These can apply to both genders (anyone who displays these qualities will annoy me, but it's that much worse when it's a physically attractive or charismatic guy who is like this...) General stupidity. Not watching the news/keeping up on current events. A person who is completely apathetic to world/local affairs, but it is consumed with their looks/image/superficial crap, is not endearing. Atheists who do not know who Richard Dawkins is, or those who don't get my 'Vladimir Putin looks like Blond Bond' comments, are out on their rears. A mouth like a trucker. I don't mind the occasional expletive, but when every other phrase or comment begins or drops the f-bomb, I am annoyed. Facial hair. If I can be bothered to shower, style my hair and put on makeup, you can take the time to shave before. Whatever the occasion. (Barring extenuating circumstances.) Serial monogamists. I'll take the guy who hooked up with anything in a skirt before comitting, over the guy who had never been single between the ages of 14 or 15 and... whatever now is. Facebook/social network addicts. I understand BBs & iPhone makes it easy, but when I'm constantly getting Twitter updates from you on my Facebook feed, that's a problem. Religious. If you were baptised as a baby and never go to Church barring Christmas and Easter, fine. If you go every Sunday or whatever your Sabbath is, and can rattle off Bible verses, we're not compatible. An empty bookshelf. Oy vey... IMO, there should be a good mix - one that is just filled with classics suggests a poseur; one that is just one topic suggests OCD. A mix of modern, classic, science, social issues, pop culture, celebrity memoir/autobiography, and bonus if there are a couple in language(s) other than English makes me weak in the knees. Men with kids or who want a soccer team of kids. I do not like kids, and you'll be lucky to get me to agree to one or two. Anyone who dislikes animals. A fear of animals is one thing, being cruel is quite another. Male hair loss or worse, stupid hair styles. I understand hair loss is something most men can't control, but I am the product of my surroundings - my dad has gorgeous hair, and both G-Pa's died with full-heads of hair. There are enough men with nice hair, that I'm willing to hold out.

[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Another physical: men who are too skinny. I'll take the chubby guy with the soft tummy, over the one with the six-pack or an 130-pounder. This might be just a Canadian thing: anyone who bashes French-Canadians and their culture/language based on singular experiences. I have every intention of sending any potential children to Immersion, and if their father is anti-Quebecois based on something silly that happened one time just outside of Quebec City, I can't see that ending well... Gay bashing. Honestly, man-whoring before entering a relationship, smoking (barring habitual pot use; I actually find myself more attracted to smokers despite being a non-smoker myself over non-smokers), bad clothing, I can at least forgive and forget. TBH, I would prefer a man who had had a wild 'player' past and couldn't dress, over a metrosexual who wore a Purity Ring (granted, those are extremes) or a man who had continually been in serious relationships for the last 10 years. When it comes down to it, getting a reformed player to comitt to you seems like more of an accomplishment, or something, than just being Serious Girlfriend #12.
