Now of course, if anyone doesn't agree with anything here, please say so, and give your opinions on the points below. This is what is thought of as the top ten turn offs for men.

Make-up
Ever seen that line between your face and neck - where you can distinctly tell the difference between the two. That is called "too much" makeup. It really is a bad look. Also, excessive lipstick (think dark-lipliner, with pale lips), lipgloss (the sticky kind) and too much perfume.

Eating
If your man knows you care about every single calorie in your meal, or perhaps even take to throwing it up later, he won't be inviting you over. Also, don't go on and on about your latest attempt to lose weight. Just enjoy your meal!

Generalising
Don't commit the cardinal sin of saying negative or derogatory things about men. An example? "All men are idiots", or "There are no good men left in the world". Whether you're serious or not, don't run the risk of alienating or degrading the man you're with.

Choose what you say Wisely
Never, EVER, talk about your exes on the first date. Reserve this for men you've known longer than a few hours.

Shave!
Although a little leg hair is passable, armpit stubble is said to be an absolute turn-off, and awful to look at not - it's not all the great to feel either. Make sure you de-fluff yourself before any date.

Stuffed Toys
Men apparently feel that stuffed toys are an instant turn-off. We're talking, a bedroom covered in them, the backseat of your car, or even dangling from the rear-view mirror. I think this is kind of understandable - what type of guy would want to get down and dirty surrounded by your collection of Me to You's?

Drunkenness
Tipsy, affectionate =
Drunk, lecherous =
Please don't leave your man holding your hair out of your face while you empty the contents of your stomach into the nearest toilet.

Love-handles
This is that cute bit of flab that can hang over the top of your jeans. Apparently, it's not a bad thing we have - guys love our soft and slightly fatty bits. But if you're wearing a tiny crop top so that that particular area is accentuated, it's not good, nor is it a turn-on.

Watch what you say!
Don't speak out loud when you're wondering what your children would look like, or what colour your wedding dress should be on a first date. Questions such as, 'So, what school would we send little Leo (or Lucy) to?' will have him running a mile.



[idea from www.handbag.com - my new best friend]

I completey agree with everything, except:


I dont find them a problem?

I am not commitment phobic either, but talking about schools for kids on a first date would seriously freak me out, even though I do really want kids!

So ja, everything except one is true for me.

i dont know if this is true for men.. but most guys i know also find women that smoke to be a turn off... and very unladylike... quote, unquote...

At first Rush kept wiping his mouth to get rid of the gloss but now he tastes it and goes "oh this is the watermelon one"

NEVER get between a lady and her gloss

i agree hiccupsie... they get use to the flavours eventually after complaining and complaining at first.... my boy loves the strawberry and chocolate one....

yep thats a mjor turn off for me, also swearing as well.

Some European countries will disagree with that one...



I don't have a problem with them either. Besides they don't mind being tossed to the floor. In fact I have a sharks teddy and another teddy in my car.

This is a total killer, i prefer if a lady does not go on and on about her ex, if he is that interesting/cool/great/godly why are you with me, if he is that annoying/disgusting/horrible stop talking/thinking about him.

as for the rest not realy bothered (i'm easy )

Yeah, smoking is a big turn-off for me. When you're not a smoker yourself, it smells and tastes terrible. Even if you both are smokers, it screws up your sinuses so much that you can't even enjoy something as simple as smelling her hair. I have no love whatsoever for nicotine.

Also, i kinda don't like it when a girl refers to you (assuming that you are a guy) as "dude". I dunno, i'm sorta of the opinion that "dude" is reserved for guys who are high on pot, drunk, or just surfer dudes from Durban or something.

Only the smoking turns me off... I dun wanna be anyones ashtray


As long as the teddy's are from me to her then it's fine... I've given my a load of teddy's and quiet frankly I've stopped due to excessive clutter in her room

it's even makign it's way to my house/room and car

I like those mushie moro ones

Hygene: Opens the legs and it smells like pork or fish. No thank you...had enough cheese on my last taco.

Sexually Insecure: You mean your..eerr...that thing. I never looked at myself down there.

Attention Whore: Like a crack addict sniffing chalk powder it just doesnt cut it.

Please bear in mind I have high standards... which is another way of saying:"Black you will die alone, face down in the petri dish of life" But hey I like those odds.

That looks terrible, its even worse if it wipes off on anyone she hugs.
I really don't mind being alienated or degraded myself, I just don't care, but if i have to listen to another girl complain about there being no good men left in the world I think I might do something unmentionale.

I don't think you should have to choose wisely just having to listen to someone go on about their ex makes me want to leave.

Well it would all depend on his motives for going drinking with you...

Edit: Argh, can't seem to fix the quotes properly. ;(

All I can say is hair anywhere but on hear head is a turn-off.
And plz no hairy beavers lol

Definately one for the ladies to learn more about men and their needs.

yeah, they can say all they want... i'm special



absoutely...

other than that, there's not much on the list to put me off permanently except her talking about 'our children' on the first date.

about smokers... if they folded under peer pressure to smoke, perhaps they could fold under peer pressure for a good knob.

WAHAHA good one

One thing which I very much detest is when my gf think we I know what they are thinking... I'm thinking about 5 issues they thinking about what I'm thinkiing and making up stories of what I'm thinking and then get pissed off about it cos I don't know what she's going on about

Have to agree with the smoking thing... It's an absolute turn off for me.



... classic!!

go boy go
