I'd have to agree with smoking. I can be totally into a hot girl, but as soon as she lights up, I get sad in pants.

Smokers never really bothered me, maybe because I grew up in a house where both parents smoked and now I'm just used to it.

Yeah don't think you need to worry about that. He would already be gay.

I'm just curious, because I'm relatively new around here, but why is it that anyone who gels their hair or knows how to dress is automatically gay? I happen to own a few designer suits and have some overpriced jeans from Express--the former because I found them on sale and the cut fits me better and the latter because I wear jeans at my office but find that your run of the mill jeans are too casual for me to really get away with. Am I suddenly gay?

/rant

At any rate, I have a few. Tattoos tend to scream "trashy" to me, though small ones or less than one and not in any garish colors can be nice. More than one, large tattoos, or obnoxious colors (or even run-of-the-mill tattoos, like the standard butterfly) are huge turnoffs for me. Too many piercings are in the same category.

I also agree that having standards about dress is a major turnoff for me. While I wear Express jeans to work or Ralph Lauren suits occasionally, when I'm not working or meeting with business people, I'm wearing old worn jeans, Sambas, and a beer-related tshirt. It's more comfortable. If a girl's gonna judge me for that, I don't have time for her.

That said, I don't really have much place in this thread either, as I'm engaged.

Yes. You seem to have some sort of designer clothing requirement. That, in my opinion, moves beyond shallow into the snob area.

Realy skinny girls with no curves. they need boobs and hips. I can handle a bit of pudge, but if they look like a 12 year-old boy, I say no.

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

....so you date bisexual men. That's cool, I guess.

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

Fixed.

I, nor any of the bisexual guys I kick it with would have anything to do with Adica who automatically stereotypes those who care about thier image as "high maintenence." If you keep yourself kempt, it doesn't take long to get ready for a night on the town.

ILoveLamp... you imply that bisexual men having sex is bad mental image, yet your screen name is a double entendre? That's shallow.

What are you babbling about? My screen name is from anchorman, when Brick keeps saying "I love lamp", because he's slow and doesn't know what's going on. I wasn't aware of any double entendres.

Why don't you show him how? I think a lot of guys that are like that might actually be receptive if you asked.

I don't think you should have to change anything about a person if they are "the one", so why bother trying to fix someone up?

Southern accents are a hang-up for me. It just conveys raging ignorance.
Tatoos project a trashy image which just ruins the beauty of a woman's body.
Fatness just relegates a woman to friend status at best.

Someone who cares too much about clothes. Don't look like a bum, but if you take an hour to get anywhere...

Smoking.

Too fat (I don't care about super skinny... in fact super skinny is bad if it is just because you diet. I like athletic though because I like to do things like hiking or biking, and would want my GF to be able to do the same).

Both my parents smoked as well. That's why I can't stand it. It's just generally unattractive as well. To each his own, I suppose.

My parents married and my mom is a Catholic and my dad is an Atheist.

They did get divorced after 21 years, but it had nothing to do with religion.
