    Include all of the previously mentioned points and add MATERIALISM. I cannot deal with someone who has to buy 'name brand' everything, and talk about it, brag about it, flaunt it. Literally turns my stomach. You can look good without spending the yearly income of a poor family on a pair of shoes. Just sayin' :D

    I'd rather say having a girl marrying you for the sake of having a luxurious lifestyle...

    Married a man who made BIG $$. Took none when I left, went back to school to become a nurse. Graduate in two days and I find myself madly in love with the best man I've ever known. He makes very little money, but WOW, he turns me on ;)

    Gotta love life lessons we have to learn the hard way! xo

    Discourtesy, poor personal hygiene, smoking, ignorance/close-mindedness, submissive/lack of personality, weak character.

    Visually: piercings (including ears), long hair except in very exceptional circumstances, very bad teeth, and, as shallow as it sounds, you will have to work harder to get my attention if you are shorter than me when I'm wearing flat shoes. It's not an absolute, but...

    BAD BREATH. God, that turns me right off. Dirty OR long fingernails. Have you ever noticed guys who leave one fingernail to grow longer than the others? Absolutely terrifying and disgusting!

    Some of mine:

    slouching
    overly-possessive
    being gross (one guy I dated didn't even have hand soap in his bathroom - gag)
    guys who are so interested in the physical part, they don't seem to care about ANYTHING else
    arrogance and cockiness

    Those are the main ones.

    I am completely turned off by chubby people who take shirtless pictures of themselves and make it their profile pic. No one wants to see that.

    Am I the only woman around here that likes "COCKy" guys?

    I think there is a distinct line between cocky and confidence-
    Cocky seems to mask insecurity a lot. Think about it, why project cocky unless you are worried about how people perceive you. Confident people have nothing to prove in life, hence the need not to act out, and self promote the way cocky people do. Behind EVERY cocky person, is an insecure poseur who acts out in defense, in fear of being exposed. Confidence is about being true to whom you are, not being afraid of putting yourself out there. Now that is SEXY!
    Confidence is attractive. Arrogance (cockiness) is obnoxious.

    A woman who thinks it's her job to please everyone. Being hospitable is one thing (and an attractive thing) but not to the point of saying whatever she thinks people want to hear or giving things she doesn't have.

    A person who isn't really listening. They're just waiting for a pause in the conversation so they can turn it back on themselves.

    H'm my old turn offs would've been
    bad teeth
    facial hair
    no confidence

    Now if I were looking it would be more
    bad credit score
    poor job history
    bankruptcy! (RED LIGHT RED LIGHT)
    and bad teeth :p

    Actually...Just some FYI. Many multi-millionaires have either gone bankrupt or been so poor they could only eat ramen at some point in their life. Donald Trump, for example, filed bankruptcy on one of his hotel chains.

    Not such a big red light. Sometimes, you need to fail before you can achieve success. Now, turn that 'light bulb' on.

    There's a big difference between being unsuccessful in business and failing so bad at managing your own personal finances that you have to file bankruptcy. A business going bankrupt is one thing, but not being able to manage your own personal expenses is quite another.

    Not having a sense of humor = huge turn off.
    And lacking a sense of adventure = boring!
    And people who take themselves too seriously = blech!

    Absolutely. I am attracted to people who are quietly secure with who they are, not the ones who feel they have to bray about who they are to anyone who will listen.

    Smoking.

    Too bad every single attractive girl in this town smokes. No, I'm not exaggerating.

    Live in Kentucky? Tobacco country. When we moved here I was surprised that sooo many people smoked. The parents even bought them for their kids! Unbelievable!

    Guys who are overly cocky and full of themselves - definite difference between confidence and cockiness.
    Guys who are rude to the waitress - you can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat waitstaff.
    Lastly no sense of humor. LOVE someone who can be silly and make me laugh
