Too many to list, but they all come back to health and hygiene. If you don't take care of yourself, chance are I'm not interested. Perhaps that is shallow, but I think if more people had this attitude, more people would get into shape and stay that way.

So does health and hygiene include weight issues? If you just mean you want a girl to brush her teeth and shower daily, that's pretty normal. But the shallow part is if you wouldn't date a girl because she didn't work out or she was kinda chunky. And THAT is what I'm looking for.

Then call me shallow, because I wouldn't date someone that was more than just a little overweight, but not just because they may or may not be unattractive. It has more to do with having incompatible lifestyles.

Hey, I'm not judging, I would look the other way on a guy if he wasn't wearing a pair of shoes I liked haha.

I could never be with a man that took longer to get 'ready' than me. IE ...plucks eyebrows, uses a lot of hair product (or dyes his hair) gets manicures and a clearcoat. YA know a "high maintenence" guy. ug!

I don't know about the manicures and eyebrow-plucking, but I like when a guy takes care of himself, and if he takes longer than me to get ready that just means he's gonna look good and I'm gonna be able to show him off in public :p

No offense. You are my shallow turn off. The girl with the Abercrombie and Fitch requirement. I really don't mean this to be offensive in anyway, you seem like a nice enough girl.... But really that is probably the single biggest turn off for me more than cigarettes more than obesity.

That way I can date two at once and they won't really mind because they'll be doing each other too. Bad mental picture.

I'm not single, but back when I was...

I'd automatically rule out anyone who smoked, wasn't agnostic or atheist, drove a very expensive car or blew money on similar stupid things, currently was doing drugs (other than maybe pot/alcohol), had really bad hygiene (didn't brush or shower enough), wasn't intelligent (college education was pretty much a requirement.)

Shallow? Maybe. I just wouldn't date anyone that I wouldn't want to be a father to my kids on the off chance of a pregnancy.

What is the one shallow thing that you would reject a potential partner for? Just something little that really shouldn't matter but for some reason you can't help looking for. For me, its the way a guy dresses...if he doesn't have good style it's really hard for me to be attracted to him, even if he's great in every other way. What are yours?

Do you suffer from severely low percieved body image? Seriously... all I've seen you post is about what guys think a fat girl looks like or quirks in a woman that would instantly cause a man to discount them.

That said... things that would keep me from dating a woman.
1. A lazy/crooked eye
2. An annoying voice
3. Tatoos larger than say 2x2" (and even then, more than 1 would be too much :p)
4. Fat (I'm a Kinesiology major, fitness is my life)
- btw I consider "fat" being noticably overweight in more than just shorts or a tank-top.
