Dear L.B.,

It’s hard to generalize what a woman does to turn a guy off, as each man is different in his likes and dislikes. However I do know that we have a comfort zone and when that is compromised we stop having a good time. So from experience here are some things that are a complete turn off. At the top of my list of turn off’s is DRAMA. Guys do not like drama. We would much rather stay home and watch the evening news than partake in a night filled with crying, emotional outbursts and fighting. Granted shit happens but when it does we like to settle it immediately and then move on. Another major turn off is a woman that acts really obnoxious when she is around people she doesn’t know. I don't know what causes this but it can get really annoying especially if there are co-workers or family around because most likely the next day at work or at the next family get together there will be taunting and laughter and we have now become the court jester of the day. Comfort Zone Compromised!  We do not like to feel intimidated by women either. We are men, the breadwinners, the hunters the Tarzan’s of the jungle and when a women acts as though she is the dominant force on this earth and we are meek insignificant worms, well guys get turned off and won't even attempt eye contact. As you can see I didn't mention looks at all because we are turned off by bad character, poor personalities and obnoxious behavior. It would be like dating ourselves and that’s just gross.

Hi L.B.,

The most common reason is that the gal is in a cluster of other women. There is nothing more daunting than the thought of trying to break into a cluster of women to break one of them away from the group to talk or dance. Too many memories of getting shot down and walking away while the group giggles in the background. Meeting and icebreaking with a new woman is scary enough - approaching two or more is just plain terrifying to most men!
