Instant Turnoffs

I know that similar things have been done, but this can be a fun topic to revive

So what is it that will instantly make you lose interest in an otherwise attractive or compelling stranger?

For me, it is the when somebody answers a cell phone in a loud ostentatious manner, elevator looks and wolf whistles.

coughing up blood is always a big no no for me

Often, I have been following – I mean, looking at a pretty woman, but am instantly turned off when she lights up a cigarette.

Also, I might spot a good-looking lady down the isle in the supermarket, and as I rush wildly with my cart to get a closer look, I find that she has painted her face with so much garish makeup, it could choke an armadillo!

Sporting an I HEART BUSH pin would be right up there in the big 10 turnoffs.

Not many things, actually...@Grendel: coughing up blood is most likely only a temporary thing and not a trait, so I wouldn't mind

I can't stand drunk guys, that's a total turn off, but that is also very obvious. The biggest turn off for me is when I start talking to the man and realise he has unacceptable prejucides or is just plain stupid. I also loose interest in nanosecond when I hear stereotyped jargon.

To me, that would be evidence of fulfilling either the "unacceptable prejudice" or "just plain stupid" criteria

Excess swearing.

Do those really exist?

Haven't see any up on this side of the border

Well, since I'm all for class, anything that is generally a low class thing is a turn off for me. Add to that, smoking, excessive swearing, prejudices and 'valley girl' mentality, and that pretty much sums it for me.

I think another real turn off for me is smug arrogance. I also immediately lose interest if a guy exhibits that sleek, predatory attitude that some men (and to be fair, women too) exude.

Not that I am actually in the market, so to speak, but being aware of the desert menu while on a diet does no harm

Let's see, a total turnoff for me....usually the 6'2 285lb guy she's been standing with the whole night. I rarely pursue these women.

Ebola kills

I remain defiantly stupid and prejudiced against attractive women coughing up blood.

On a similar note, IF she was once a he... That is a bit of a turn off

Or, if she looks like a he.

True, I always ask for medical records and birth cretificates on the first meeting

Is that why they all think you are looking to play doctor?

IS there a down side to that line of thought?

Bah, perhaps if you are in the DR of Congo, in Europe & US I'm sure coughing blood is only a sigh of pneumonia or so...that's not to bad, I met one of my ex bf:s when I had mycoplasma pneumonia. Some minor interruptions in our sexual activites every now and then during the first months was all

That happend to one of my best friends

He followed the "girl" home, they were making out in the sofa, and when he reached beneath her skirt...he found something which shouldn't have been there
