Everyone has their "type" when it comes to sexual attraction.

It could be a woman's scent, a man's fashion sense, or a confident attitude that really gets a heart fluttering at 100 m.p.h.
However, what someone thinks is "hot" or "sexy" may be a total turn-off for others.

Curious to hear from strangers about the qualities they don't look for in relationships, Redditor hmansloth asked:
"What is something you cannot find hot or attractive no matter how hard you try?"

People discuss the looks and behavior that are off-putting to them.

Know-It-All

"Everyone's typing sexual shiz, but here's mine: Ego. When someone thinks they're just a top of the line kinda person and know everything about anything? No, just no."

"Had a guy I had just started dating awhile back ask me about my job at the time. I was telling him about it, but he would interrupt me to try and CORRECT me on things he clearly had no idea about (and was also wrong about every time he opened his mouth lol)."

– Turkey__Puncher

Toxicity

"Many things, but, the romanticising of toxic behaviour and toxic relationships primarily in films."

"Example uno - After Example duo - The Kissing Booth Example tre - Twilight"

"That" Couple

– Vila_VividEdge

When it comes to the bedroom, these activities were ones Redditors could do without.

Getting Anal

"Scat."

"Truth be told, I had an ex who loves being f'ked in the a**. But it wasn't till the 20th ish time I realized she only wanted it up the poop shoot If she had diarrhea. And unfortunately it ended up all over me. Then she'd lick it off. Every single time I went immediately limp and couldn't finish. I tried, but, no.""I tried because she was into it."– oO_SbowWulf_Oo

What others find repulsive, others find totally sexy. That's the beauty of dating, though, isn't it?

There's someone for everyone.

For those of you who are single and still looking, don't lose hope.

Your unicorn is out there.
