Most unattractive features in others?

Right, I'm having a rare day when I feel positive about my appearance which for some reason led me to wondering what people find the most unattractive features in others- hence the poll :smile:

I think personality is more important, but it's still interesting (I think anyway) to know what people find the biggest "turn off" physically. In an ideal world, all decisions would be made on your first impressions of someone's personality not their looks, but unfortunately that's not always the way things work. Although in my experience you can grow to love someone you would normally find physically repulsive but cos you love them as a person you gradually change your mind about how you feel about them physically :smile:

Excessive fat. I go for skinny people.
Fat drooping all over the place, or even just a bit too much, makes me cringe.

As well as:
Too many spots
Smelliness
Chavvy attire
Speak like they've just popped out of a cigarette packet
Dirty, visibly unhealthy skin

:smile:

I have "pretty days" too.

Although I have to be honest - I don't find excessive fat nice in myself, let alone others.

lol. I like "pretty days" they're so rare for me and therefore all the more special when they come :wink:

No in all honesty I'd probably go for excessive fat too - I have a bit of a fat issue in that I *hate it*. Although weirdly enough, the last guy I totally obsessed over was *colossal* which just goes to show that in the end, intelligence, a wicked sense of humour and big brown eyes can get me accustomed to anything.........

Yep I hate excess fat on display makes my skin crawl...:frown: sounds shallow but is true I am afraid. I'm a size 8-10 now and still would like to lose some weight off my thighs, so yeah am a true fat hater.:wink: My best friend is size 16 with HH boobs so we provide quite a contrast :laugh:

&also yep excessively bad skin does look...well bad! cannot begin to describe how grateful I was when mine started looking normal& any problems became occasional and easily cover-uppable :smile: tis a nightmare otherwise though; although I'm grateful I never had to go through looking like a few people I know who have such bad acne you can't see their skin, that must be horrible :frown:

heh heh yeah perhaps I should've put "smelliness" down...

Hm that was bad phrasing. Basically, stick thin. Some people find this unattractive, some don't. Personally I think it's nice to be medium sized but we can't all pick and choose unfortunately. I'd like to be med-sized all over and instead my thighs and bum are bigger. Weird.

Its got to be greasy hair! If people can't be bothered washing there hair what else can't they be bothered washing!

I have to say that i don't necessarily go around looking for unattractive features in other.

I qualify them as unattractive when they do not attract me! They certainly isnt a criteria that one has to pass before they are verified and allowed to become attractive.

bad breath!

Shhhhhhuttup Bethany & <3 you're both pretty :p: Very much so.

I guess I don't like excessive fat. Massive lips are just horrible too, I think. Not many people have lips like that without operations though.

-Third nipples.
-Webbed toes.
-Garlic smell :p:

Skanky teeth!
Long nails (men)

urg, bad breath is awful.

I once went out with a guy with quite plump lips, I expected it to make him a really good kisser, it didnt. so yeah since then I also find that a turn off.

greasy hair and fatness have to be the worst though.

Ugh, i saw a picture of a guy who slid down a wall the other day.

He scratched all down his chest, and one of his nipples was HANGING OFF. Possibly the most foul thing i have ever seen.
