What is your biggest turnoff?

[victra♥]

I'm pretty confused now.

Which reminds me. Confusing girls turn me off.

 

[ru5514n]

I don't like really dumb girls. I would say shallowness is a turn-off too.

P.S. How come every time someone makes a thread about any topic, any topic at all, it gets completely sidetracked into some random debate that most people usually know little to nothing about? I didn't come here to see yet another pointless discussion in which the only thing that gets accomplished is people flaming one another left and right for no apparent reason.

 

[jugfingers]

Weak people.

 

[victra♥]

It's the internet. Business comes in packages of seriousness.

Yeah, if you knew anything about what I was talking about you wouldn't say that. The irony here is astounding.

Anyway, I hate girls who assume stuff.

 

[ru5514n]

Yeah, if you knew anything about what I was talking about you wouldn't say that. The irony here is astounding.

Point is, I personally don't care what your or anybody else's beliefs are. I sure you can say the same about me and everyone else. I doubt anyone comes here to see another flame war. Case closed.

 

[Superspright]

Yeah, you just proved my point. Case closed.

If you want to discuss this, please PM me. Otherwise stop cluttering the thread. But so people don't think you've simply 'won the argument': I don't think you completely understand irreducible complexity. I'm referring to it in the sense that the biology within a single cell--what we would have needed to begin life--is impossible to have evolved from non-life. There are much greater arguments than these that dismantle macroevolution, but I am trying now to shed light on the beginning of life. Richard Dawkins himself, evolution's most famous proponent, admits that no one knows at all how life began. And when you examine the vast complexity of a single cell (and please, look into molecular biology before writing this off), it begs the question of: Is there a Creator? I believe there is. I also put faith in prophecy after prophecy you see fulfilled in the Hebrew Scriptures. The prophecies about Jesus are one thing--and are incredibly convincing if you really dig into the historical accuracy of the gospels. But even beyond that, there are prophecies that are made so clearly about other figures in history. Cyrus king of Persia and the Roman Emperor Domitian are incredibly convincing in their own right. The only way scholars have of denying the existence of the Hebraic or Christian God is to say that these were written after the fact--something that cannot be supported by what we know of the books of Isaiah and Daniel. Daniel, which is the book that includes the prophecy about Domitian, pinpoints details with incredible accuracy. If I am not mistaken, the book of Daniel was accepted into the Jewish canon at around the 3rd century B.C. (meaning it had to be written prior to that--being accepted into the Jewish canon is no small matter), yet Domitian lived between 51 and 96 A.D. If anyone studies into the evidence behind this, he should at the very least be convinced of the Hebraic God--if He is not synonymous with the Christian God. I would recommend looking into Daniel by John Oakes, which covers extensively the prophecies within the book. I heard him speak on several occasions, but once in a class that detailed the prophecies in Daniel specifically.

Back on the note of evolution: Evolution all depends on how you define it. You can define it as change over time within species--which is without question. You can define it as species changing from one to another. You can define it as the evolution of non-life to life. And you can define it as the evolution of elements as well. I do not agree with any sort of evolution except the first one. I'm still doing much research about this, and I profess that I am not a scientist, let alone a molecular biologist. However, I am at the beginning of my research. I do intend to read more than just anti-evolution books. I'm particularly interested in what Richard Dawkins has to say on the matter, as he's one of the more prominent evolutionists today. Regardless, I beg that you take me at my word when I say that I have investigated many things to come to the conclusion I'm at now. This might not always be my conclusion, and I am completely open to the idea of the Bible being wrong. However, I do ask for your respect in this matter in understanding that I am an educated individual who has done at least some research, and is continuing to broaden his horizons. The information I've looked at so far has not convinced me of evolution. And I do think that it requires some heavy skepticism. If anyone wishes to continue this conversation further: Please PM me. We don't need any more of this in a turn-offs thread.

 

[CRASHiC]

Women who are submissive. I like em feisty.

Also, wtf as this argument. No one said that people came from the monkeys that we know. That's a vast oversimplification of evolution in an attempt to discredit it.

 

[bobson]

Excessively "deep" girls who have haughty attitudes about how "shallow" other people are piss me off perhaps more than anything else.

 

[Jimmyfosho]

holy wall of text, u people need to read what the thread says "What is your biggest turnoff" not argue about evolution/other stuff like religions

 

[_Keno_]

I'm turned off by people that are superficial, shallow, or stupid. Having said that, I also hate non-head hair. lol

And I agree with Jimmy, why are we talking about religion/evolution in the biggest turnoff thread? There should be nothing to argue about that subject anyways. It is obvious that observation > myths.

i'm turned off.

 

[Pikaville]

i'm turned off.

BWAH HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well my turnoffs are

Girls who talk waaaay to much and too fast

Girls who are obsessed with really crappy trendy music

AND THIS

ORANGE!!!!!!!

 

[CRASHiC]

Oh yeah, white women. Its part racism and part no boner.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

poor grammar

Spoiler

I'm talking about hicks

 

[Dodongo]

Being dumb, shallow, or pretentious.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I don't think I have any turn-offs anymore.

 

[The Drifter]

I say ta-tas that are to big. I mean, there's a point where you're just like, "They're big enough, stop teh surgeriez!"

 

[Melomaniacal]

*MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CLUTTER*

lolirony

I'll keep it short.

I cannot see myself getting romantically (which is the standpoint I'm speaking of here) attached to a conservative or religious person. Two main reasons:

1. We both have conflicting and strong morals and beliefs. Endless arguments and frustration ensues. Not a healthy relationship, not attractive to me.
2. It is unattractive when someone strongly believes in something I find to be disgusting or offensive. That makes sense, right?

Reminder: opinions are opinions. I know there are two sides to every coin, and I understand that what I find offensive may be the most moral thing to someone else. You would have to really get to know me on a deeper level to really understand my viewpoints on certain things/people, but this will have to do.

That is all.

 

[Tamoo]

Girls with bigger dimensions than me :/

 

[X1-12]

girls with hairy underarms is the biggest turn-off, but also girls with anoying voices who are whiney

EDIT: yeah smoking is a massive turnoff too

Spoiler

ARGH NO I'VE POSTED USELESS STUFF IN THE POOL ROOM, ITS NOT MY FAULT I SAW TAMOO POSTED. HE MADE ME DO IT

 

[VodkaHaze]

Smoking is my biggest turn-off. I also hate orange people, so yeah, I am racist (but, then again, we all are somewhat racist). I am also turned off by people who get far too caught up in their religious beliefs (particulary atheism) and spread it as fact when they are actually dogmatising science and giving weak arguments.

Looool you stalking me!!! :o

And ooooh yeah totally forgot about smoking, that's a massive one

 

[X1-12]

lol your name appeared under this on the boards main page and i had to have a look and then i was here and i had to post



argh now you made me post again!

 

[victra♥]

Oh yeah, white women. Its part racism and part no boner.

oh yeah. This.

[Superspright]

*snip*

Well, with a name like proverbs I doubt you will even accept my arguments I have laid out--but I dealt with all of them. I hope you really do the research. You're not stupid. You are just misinformed.

Smoking is my biggest turn-off. I also hate orange people, so yeah, I am racist (but, then again, we all are somewhat racist). I am also turned off by people who get far too caught up in their religious beliefs (particulary atheism) and spread it as fact when they are actually dogmatising science and giving weak arguments.

Firstly, racism is a learned behavior. Trust me. You learned how to be a racist--no one is born that way. Haha. And, atheism is not a religion. Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color--I'm sure we've all heard that a thousand times. Science is nothing at all like dogma. I am unsure of where you get that notion from, but I am sure that you're another person who thinks that the colloquial definition of theory is the same as the scientific definition.

I am just really sick of racists who try to say "Hey, it's natural!" It's not. You're just a piece of garbage who cannot wrap their head around different concepts. You're limited, and weak.

I gotta say, if I was a girl, I wouldn't date most of you. Racists, and people who don't understand science or rational thought? Count me out. You're all the reason why women are turning gay and bi. Who would want to date scum?

But one thing to add: Why are we discussing our turn offs here? Like, don't women have enough problems trying to feel good about themselves? Whatever, clearly no one here is a feminist. Or a humanist for that matter.

 

[Suspect]

Oh yeah, white women. Its part racism and part no boner.

I forgot ignorance in my other post

I "hate" racist people.

I won't lie, there is a certain race/type of people that tend to annoy me but im far from racist.

 

[victra♥]

@Superspright

whoa man lol. I'm racist in the sense that I would much rather (in the long term) start a family with another Asian. On the basis of cultural preferences for the most part. I have friends from all cultures, so it's not as if I am disgusted by other races. It's just that when I want an actual relationship with someone, I'd much rather date an Asian.

In other words, I'm turned on by someone who shares my culture and experiences.

 

[Mota]

Super religious, smoking, bad hygiene.

Spoiler

Plus, I'm racist and I'm only into Asians.

Serious? I'm asian but I'm more into Brunettes.

EDIT: Yes! oversized novelty breasts as well.

 

[Superspright]

That's not racist. That's ethnocentrism. That's just as bad, and just as unimaginative. Why don't you fight against your upbringing and your ingrained traits and actually be a person? Instead of a person who plays a predictable role?

You're an automaton to me.

 

[Maniclysane]

You're all the reason why women are turning gay and bi. Who would want to date scum?

You don't just turn bi or gay because you don't like a certain selection of guys. You don't just turn gay or bi randomly for any reason really.

But one thing to add: Why are we discussing our turn offs here? Like, don't women have enough problems trying to feel good about themselves? Whatever, clearly no one here is a feminist. Or a humanist for that matter.

Because it's interesting to talk about. It's not like people have any logical explanations for their turn ons or turn offs. I think a girl that can play bass is the biggest turn on for me ever, but it's not like I have a reason for it. You need to chill brah.

Oh yeah and I think body hairs or smelling bad are my biggest turn offs. No matter how nice of a person you are, if you smell bad im going to avoid you.

 

[Superspright]

You don't just turn bi or gay because you don't like a certain selection of guys. You don't just turn gay or bi randomly for any reason really.

Yeah, because the Greeks weren't gay because of any ya know...society pressure--and actually, I know a lot of girls who are gay because of guys they dated who treated them so badly they cannot date another guy--they are traumatized from it. You can say they were gay all along, but whatever. Not everyone is born gay, but I think that almost all are--but it certainly can fluctuate based on what pressures are around. Homosexuality is kind of fundamental to all species, and it occurs usually when there are particular pressures.

Because it's interesting to talk about. It's not like people have any logical explanations for their turn ons or turn offs. I think a girl that can play bass is the biggest turn on for me ever, but it's not like I have a reason for it. You need to chill brah.

There is a reason for it. You just don't know what it is. You don't understand how you think--whereas I do for the most part. It's an unfortunate consequence of being the machine that it is hard to understand it. But, I am doing my best to eradicate bad personality traits that were taught to me, and biases that have no basis in a better existence and a better outlook--one that is more human.

 

[CRASHiC]

No there isn't a reason for it.

Let me explain something.
I am white.
as a child I was born in Ohio (though later moved to Alanta Georgia and North Carolina by this time)

Yet, even as a crawing baby, when Mariah Carrey or however you spell her name came on, I would craw to the screen and tap that glass, tap it as hard as I could shouting in joy.
I did this
every
single
time.

Come to me today, and I still don't like white women. Its a natural uncontrollable response. Some things you favor may be learned, some things you like may be born into you, and some are just there.

 

[Wiscus]

Eh, I'd have to say to say....uh...people with petty minds?
I can't say that I have an auto turn-off, something that I find admirable in one person I may not stand in another....

 

[justaway12]

People with ugly legs and bad attitudes.

I really dislike them ._.

 

[Dre89]

. And, atheism is not a religion. Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color--I'm sure we've all heard that a thousand times. Science is nothing at all like dogma. I am unsure of where you get that notion from, but I am sure that you're another person who thinks that the colloquial definition of theory is the same as the scientific definition..

No science is a religion, you could just say that the difference is that science relies on observation of nature, whereas religion relies on the observation of man-made (allegedly divine) sources. People are religious about science. There is no scientific proof that scientific proof is the best proof. Instead, one has faith that science is the best proof, which is the same as religion.

Superspright you really need to stop attacking people who think differently to you.

Do you honestly think that out of that thousands and thousands of people that have ever comtemplated on these issues at depth, you're the one person who has all the answers? You're the person who's right on everything, who has the answers to all the big mysteries, and will solve all our problems?

 

[Suspect]

That's not racist. That's ethnocentrism. That's just as bad, and just as unimaginative. Why don't you fight against your upbringing and your ingrained traits and actually be a person? Instead of a person who plays a predictable role?

Agreed .

No. A conglomeration of people have done the footwork for us. You just have to observe the brilliance, and bask in it--soak it up and expose the rest of the world to it.

And uh, science is actually supported by philosophy. You are trying to use circular logic on it--and that doesn't work! Science is a philosophical construct that is supported by axioms of truth. But it has gone beyond philosophy at this point--but everything that was ever science was philosophy at one point.

Also, it isn't about people thinking differently than me. It is about people who think incorrectly--who if given the proper information would easily be able to appeal to my point of view. I know that because what I know leads anyone to these conclusions. It appeals to human reason so deeply and profoundly that to deny it is all willpower.

--

And uh, science =! religion. Science can predict why things behave the way they do, explain it in terms that we can understand, and places us in the proper perspective. Religion doesn't even speculate--religion is like this:

The sun god makes the earth hot. Science says it is a reaction between nuclear particles caused by the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium and the mass lost is converted into energy. Which is eloquently explained by E=MC^2.

If religion could give me that kind of high fidelity in its interpretation of the universe then I'd concede to it, but science makes sense. Religion just doesn't, and doesn't have to. It is a willful experience. You have to be brain damaged into it. Literally. You compartmentalize, and close your mind.

But this is way off topic, and I am sick of people trying to shoot me down. I know what I am talking about. Just give it up.

If you resume, I'll have you genuflecting me in reverence after I elucidate every single scrap of my knowledge like a nuclear missile on your brain. Just stop.

This isn't arrogance--this is just anger. I am tired of debating something so obvious with people. I am done.

[EDIT]

Sorry for derailing this so hard. If you want to do this little debate about the importance of science or how it is a 'religion' then feel free to PM me I guess. I am screwing this entire stupid topic up.
