Rules of Attraction

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!!!
