Title: turn off's
Post by: forsythia12 on March 05, 2008, 07:19:08 pm
this runs along the same lines as "things i dislike", but i wanted to make it a little more specific, and ask what bugs you about things people do?  what's your 'turn off's'.... what repulses you?  what do you find unattractive?

for example, i hate overuse of perfume!  women who load that stuff on just make me gag when i walk by them.  men's calogne doesn't bug me as much, but still, over scenting is a major 'ewwwww' for me.
also, i hate when women apply lipstick above their real lip line....i guess to try and make their lips look bigger?  yuck. 
i don't think it fools anyone...and i find it quite obvious.

If we're going to talk about annoying makeup, I hate when people have thick black eyeliner lines with lots of clumpy mascara. A lot of girls I know do that.

It also really bothers me when people are rude to people like waiters and cashiers for no reason. Is it that difficult to be polite?

People who pluck their eyebrows into extinction and the pencil them back in again way above their natural line.I haven't seen it so much in the states,so
maybe it is a bit of a British thing.
It used to bug the hell out of me,because when I was an optometrist you were meant to fit specs with the top of the frame in line with eyebrows,Try doing that when eyebrows are halfway up the forehead!!!!!
So not a good look.
People who spit in the street GROSSS beyond words.

I dislike very much people who go from a door to the street or turns a corner without stopping even if they see someone else is already walking.It's as if they have permission to walk everywhere and only the others must stop if they don't want to collide¡.
People who "arrange" your shirt's collar while they're speaking to you.
People who are too "worried" about other's persons life.
People who don't leave his seat in bus or the underground to older persons or pregnant women.
And of course,people who don't wash themselves too much¡   >:(

Just a note on this.  Women used to do a lot of this in the 1950s and 1960s in the US, only to learn that their eyebrows no longer grow back.  It happened to my mom.  She wishes she didn't have to use pencil now.



Oops sorry I did not intend to offend anyone.It was just pet hate of mine.I forgot it used to be the fashion.I guess what I meant is,when the eyebrow line is for some reason, pencilled in inches above where it would naturally be.

Another big turn off, anyone other than very very young hunks wearing speedos.

Socks with sandals.

People with no sense of humor/ who are overly negative

People who value "things" over people.

My hubby and I went into a club one time, in the middle of summer and he was wearing sandals, and he was told he had to either put socks on with them or leave.......He left.....

The stupid thing about that incident at the club, was that most of the ladies there, including me, were wearing sandals, and that was accepted, but a man wearing sandals (without socks) was not. Hard to understand especially in the middle of summer...... ::) ::)

Bad teeth, bad breath, ugly feet and hands and bad symmetry.

I'm a Libra, I like beauty and balance and symmetry, and latest studies have shown that people who are not found attractive in general have asymmetrical features.

I immediately spot the asymmetry and it does nothing for me, no matter how many other positive attributes a person might have.

i.e.  I can be friends with them, but no romance.
