1. Let's
face it, a major turn off for most women are males who can't handle their
liquor. Vomiting on the side of the road, in a doggy bag or on a date's dress
is usually a deal breaker.
Men, please refrain from drinking
excessively, especially while on a date. No sane person wants to date an
embarrassing drunk that is touchy feely, belligerent and stumbles to the
car/metro. Please, don't blame poor
conduct on the goose (alcohol); drink responsibly or don't drink at all.
2. Most
women don't want men to dance inappropriately with them, by themselves or with
anyone else. This includes grinding on objects, a woman's backside or performing
lap dances. A word of advice for both sexes is that you shouldn't roll up on
anyone you don't know from behind.
3. Starting
a relationship with negativity will most likely end because of negativity. "If
you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
4. Selfish
and conceited men are annoying to some women. I know we’re not living in the
60's, but some women like it when men open and close doors for them and they also like it when men pay for things without looking for financial support. Men, please show her that chivalry isn't dead, and don't
expect her to cover any portion of the bill.
Most women prefer not to be with
men who think they look better than them. Having a pocket mirror, looking at
one's own reflection in the rear-view mirror or through silverware is a bit creepy, and the qualities of a vain person
that just can't get enough of themselves.
5. Too
much damn cologne is sickening. It can get into a woman's eyes, which can cause
tears and a burning sensation, and then travels down her throat causing her to gag. A person shouldn't be able to taste your cologne from across
the table.
6. Swearing
in public is uncouth and shouldn't be done in the presence of a lady. If every other word you say is a curse word,
you may want to pick up a copy of the Oxford Dictionary.
7. Bad breath/body odor is a major turn off for most people regardless of their gender.
Please, practice good hygiene before you mingle.
8. Being
overly affectionate could earn you a criminal record and/or jail time. Pay
attention to the signs. If she is pushing you always, she's basically saying
through body language that she doesn't want to be touched. Again, avoid being touchy feely.
9. Most women
don't like cheap men. It's not always about materialist things, but you are
selling yourself to her through your actions, therefore you don't want to sell
yourself short by being too cheap. Some women are understanding and will work with
a small budget; others will not.
10. Scorn/bitter
men are seen as weak to most women, therefore broken men can be undesirable. Most women
would like a strong man that is able to live with the past and move on. If you're
unable to let go of things that occurred in past, this may affect
your current relationship.
My Top 5 Turn Offs
1. A
deal breaker for me is a man who has several kids with more than one woman.
This type of man often denies a few of his children and would like for you to
believe that he's nothing like the other guys you've been with.
But, in actuality, he's everything
you don't want in a man; he's someone's thrown away moldy leftovers not good
enough for the trashcan, so he's been discarded in the garbage disposal and
drench with water and non greasy dish detergent because he reeks.
2. I
don't like freeloaders in general, but a man who can't handle his own is the
worst to me. For instance, if he sits at the bus/metro station all day looking
for his next meal ticket or is currently living off of someone who is living
off of someone else, he isn't a keeper, but rather a "scrub." TLC
said it best, "I don't want no scrub," and you shouldn’t want one either.
3. Similar
to the top 10 list, a man that has funky body odor is resistible and
replaceable. Being funky is not a good
character trait. This shows that he cares nothing about global warming as he
pollutes the air with his intolerable funk.
4. Do
you know what's worse than not being able to handle your liquor…having a
serious addiction to Marijuana. Believe it or not, Marijuana makes the mind
lazy and a bit simple; therefore, your thought process isn't right when you're addicted
to gas. When people are addicted to weed some tend to:
- Blame the government for everything that goes wrong (conspiracy theories)
- Are late or never show up for important events
- Have slow reflexes
- Answer questions slowly
5. I
could go on and on, but my final turn off is with men that smoke Cigarettes. I don't
want to die from second hand smoke and I think it's selfish for a smoker to
smoke in the presence of a non-smoker; please, don't put my health at risk. Plus,
cigarettes stink and the smell lingers and gets into clothes. You need a little
more than Old Spice to conceal that smell.
Next week, a
top 10 list of turn offs for men will be posted.
