    Arrow Turn-ons and Turn-offs

    Pretty easy: which of the above are turn-ons or turn-offs? Any absolute deal-breakers?

    Elaborate as necessary. For example, you make like tongue-piercings, but think that nose piercings are booger collectors.

    I don't care about any of those. It's things like heroin addiction or criminal records for violence that are deal breakers for me.

    Turn-ons: brains, confidence.
    Turn-offs: people who care about the crap listed in this poll.

    Well, except grills. A tasty barbeque is always a definite turn-on.

    I, personally, just don't like piercings. Even ears piercings, I could do without.

    Of course, these aren't the only factors in attraction, but people have their preferences. Looking at my selections, I don't seem to mind color changes, but do dislike the addition of objects like rings, fake hair, or clothes.

    Men with long hair turn me off. Also, body piercings generally turn me off as well.

    Men in general turn me off.

    Ear piercings are fine. Others are not. Tattoos are just another way of saying pay me less and don't take me seriously. I don't take people with tattoos seriously.

    ON almost everything in the poll my response is that it depends

    Tatoos-- I like a tatooless woman and a LOPT of body art MIGHT be a turn off but sometimes one or two well placed small tatoos can be a naughty surprise.

    Dentures? Usually they are so well done, how would you know unless she popped them out ?

    Dyed hair is quite cool...like it. Piercings are a definite turn off for me (beyond ear piercings anyway).

    Normal dyed hair say to cover up gray matching your natural color ok, but the pink and the blue crap well it's just CRAP!! Who has blue hair unless your 90! One or two small tasteful tatoos well placed out of view is acceptable.

    Tattoos, small, tasteful ones are fine. Otherwise, major turnoff. If I wanted to go with the hood, I'd date in the hood. Since I'm not in the hood, I don't want you bringing the hood to me.

    Piercings? Ears, don't care. Lip, Nose, elsewhere? Gross.

    Dyed hair - depends on the color. Natural colors, fine, I don't mind. Hot Pink? Eh, someone else, please.

    Grills as in braces? Had them for a long time. They are a pain in the ass. So no.

    Weaves, like cornrows? If I wanted to date the hood, I'd date in the hood.

    Dentures? Meh. Turn off but not a deal breaker.

    Lots of Jewelery? I prefer the girl next door, tyvm.

    Color changing eyes? No thank you.

    Things I do like.

    Long hair., Please.

    Dresses + Sundresses.

    Less makeup rather than more with a nice perfume.

    Tattoos are a major turn off. Piercings look good in the ears, nose, and belly button. But a pierced tongue, lip, or other body part is a major turn-off.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

    s'trewth!

    i dig tattoos, piercings, neon hair color, &c. for the most part. that being said, I do not have a fondness for chest tattoos unless they're really good/well integrated. I dated a lady recently that had several tattoos and a chest piece that was nice, but there was also a horrendous (by her own admission) skull that was a part of it that wasn't easy to take the task at hand seriously when we were being intimate. I'm also not fond of gauged earlobes, either.

    Seeing as most of us lot are married with kiddos on the way, I'm not exactly sure what you're implying. There's what, maybe 2 posters, myself and Albie who aren't 'sampling the mineral water', as you've said. And of us, only one of us whom posts about his personal life here...
