Physically:

Him being weaker than me (Srs)

I love being playful and wrestling with my guy but if I can beat him...

There's a problem lol

Not in any way saying I need a Mr.Macho man but has to have some masculinity to a degree.

Mentally:

Too selfish

A wide friend circle. I only consider a few people my friend, and rather a woman who is the same.

Needs too much attention. Won't go into detail just the type of female who needs lots of attention from lots of different people to feel important/wanted.

For the most part I'm pretty old school. My image of a great relationship is two people who are not only lovers but best friends. They work as a team to tend the house and pay bills, and don't need much outside themselves. Keep it simple.

Small girl hands.

Manipulative, controlling, easy to anger.

Bad hygiene in all areas.

Player, womanizer.

Takes more than he's willing to give, whether it's emotional, financial, or their time.

Someone selfish - get your ass outta your head and realize there's other people around you...lol

You mean like Leo's

I'm not naming signs lol...if YOU wanna say Leo's then cool beans. I don't like selfish people and I've met selfish people of a few different signs.

Virgos too

Personally I've known Libras, Leos, Taurus, Geminis, Sags, Aries to be on the selfish end. BUT to me it's not an astrology thing. That's a human thing...some people are just more selfish and self centered than others - it's a balance.

What's yours? I need to ask this on leo forum

I completely abhor the "princess" mentality. If a woman says "I'm a princess," I'm usually already halfway out of the door. It usually just means the woman is emotionally immature, selfish, inconsiderate, etc. It's the type of personality that encourages that the person be irresponsible. Literally the opposite of the type of women I like. I'm looking for a queen, not a snot-nosed brat.

As a Leo I like women with a lioness mentality, which usually means passionate and confident. I think most Leos also like women who can be a little sassy too, it keeps us on our toes.

Passive-aggressive

Poor judge of character

Lying

Violent (aside from in self defense, or protecting others from physical harm) -- this includes breaking things when angry, either their own possessions or other people's. I understand the urge, but a person needs to learn how to channel that in a way that isn't destructive -- like get a punching bag, for example.

What turns me off in a man:

Lack of motivation- I'm not always motivated myself but don't be like this all the time

Lack of ambition

More sexual than sensual. I'm a Taurus woman ffs, mix both please.

Complains too much about anything and everything.

Too Needy- I like affection & attention, but I also like my space. I expect you to be the same too.

Liars, even white lies.

BS artist- Impress me by being yourself, not something you're not. Don't be full of sh*t

Lack of initiative.

Infidelity

Cowards......guys that ghost women....so weak

No sense of humour

Overly feminine....I don't want him to give me makeup tips, what to wear etc and I don't want him to overly groom and hog the mirror, be manly please

Stoner or boozer

Unkind and selfishness

But most of all, don't (as VS suggested) vote conservative...a fate worth than death

Lol

Farting - outwardly and loudly! Like it's okay to do so! It's not! It's gross!

Haha! Really? I fart at my husband if he pisses me off.

Haha..what sign is your man?

Pisces, but he's Cancer rising and moon, so he does get butthurt about it. 😆

Then he dutch-ovens me hours later when I've forgotten.

Oh God, that is a whole lot of water....

So you rather he blow up?

click to expand

Not at all. I just don't like it when a man farts like it's a sport or favourite past-time.

I'm talking about my husband! I used to ignore it but as time went by I pointed out how gross it is ..SO he did it more!

GROSS! ;-(

-too physically clingy, like wanting to lay against me all the time ugh (i have a 5 year old who is allowed to do that, you on the other hand can grow the hell up)

-I don't like talking all that much, so when I speak its important to me. If you don't respond to that or take note of that I will take note of you and eventually will stop talking.

-bad breath...I'm sorry I can't

When they start off on FIRE and then they fizzle off. No sex, mind you, and since I don't hear from them, then I KNOW it was due to the fact that I didn't give them any "booty". He can find it else where; not from me! 😡

🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

I hate flakiness, when someone can't stand up to whatever value we hold as a couple (ex: the majority thinks it's shameful for people to live together before marriage, we live together, person jokes willingly to fit in and appease others) (I know, very specific), a wandering eye, a big mouth.

Men who use illness to get attention..... oh I've caught a cold..... I've hurt my back...... wimps!!

Abuse of my kindness...... mistaking me for a weak woman, then there will be trouble ahead for you

Insincerity...... because you think I won't suss that one out?!
