Reading people's list on here (and in previous threads on what turns you on or find attractive), it sounds like we all pretty much like the same type of man!
He is probably men's equivalent of their dream woman: naturally beautiful and low maintenance.

RedAppleGirl · 21/10/2022 06:49

Beards.
Office boys. So weedy.
Salesmen. Cut the chatter and slimy bullshit.

Things that have given me the ick when I previously quite liked the guy:

  1. Met him in a pub, had a snog, arranged a date for the following evening. He turned up to pick me up wearing a leather waistcoat. That was the end of that.
  2. Guy I worked with, had a few snogs on nights out but after every one he did this weird pause and stared intently into my eyes for several seconds, it was all a bit Kenny Craig.

Talking about their car like it's their girlfriend

cookiecreammmpie · 21/10/2022 07:17

Plucked eyebrows on a man and those low neck tops that make it look like they've got tits.

Calling me their princess.

Bad breath.
Untidiness.
No initiative
Dirty long nails, ugh!
Farting and leaving it lingering for others

Thick sausage fingers, heavy breathing, long toenails as well as poor hygiene.

This is about men only:
grey tracksuit trousers, white trainers, flipflops, painted nails, obsessed with Marvel, noisy motorcycle and car drivers, smokers, long nails, beards or patchy stubble with poor hair growth, man buns, tattoos, shaved or waxed body, overgroomed eyebrows, fake tan or use sunbeds, poor hygiene, earrings on men, piercings, dressing in feminine clothes, daily drinking energy drinks, heavy drinkers.

WTH is wrong with white trainers? What colour should they be?

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 21/10/2022 07:30

Shoes, especially leather without socks and those horrible invisible trainer socks especially when worn without shoes. They look so… feminine.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 21/10/2022 07:31

bad voice

Just on men I don't like white trainers. White trainers are either dirty or he is too precious about getting his trainers dirty. I also think they look cheap. I don't like anything an Only way is Essex man would wear or look like.

NippyWoowoo · 21/10/2022 07:33

Men who wear flip flops as outer wear in the summer 🙈 They belong at the beach or within the home

The no socks with dress shoes look. It really changes the look of a man for me, they go from looking smart to stupid.

TweetnDour · 21/10/2022 07:34

What colour his trainers? Not white or beige or brightly coloured. Something dark or earthy toned if it goes with his outfit, good quality but not stamped around with massive logos which I find vulgar.

Washyourownfeet · 21/10/2022 07:34

Noisy eaters and loud snotty sniffers, men with sloping bums, bleached hair, permed hair, dirty long toenails and fingernails, nastiness and call it banter and obese men that wear tee shirts that are miles too short and have flab hanging over their waistbands and men that have their hands down the front of their pants scratching their balls, I’ve noticed this a lot recently, men scratching their balls in public with gay abandon.
