| |  Instant Turnoffs
I know that similar things have been done, but this can be a fun topic to revive 
So what is it that will instantly make you lose interest in an otherwise attractive or compelling stranger? 
For me, it is the when somebody answers a cell phone in a loud ostentatious manner, elevator looks and wolf whistles.

| | Often, I have been following – I mean, looking at a pretty woman, but am instantly turned off when she lights up a cigarette. 
Also, I might spot a good-looking lady down the isle in the supermarket, and as I rush wildly with my cart to get a closer look, I find that she has painted her face with so much garish makeup, it could choke an armadillo!  |

I can't stand drunk guys, that's a total turn off, but that is also very obvious. The biggest turn off for me is when I start talking to the man and realise he has unacceptable prejucides or is just plain stupid. I also loose interest in nanosecond when I hear stereotyped jargon.

Haven't see any up on this side of the border

| | | Well, since I'm all for class, anything that is generally a low class thing is a turn off for me. Add to that, smoking, excessive swearing, prejudices and 'valley girl' mentality, and that pretty much sums it for me. |

| | I think another real turn off for me is smug arrogance. I also immediately lose interest if a guy exhibits that sleek, predatory attitude that some men (and to be fair, women too) exude.
Not that I am actually in the market, so to speak, but being aware of the desert menu while on a diet does no harm

Let's see, a total turnoff for me....usually the 6'2 285lb guy she's been standing with the whole night. I rarely pursue these women.

| On a similar note, IF she was once a he... That is a bit of a turn off
Or, if she looks like a he. |
