Turn On Turn Off

[nailit]

Whats your biggest *physical* turn on in a member of the opposite sex?
Whats your biggest *physical* turn off in a member of the opposite sex?
(or the same sex if that's your orientation)

Got a friend and our 'tastes' in what we find a turn on in ladies are polar opposites.
Would be interesting to hear the views of other ABers, male and female alike.
Thanks.

(BTW, nothing to do with love, just what physical attributes you find appealing/attractive)

For myself...
Turn on.... minimal make up, well kept hair, good teeth, a bit more 'meat' than is reccommeded (but not too much)
Turn off...too much makeup, greasy hair, hairy armpits, a tache...

I wouldn't fancy him either, nailit.

Always said I wanted tall and dark. Married fairly short and ginger!

[Baldric]

On, . . . . . . . . Slim, fit looking, long hair, good teeth and a SOH.

Off, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the opposite.

Douglas I always assumed 'mullered' came from the Lovari word to kill 'Mullo', because you can say ' I'll mull you' or 'muller you'. It literally means to make dead rather than kill ( weird twist of lingustics). I might be wrong but I've heard so many travellers speaking it like that I just assumed that was where it was from. x

One of my most passionate love affairs was with a guy who when I first met I thought OMG he's so ugly.

Seems your spelling credits a German footballer, instrumental in the on-field destruction of England.

I'll take that. :-)

[-Talbot-]

Oh no...don't tell me Sqad has seduced you, Prudie :o/

[Cloverjo]

My friends used to laugh at my liking of men with rough hands and dirty fingernails.

The dirty nails would put me off now, though.

I used to have a crush on a teacher who had a couple of missing teeth - not front ones though. That's a definite no-no.
BO also: no way.

Biggest turn-on?

Intelligence/education.

I’ll hasten to add I’m not educated to a high standard myself(not even A levels) but can hold my own(oo-er, who started a thread on smutty innuendo this week?) but do find intelligent conversation a turn on.

[kvalidir]

I like rough hands Clover that look like they've been doing something. Nothing worse than a guy with weak, soft, clammy hands, that's a massive turn off.

Prudie, I once had an affair when I was younger with the female version. I really didn't find her attractive and she wasn't definitely my 'type' but by god, the sex was awesome. Not been shallow or anything but who ever ended up with her as his own ideal of attractive was one lucky bloke.

Rough hands, dirty fingernails?
Signs of someone earning an honest (and clean) living maybe?

There are plenty of turn ons and turn offs but I was out for lunch a couple of weeks ago and the guy on the next table was eating with his mouth wide open and it was revolting. A huge turn off.

I'm a great believer in chemistry Nailit, she may well have been a dead duck with someone else :-)

[kvalidir]

Yes, chemistry gets it every time. The first time I saw the man I'm seeing I knew he was absolutely the one, absolutely instantly, yet lots of people I know consider him weird and ugly looking.

[DarceyK123]

I quite like the hipster look at the moment, big beards, and bald heads.

Not looking now married but when I was looking for a mate I rejected anyone with a beard.

[Barmaid]

Its the mind for me every time. A man could be an absolute adonis but unless he could switch my brain on on it aint happening. Ok there is "nice to look at" but there's a massive gulf between "eye candy" and "turn on".

[Cloverjo]

When I met my OH he used to shave his armpits. Not for aesthetics, but to avoid smelling. I told him straightaway it put me off. I prefer men a bit hairy. But not too rug-like.
