Common 'Sexy' Things That Are A Turn-Off For Some Folks

"Reddit user aloe_veracity asked: 'What common 'sexy' thing is a turn-off for you personally?'"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That has always been one of my favorite life sayings.

Whether it's true or not is all subjective.

Maybe it's a truth.

Maybe it's a lie unfortunate people sell themselves.

And at some point in life, we're ALL unfortunate, here and there, now and again.

What is sexy to some is a stomach-turner to others.

Who hasn't been out with friends hunting for love interests and then been left shooketh by certain people's choices?


Redditor aloe_veracity wanted to discuss simple turn-ons and turn-offs, so they asked:

"What common 'sexy' thing is a turn-off for you personally?"

I do not get and will never understand skinny jeans.

Whoever thinks they are sexy is blind.

Use your words...

baby talking GIF Giphy

"Baby talk, is that supposed to be sexy? Because it kinda makes me wanna take them to daycare."

kaeyasimp420

"I baby talk with my partner, but it’s less of a sexy thing and more of a cute n’ cuddly thing when we’re embracing each other."

Off Color

"In Ireland, fake tan is very popular among women of all ages. But any guy I have talked to about this topic hates it, it's okay when done right but 99.9 percent of the time it is orange and patchy and looks like baby diarrhea smeared all over your body."

"Any woman I have discussed this with insists it looks amazing and that the boys love it, but I and any guy I have talked to about it are turned off majorly by the sight and even smell of it."

john_lemon7812

"My sister just shamed me for going somewhere without a fake tan. Don’t mind being pale in Ireland anymore though. Just too much effort to smell like fake tan, and have fake tan on my bed, and clothes. All just to look orange ha."

Just Howl

"Ripping off clothes during sex. Just take them off, no need to be a werewolf."

SuvenPan

"Did this twice. The first time I knew ahead of time that it was on the table, so I wore an old shirt that probably should have been thrown out by that point anyway. The second time, though, was totally on impulse and popped the buttons off of a really nice button-down blouse I’d worn for a job interview that day. At the time, it was hot af but once the hormones wore off and I couldn’t find all the buttons to sew them back on, I was miffed about it."

Be Normal

"Aside from all the physical turn-offs, I am turned off by someone who's acting sexy, it's too ridiculous to me. Just act normal."

_Norman_Bates

"Ugh my husband used to do this, admittedly he can be incredibly socially awkward sometimes which cracks me up and is a reason why I love him, but man do I hate it when he tries to be sexy, squinting his eyes and slightly while raising his eyebrows, biting his lips and all. Gives me the ick so bad."

Unsexy

Not Listening Season 5 GIF by Friends Giphy

"Dated a girl who was really into anime once, she did the hentai cries to be sexy and it was just the most unsexy thing I've ever experienced."

GemoDorgon

This anime craziness is taking over.

To each their own.

Clothes On

"Male strippers. Just not for me and if I ever got a lap dance, I would probably just end up laughing lol."

So Arrogant

"When confidence turns into arrogance."

DeerZealousideal7423

"Agreed. There's a difference between giving off the impression you know how to handle anything thrown your way and thinking that any communication with you is me thinking I'm hot crap and you think I'm unworthy of your attention."

patrickwithtraffic

"I struggle with this, but not because I am arrogant lol. I looked down on my abilities so much that I faked arrogance to be funny. My friends get the joke and we laugh, but I forget the joke doesn't land when the person has just met me."

I Still Cringe

"Oh, God. I KNOW this isn’t common outside of like, the 11th grade, which makes it worse. I have a 6’7 ex who would wiggle his eyebrows and do that tongue flicker thing. Something about something that off-putting being done by a towering beast of a man just made it 1000x worse. I still cringe."

No-Photo8763

"My ex used to do this lick/slurp noise and kinda hang his tongue tip out when he talked about hot people. It legit made me gag more than once. That particular gesture has stuck with me more viscerally than anything else he did."

LeSilverKitsune

Flavored

Tv Show Hulu GIF by The Bear Giphy

"Girls calling me 'Daddy,' it's gross and incestuous. I prefer to be called Chef, it's professional and implies we going to flavor town."

Grow Long

"These stupid short beards which are way too symmetric and that everyone gets from the barber. Like someone drew it with a marker."

Kampfzwerg0

Again, sexiness is all subjective.

Our tastes are clearly all over the map.

Enjoy.
