Yeah Lying is a HUGE turnoff...!!!!But we all do it so it's not like we should expect any different than we would give, and we all know that everyone tells a white lie every know and again.

no..actually not everyone can lie
i'm horrible at it..a thing instilled by my mother that makes me stutter everytime i try..i just see her eyes piercing through me and clam up....
so....some people left in the world really can't tell any sort of lie. saves complication too.
i guess smoking is bad too..especially if they do it around me...
also, if they've broken up with a gf in the past few weeks before me...i now run for the hills with that sort of thing.
also, closet serial killers...you know....hidden bodies in the basement..necrophilia..just..doesn't do it for me...you know?

smoking is the biggest turn-off for me, mostly because of the smell.

similarly the biggest turn-on is when a woman smells really good. i'd rather go out with a average-looking person who smelt nice than an absolute stunner who smoked. it's just gross.

Pseudointellectuals, who never admit when they are wrong, tend to get annoying real quick. Especially people who tend to adhere to today's pop philosophical theories, treating knowledge as if it were a fashion aka fadists. New Agers tend to bother me too, as they think they can discover the "secrets" of the universe via an acid trip or crystal ball. And if they are fundys, they don't even have a chance. Overall, I tend to be more interested in a girl's mind and ideas than her bodily apearance or unique personality.

I for one lie quite often, but never maliciously ("I thought she was 18!" or "Honest, honey, I never cheated on you!"), only teasingly ("The word 'gullible' is not in the dictionary" or "My brother wants to get engaged to his girlfriend, but first he has to find the engagement ring buried in the backyard. It's a long family tradition that the eldest female in the family, in this case my mother, hides the engagement ring by burying it somewhere in the backyard, and the male who wishes to be betrothed has to dig around until he finds it. My brother has been searching for nearly a week now...").

Does lying of the teasing variety count as a turn-off in the same way as lying of the malicious variety?

And you would be an authority on this because......what you've experienced this and tried it for yourself? What makes you think that people try to find the secrets of the universe on an acid trip? Are you stuck in the 70's or what? Last time I checked most people who try to find their inner peace or the "universe" as you put it usually do that on some type of spiritual quest or inner quest, finding peace within themselves not by the use of Drugs!

But I guess since you don't believe in any of that then you wouldn't understand it. Again unless you have tried to find your inner self or inner peace or done any work with crystals not a crystal ball ( you sooooooo know what your talking about) then I guess you wouldn't have a clue about it.

Well I'll be!! That's the first intelligent thing I think I've heard from you in a while! But, then again, do you really expect us to believe that a girls looks aren't important to you? Granted I've always been the one harping here that beauty fades and when you are sitting on the porch in your rocking chair........you better like the mind of the person your with because that's all you're really going to have......so looks don't matter to you???

What turns me off -- shallow people who call all fat people ugly or who refuse to see other attractive qualities that some overweight people can have.

Not that I'm overweight -- I'm cute and handsome. I posted my picture on one of the threads in here.

point was made earlier that not all fat people are fat because they want to be.

Many have medical conditions that make them that way. Besides it takes just as much energy if not more to be negative to a person......what goes around comes around so why not just be poliet and if you can't then fall back on that age old addage....a bit cliche' but.....If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Why hurt someone's feelings just because they are different or on purpose? Being mean is a huge turn off!
