This article could have easily been titled "The Top 5 Turnoffs for Anyone". I don't know anyone - male or female - that would be turned on by a flaky, non-communicative, manipulative, demanding mate.
I agree 100% Steph.

Ya'll mailed that one. Now what would be the "Top 5 Female Turnoffs". Then we can cover the "turnons". You go first.

I'd boil it down to this... 'if you're gonna fight like a man, don't cower like a woman.' Somewhere along the line woman resort to emotional manipulation of some sort

Judging by these posts, it seems like I'm one of the few guys to respond. I certainly agree with the feeling that these traits would be a big turnoff for anyone. However, this article was about what turns men off about women's behavior. Let me add one trait: people who turn the situation around and make it about someone else, in this case, women complaining about men. Whatever happened to LISTENING to what is being said, UNDERSTANDING the points, and trying to make yourself a better person. Women, and men, can be so selfish. I am dating a wonderful woman who actually cares about NOT being the woman described in the article. That is why she, and not the others, is with me. Learn the lesson ladies, be a better person, and men will notice and respect you on a deeper level.

ya this article could've been written for both men or women BUT...



It was written specifically for women; had it been written specifically for men it definitely would've been much different. Saying things such as... 'Talking about yourself too much' etc. hehe

Thanks for providing these 5 obvious turnoffs. I agree with the other postings that these annoyances should be associated with relationships in general (non gender specific). A few of these are a reminder to me.

They should add another one: "Don't always expect the man to make the first move." Sometimes, believe it or not, we may not notice ALL the women in a single place. Nothing is preventing you from walking up to us and saying, "hi." It shouldn't be expected of us ALL THE TIME. Equality among the genders means just that. Either you're equal at all things, or none...you can't pick and choose.

I have been doing this computer dating since august, and i have found most of the men have no pictures, andif they do have a picture.... when we meet they are 15 years older... 20 pounds heavier.... the computer scene is easy for those little white lies to get out of control... when did meeting someone nice become so hard...

ohhhhhh, sounds like you ladies are upset with a gender specific turn off list. Sorry girls, turning the arrow around doesn't solve anything. This is gender specific. These are things that are turn off's for MEN! Another turn off for men is a woman with an attitude of entitlement and superiority. Who in the world would want a "QUEEN BEE" for a wife? I certinly didn't, I wanted a partner in life, I found her and have been married to her wonderful self for over 12 years. Sooo you girls need to build a bridge and get over yourselves...
