What Turns Men Off/What Makes Women Want to Run for the Hills?



I reached out to some males and females and asked them to share with us what turns them off either in a relationship, or from entering in to one. What's that thing that makes them want to run the other way? That guy who thinks everyone is out to get him (including you). That female who created a Facebook page pretending to be you and sends messages out to your other friends (one of my cousin's girlfriend actually did this. Creepy.) Below are some of the responses I got back:

"Insecure woman, loud, no compassion, too formal or conservative, narrow minded." Charles

"Cockiness is a turn off. Its nice for a guy to be confident and driven in what God has blessed him with. but there is a fine line, so why are you praising yourself? Guys think its macho, but I think its insecurity when a guy tries that hard to talk himself up. Let others praise you. This is not an interview. Major turnoff. Oh, and talking about other females like exes on a first date. That doesn't get second dates, guaranteed." Wenwu

"INSECURITY - Women who are insecure usually exhibit low self-esteem, complain a lot about everything, are very possessive and downright petrifying. "When is it time to RUN for the hills? When your female friend is constantly asking you the following questions:"

·Does this dress make me look fat?

·Who is that new girl at your office and how come she’s is on your team and not the other supervisors’?

·Whose number is this and why do you keep calling it over and over?

·Why are you comparing me to other girls?

·Who are you looking at? Do you want to be with her or me?

·What is the password to your cell phone or email?

"Guys, if you get these kinds of questions from your female friend over and over, it may be time to RUN for the hills." John

"One thing that has turned me off since I was in high school is a guy that does not hold the door open for me on our first date. I continued dating a few guys that did that (despite my initial feelings of disgust), and they usually turned out to be lazy! And my next "turn off" if you haven't guessed it, is laziness. When that trait became clear, I did not hesitate to say goodbye!" Marina

"I hate bitching. For instance, my wife and I know each other so well, she would start a bitching session by saying, "I dont want to complain, but.." and then I would do what I have to do in respect for her." Standford

"An emotionally needy man. I need my man to be my rock, don't burden me with all your emotions." - anonymous

"Things about a girl that would turns me off would be a girl that is aggressive, clingy, and the worst of all disrespectful." Christopher

"Bad breath. If his breath smells like he had garlic for breakfast and onions for lunch all the damn time, I will definitely be running the other way!" Tina

"There will be those who find what is meant to be real in a relationship. The lucky ones who re-define what love really is, and can give and receive to nurture it. To these men who are not cheaters, lets let the relationship exist with a mutual respect and honor. Simply put, a lack of trust is what turns this man off." Calvin

"A big turn-off is when your interest is not able to reasonably integrate themselves into your friend groups. I have a variety of friends and if he is not able to hang out with us and adapt to the situation (i.e. staying off in the corner or always wanting to stay by my side), that is a huge yellow flag. Get your social on!" anonymous

"Now, what is unique to all men universally (which is also my position) is that we all will despise and get turned off by a women who lies." Oliver

"What turns me off is men whose eyes at first approach gravitate directly
below the shoulders and then make that "umph" animalistic grunt as if to
mark their territory. I'm not sure if they mean it as a compliment or are
intentionally communicating that sex is their only intent. But it repels." Kadi


"The ultimate fear that I will get bored with the other person. As an aquarius, I tend to want something new often and I'm free willed so I also tend to have a fear of being tied down." Tim
