I'm sure its already been done, but they always evolve.

Turn Ons: Green eyes, black panty-hose, tiny freckles across the nose and cheeks, a very slight gap between the two front teeth, Helena Bonham Carter Fight Club hair, Romance language accents, aviator sunglasses, eating red meat, winking, staring, plays a musical instrument.

Turn Offs: Patchouli, cat love, vegans, happy trails and chin hairs, sorority chic, neon dyed hair, noserings, Candace Bushnellism, hypochondria, making it personal.

Too easy:

Turn ons: Hot slim chicks

Turn offs: The opposite

BUT - a consideration of animals, a refusal to buy anything that's been tested on animals and a love of movies in addition to being a hot chick is good.

― Calum, Thursday, 17 April 2003 23:30 (twenty-two years ago)

consideration of animals

you mean like 'girl, can i have a puppy for christmas?'

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 17 April 2003 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

How can anyone not like 'cat love'??? I swear, I could never have a relationship with anyone that didn't love cats. Cats are FAB. There is this video on PETA which shows a kitten in a science lab after being force fed some shit and it's fucking heartbreaking. I can't stand seeing cat's in pain or trouble or anything. I cry. Rivers.

Turn on: 1
Turn off: 0

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 April 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Pussy.

Is this yr turn-on, hstencil?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 April 2003 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but only if it's being tortured.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Binary jokes rule!

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 18 April 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Turn On's: People who have enough experience in life to keep an open mind on attractiveness.

Turn Off's: Narrow minded fules!

― Hot Fat Chick, Friday, 18 April 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I have an irrational hatred of cats (coz of a new flat flea infestation incident)which normally I'm kinda ashamed of (especially around here) but this thread makes me happy to hate cats!!

― smee (smee), Friday, 18 April 2003 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

turn ons: glances
turn offs: stares

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 18 April 2003 09:12 (twenty-two years ago)

gaz is correct!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 April 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Show a girl a picture of Missy Elliot or Alison Moyet and then show them a pic of Christina or Britney and ask them which they'd rather look like. Sorry mate, that's just life. And nothing wrong with liking slim hot chicks (though this being an internet chat room I'm sure I've offended someone along this way here).
Although I'm sure some guys here will tell me they honestly don't like hot slim chicks. ILE/ ILM never fails to amuse me...

But - hey - I don't grudge women for prefering someone with a six pack to someone with a pot belly.

― Calum, Friday, 18 April 2003 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

turn on-stereo

turn off-brain

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 18 April 2003 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

So you're excluding 46% of the female population from being admired by Calum, if you listen carefully you should hear a collective sigh of relief....

― smee (smee), Friday, 18 April 2003 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm also excluding a large percentage of the male population from being 'admired' by females. Christ, read my post.

And 'admired'? I'm talking about attraction here, not admiration.

― Calum, Friday, 18 April 2003 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Humble apologies, although I'm sure the 46% are relieved you're not attracted to them either.

― smee (smee), Friday, 18 April 2003 11:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Turn On: R U Tenone
Turn Off: Turn On The Bright Lights

(Cats: Yes)

― Frazer, Friday, 18 April 2003 13:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Turn on... is, rather worryingly, someone actually being interested in me. Life offers few turn ons of this nature.

Turn off... ignorance. Of any kind.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 18 April 2003 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

smee, aren't you the one who hates small dogs too? Or am I getting my posters confused...?

Turn ons: Soft lips, Winks, Big hands, Peechees-esque sunglasses, Bangs that fall down on the face and sometimes cover eyes, Cute tennis shoes, Cat appreciation, HUGE record/cd collection, Laughs alot, Plays an instrument.

Turn offs: Swears off deoderant, Frat brother attitude, Chain Smokes (ok out of doors, but major turn off in small space), Preaches Right-wing belief system, Hates cats, Hates women.

I like your list, mookieproof. Nice and simple and I agree with it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 18 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Turn Ons : Sexy dances to Marvin Gaye "come get to this"

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 18 April 2003 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

ons: smart, brunette, blue/gray eyes, smiles a lot (crooked smile is a big plus), likes cats & coffee, writes letters, cares about music (whether that's big record collection, arcane music-related knowledge or both), gets my most obtuse jokes even if she doesn't think they are funny.

offs: skinny like a stick, doesn't drink coffee, doesn't like cats, doesn't care about music, not smart or not funny, wears birkenstocks, thinks showing affection is some kind of competition.

― martin mushrush (mushrush), Friday, 18 April 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

turn on: communicating with eye contact & smiles (especially from across a crowded room)

turn off: trying to do this and them not getting it

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, being misunderstood. I guess that's a pretty big turn off too.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

mushrush, that is me! Too bad for you I'm taken. ;)

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

on : dimples. dark eyes (esp while reading).
off : owning a dog.

― Frühlingsmute (Wintermute), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah, too bad for you martin's describing someone else!

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Another turn off... guys who think they're IT, in spite of their token protestations... and damnation on the puerile women who feed their putrid egotism!

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

turn on: Mazzy Star
turn off: Hole

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

(THE BAND)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

(I wanted more words beginning with 'pu,' but I couldn't work pusillanimous into it. Pungent was a near-miss.)

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

mushrush, that is me! Too bad for you I'm taken. ;)

Actually, I'm taken as well, by a woman who meets that description.

I was objective with the "ons" list instead of just describing her, too.

― martin mushrush (mushrush), Friday, 18 April 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Turn ons: Just about everything
Turn offs: There is a certain type of skinny, white guy that I really find a turn off.

I tend to stare, for hours on end, at the object of my attraction. I did not realise this might be a turn off. I will attempt multiple glances in future and see if enhances our attraction.

― toraneko (toraneko), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

heh, well I do stare unfortunately (even though if someone did that to me I'd prob find it a tad uncomfortable). I realize some find it creepy but I can't help it. Must control urge to do this.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Ons: If you can make me laugh, have a nice smile and bathe regularly, I'm IN
Offs: people who chew with their mouths open and who hit on my friends

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Ons: Eyes, lips, laughter, having already gone through her melodramatic phase and gotten over it, confidence, intelligence, and an appreciation of at least some of the things I appreciate, with bonus points if they're things my friends tend not to like or know about

Offs: Pretentiousness, heavy involvement in a subculture, Ivory Tower syndrome, extensive drug use, low self-esteem, having friends I can't stand (that one seems weird but is because of an ex whose friends were almost entirely people I couldn't stand, which made me wonder if the things she liked about me were the things I was trying to change about myself; I tend to dislike most the people who share my flaws but don't see them as flaws).

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The Band were cool.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

does "heavy involvement in a subculture" include being an ilXor?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Not really. I guess "heavy," "involvement," and "subculture" are all subjective, but I'm thinking more of the folks who spend all their money/free time on the SCA or Trek conventions, permanent residents of the BDSM scene, lifestyle stoners, recreational activists ... basically people it makes sense for me to meet as friends, but wouldn't want to date.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

On: Smart, funny, honest (tactfully rather than blatantly), considerate, a wide range of interests. And cool eyes.

Off: Disdainful/judgemental about differing opinions etc. (me:"I love this song! It reminds me of blahblahfondmemory..." him: "This song sucks."). Difficulty expressing emotion. Bad hygiene. Obnoxiously religious or conservative.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I figured you were describing your significant other, martin mushy. I was just kidding. But maybe she could be my new best friend as we are so much alike? Does she post here?

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Another turn off... guys who think they're IT, in spite of their token protestations... and damnation on the puerile women who feed their putrid egotism!

egotism is hot. if they're worthy enough i'll gladly feed their self-obsession and egomania, as long as they feed mine too.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Turn on: tomboys who are still totally feminine, ie talk about sports while wearing lipstick and a dress

offs: blown-dry hair, no sense of humor, indecisiveness, too cool to get excited, no cultural awareness, not interested in music, piercings (except for the nose and ears), religious, big boobs, not having one's own interests, trying to prove how totally compatible we are in every way

― stephanie tuerk (stephanie), Friday, 18 April 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I figured you were describing your significant other, martin mushy. I was just kidding. But maybe she could be my new best friend as we are so much alike? Does she post here?

Hmmm... I should have added "gives me nicknames based on my last name" to my turn-offs list.

And honest, my turn-ons list really was pretty objective. It has pretty much been the same since before I met my SO. Her dead-ringer status for that description is a bit of a [very] happy accident.

Yes, she posts here. In fact, she's been here longer than I have and is largely responsible for my being here.

― martin mushrush (mushrush), Friday, 18 April 2003 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Off: overly cutesy nicknames or being called 'dear'

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

How 'bout being called 'love' a la a Paul McCartney impersonation?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Or me-lady?

nick you're swimming around in my brain again - "and a beer bong for the lady?" is one of my all time favorite movie lines EVAH.

(PS - yes please)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Ohh no I forgot that one.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Well mostly I meant that Marvin Gaye is a turn on (but I would agree, it is a good thing)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Just download the entirety of the LP "Lets Get It On" and call it a day. Hey, Marvin was one of my turn on from above. Im sexy like that.
