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:

Mine are definitely:
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
LOL - it varies!
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.)
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!

Cooking with Crouton: A Food Blog
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.
Love reading all of these!
Here are mine:
Bad breath
Smoking
Body odor
short jean shorts
bad hygiene
arrogant behavior
If he smokes, I'm completely turned off--immediately.

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