I thought I would turn this around now. My biggest turn off is simply rude people. If you act like you are to good to talk to me then I feel your not worth any effort on my part!!!!

Rudeness is definitely a big turn off. Pretentiousness and arrogance are others. And if a date says "Comic books are stupid!" and giggles -- well then, FORGET IT!

Serious icky qualities are judgmental, rudeness, trash talkers. Smoking is a DEFINITE turn-off as is any kind of drug use. Guys who aren't interested in affection, such as kissing, holding hands, etc.
Guys who are more interested in "acting" straight then just being themselves. But also VERY effeminate guys. Especially when they constantly call other guys by female pronouns. Such as "look at her" or "ooh, isn't she tacky" when they are talking about a guy. Its cool to nelly out on occasion, we all do, but not constantly.
I had a bunch of turn-ons so it only makes sense that I have a few turn-offs.

Hmmmm...
A bore is a total turnoff to me, even if he was as hot as Matt Damon or Rokk Steady. Of course, if a bore is THAT hot, I'm willing to tolerate it longer... but eventually, I'll be all "Do something STUPID, you!!!"
Actually, I think some guys who smoke are TOTALLY hot... but I hate pipes and cigars. I wasn't above a little drug-use in my younger days (sheepish grin!) but I do think we reach an age that is very silly for any kind of continued drug-use.
But my biggest turnoff is joyless whiners.
Which is why I am single I guess. There's LOTS of joyless, whiney 35 year-olds getting high EVERY day around here... and I find that boring!

Cryptic single-word postings! {grins, ducks, runs}
No, seriously ...
~ Not keeping up in conversational tempo. I can't penetrate or interpret long silences.
~ Being rude, period, but especially if it's with wait-staff and others trying to do their jobs.
~ Dissing someone's extensive vocabulary. Especially mine.
~ Seeing someone showing off erudition for the helluvit and not calling them on it. Including with me.
~ Not being willing to accept at least a good-night pluck on the cheek. This ain't 1960.

THANK you, Grey! I absolutely cannot tolerate someone being hateful to a waiter/waitress.
I had to sling hash during college.
It's VERY obvious when you're with someone who has never had to wait tables for a living...

I have only limited experience in dealing with people in the entertainment industry in L.A., but based on that limited experience, the biggest turn-offs for me are narcissistic self-involvement, insincerity in praising others' work and shameless brown-nosing to those might be able to help your career. Yuck.
Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

A hairy chest and brown eyes helps too....

Someone should have had the courtesy to tell you the 'trend' died over 40 years ago. Short and spiky, that's where its at now.

People who go out of their way to take what you say the wrong way. The overly-easily offended. People who are never wrong in their own minds and can't laugh a good Bwaa-ha-ha at themselves. Oh, and the Dutch, of course. 
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!
