smokin' Hot women who don't smoke are really OK

RobOnTheCape · May 29, 2011, 11:31 AM

That was my first thought as well. Amazing how I can look at someone and say "wow - babe", and then she'll light up, and that feeling is gone.

Laminar · May 29, 2011, 12:06 PM

When she forms a wild and dangerous opinion of her own.

"I'm a liberal/feminist/environmentalist"

Anytime a woman talks about how she's alwaysgetting drunk, or how much she goes out to bars/clubs/VIP rooms.

Nothing is less attractive than a drunk chick.

Salty · May 29, 2011, 02:02 PM

What about a guy turning off another guy? Heterosexist

For me:
Not being punctual is the most common, I'll forgive you if you call to say you'll be late and I just have to play angry birds for twenty minutes. But if I'm already seated and ordering my beverage and you call to cancel, or worse yet don't call I don't have time for that.

Smoking is another huge turn off. Kissing smokers is the grossest thing on the planet.

Talking about guys they have crushes on, the hots for etc ... not necessarily a turn off but it takes any wind out of my sails and I pretty well wanna walk away.

Saying horribly stupid things. One of the my biggest complaints is guys who complain about feminism while believing in equality, who can't realize that they are feminists, they're just not women's studies students. Or guys who think I should be impressed by their car or something stupid like that. Actually on that note, guys with BlackBerries are a total turn off unless it's work provided. If you COULD have had an iPhone or at least an Android device, and you went BlackBerry I know that you're more of a follower who doesn't even keep up on trends.

Some random things that have made me just walk away from a guy as soon as was socially acceptable:

There was hockey equipment guy. Picked me up for a date and had the worst smelling hockey equipment in the back of his car. I rolled down my window and tried not to die. When he dropped me off I didn't even say goodbye, I just left.

"I'm picturing you singing to our children." Yah that line had me refusing a second date ASAP.

I went on a date with a super hot guy that when I talked about how I was pastoring a Church he said, "Oh well, you know all religions are pretty well the same." I guess that goes with the whole saying ignorant things in general. But seriously, if somebody's got a degree in ministry, try not to say that you think religion is a waste of time if you want in their pants. (Which he did, he got mad at me for not calling him back even though he'd said he'd call me, and I wasn't interested)

Confessing you lied to me. Don't lie to me to get you to like me, because I'm super honest and eventually you'll feel bad and confess that you're a lying douche ... and then things are just awkward.

Introduce me to someone as your friend.

Oh, talking about how you used to party when you were younger and it was so great. Nothing says dump me like telling story after story about your dependance on drugs or alcohol.

Second least attractive thing:

"Hey besson3c, it's me turtle777. Please come up to Chicago to hang out with me, I'll cook some hamburger helper and we can drink some MIke's Hard Lemonade and talk about girls!"

olePigeon · May 29, 2011, 02:03 PM

Women who can't bother to get dressed in the morning, then wear their pajamas and slippers to the grocery store, school, etc.

I found this thing pretty weird. I would find people that don't keep up on trends more attractive than not, because most trends are stupid.

Only thing worse than buying based on a trend is buying based on an OLD trend. Buying a BlackBerry shows that you walked into the store and either took what the idiot sales person offered you, or didn't do any research. You have to bump up to a data plan to get one, if you're gonna be increasing your bill every month don't you think it would make sense to look at everything you could get for that increase in payment?

People make stupid, non-researched purchase options all the time, including the food the eat. I don't think this has much to do with trends or being a hipster.

Or you weighed all the options and found that, for whatever reason, a Blackberry suits you best.

And of course, there's a few things which are worse than buying based on a trend: Being a war criminal, being a serial killer, being a Windows user, being Besson's kitchen supplier, etc., etc..

ghporter · May 29, 2011, 04:21 PM

I see a difference between "unattractive" and "malicious" or "hurtful," so I'm going to skip things like lying, stealing, etc.

Punctuality is a component of trust, but only part of it. Someone who isn't punctual, but is otherwise 100% reliable could be just as attractive as someone else who is exactly on time all the time but has some other annoying personality trait, like an irritating laugh.

To me, the least attractive thing anyone can do or say is to betray a trust.

calverson · 06:56 PM

That's a true Glenn answer

Punctualness isn't the number one thing on the list for me, or I guess it depends what we mean by punctual.

I am married now

but back in the day, I would have way preferred a girl who was 30 mins late and looked like Keira Knightly, than a punctual girl who looked like Ke$ha.

Physically, it's hair on a women where there shouldn't be (read: anywhere but growing off the top of her head or eyebrows {two of them}). On a social level, I cannot stand one-uppers, or b*tches. There is a certain demeaning attitude that some women have that's just so damn infuriating. It's the stupid "I'm better than you and I don't need you attitude" – which usually means that they will land up stalking you to tell you how they don't need you.

B*TCH BE COOL!

You're not a proper man if you don't like playing with her armpit pubes.
heh

Laminar · May 29, 2011, 05:53 PM

I hate eyebrows.

Shaddim · May 29, 2011, 10:14 PM

Racial/ethnic slurs. She could be the most beautiful chick on the planet, but if she pops one of those she might as well look like a Bassett hound.

calverson · May 29, 2011, 10:22 PM

What if a Basset hound was racially and ethnically tolerant? Oh wait...

calverson · May 29, 2011, 11:44 PM

And writing short answers... but I guess we/I are/am derailing.

Start a thread about it!

Salty · May 29, 2011, 11:45 PM

Agreed on the slurs thing.

Actually my sister walked out on a date a while ago because a guy made an anti-gay slur. She was like, "Yah, my brother's gay." And walked out. The weird thing is we fight like cats and dogs, and she's on more than one occasion probably said worse things than what that guy did.

brassplayersrock² · May 30, 2011, 12:49 AM

I have to agree with the smoker thing. Also, girls who only agree with you; a girl without her own thoughts on a matter is unattractive to me. She could agree, but not on every little thing.

.....
women to talk arrogant/confident/strongly like men.
who say something vulgar, crass, or talk about sex when I dont know them well.

...and I second the girls who talk about clubbing/drinking. women who are adults need to act like it.

Yeah but people shouldnt be talking like that with someone they barely know. It says all kinds of things about that guy.

Not over here there ain't - if a chick self-identifies as a lib/femi/enviro, she's usually a complete nightmare who's been indoctrinated into the hive already. It never ends well.

Face Ache · May 30, 2011, 06:34 AM

Saying things like "Stop following me, "Leave me alone, you creep" or "I'm phoning the police".

I hate chicks that play hard to get.

Or when you take the gag off and they start pleading for you to stop. It's like, yeesh I'm already inside!

brassplayersrock² · May 30, 2011, 02:40 PM

Have a nice week guys, and girl, this thread is now done.

calverson · May 30, 2011, 02:48 PM

My thought exactly. Let's try rerail.

I once was about to lean in for the kiss with this girl at a club, and as I was about 6 inches from her face, she said "I am so tripping on acid right now". I just couldn't. Thinking about it later, she was probably the hottest girl that I have ever (almost) been with. But knowing that she was on LSD just degraded the whole idea.

Druggies are a no-no.

calverson · May 30, 2011, 02:54 PM

Also, and this is may be a merely personal opinion not shared by anyone in this forum, but chicks-with-dicks are out of the question. That's probably the least attractive thing a women could say.

"Oh btw I have a pecker." That would turn me off pretty fast.

(I am heterosexual myself and no offense intended to those who like peni).
