    Smoking would be an utter deal breaker for me. How could I live with somebody who was prepared to physically endanger my life for years into the future by inflicting their passive smoking on me?

    I am surprised at the phone thing…the other things not so much so.

    I'm not really surprised at any of the reasons on here. However I do think some are completely unnecessary and some I don't understand at all but it is one area of life where we are free to be as prejudice as we wish, no matter how irrational!

    Smoking is a big no for me. People that smoke smell of cigarettes and the smell makes me feel sick.

    Other things that would put me off someone would be if they were bigoted when it came to things like colour, religion, if someone was gay. Also people with no sense of humour annoy me

  • Physical turn offs - general poor hygiene (greasy hair, bad breath), facial hair, scruffy shoes.

    Character turn offs - overly flirtatious with others, financially tight, lazy and inactive.

    I grew up as the youngest brother of 3, in a pit village. I don't know how it happened, or when I made the decision, but from an early age I wanted to treat girls like a gentleman should. I was thought of as "soft" and had to fight against that, which carried on into the Army. but the one sort of girl I was absolutely turned-off by, was the one who laughed at me for opening doors and treating her as well as I could.

    I saw her years later, overweight, smoking as she walked along (another turn-off!) pushing a buggy with one child, two more hanging with her, screaming at one of them. I crossed the street and shuddered.

    I have been married to a real lady for many, many years now, but I had to meet a lot of female frogs before I met my Princess.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    probably get flamed, but among lots of other things, my marriage finished because of a seriously incompatible sex drive, with her feeling 1-2 times a year was enough, and me not being able to carry on living with that little intimacy
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    True. Facial hair on a woman is a big turn off for me.

    It was one of the reasons I split with my husband too (he was happy with never or twice a year when I'd feel the need to bring it up again), don't worry, no flaming from me!
