Imagine meeting a person that catches your eye – someone whose presence is impossible to ignore, only for them to say or do something that is a total turn off.
Chances are, quite a few people have been in such a situation, or at the very least have given thought to what they consider a turn off, as they came up with plenty of examples when asked about them online. A number of netizens shared their opinions in a thread started by one member of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community, who wanted to know what things women do that men consider to be turn offs.
If you’re curious, too, you can find their two cents on the list below, where you will also find Bored Panda’s interviews with clinical psychologist, author, and mental health advocate Dr. Monica Vermani and relationship intelligence expert Railey Molinario, who were kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the role turnoffs play regarding romantic relationships.
