  • personal cleanliness.
  • lack of ambition.
  • laziness.

A lot of people have said a man not being able to drive would be a turn off. Would you think the same for a women? I can't drive (yet, still learning) but i've never had anyone tell me it's an issue. Yet I often hear most my friends (even none drivers) say they wouldn't date a man who cannot drive.

Some of these are obviously universal turn offs, you don’t need to say the bare minimum like ‘poor hygiene, a domestic abuser, encrusted in faeces.’

-has, or wants, a kid
-blonde or mousey
-wet lips
-a weird voice
-extrovert
-obsessed with his relatives
-in to sport of any kind
-in to pop culture/conspiracy drivel/beer swilling thicko
-sub intellect or gormless
-doesn’t adore my dog
-beards. Disgusting.
-meat eating

Never again. Totally sealed my vagina.

Super loud OTT dramatic sneezing

ZoominMoomin · 08/10/2020 00:15

@imissthesouth Haha I have actually! He's the light of my life and I should probably tell him that more than I do, tbh. I promise I am not some hard to please bitch! I am just quite picky. Almost anything else goes other than what I listed.

imissthesouth · 08/10/2020 00:17

I'm very glad! I have to say I agree with pretty much everything on the list, I'm just a little more lenient😂

Efftwentytwenty · 08/10/2020 00:22

Being on their phone

ZoominMoomin · 08/10/2020 00:22

@imissthesouth Fair one! I did forget one thing though - BEARDS! Have I overdone it now? Wink

imissthesouth · 08/10/2020 00:23

Not at all, I hate beards!😂

MiddlesexGirl · 08/10/2020 00:27

Send all the beards my way please - well the clean ones anyway 😂

AcrossthePond55 · 08/10/2020 00:46

The immediate thing that popped into my head was: Temper.

Not just 'rage', it also includes 'hissy fits' at people AND inanimate objects, sulks, pouts, resentment, and silent treatment.

I can handle a normal honest 'row' or a bit of frustration, we all do that. It's mindless anger and inability to control themselves that I can't stand. I lived with that before and will NEVER put up with it again.

Zippetydoodahzippetyay · 08/10/2020 01:28

Bad body odour & bad breath.

funinthesun19 · 08/10/2020 03:22

Well out of a long list in my head I’ll pick one...

Arrogance. Eg Someone who thinks they’re better than others because they have more money and treats people like dirt as a result.
