I said the same thing

Wow. We hate the same things. Are you a dude?

Seriously philistine people get on my nerves.
Superstitious people worry me.
Religiosity scares me.
Love is not a business transaction either. It does not involve "work". It is a natural and smooth process, however, it should involve communication and all the stereotypical things associated with true love....but why the heck should that be considered "work" or a "chore". Is true love easy to find? Of course not. Good luck

- Superstition
- Religiosity
- Belief that love is a project and/or a transaction that involves "work", with stability and "warmth" being the only reward for endless years of mind-numbing drudgery. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of Americans perceive love exactly like that, and any dissenting view is seen as "immature". I think it stems from the instinctive belief that anything that's pleasurable, gratifying and doesn't require an effort but occurs kind of by itself must be immoral, wrong or illusory. So let me be one of the "immature" ones. The way I see it, if love requires "work", it isn't love. Perhaps it's nice on many levels, but love it ain't. Real love doesn't require an effort or self-denial. I've always preferred people who, when they fall in love, love effortlessly, naturally and with abandon.
- Fussy eaters

Foul/loud mouth women.

Women with ugly feet are a MAJOR turn-off. She could be a doctor with a supermodel face but if her feet are ugly there is no chance in hell I'm talking to her. I can't suck on ugly toes.

Bad breathe, ugly teeth are a no no. I can deal with braces.

Body odor.

I also don't care for extremely Afro/Euro/Latino-centric females either. Its ok to have cultural pride but not the point where you are purposely offending and alienating ordinary people.

Closed minded women are definitely a no go.

One I hear ALL the time... and from people that I would never expect it...

"The other day I seen this guy...."

Drives me up a wall!

I'd have to agree with the many here who mentioned the constant use of foul language, and it doesn't matter if the person is a male or female.

Using that kind of language moderately, like maybe once in a while, a 4-letter expletive slips out, doesn't bother me, but there's been times where I've seen women in public places, use the kind of language that would make a sailor blush! I didn't know these women of course, nor would I have any interest in knowing such women.

I remember one night we were coming out of a baseball game and walking to the parking lot down the street, and we passed by a loud commotion across the street, and I remember 2 women, who probably had too much to drink, and they were yelling every imaginable obscenity in the book at each other.

I know if I met a woman who talked like that, that would definitely be an immediate turn-off for me, no matter how good-looking she is. My logic would be, if she can't control her tongue, she might have a hard time controlling other things.

Foul language if used in a comical context is a big turn on for me.

When I was playing the field
*Smokers (even the occasional cigar! Yuck.)
*too passionate about things (instead of being pragmatic)
*whiners/complainers
*medium to long length hair (I have a thing for short, buzzed and bald )
*too much artwork on the bod (I prefer no tatts, but can tolerate a little ink. Too much and I'm turned off, unless you look like Dwayne Johnson. )
*I always found myself turned off when I found out the person was in the creative arts (based on my personal experience, they tend to be very passionate about things and I found myself having nothing in common with them.)
*arrogance
*abuse of foul language (I don't mind curse words, but if you can't form a sentence without one, I'm going to question your intelligence.)
*bad teeth (as much as I try not be prejudice of that, unfortunately it's something I have trouble overlooking.)
*men who wear obvious labels/logos (It's weird in that I like men to be finely dressed when it comes to dress clothing, but if I see obvious labels on casual clothing, like True Religion or Rock & Republic jeans, I get turned off. A Canali or Brioni suit is a whole different story. )

Smart boy! Particularly considering how pis*sed I am right now! No, it has nothing to do with the subject at hand here.

Besides, having lunch together doesn't mean 2 people are going to end up together, right? So if you have those 3 traits, and yes, to me they are an immediate turn off, but that wouldn't necesserily stop me from having lunch with you one time.
How generous! I've no need to have lunches with any people who barely "tolerate" me, be it once! One would think you "know" me somewhat by now!
