Poll: Immediate turn-offs

I know we're mostly old married ladies but:

If a guy has ______, you are immediately turned-off?  Or, a guy with ______ is immediately unattractive to you?

Re: Poll: Immediate turn-offs

  • Narsty toenails and a very weak jaw/chin are both big turn-offs for me. 

    ETA-

    Wearing Ed Hardy (or Ed Hardy-like) clothing, jorts, or shirt/tie/jacket combo that are similar to what Regis used to wear on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire.  Judging from the outfits some of the guys wore on the Bachelorette there are still some guys out there who think this is an acceptable look.

  • For me, it would be:

    • Long hair (I couldn't even deal with Bradley Cooper's hair in Limitless)
    • Sandals that are ugly or in an inappropriate setting (this is pretty much anything that isn't flipflops on the beach) 
    • Too much facial hair
    • A backpack with the little chest strap hooked, unless he's hiking.  I'm not really a fan of backpacks on grown men in the first place but I really I don't know why you need to either have everything you own in your backpack, making it heavy enough to need weight distribution on any given day or why you'd clip the thing if you only had the day's work in there.  The belts are even worse.
    • Sunglasses with a strap or on backwards
    • Jean shorts
    • Too skinny pants
  • Bad breath is a total turn-off. Or if they are wearing saggy pants.

  • Mine are definitely:

    • little fingers/hands
    • smoking
    • bad teeth or breath
    • metrosexualness. like if a guy is more into fashion than i am. also, if he has skinny jeans on. ew.

  • bad shoes

    smoking

    phone clipped to your belt/pants

    walking around like an azzhole - strutting around, not making room for others to pass in crowded places, etc. sitting w/ your legs 10 feet apart

    Reeboks/Air Jordans, anything inconsistent/inappropriate for the age & outfit

    If a guy has highlights, I am immediately turned off (or any kind of hair dye.) If a guy has his boxers showing, I am immediately turned off.   A guy who flaunts brand names is immediately unattractive to me.

    (Re: the latter: there was a guy at my undergrad who always wore logo-visors- LV, Coach, etc.  He had burberry shoes and I cant recall his belt but it was pricey.  And he had several variations of these items.  It was so annoying to me because he was far from the wealthiest guy at school, he was just the most obnoxious.)

  • Bad teeth, greasy hair, unibrow

  • Shortness is an immediate turn off and so is really bad skin. I can deal with a couple pimples, but not really bad skin.

    Other than that, it's a case by case basis. I can look past some physical imperfections for a really awesome personality. Conversely, if a guy has nothing other than a good look, he's not worth my time.

    However, I am an old married lady...but I do have permission from my husband to flirt and get free drinks when I'm out with my friends! 
  • Teeth that aren't as white as they should be, and any hygiene issue.

  • Bad breath

    A general unkemptness (it's a word now) about him

    Ed Hardy-style clothes or Hipster-style clothing

    Jewelry (not counting a wedding ring)

    Vulgar language/behavior

    I'm trying to ease my husband out of his jean shorts.  They're killin' me.  I talked him into one pair of khaki cargo shorts from Old Navy that he likes but feels look more frumpy than his jean shorts.  Ugh.

  • general bad hygiene (bad breath, greasy hair, etc.)

    smoking

    arrogant behavior - strutting around like he's better than everyone else, not displaying general manners, etc.

    wearing white tank tops (the "wife beaters", i just hate that name) as an every day shirt, esp. when they have stains on them.

    LOL at jewelry - if I was single, a wedding ring would be a huge turn-off for me!
