Australian Chick - by Journeywoman

What are your biggest dating turn-offs?

May 30th 2008 00:29
There are standards of behaviour when it comes to dates, but not everyone lives up to them. Being late, smoking, having bad breath and so on are the more obvious of turn-offs, but there are some that are particular to the individual person. For me, it's bad teeth. I don't mean crooked teeth (though this could be a turn-off to some) but yellowing, badly-cared-for teeth - ugh. Truly disgusting!

Back away, not today...



A friend of mine finds men who talk on their mobiles during the date to be a huge turn-off, as it shows a lack of respect for her time, and ultimately, a lack of respect for her in general. Another hates men who spit when they speak. I can't date a fat guy, simply because I'm attracted to healthy, toned men; it's human nature.

So what are your biggest dating turn-offs? What standards of behaviour and etiquette do you believe should be followed on dates (or hook-ups)? Let me know orblers!

No bites?

Well here's my list, other than the aforementioned turnoffs of bad teeth and fattiness:

1) Misogynists (1 sexist joke is pushing it, 2 is unacceptable)
2) Nervous guys who are too eager to please
3) Drug fiends
4) Guys who are constantly texting/on the phone.

Journeywoman, I agree with ALL of those turn-offs except I'd add racist and homophobic remarks alongside misogynist ones.
And I have to say, I quite like the pudgy guys. I have a thing for fat men. In fact, John Goodman is one of my huge celebrity crushes. I don't mind flab or even fat, I do mind lack of cleanliness, crudeness and emotional impotence. Not that I've dated in a while....
