Surprising things that turn him off

Surprising things that turn him off

BY NICOLE NATION 

Like magnet to steel, most men are attracted to women. However, like oil and water, the attraction can wane because of certain of her actions.

What are his biggest turn-offs?

Brian, 35:

I like when my girl looks good, but some girls just take it to another level. Sometimes they overdo it to the point where their faces are caked with make-up, and their pants are so tight that you can see their business. Everything in moderation. Some women need to learn how to be simple but elegant.

Robert, 47:

Some women have nasty personalities — from they open their mouths it’s just pure cursing. I personally couldn’t live with a woman like that as she would surely send me to the grave with her mouth before my time.

Damian, 30:

When I am with someone I want her to be all mine. I don’t want her parading around the place showcasing her business to everyone. Some women just don’t know how to carry themselves. It’s a major turn-off when I see women too exposed. Sure you can wear something tight and thing, but at least leave something to the imagination.

Patrick, 28:

When you have your woman, you must be able to hug her up and squeeze her up at night. But how can you when her smell repels you?

Oliver, 36:

I’ve dated a few women who, in retrospect, were quite disrespectful to my friends. I mean, they are my boys! You can’t just come and want to disrespect the programme like that.

Philip, 35:

I was with this girl one time and man, she was just too rigid. No matter what I did, I couldn’t do anything right. It was always her way or the highway. We eventually called it quits but in the end I believe that if she was a little bit more open to trying new things. Who knows how great our relationship could have been?

Akeem, 30:

When I met my girlfriend I was young, but when I started working I had to become mature and she wasn’t keeping up in that department. She just wanted to continue gossiping about people and their business; she didn’t want to advance. I had to leave her.

Peter, 39:

I don’t like when a woman isn’t positive. Some women, all they come with everyday is, ‘Mi stressed’. I mean we’re are all feeling the pinch but that doesn’t mean that we have to lament on it day in, day out.

Kemar, 26:

It’s a major turn off when a woman eats more than me. I mean we go out buffet style and she comes back to the table with a truck load of food. Yeah, no. I can’t stand it.

Calvin, 32:

I don’t like when a woman is too manly. I like them when they stay in their element — smiling, friendly, caring. When they become aggressive and come on my turf it’s a major turn-off.

Anthony, 40:

Some women are just toxic and you can know them from a mile away. They are the bitter ones, the ones who lie and cheat. They are the selfish ones who don’t consider the fact that it takes two to make a relationship work.
