    I can usually get a sense for someone who thinks too highly of themselves. Having great wedges of dosh isn't an automatic turn on for me, but being arrogant is an automatic turn off. I like confident, but not arrogant.

    On the physical side, I have a penchant for rugby players...preferably back rows...

    Damn it!! Im second row!!!

    A signal that would go unnoticed by the guards?

    I would have thought that, even to the most dopey of guards, walking around with your ärse hanging out the back of your trousers would be noticed.

    Maybe I should test my theory here at work.

    Do you work in a 'sagging your pants' kind of environment? :rotfl:

    Look, they even put signs up warning people to pull their trousers up:

    The explanation I found on google was a bit more explicit!!

    I'm inclined to agree with Gloomendoom here, ie guards noticing - I'm not about to try it out!

    Can I be a fly on the wall to see how you get on at work, please, Gloomendoom? :D

    Funnily, what was an absolute turn off was the other extreme (although what you describe would certainly be too), that is men who feel that they are making themselves attractive by pretending that they agree with everything I said, or happened to like everything I did, shared all the same opinions ect...

    The first 'oh, what a coincidence, this happens to be my all time favourite film too' is endearing, after the 5th, you start questioning the truthfulness behind it and when you start to suspect that all they saying is what you want to hear, it becomes a complete turn-off.

    I went out on two dates (gave the benefits of the doubt) when it became clear that the guy either had no opinions/true likes for himself, or would only ever tell me what I wanted to hear thinking that would make me fall in love with him, I said it was better not to take things any further. He then asked me why and I decided to be honest. He than ranted about how horrible it was that women nowadays could appreciate any nice men. I tried to explain it wasn't about being nice but being attracted to the person he really was, even if we didn't share everything, he just got angry.

    A right balance is the way to go!
    I completely agree with everything you just said :)

    Phew..after reading this im feeling a bit deflated. I think i shall just live alone and enjoy my independence without having to fit in/pander to others.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    For me its when a woman/lady texts you & then calls within 10 minutes to see why you haven't replied...even worse is if you cant take the call & you get a horrible voicemail...

    So long as we dont mention Cooking or Ironing as ultimately the biggest bugbear would be a woman's need to read everything their spouse writes. :D

    (awaits frowned looks from Tigs)

    Lack of faith in their spouse :p:p:p:p:p

    Oh wait ... :o
