when you're a jerk about it...

People like spontaneity whenever it comes across as being witty or creative, when you're more or less acting in an entertaining way with zero latency to the situation. However, some people are just obnoxious when it comes to this...inappropriate comments, bad jokes, ideas that bog things down, etc.

(that time of the month for the girl) Guy: "Hey I just randomly booked a fancy dinner and got a really romantic hotel room."

When a dude says lets go in the other room and watch a movie, then when you go in and he's sitting there naked.o_O

Spontaneous is unattractive when it takes people for granted. Like people who call on their way into town for dinner, and expect you to drop what you're doing to join them. Or people who drop by your place to include you in their activity for the day with no warning, when you're tied up with a work-related project, or you're waiting for your gf to come over. If the spontaneous last-minute invite is habitual, it's a turn-off.

It's unattractive when it is actually "planned" and used to manipulate someone into feeling or acting a certain way.

Its only unattractive/unwanted when the other person doesn't like it.

Spontaneous Combustion is not attractive at all, kills the mood and makes quite a mess. You really shouldn't try this at home.

Couldn't think how to word it, but you guys did it for me.
