while self reflecting today,,,I thought about what I posted in other discussions about the physical not being a priority in attraction and I still stand by it,,,except

when it comes to turn OFFS, I Think they will kill the potential for attraction/romance 90 percent of the time, unless changed or corrected (like toothlessness, for me)


this is different though, from not being immediately turned on by something physical or having that immediate 'spark' some require

sparks, in my experience, can develop from emotional, intellectual and spiritual connections which take longer to form than physical ones,,,,


do you have physical turn offs that kill potential for attraction?

Is the absence of an immediate physical turn on enough to kill potential for attraction / romance?

Being dirty and ungroomed could kill it for me.
Other than that I can't think of much else, although I do prefer taller men.

OMG, do I have to make a point of saying I want teeth?

Turn off is references or jokes to encourage me spending the night, or having sex with them. As in immediately. Even after I make it clear that I wait for monogamy.


we should sleep on it before you make a final decision smokin

I don't know if this qualifies..
but I always wait to form any
opinion until they have spoken.

That can be the begiinning of
the turn-off.
Lights on, nobody home.

i agree with soufie,
lights on, nobody home.
also it's whether you
actually like the sound
of their voice, if not,
why would you want to
spend the rest of your
life listening to it?

No but poor hygiene and a total lack of personality are automatic turn offs for me.

I thought she was talking about physical turnoffs.
I have a list for anything else.

I'm sorry but overweight is a big turn off for me. I have short arms and I need someone that I can get my arms around.

Turn offs: unkempt is a big one, not a fan of hairy guys, bad breath/teeth, being overly muscular OR too skinny, not a blond, I guess getting jaded is another one for me, it affects how they live their lives.

Dang this is a tough one. I am an open minded person. Girls that have all of these 4 traits I would never go out with. Are on Food stamps, pot smokers, need a cigarette every 10 minutes, and always like to get drunk.

Eeyores. Although Eeyore is very cute and huggable..being eeyorish is not that attractive to me. Turn off there.

I agree with waiting till they open there mouths.
I study people, I hear their words and I wait n watch for the actions.
Integrity is a turn on for me.
I also watch to see if she can look me in the eyes when she tells me about herself.
Tells me alot!!!
Lying is an Instant turn off.
Poof...I'm gone!!!!!!!!!
