Whats the one thing that really turns you off of the opposite sex?
I had a long discussion with my house mate last night after he came home from a date. He was less than pleased with how the date had panned out. It turns out that the girl was still be controlled by her ex of 5 months... (Are you wondering 'What the?' because I certainly was) but that was not what turned him off, he was turned off by the fact that she was 'fat'.
Now most girls in my situation would have smakced him over the back of the head and told him to stop being a prick, however that would be the pot calling the kettle black.
I think he is allowed to be picky about the weight of the girl he is dating, after all, it isnt his type. He is extremely sporty and has expressed the want to date someone who is equally as sporty. It would be relationship doomed to fail, he just didnt want to spend time pussy footing around. I congratulate him for that.
But then it got me thinking, what happens if he is missing out on the perfect girl because she is a little bit curvier? I know plenty of sporty girls who appear to be bigger, he could be missing out based on appearances.
I usually date very thin men. Im not a huge fan of muscle men or bulky men. I did, a while back go out with a guy who was 'chubbier' and he was lovely! I definatley thought it was worth it and disregarded that he didnt fit my usual 'type' (tall, thin, very defined bone structure or as my Mum describes them 'Greyhounds'). Unfortunatley it didnt work for other reasons!
Im not the type of person who sticks to my 'type', im really not that shallow or naive but I do know that there are a few aspects that will turn me off of a guy completely. I cant stand sitting accross from a guy who is a noisy, messy, grotty eater. There is nothing worse! I WILL make up an excuse to leave ASAP... I dont like guys who sit there and make fun of other people... I once went on a date with a guy who, by the very quick end, almost ended up with a black eye! He sat there and made fun of a guy behind me who was asleep, then a guy who happened to be over weight, then some children and so on and so on... The only time he wasnt making fun of others was when he was showing me drunken videos of himself. Smelly, Whiny, Rude and Badly dressed will also get the kick...
Im sure my list is longer but they are the things that come to mind now.
Things that impress me on a date are less relevant than things the dont impress me... Any one ever find that?
Anyway, im dying to find out whats on other peoples lists of Definate No No's on a date? Or whether or not you stick to your type??? Tell all!!!

Little Miss Diva
Could someone please explain to me WHY people have floors that you cant wear shoes on? What the heck is the point?
Allow me to explain my issue:
I AM NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR HEELS IN MY HOUSE!!!!
Argh! Anybody who knows me understands that I LIVE in high heels! I own three pairs of flat shoes, Runners for running, Thongs for taking out the rubbish and a cute pair of Gladiators.
If I could, I would sleep in my heels.
When i first moved into my beautiful North Shore apartment with my room-mate it seemed nothing could bring me down off the high of the subtle yet mind blowingly amazing, modern house that I was paying very little rent to live in...That was until Roomy and I decided to go out... Of course, I had to get changed out of my daggy (flat shoed) moving clothes and into a nice sparkly/fluffy singlet, a pair of Skinny Jeans and my favourite pair of nude Tony Biancos... Should have seen the look on my Room-Mates face! It looked like I had just killed his mother using a kitten as a smothering device!!!
'OFF THE FLOOR' he practically screamed!!! I tip toed off the floor,ensuring my heels left no dents and came back with a shocked expression.
Since then it has been an on-going joke between me and well, me. I frequently make fun of roomy for paying a fortune to have floors that people aren't allowed to walk on... Now, I will admit, they are exceptionally nice floors and he takes care of them so that they are immaculate but couldn't he find a floor that was durable and looked pretty????
This isn't the first time this has happened to me. My Aunt built a house in the middle of the sticks and my first visit over there I almost ended up with amputated legs!!! Again, it was an on-going joke for me that I didn't understand why you would have a floor that someone cant walk on!
Then there was the time I went to my friends house when I was in high school, again, newly built... This time I wasn't wearing heels, due to the school uniform policy (and my disgust) I was wearing sandals... I just walked into the house...Not a second thought.... Until my friends WHOLE family looked at me like I was the grim reaper... My friend kindly whispered in my ear that shoes on the new floors were not appreciated!
Again, another joke for me...
I really don't get it! I pay a lot of money for my shoes, I want to wear them, I feel uncomfortable without them!!!
Now people will argue that they pay a lot of money for their floor, but why have a nice floor if people aren't allowed to walk on it!!??
I think its exceptionally rude when people ask me to removed my shoes! I cant begin to tell you how uncomfortable I am without my shoes on. I dislike feet, I dislike the thought of people seeing my feet, i dislike the idea (and this happens A LOT) of people thinking its okay that, because i have removed my shoes at the door, they are allowed to try them on and prance around outside in them!!!
If I ever build a home, I'm going to have concrete and tiles!!! Easy to clean and no-one will get shitty at you for having shoes on them!!!
Here is a message to people who don't like shoes on their floors: 'If you don't like it, be prepared to have pissy visitors! Also, if you feel the need to ask me to remove a piece of my clothing, please supply a chair so that on the occasions that I'm wearing a dress and shoes that are particularly hard to remove I don't have to sit my precious backside on your over-rated floor and flash the world!!!'
This is one of my diva traits!
Get used to it!
