    Women who stand in front of a mirror to take a selfie. (usually in a toilet :D) What's that all about?

    That's because it wasn't a joke. My bf is a bus driver. Someone asked him out for a drink. I'm quite happy to pour her a glass of dog pee if she wants a drink. He's gay. He's my bf. Not hers. She can naff off. She's also fat....

    Body shaming :o

    Wearing skinny jeans that cut off at the ankle and no socks in shoes.
    Swearing
    Man hair buns
    A general shabby appearance - I appreciate a man who takes care of himself and his appearance, although I don't like men who are vain.

    Those boat loafer shoes - which my partner wore on our first date, but I liked him so much and we got on so well I over looked it. 9 years later, he still wears those style shoes :eek:

    Is it to ensure their pout looks sufficiently similar to the face of an acquatic fowl? :D

    Haha! My partner would probably agree.
  • Makeup, the multi-billion pound con practised by the cosmetics industry that somehow slapping it on makes you more attractive. It doesn't, it has the opposite effect.
    Lingerie. I simply don't get it, any of it. I probably fail as a man for this.
    Shaved armpits (and the same goes for hair removal in more intimate places).

    There's a tightrope to walk :eek: . Not one I need to worry about, falling into the "generally shabby" category :rotfl:

    I agree with you on the lingerie, it just feels like an obstacle. :p

    I disagree with the body hair though. Like most men of my generation I prefer no body hair at all from the neck down. However I certainly don't like the look when they take their eyebrows off and pencil them on. I also don't like short head hair, the longer the better.
  • On women,

    - excessive makeup
    - fake tans
    - drawn on eyebrows
    - all but the mildest of perfumes
    - being completely hairless down below (always struck me as somewhat creepy that so many men seem to find the pre-pubescent look attractive)

    Forgot about perfume, the self applied olfactory exclusion zone.

    Some people seem to wear some sort of perfume that doesn't smell of anything, but is just cloyingly sickly sweet -- makes me gag _pale_
