Whether you're single, in a relationship, or married, which of these turn you off the most?

1. When a guy is too nice (lets you get away with everything and gives you anything you want)
2. When a guy doesn't want to take charge and leaves a lot of the decision-making up to you
3. When a guy lacks self-confidence (doesn't stand up for what he believes in, doesn't express his opinions and beliefs with convinction)
4. When a guy doesn't take care of himself physically (overweight, etc.)
5. When he's bad or selfish in bed -- doesn't take the lead
6. When he doesn't do anything spontaneous (come up with new things to do/new ways to enhance the relationship, like traveling and trying new restaurants)
7. When he shows zero ambition (no real plans to better himself, like getting a new job, taking on a new hobby, etc.)
8. A combination of all the above

I think a guy needs a strong father figure for guidance to help steer clear of these faults.

Guess I'm kinda lucky in that I would vote for 1 (and perhaps 2, at times)

Thing is, my "guy" is actually a gal. I'd love to know what she would vote for on me, if I let her see this thread, lol

This! All of them are bad and are deal breakers for me. I consider myself a strong, ambitious woman who can manage things perfectly fine on my own, but I appreciate and want a strong, ambitious man who is more than willing/able to take the lead.

A lot of those are major turn-offs, but I think I'm gonna have to go with #4. A person who doesn't take care of their physical and mental health is generally a sign of a lack of self-love. And a lack of self-love leads to many other issues I don't want to have to deal with. I like a man who cares about his body and mind and works to maintain them. I try to do the same.

I've dated a few guys that had some of these, and I actually tolerated them. The worst for me is #7 because I just hate lazy people no matter what.

I say 3, but more in the sense that they mask their insecurities than being spineless. They either pretend to be studs or cynical *******s who think they're better than others. The latter is probably the biggest turnoff for me.

All of these characteristics add up to a weak man, and anyone who has one of those traits probably has most of them.

No one wants someone like that. Women won't want him as a partner and men won't want him as a friend.

I would say the same if the subject was female.
