Bad smell.
Hands looks dirty as in actually dirty/unhygienic.
A guy who’s too ‘blokey’.
Really greasy hair and tbh I prefer shorter hair on men.

I hate the idea of men saying fat, unemployed or hairy women give them the ick.

Get used to it, they say it all the time.

Such a cruel thread. If roles were switched people would be up in arms.

AffronttoBS · 21/10/2022 07:43

Tracksuit bottoms and dirty trainers look.
Articulate and manipulative men who give off misogynistic vibes.
Dark beards, unshaven.

This is a mean spirited thread, regardless of gender. If men were talking like this about women, it would be labelled as misogynistic.

Greenginghamdress · 21/10/2022 07:46

Not a beard fan.
Small hands.
Thinking they are god's gift.
Men who always have to date younger and don't women their own age.

ergh

The awful beer breath, you know the one, 2/3 pints in and their breath smells like a rotten animal has died in thier mouth

TweetnDour · 21/10/2022 07:54

It's not a cruel thread. 90% of the comments are about things within the control of men eg hygiene and long nails.
I'm sure men who are obese or with little hands know they aren't sexy traits. If you think a specific comment crosses the line, spare us your faux equality virtue signalling and report it. You may also hide the thread.

Likes watching strictly, and does all the voting.

They do.

Bridge2far · 21/10/2022 07:59

Plucked eyebrows, beards, botox, waxed legs/chest, Johnny Bravo physiques, unnaturally white turkey teeth, did I mention beards?

ReneBumsWombats · 21/10/2022 08:00

It's a thread about turnoffs in the opposite sex (or, I presume, whichever sex attracts you). Anyone attracted to women can share their turnoffs too.

OoooohMatron · 21/10/2022 08:02

Big beards
Shoulders that slope down
Skinny men
Arrogance
Non driver
Not being able to do basic DIY

Yeah. There's not much that's a deal breaker for me physically, short of very bad self-care and personal hygiene, but I really like a practical man who gets shit done.

Moustaches actually give me the ick.

Have you been on online dating recently. This is what men say. Add also only big breasted women should apply”.

MyPurpleJacket · 21/10/2022 08:24

I absolutely hate it when DH cuts his toenails in front of me, particularly when he uses the clippers. It doesn’t matter even if he’s doing in the bathroom and trying to do it away from me. If I accidentally walk past and see it, it makes me go 🤮 🤮

A580Hojas · 21/10/2022 08:27

Men who get drunk and don't know when to stop drinking.

Men who wear loafers.

Pessimists.

I'm also not a fan of fat.

Agree, I find it quite interesting just how many judgement or women there are I assumed it was men that would judge mental of women as a woman that feels that men are judgemental of me. I don’t understand what does it matter what clothes men like to wear how does that impact how are you feel about somebody I really think this is the problem with society nowadays we are too fickle

SirMoose · 21/10/2022 08:31

aww I see my poor husband in a few of these posts! Good job I love him and find him attractive though.

Freespirit42 · 21/10/2022 08:31

I think at this point I’d be grateful if any man took an interest in me, I’ve given up on dating sites because I just can’t do it I just can’t I’m more about face-to-face conversation

BettyPaws · 21/10/2022 08:35

I really don’t know why but as soon as I see a picture of a anyone make or female doing this rock hand thing 🤘, I know that we could never be acquainted in any way. It makes me cringe but maybe I’m just not cool enough for it.

BettyPaws · 21/10/2022 08:36

Sorry there were so many mistakes in my last post!
