Very interesting poll! I'm excited to see what everyone puts.

I'm pretty conservative compared to most people, but I'm also highly tolerant. A few things that immediately turn me off are smokers and heavy drinkers (partiers). It just shows a disrespect to yourself when you abuse your body like that. I am healthy and like to see that in others.

A turn-off in what respect? Do you mean in a potential partner? I have many family and friends that would fall into every single one of these categories, and I love'm all.

A prude woman who is an alcoholic smoker who lives in a trailer and is always talking about church religion and vulgar topics in public is a turnoff.

I can put up with just about anything else on the poll though.

Well, I selected Smoker, Heavy Drinker, Partier Personality, and Prude. I also selected the Contraception option. I chose all of those because they would have a direct effect on my health and my lifestyle.

As long as there's mutual respect, I think the political opinions of the other person are no reason to discount them. I think what's more important are things such as sense of humor, honesty, loyalty, and a host of other qualities.

I checked:
smoker
alcoholic
partier personality
prude
atheist
pro-choice
vulgar
drives an SUV
and I meant to check won't use contraception (don't know why I missed it)

These are turn-offs for romantic relationships. I have friends and family who fit some of these.

The amount of women on this site who dislikes a smoker,I might as well pack up and move to another country the way things are going.

I think back 10-20 years and it wasn't as much of a issue as it seems these days,but that's alright one day coffee drinkers or somebody else will be villianified also.
