A bit random but:

Telling me they 100% don't believe in ghosts (or God for that matter). I know we won't get on. Not because of a difference in belief but because I think anyone who can say these things with certainty like that, is probably quite arrogant.

Someone who snaps their fingers at a server in a bar / restaurant to get attention or generally acts in a rude / shitty / patronising manner in that kind of situation.

I'm not dating but I think if a man mentioned he wasn't seeing his kids or he had an acrimonious relationship with his ex it would be instant dump.

Gallowayan · 10/10/2021 23:01

Halitosis

WatieKatie · 10/10/2021 23:10

Bad breath.

Calling his ex a psycho

Buggritbuggrit · 10/10/2021 23:13

@BobbiPinsOn Why do you keep starting these sorts of posts? No massive objections to you being a journalist or similar, but you really should announce it and be transparent from the outset.

Lullaby88 · 10/10/2021 23:24

Saying he doesn't like to travel and he's a mummy's boy. Total fkn turn off.

solarsky · 11/10/2021 00:28

Bad foot wear or teeth

JaniceBing · 11/10/2021 00:32

Grotty nails. Bad breath.

PaulaTrilloe · 11/10/2021 00:35

Mean tipper

TheDuchessOfBeddington · 11/10/2021 01:05

Rude to venue staff, tight-fisted.

me4real · 11/10/2021 01:50

All sorts of things.

Being insulting/confrontational. Seeming to have a bad temper. Being sexually coarse. 'Narcissism'/boasting (after my last ex.) The last one is difficult because it makes it difficult if any of them says anything positive about themselves. Grin I'm sure some would manage to say it in a way that's not a turn-off. Definitely rude to staff, or moaning to me about the cost of a meal (never anywhere overly costly.) The list is endless. Grin

I've not started dating again yet, so that's just going on what I said I'd never puut up with again, and how I feel looking at Bumble profiles. Smile

me4real · 11/10/2021 01:53

Impotence.

romdowa · 11/10/2021 02:15

Having kids , being a big drinker or using drugs at all, no sense of humour, being a workaholic ..... now that I've started this list it's amazing I ever found anyone at all 🤣

Justilou1 · 11/10/2021 02:20

BO and/or Rudeness. Can’t abide either.

Chunkymenrock · 11/10/2021 02:31

Saying would of/could of/should of. Halitosis. Staring at me. Agreeing with everything I say. Having no conversation at all.

Peoniesandpeaches · 11/10/2021 02:55

Bigotry, disliking children and referring to addicts as “junkies” are a few off the top of my head…. Being too “woo” would also be a massive no from me.

ClemFandangoCanYouHearMe · 11/10/2021 02:56

Reading the Daily Mail

backtolifebacktoreality · 11/10/2021 03:09

Picky eater or noisy eater

IrishMel · 11/10/2021 04:31

Agree with so many up there, physically dirty teeth....treating waiter/waitress with rudeness, being mean, also any racist or overly sex comments, just been a dick would turn me right off. Not planning on dating any time soon...oh also no matter what you say if they have to disagree just for the sake of it and in an aggressive way, just so they can be right, had this before, it is tiresome.

Justilou1 · 11/10/2021 07:37

I have come back with more… Bigotry, Homophobia, Religious or political extremism, and a history of “Psycho” exes.

Justilou1 · 11/10/2021 07:38

Oops! And kids that he never sees.

Lifeinthescratcher · 11/10/2021 07:39

Anything suggesting hes a Mummy’s boy! See ya!
