</p>

<p>watching porn isn't a total deal breaker, but it bothers me A LOT--i'm pretty opposed to porn because i think it degrades women.</p>

<p>If you won't date a guy who watches porn, you might as well turn lesbo.</p>

<p>[/kidding]</p>

<p>[/or am I?]</p>

<p>^ there are girls that watch porn too... or at least have watched it at some point in their lives</p>

<p>I personally don't think porn degrades women - it depicts women being openly sexual out of their own free will, and i don't see what's so degrading about that. But I understand some women get very upset if they catch their boyfriend with porn. personally, I don't care if he jacks off to a playboy now and then, as long as he's not getting his rocks off with another girl. I would get upset if he asked me to take down my poster of a nearly naked chace crawford off my wall :)</p>

<p>anyway...turn-offs for me:
judgmental
ugly
fat
SNORES - my god, I would strangle him in his sleep!
says negative stuff about my body - i'd be fine with him pointing out if I gained weight, btw. just don't bother me about things I can't control because I'm already very self-concious of them
smokes
vegan/vegatarian
can't make me laugh
gels his hair</p>

<p>Mcb52, it's true. My friends and I, on a bored Saturday night, purchased the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape. Words cannot describe the sheer magnitude of that man's "talent".</p>

<p>You know, I'm pretty sure lesbians watch porn as much as guys, so... you're looking at a dating pool of priests I suppose.</p>

<p>lol, I watch porn sometimes. I don't object to guys who watch it but they just can't be like, obsessed with it.
Things which turn me off:
-drug use (other than pot)
-complaining about having no money but buys cigarettes and alcohol (I don't care if you smoke and drink, but don't whine about being broke if you are smoking a pack a day. s.t.f.u., seriously)
-is a total cheap ass. won't occasionally pick up the tab when we go out
-is really boring
-makes fun of me for the weird sci-fi/fantasy shows and movies that I like
-is ridiculously obsessed with sports (I like most sports, but quit OMGFREAKINGOUT because the steelers won the superbowl or whatever.)
-sucks in bed
-takes more time to get ready to go out than I do (I'm an hour tops including shower, picking out clothes, makeup and hair)
-is an airhead/pretty but not smart</p>

<p>I agree with leah also, I don't like dating religious guys or really conservative guys (usually go hand in hand where I live, but not always). Everyone I've ever dated has been either atheist or basically incredibly chill about religion.
And stargazerlilies, OMG I hate guys who snore too! I hate people in general who snore. The guy I'm with currently snores a little esp. if he's been drinking so I usually have to roll over and elbow him so he can turn on his side. But he's not really loud, fortunately. My friend and ex-roommate's exbf used to snore ridiculously loud and I hated him because of it!!</p>

<p>I believe a girl has to be open and confident to talk about sex</p>

<p>communication anyone?</p>

<p>(most important factor)</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Well, I'm not sure if you've read my other posts, but I'm a guy.</p>

<p>GIRLS: What do you mean by "sucks in bed"?????</p>

<p>I'd say they probably mean isn't good at sexual activity.</p>

<p>^ sucks in bed can also mean snoring. you don't have to be outstandingly-over-the-top in bed as long as you don't snore. light, occasional snoring is fine - we all do it - but loud obnoxious snoring? sorry, i'll have to suffocate you with my pillow and deal with the consequences after i've had a solid night's sleep :)</p>

<p>Agreed. To anyone who feels that porn degrades women, how do you feel about queer porn where there is no one to supposedly degrade?</p>

<p>Not that I watch any porn very often, but I don't see how it's degrading if a woman is voluntarily does porn and enjoys it. As long as one is not obsessed with it, it's not a deal breaker.</p>
