re: What are some things about you that may be a turnoff to women?

I read and post on the OT.

I'm an arse

My honesty is a turn off to women. No matter what they say...they HATE the truth.

Being married

You beat me to it. But it's a turn on for some.

Being unconventional.

Most women espouse this supposed mindset that they desire a man who is unique and different...someone who stands apart from the crowd, has unwavering values and principles, and offers something a little different from everyone else.

However, there is a fine line between quirky and eccentric in a cute or ironic fashion, and just being different in an "abnormal" sense.

Even hipster/hippie types who hang out with the "alternative" crowd have a particular list of attributes that they look for in terms of appearance, interests, and general personality traits.

It's okay if you are slightly different, but don't be entirely different. Why? Because women are terrified by men who they can't figure out or pigeonhole within a short period of time. Females like to maintain a mental edge whenever they can. They like to hold the upperhand and don't like being surprised or proven wrong about whatever presuppositions they have towards a respective male.

You can have weird taste in music. You can dress differently. You can have controversial opinions and beliefs. You can even not subscribe to an expected behavior among people in your specific demographic. Yada yada.

But, God forbid you have a combination of several of these aforementioned traits which deviate from the mainstream and the "norm".

When I get home from work, I need to decompress. They just can't seem to wrap their minds around how I just need an hour or so to chill out. I'm sorry that I don't want to immediately start chatting at 100mph the moment I walk in the door, but that's not going to change. I pretty much tell women I'm a borderline workaholic and to take it or leave it. Some think it's admirable, some think I have mixed-up priorities

I'm practically a midget at 5'9.

Same. I started claiming 5'10"

It just sounds so much taller and I'm probably close to 5'11" in boots.

Also I can't grow a nice full beard and I'm very opinionated and fearless if I've had too much to drink. On that note, if I'm "out drinking" I usually keep drinking until I'm blackout drunk, my weekend TD posts after midnight will reflect that

I am too successful and that tends to intimidate a lot of women.

Well that doesn't intimidate women, it gets their panties wet. It's probably your face that is turning them off if you're so successful.

Congrats on the success though, that's nothing to shake a stick at

Heres a quick tip, sarcasm and "being an a-hole" is the number one sign that somebody thinks they are funnier than they are. Sarcasm is funny every now and then, but if its your go to for humor, than girls probably do think you are lame or immature and not creative enough to actually be funny


Heres an example. There is an older guy at my work who is king of "dad jokes". Whenever anyone drops something he says "just put that anywhere". It always get a few sympathy chuckles, while me and my friend just roll our eyes. Is this the type of sarcasm you use?

not listening to them

like...at all
