Girls..

What are the major turn offs for you when your meeting guys (potential boyfriends). Please can you list them, both material/physical and character wise.

And what are the major turn ons..

I consider myself fairly good looking and fairly confident however it just seems such a struggle atm to get a girlfriend.. I want to figure out what I'm doing wrong which makes most girls so un-interested in me.

Replys are much appreciated, thankyou

Definitely! Play the hard to get card a bit. Makes it much more fun than having some guy following you around.

You want a girlfriend, and are therefore what we mean spirited girls might label a tad desperate. Lose this and the girls will, if you are as you say handsome and have more charisma then a toad, come a-running.

Smells blokes are a turn off, as are obese, ugly, stupid ones imo.

i hate being able to see chest hair, especially if its poking out over the top of a jumper YUCK!!
also turn offs include: bad breath, greasy hair, being really lanky
i like a guy to be confident and not be too scared to approach me. good sense of humour with no cheesy chat up lines. most guys i know who have been interested in me tell me that they were too scared to approach me. i find myself very approachable, as do guys that dont fancy me. most guys ive been out with tell me they thought id be "out of their league" so i wdnt b too scared that a girl will be "out of ur league". yea u may get rejected a few times but u never no if u can get the gal u really like unless u try

Yeah desperation is a major turn off
play it cool :smile:
and act more as a friend than a potential boyfriend because otherwise you might seem intimidating

Guys that tell you barefaced lies just to get to buy you a drink; note to the males species - just because you say you're married, doesn't mean I'm going to accept a drink off you!!!

I'm turned off guys who are; unattractive, boring, full of cliches, loud, so drunk they don't know what day it is, on drugs or are chavvy in any remote sense of the word (ie music taste).
