What do you NOT find attractive?

[Scheherazade]

Since the attraction threads have proved so popular, one cannot help but wonder what the opposites are.

Some attributes that I do not find attractive:

Lack of hygiene

Passive-aggressive attitude

Loudness

General lack of sympathy, kindness and generosity of soul towards others

and drum roll, please:

Extremely good looks (or tendency to think so)

[Revolte]

"Extremely good looks (or tendency to think so)"

The opposite for me, In terms of self perception. It's not being cocky it's loving yourself and the more the better. Anorexia, bulimia and those oh so damn common "well I'm okay, but I hate my body, I have a nice *** though" statements sicken me. What is wrong with you, why would you hate yourself? Why not love yourself, think you're beautiful! That is hot, that is sexy, that is probably the most attractive quality a person can posses. It's a complete f you to everything we are forced to believe and it's stuff that kills.


I find content unattractive in general. You live once, why should it be good enough? What a waste.

[papayahed]

long fingernails on a guy

Men who ask to borrow money not as in hey, I bought the tickets can you get the popcorn but as in hey, can you pay for my car repairs. Dude, where's your emergency savings?

[tonywalt]

Girls who act really Dumb-super annoying. Some are quite smart, but act that way for my benefit?!?! It's not as common with European girls -actually kinda rare.

Oh yea, what else - girls who scream OMG and Awesome etc...a little bit is ok, but too much squeaking is an irritant.

[Charles Darnay]

Overly loud.

People who are afraid of themselves and have to adopt the mannerisms of those around them for fear of societal rejection.

Liars. The extreme opposite may be just as bad - the overly honest type - but people who lie to me about important matters don't count for much.

[Darcy88]

The ones who spend half their time lying comatose-like in tanning beds and who like whatever is fashionable in the mainstream. Girls who say they really love to read but can't ever seem to find the time to read and get annoyed when I decide to read rather than watch a movie. Girls who fear commitment is number one, I'd honestly rather face immediate damnation than ever again fall in love with a young woman who simply can't seem to fall in love, no matter how much they LIKE me.

Girls who do not know what a proper diet entails, who pump themselves full of soda pop and skip meals and graze on convenience store food. A young woman who is embarrassed by public displays of affection will not own my heart for long. I like to pick my woman up, ravish her, put my arm around her. I respect some rules of decorum, especially when kids are around, but I really like to show the world that she's my woman, and I like the opposite, I like seeing young women be jealous of my woman. My girlfriends are always beautiful but they are not these tanning bed bleach blonde barbie types and my women usually drive said barbie types nuts. I like to show off my girlfriend and I like to be shown off by her.

A closed mind is a pretty tough nut for me to crack. If a girl is homophobic, racist, antithetical to any of the world's main religions and their adherents, is unable to see both sides of the philosophical and religious coin, I will be quite turned off. Racism and bigotry are big turn offs for me.

An unwillingness to learn. Some young women don't want to hear about Milton or Freud or Homer. They are comfortable wearing blinders and shriek every time you attempt to enlighten them on anything.

A girl who does not love and respect nature. Some young women just do not like nature. They can't handle the lack of electronic stimulation, the bugs, sleeping on an air mattress instead of a bed.

A young woman who does not know how to inflate my ego when its been obliterated by some life event. If I am feeling down I need her bring me up, not harp on about how much I messed up.

A woman who is too materialistic.

In the end, I need a young woman who is comfortable with and respectful of me, during times when I am strong and weak, healthy and sick, happy or down, agitated or apathetic.

[Monamy]

O_O; Darcy, that's a long list. You really thought this through, didn't you?

As for me, self-centered and unethical people are a complete no-no on my list. Anything else can be worked out, eventually. But if you lack those two, you wouldn't have the needed commitment to change and fix the bad things in you.

So yeah, the unrespectable and unethical.

[Revolte]

and unethical people\

Ah, but ethics exist on a per person basis. There is no true wrong and no true right. What you might see as being wrong, someone might see as being right.

[Delta40]

Really hairy men. I mean so hairy you could crochet something out of them - but you know, they might be really nice, intelligent and have a great sense of humour which would affect my eyesight....

[Scheherazade]

"Extremely good looks (or tendency to think so)"

The opposite for me, In terms of self perception. It's not being cocky it's loving yourself and the more the better. I should clarify.

I do not mean people who are content with their physical qualities but those who spend hours in front of the mirror as well as a small fortune to "improve" their looks... Those who are obsessive about how others perceive them physically. And that includes excessive physical training as well.

Another thing: People who fuss over food and drink.

I would, of course, like to have good quality but I find it very annoying when people keep talking about how their steak was not perfectly done or how their pasta was over cooked by 30 seconds. Have been out with people who actually sent their food or drinks back and I find it very embarrassing. I don't get it right every time at home myself and if one meal out of thousands in my lifetime does not turn out "just so", I feel it is OK.

[Monamy]

Ah, but ethics exist on a per person basis. There is no true wrong and no true right. What you might see as being wrong, someone might see as being right.

I'm aware of that, but some people are so selfish they'd see the wrong in the actions of others, but they would not see it if that same action came from them. In other words, Hippo-crates.

[Emil Miller]

Fatness, then again there's fatness; not to mention fatness and what about fatness? But in thinking about it, at the end of the day and with all due consideration, it comes down to fatness.

[Monamy]

You do know that some people can't help the genes they have inside them, right? ^_^;

I agree with both... I don't like cockiness or those who obsess over their looks, nor people who are really fussy about food. I also do not think I could date a guy that really did not like to eat and found food to be just something that he needed to ingest in order to survive... I'm a gourmand, so I like others that are as well...

In addition, I find the following extremely unattractive:

-Bad body odor
-Any fundamentalist views (religious, nationalist, racist, etc)
-Intolerance or unwillingness to engage with people of different backgrounds, views, opinions, etc.
-Bad/improper etiquette (or having none at all) and/or rudeness
-Passivity or inactivity (general and prolonged laziness)
-Someone who is not curious (to learn new things, to try new foods, places, activities, etc)
-Someone who is constantly negative and a total downer
-Extremely overweight individuals (the way you treat your body reflects a lot on your mental health as well and your will power and character)
-Lack of compassion AND passion

[Emil Miller]

The title of this thread is: What do you NOT find attractive?

[Monamy]

Yeah, I know. Just there was something about the way you said it, is all. No offence. =3 I apologize.

[Helga]

-loud
-think they are gods gift to women (dated one like that, man it was annoying)
- too outgoing
-and too much body hair.

I also don't find muscular guys attractive, a little bit is OK but not too much

[Revolte]

-think they are gods gift to women (dated one like that, man it was annoying)


But.... What if we are? :aureola:

[cacian]

Aggressive and matcho type as well as dull.
Dull is the ultimate for me and I know a few.That has got to beat them all nothing worse then facing someone dull.

[Helga]

But.... What if we are? :aureola:

then I'd love to meet you and claim my free gift... but in my experience I'd only be disappointed.

I know I am God's gift to men, but they seem to disagree for some reason.

[Pensive]

In no particular order:
*lack of kindness
*aggression
*not capable of being a good listener
*overly ambitious
*overly materialistic (or greedy)
*overly intelligent/sharp (in a shrewd kind of way)
*arrogant/somebody who looks down upon others quite often
*very critical
*somebody who can not appreciate simplicity/simple things of life
*a good deal sexist
*show-off
*dishonesty
*excessive flirting

And you could actually tell I do NOT find these things attractive. Well I am still single (have always been, and am prepared to be forever so as well :p)

[JuniperWoolf]

Passive-aggressive attitude

Me too, GOD I hate it. It's the most frustrating thing in the world, I don't know what to do when someone is being passive-aggressive.

Some others:

-people who are easily offended
-self-pity
-pleasantries
-flirting, which is basically like small talk except there's more expected of you.
-long hair on a male (anything past the shoulders grosses me out)
-sloppy eye makeup on a female
-hippies

I am not clear on this do youmean acted sexual acts like in movies and books?

[ClaesGefvenberg]

There are plenty of turn-offs, but the first one that comes to mind is the tough girl act: When someone is putting up a rather abrasive facade to hide inner insecurity. N.B that I am not saying that anyone should be meek, submissive, not stand their ground, or anything like that. That can be achieved without acting like a cast iron *****. It is a turn-off even when I see through it.

I don't think I am altogether mistaken in assuming that the ladies have similar gripes concerning cast iron bastards of the male kind?

I don't know - a few things, I'm a little too tired to think. I don't like women's feet very much. Actually, I think I'm quite forgiving as long as I get some peace now and again and I'm not nagged too often.

hahaha, I did not expect anyone to mention this. But I don't think it's any more prevalent in the west indies than in Europe, most girls just think that spitting is more ladylike and that only sluts swallow. It's quite sadly a popular misconception.

[JuniperWoolf]

Nah, I like that. The so-called "b*tchy" girls with perfect hair, cheerleader types, harsh and strong and cruel, and hiding their vulnerability deep inside which they'd rather die than let anyone see.

[The Comedian]

Unattractive, by category. . .

Physical
Obese
Tattoos
Body Odor
"Attention getting hair color" (purple, pink, Kool-aid blue)
Frowns a lot

Emotional
Drama Queen
"The world is against me" attitude
Passive-aggressive
Mean, antagonistic
Self-centered, takes everything personally

Intellectual
Intensely political (heavily aligned to a single political party)
Mocks the intellectual values of others
Humorless
Reads & loves Twilight, Harry Potter, and Dan Brown, and asks me "Why don't you teach these novels to your classes. They're so addicting." To which, I want to say "So is cocaine, but I don't pass that out to the students" . . . but I refrain and say some lie like "maybe. I'll have to read those books more closely".

Peccadilloes
Constantly plugged into an electronic device
Checks phone/txts constantly
Picky eater (picks olive off of a pizza, for instance. I mean, unless (a) you're deathly allergic to olives or (b) you're 5 years old. Just eat the damn olive).
Scared of nature: mosquitoes, poop, fish, worms. . . . . .

I could add to this list, but it's all I can think of right now. . .

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Oh! Oh! Can I add that to my list!?

If you want. I'm sure some guys dig it.

[The Kid]

Exactly what does passive-aggressive mean?

I really don't like it when girls or women use the F--- word. Please, it's vulgar when said in front of women, but it's just downright disgusting when said by a woman.

It's totally repulsive when a girl with a nice body part says something to bring this to my attention. Please, if you really do have a nice-looking a**, then I would have noticed. Don't point it out to me. Immediate turn-off.

Whether male or female, it is unnattractive to be overly argumentative. I enjoy discussing my opinions with people who believe otherwise, but there is no fun in arguing. I'm not reffering to someone who is opinionated; it is admirable to have firm beliefs. What I'm refferring to is like Everybody Loves Raymond type of argumentative, where people argue about trivial things.

In girls I do not like those which are popularly regarded as being sexy. I find the more guys who want to "get inside" a girl, the less I am attracted to her.

I don't like big breasts in a lady. They are just not something attractive. I prefer small breasts. Perhaps this is related to the reasoning in my previous note: many guys find big breasts sexy, therefore I am offended when a girl thinks she's attractive just because she has big breasts.

[The Kid]

Oh and of course feminists. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with having firm beliefs. But I'm talking about the feminist women who are offended by the most sincere and heartfelt compliment, the ones who get defensive when no offense was intended. Did I somehow upset you by thinking about you? Or are you angry because I said hello?

[Desolation]

After years of being somewhere between a punk and a hippie, I've found that I'm very much not attracted to "counter-cultural" girls. The whole culture of parties, booze, pot, casual sex, and drugs irritates me now - it all seems so shallow, impersonal, and ugly. I like high-strung feminists, and girls that are a bit more down to earth, and, dare I say, "boring." The ones that would rather spend a Saturday night studying than getting wasted.

Yes, high strung feminists and girls that are down to earth in equal measure.

And yes - like any red blooded guy, any girl into casual sex is down right repulsive-even if she is charming and attractive(No Way). How many times does I guy have to say "Stop touching me there, or I'll to ask you to leave!!" or "No, you cannot blankity blank by duwop!!- on the first date!!

[Emil Miller]

Thank you for totally missing my point. Clearly, because I'm in favor of caution on the part of both sexes about who they end up in bed with, and am not in favor of indulging in casual encounters, I think women should have to wear chastity belts. Better yet, maybe they should all get stoned on their fathers' doorsteps. :rolleyes:

I didn't say I'm don't think people should have casual sex, smoke pot, drink copiously, or whatever else they want. I just don't want to partake in any of the above. Sure, I'm often totally reviled by how often men get women drunk or strung out enough to consent to something they'd otherwise not want to do...But, I'm all for women having fun when they say yes and really mean yes. I'm just not attracted to women who only want a casual thing and nothing more. I'm not that kind of guy.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

It's called kidding around, Desolation. I don't think the humor in Tony's post cou,d be any clearer.

[JuniperWoolf]

^I thought Desolation's was a solid post.

Eh, that's not so boring. First of all, more people get wasted on weekends than study, and rarity is intriguing. Secondly, I'd find it much less tedious to talk to someone about something intersting than to clean vomit off of them and pull them out of fist fights.

What is "casual" anyway? I wouldn't have a physical relationship with anyone I didn't strongly admire, but at the same time I wouldn't plan a joint life and a shared ma and pop business together or something.

[Alexander III]

Actually, this is weird, but I don't think I could ever be with a girl like that. I am just so used to a certain routine, if you will, and certain types of people, that a girl who actually cared and took life seriously would just make me feel awkward. I have never thought, how getting drunk on the weekends is such an important ritual in my life, but it is and a girl who was not like that, I don't think I could ever care for her, especially if she is one of those many "flaws don't matter because they can be changed"

Anyone else concur with my sentiment?

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

It's not that it's a solid post or makes legitimate points (it does), I just found it odd that Desolation seemed so offended by what was obviously a jocular post made by one of this forum's most jocular members.

[Buh4Bee]

So anyway, what I find most unattractive in the opposite gender is the constant need to criticize or nit-pick my quirks. In my younger days, nothing turned me off faster than some opinionated little prick telling me how I should be or how women should behave.

Stupid men. And stupid women. Both are equally unattractive. By stupid I mean;
narrowmindedness and an unwillingness to learn; and that could be about anything.

[Darcy88]

I don't like dating women who can't get past my supposedly good looks, who can't handle my over-protective nature, and who want to wait until they are in their late 20s, early 30 to have kids. When I meet my future wife I want to get married and have a kid. I don't know if I'll find the right woman here in Canada where it seems they're mostly all focused on their education and careers. I'll probably be single for a very very long time. I am thinking of travelling abroad to teach english. Doing that, in South America or Asia, I might find the young women there more keen on settling down. I'm becoming Catholic, which might help. The Catholic values really appeal to me. In Church last Sunday the talk was on the sacrament of marriage and how important it is.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Dude, Catholic? Are you serious? Did you make a conscious decision to go with the most morally and socially (and criminally) corrupt religion on the planet (Scientology excluded)?

[Darcy88]

Dude, Catholic? Are you serious? Did you make a conscious decision to go with the most morally and socially (and criminally) corrupt religion on the planet (Scientology excluded)?

If you keep your religion and politics separate like I do then Catholicism is not as bad as many people think it is. The Catholic Church is easy to demonize and I understand the hate it gets, but that hate is often the result of people over-looking the church's many positive contributions to people personally and socially. Faith and family are very important to me. That said, I do not vote according to my faith. Actually I stay right away from politics. I am a-political. Politics stresses me out so much I've come to just avoid thinking about it entirely.

I find women who "act dumb and giggly" a bit much and a little annoying. Well, maybe giggly is ok. But I do meet alot of girls who (even though I know they are intelligent) take on a dum dum persona.

Needless to say, this does not apply to onlitter babes:hurray:

Physical training has a ton of benefits that aren't related to your appearance. If you were interested in strength training or "working out" you would see that while most people do begin with superficial goals (and many will quit without realizing these goals) the immense struggle and discipline required to maintain a great looking/strong physique without the use of steroids leads to strength training becoming something more meditative and complacant. The hours you spend maintaining your strength, health and lustre become part of you. It's a great confidence builder and a good way to prove to yourself that you possess the dedication and willpower that few others do.

It has to be arrogance for me. No matter what it is, when it's said, what context, or even if they're joking it pisses me off to no end. That's the major one. Others include the point scorers which is what Delta40 said. And the dumb people. I don't claim to be smart, but when people don't even try to figure something out and ask for help whining and complaining about how they're 'can't' do it I just walk away. (I've never run into someone who genuinely isn't smart enough to do something if they really tried.)

I really have a hard time with CRAZY. I have actually had to walk away from two "friends" because they were too emotionally unstable. I seem to be a CRAZY magnet. So I recently started to only make friends with psychologists. I have a psychologist friend and a social worker friend and no CRAZY.

Beards on women and people who talk too much.

Haha. I do not like beard on either men or women. Talking is healthy so I would not diss it lightely myself. I would say those who do not say much is problematic.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Never under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

So, why did you ask? Lost precious time.

LOL. Cacian doesn't like bearded Dulcinea del Toboso.

Believe me some of the wackos that go to uni in search of a psych degree are only there for self-help. Fortunately by the time they get to prac, the system weeds most of them out (not all though) Lets hope funding doesn't shear down the quality of education any further!

Something else I do not find attractive in a person is quietness. Someone who does not converse or chat I find unattractive.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Rudeness and excessive vulgarity are my biggest turn-offs. I say excessive only because, even me, once I get to know someone, a swear word or a not-so-kosher topic slips out every once in a while. I simply don't like it when someone swears frequently and constantly talks about things that are in poor taste. There have been people whom I have just met, and f*** is every other word out of their mouth. Really, not charming...

Haha so you would not like literature that swears right?

[blackbird_9]

Lol. Well.... literature is not trying to date me... soooo there are plenty of works with swearing that I love... I do not judge literature like I do men... Maybe I should? Lol.

Hypocrisy bugs me! Maybe because I see so much of it in myself! )-:

Bookish people or people from Academia - that's why I love the 'down home cookin' Litnet forum.

Those who bring out the worst in you

[Adolescent09]

I freakin' hate it when women expect a guy to make them laugh when the VAST MAJORITY of women can't even make me chuckle!!!!!!

You're joking, right?

It is interesting that books equals academia. Homme de Lettres comes to mind.
The question is does Academia equals intelligence too.

I hate it when a girl enjoys popping other people's pimples...it might seem small, but come on, that's disgusting! What possible pleasure that gives someone I'll never understand.

I'm much happier to let you shave my as s, than pop my shoulder zits.

[Varenne Rodin]

Bad breath. Unwashed hair. Shower and brush your teeth, people. It's not hard.

[liza]

protruding ears, not well dressed, bad smell .. I like 'beautiful' people :)

[Ughek]

Like most people, I'm not too fond of strong, repulsive body odour and bad breath. Stupidity is also very high on my list, especially if it's combined with a lack of curiosity or an unwillingness to learn. I don't like easy girls (although they usually have one redeeming quality: they're easy). Conceited, intolerant (as in racist, homophobic...), law-abiding (think miss goody two shoes), superficial or self-centered girls won't get my attention either. Oh, and girls can't be easily offended. I am famous for saying the wrong thing, for example, I called my girlfriend a hippopotamus because she constantly takes exceedingly long baths, because, you see, hippopotami spend so much time in the water. She did not take that well, but when I explained afterwards she laughed and called me an idiot. Ah, love... But when she told her friends, they nearly ripped my head off.

Oh, and I also don't like ugly and fat girls.

[Helga]

people who bug me about the things I don't want to do. Like dance, I don't dance and I don't need to explain myself.

[*Classic*Charm*]

intolerant

Based on the rest of your post, I find this rather ironic :rolleyes5:

[OrphanPip]

I don't like people who don't like me.

Then you don't like yourself?
