yea, i'd also add silence and looking annoyed if you arent talking constantly... im not usually quiet, but on first dates its nice to have the talking be 50/50. so annoying if the girl wont reciprocate. sometimes if this happens i pretend ive known her forever and talk as if she was an old friend, kinda a fun experiment

Here's my list fast and dirty:

1. Smoking
2. Too loud and obnoxious
3. Caked on war paint
4. Tattoos
5. Too mousey and meek
6. Talking endlessly about ex boyfriends and previous relationship disasters.
7. Telling me they have been stalking their ex boyfriend for a year and he has a restraining order on her. Telling me you have an arrest warrant out for you due to 4 moving violations and 2 car accidents in the last 2 months. Telling me you have $30000 in CC debt and are about to lose everything you have, not to mention her job. Telling me you caught an std from a random guy she picked up at a bar. ETC.(that was a blind date set up by a friend, not my pick)
8. Stuffing their face like the coal stoker on the Titanic and expecting me to foot the bill.
9. Heavy Drinking.

One thing I'm never doing again is blind dates. I'm not doing it, period. No, no and NO.

Second, I got used to Aussie and Kiwi girls and the slow evolution in a relationship by going out with others and segwaying gradually from friendship to beyond. I don't like the one on one big first date here in the states which usually feels like from my perspective a job interview of which I am expected to foot the bill on.

A total pain in the tookas sometimes but he is the "thick and thin" guy that I imagined meeting when I was a little girl.

Or if I didnt that would be nice too....
What you said is so true lol..i know more women that have met their mates when they looked like total poo then the other way around..

I don't like piercings or tattoos. Hopefully, I won't see any on a first date.

I don't want a woman to try jumping my bones on the first date.

Other than that, I have pretty low standards.

My biggest turnoffs are excessive drunkeness, indecisiveness, arrogance, and inability to be confident. If these are all present in a guy, he can forget about it.

No one said being Clingy or kissing up excessively ("i.e. I think that you are so perfect"). 20 years ago, that would have topped the list. Funny how things change. Now it is cellphone/texting at the top it seems.
