Has a man ever done anything that instantly turned you off? What are some things that make a man insanely unattractive, but they don’t realize they do them? Recently someone polled the internet, and these were the top-voted answers to that question.
1. If They are Bad or Absent, Fathers
“This is a little more specific,” shared one. “But anytime I find out that a single man is an inadequate or absent father, it immediately turns me off.” Another added, “Agreed. I get turned off if they complain about paying child support or act like child support goes to fund their ex’s lavish lifestyle. But, unfortunately, that is rarely the case.”

2. If All Their Exes Are “Crazy.”
“In my younger years, I was too naive and got into an abusive relationship where his exes were all supposedly crazy and took advantage of him. It turns out he had the qualities he accused them of,” shared one. Another added, “Any man who says that is giving you a huge red flag to a harmful mentality. Heed the warning.”
3. If They Tell Dirty Jokes When You’re Not That Close
“Especially during serious conversations where cracking jokes would be highly tone-deaf,” assured one. “But they go a step further and crack a dirty joke in a way that makes everyone in the conversation wince.”
“It’s even more cringe and off-putting when they get defensive that their humor doesn’t stick and insists everyone else within earshot doesn’t have a sense of humor when they’re selfish. They have never learned to sit with feelings of discomfort without jumping to tactics that make themselves feel better, with no regard for how that impacts others.”
“There’s a time and place where dirty jokes can be brilliant. But they are often told by morons who can’t be bothered to learn how to read the room (or capable of reading the room but can’t be bothered to read it).”

4. If They Tell Me They’re a “Good Guy.”
Someone suggested, “Tell me they are a good guy and proceed to explain why. If you are a good guy, I don’t need to be sold on it.” A second said, “I don’t understand this one, from even a ‘tactical’ standpoint. Good guys (people) sometimes don’t do good things. That’s life. But by proclaiming your virtue, you’re setting yourself up to be a liar.”
5. If They Avoid Tough Conversations
“Avoiding tough conversations,” one volunteered. “Another agreed, “Yup. If a man immediately shuts down, makes every relationship conversation an exhausting pain in my butt, or goes into a teenage ‘, I can’t do anything right. You’re so mean I’m going to list all your faults!’ spiral.”
‘It’s just so gross to me. Calm down. I would like to know if we can work on an issue together, save the histrionics and let’s communicate.”
6. If He Is Rude
“Being rude in general. It’s just not cool or attractive,” replied one. A second user shared, “Very recently, I found out a guy likes me, but his way of flirting is ‘playful’ insults. There’s nothing playful about only being rude. Like everything he said the second time we hung out was mean.”
7. Bad Breath
“Bad breath. A guy at work had horrible-smelling breath every day. His name was Brad. He quickly became bad breath, Brad,” one replied. Another joked, “Brad Breath.” Many people came to men’s defense and explained women get terrible breath too.

8. If They Refer To Themselves as an Alpha Male
“Whenever I hear a man say that phrase, it makes me cringe. It’s like someone saying they are a nice person like you don’t need to say it if it’s evident,” shared one. “It’s amusing that this is a behavioral model based on animals, not humans. One that is largely misunderstood.”

9. Not Cooking or Cleaning
Someone volunteered, “Not being able to cook or clean is a major turn-off. Those are life skills. I don’t think you need to be a master chef or have an immaculate house. You must know your way around the kitchen, and cleaning is necessary.“
10. Poor Hygiene
One person claimed, “Poor hygiene for real. It is important! I could be attracted to a guy, but when I notice his gross hygiene, I will lose interest in a nanosecond.” Finally, someone argued, “On the other end of this, excessive cologne/body spray. The easiest way for me to instantly lose interest.”
